I'm trying to add the following wms service to QGIS using EPSG:3857 and get the following error:

Service (running on L/A/P/P geoserver): 

http://66.228.57.208/geoserver/wms?tiled=true or non-cached http://66.228.57.208/geoserver/wms

Layer:

Carto_Basemap_WGS84WM layer group (presented in 3857 which contains ~ 8 layers all in 3857)

Error:

Response: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ServiceExceptionReport     version="1.3.0" xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ogc http://66.228.57.208:80/geoserver/schemas/wms/1.3.0/exceptions_1_3_0.xsd">   <ServiceException code="InvalidCRS">

Help!

I think some additional detail about where your data is stored would be useful. Though the error initially is Decoding the EPSG Code, the lower part is more informative. There, it says there was a database failure and the connection was closed. This leads me to think it may be a problem with permissions or your connection string to your database. Providing more detail about those aspects, may help. – Get Spatial Sep 6 '12 at 20:53

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

This error used to occur randomly in older versions of GeoServer (as in, on some machines it happened, on others never), but it should be fixed starting with 2.1.5 (yet to be released) and 2.2.0 (which is in RC3)
