Hi John,
Sounds like an interesting(ambitious) project. For Geoserver all you
need to do is copy the geoserver.war into the Tomcat webapps directory and
you will be able to http://localhost:port/geoserver The port is whatever you
set for the Tomcat, possibly :8080
You might want to uninstall the Jetty version or at least run the
stop bat. I think you might also want to run only one Tomcat at a time.
Once you have browser access to the geoserver admin you can read the
documentation on configuring a DataStore/Style/FeatureType against your
PostGIS table(s)
It would be interesting to hear how you fare. So far I've been so
pleased with Geoserver that I haven't tried MapGuide or Degree. I think it
fits into a Java backend better than the others you mentioned. Feed back
from other perspectives is always helpful.

Subject: [Geoserver-users] Advice regarding HTTP Servers & GeoServer
Dear All
Please could somebody help with my query, either some advice on where to go
to get the information or the information itself!
I have my spatial data loaded in a PostGIS database and I want to install
MapServer, GeoServer, Deegree and MapGuide Open Source on the same windows
computer which would allow me to compare and contrast the products.
I thought that I would therefore install the latest version of Apache HTTP
server and run all of the products from the same Apache HTTP server.
What I am not sure about is:
1. I have gathered that GeoServer can be run using Apache Tomcat. How do I
configure GeoServer so that it is running from Apache Tomcat and not from
Jetty?
2. I have looked the Apache site, and the Apache Tomcat 6.0 contains its own
HTTP server internally. Therefore if I have already installed Apache HTTP
server, I will be have 2 HTTP servers installed. Can I link the Tomcat to
the independent installation of Apache HTTP server or can I use the HTTP
server bundled with the Tomcat as a HTTP server in its own right?
3. If I do install Apache and get GeoServer to run from it, how do I stop
Jetty starting up when I start Geoserver going?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Kind Regards
John
