[OpenLayers-Users] EPSG:900913 Projection

[Chris Holmes]

You've got the wrong list, should ask this question on the Geoserver 
users list (geoserver-users at lists.sourceforge.net)

But the answer to your question is to just upgrade GeoServer.  It was 
only fixed to handle 900913 in version 1.5.3, see 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1277

That and later versions also ship with 900913, so you don't even have to 
add it to the epsg.properties file, it will work out of the box. 
Previous versions won't work even if you put the WKT right, because one 
of the parameters wasn't quite supported.

best regards,

Chris
