GeoServer Image Pyramid Fails?

Question

I am trying to build an image pyramid data store in geoserver 2.14 running windows 10.

I have built the image pyramid as per these instructions: https://www.slideshare.net/geosolutions/creating-a-pyramid-with-gdal-reltile-for-serving-with-geoserver

My pyramid properties file looks like this: Name=satellite

Levels=10.0,10.0 20.0,20.0
LevelsDirs = 0 1
LevelsNum=2
Envelope2D = 1084000.0,4722000.0 2092000.0,6217280.0

File structure is

c:\new\pyramid.properties

C:\new\0\0.dbf
C:\new\0\0.fix
C:\new\0\0.prj
C:\new\0\0.properties
C:\new\0\0.qix
C:\new\0\0.shp
C:\new\0\0.shx
C:\new\0\0.satellite_01_21.tif.....

c:\new\pyramid.properties
C:\new\1\1.dbf
C:\new\1\1.fix
C:\new\1\1.prj
C:\new\1\1.properties
C:\new\1\1.qix
C:\new\1\1.shp
C:\new\1\1.shx
C:\new\1\1.satellite_01_10.tif.....

Both folders 0 and 1, can read in as an imagemosaic, however I cannot get image pyramid to connect to anything

Everytime I hit connect I get the following error:

Could not list layers for this store, an error occurred retrieving them: 
Failed to create reader from file://C:\new\pyramid.properties and hints

My research on this folder suggests a permissions issue with tomcat but I have been unable to find any installation of tomcat on my computer.

Answer 1

I missed the need for a projection file at the root directory at the bottom of slide six herein https://www.slideshare.net/geosolutions/creating-a-pyramid-with-gdal-reltile-for-serving-with-geoserver

Adding a file with the suffix .prj with the following content resolved the issue

PROJCS["NZGD2000 / New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000",
  GEOGCS["NZGD2000",
    DATUM["New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000",
