I am new to Geoserver. I am trying to publish a WMS service for a raster time series using the ImageMosaic plugin in Geoserver. I am using the sample dataset and instructions at this link
I want to use postgres/postgis to map the time values to corresponding layers and created datastore.properties
SPI=org.geotools.data.postgis.PostgisNGDataStoreFactory
host=localhost
port=5432
database=postgis_sample
schema=public
user=postgres
passwd=qwer1234
Loose\ bbox=true
Estimated\ extends=false
validate\ connections=true
Connection\ timeout=10
preparedStatements=true
But when I attempt to create a new store -> Raster data - ImageMosaic -> choose data directory and save, Geoserver ignores my datastore.properties file and uses the default settings by creating shapefile and automatically rewrites and generates a new datastore.properties file. This should not happen according to the documentation. The postgres/postgis service is running and I am able to connect and write from the windows commandline. I also grant all permissions to the public schema. Could someone point out what is going wrong here?
I am using Geoserver 2.11.4, PostgreSQL 10 with PostGIS 2.4.4.
indexer.properties
Caching=false
TimeAttribute=ingestion
Schema=*the_geom:Polygon,location:String,ingestion:java.util.Date
PropertyCollectors=TimestampFileNameExtractorSPI[timeregex](ingestion)
timeregex.properties
regex=[0-9]{8}
EDIT: I have attached the log entries after following the above procedures in this pastebin link.
