[GeoNetwork-users] Proxy question

Hi,
I'm new to the GeoNetwork package and I've made a fresh install on a Linux
RedHat Ent. OS.
Everything run smoothly but I cannot load external layers from the existing
folders resources (Nasa JPL, NASA NEO, DEMIS) and from any other remote
server. I'm able to load local layers from my already running GeoServer
instance.
My install is on a virtual server and I have another frontal Apache server
with ProxyPass directive.

When I try to access remote resources from GeoNetwork MapViewer (triggering
the following url):
http://www.mywebsite.org/geonetwork/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.demis.nl%2Fmapserver%2Fwms.asp%3F%26service%3DWMS%26request%3DGetCapabilities%26language%3Deng%26version%3D1.3.0

I get from Firebug a timeout error: Some unexpected error occurred. Error
text was: Connection timed out

I'm able though to access the same url using an existing/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi
config:
http://www.mywebsite.org/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.demis.nl%2Fmapserver%2Fwms.asp%3F%26service%3DWMS%26request%3DGetCapabilities%26language%3Deng%26version%3D1.3.0

I've extensively search and read posts of this mailing-list but I have not
found how to either:
- Change the GeoNetwork config to allow my working /cgi-bin/proxy.cgi path
to be taken into account
- Configure the GeoNetwork components (I've tried without success various
combination of parameters from the Administration/System Configuration/Proxy
config. option, web.xml/config-gui.xml files,...) to allow external host to
provide layers in the MapViewer.

How have you mange to solve this remote access ?

Thanks a lot for putting me on the right tracks.

Cheers,

Lionel

Hi,
I've been able to solve the proxy pb on my Red-Hat Enterprise server.
I've add to /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6 the following option (replace
my.proxy.url with your proxy):
JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=my.proxy.url -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128"

So now I can load the NASA or DEMIS resources in the "Add Layer" pop-up
window.

BUT...Though I can load the the resources I'm not able to make any the
layers to be either display or properly rendered onto the map ?

None of the NASA layers can be overlaid and the DEMIS ones are not in the
same projection as the default map layer (WGS84).

I'm suspecting some configuration parameters of the projection in GeoNetwork
not correctly set ?

Any ideas on this ?

Thanks,

Lionel

Hi Lionel,

Not sure it is the source of your problem, but NASA JPL (Onearth) data is
no longer available in WMS...
The GetCapabilities still works, but not the layers.
So I guesse you can forget about the Nasa default server.
Cheers,

Jean

Bonsoir Jean,

thanks for your reply. I've check the NASA NEO WMS on another GeoNetwork
instance:(http://clearinghouse.cisc.gmu.edu/geonetwork/srv/en/main.home) and
it works.
So maybe possible restriction of requests from outside US ? I don't know...
Some of the folks operating this GeoNetwork server are on the list. They
might maybe tell us.

Do you have in your bookmarks a working GetCapabilities endpoint with WMS
your are able to run in your GeoNetwork instance you might want to share in
order for me to test ?

Cheers,

Lionel
