[Geoserver-users] Broken links in thread

Hello Everyone

In this thread there are two links that I am interested in:

http://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/message/11250960/

Both links were served by CODEHAUS which services are terminated.

Does anybody know where the documents can pointed out by these links are?

Thanks

JJ

Jair,

those links are from 2006! The nearest I can think of is the Styling section in the User Manual:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/index.html

The User Manual also has a Tutorials section, but you might start at the top level as a quick way of finding all the getting started, reference, and tutorial documentation:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/

Are you looking for something in particular?

Kind regards,
Ben.

Thank you Ben.

Actually I've just installed Geoserver and I have some PostGis data that I
want to make available in the web. Reading the manuals I found out that I
need to use WMS, and I am trying to understand how it works. I saw the
description of several commands or functions such as GetCapabilities ,
GetFeatureInfo, etc..

I thought that to make the map available in the web I needed only to adjust
settings in Geoserver pretty much like a normal web server. Am I wrong?

If you can point me to information about how to do that I will appreciate
very much.

Best regards.

JJ

Jair,

you already have PostGIS installed so all you need to do is connect GeoServer. See this quick-start guide:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/gettingstarted/postgis-quickstart/index.html#create-a-data-store

Each table or view in PostGIS can be published as a layer. You can then render these using WMS (see the OpenLayers preview). Now create a web page that uses OpenLayers configured to display your new WMS service:
http://openlayers.org/
http://openlayers.org/en/v3.7.0/examples/wms-image.html
(although it looks like the demo WMS is down; try using your new WMS!)

More PostGIS detail:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/database/postgis.html

Kind regards,
Ben.

Jair,

delivery of the web content is not configured in GeoServer; it is configured on your web site. GeoServer will respond to requests from the client browser generated using, for example, OpenLayers JavaScript. GeoServer is the server, and OpenLayers JavaScript is the client.

On the server that hosts www.example.com, there should be a directory that stores your web content. For example, it might be /var/www or /home/username/public_html. It likely has an index.html in it. If you add an HTML file demo.html in this directory you should be able to access it as http://www.example.com/demo.html .

Place the content of this example in your demo.html and change the ImageWMS url and params to reference your WMS:
http://openlayers.org/en/v3.7.0/examples/wms-image.html

Here is the catch: GeoServer must be somewhere external users can access it. For example: http://services.example.com/geoserver and perhaps your WMS service endpoint is http://services.example.com/geoserver/wms , but it is also fine for them to be on the same server. You might have something like this in OpenLayers:

url: 'http://services.example.com/geoserver/wms’,
params: {'LAYERS': 'ns:layername'},

where ns:layername is your layer name.

When a web user loads http://www.example.com/demo.html their browser loads the JavaScript which then makes requests to http://services.example.com/geoserver/wms to get the rendered images on demand, with new requests as they pan and zoom.

There are many excellent examples for OpenLayers: http://openlayers.org/en/v3.7.0/examples/

Kind regards,
Ben.

Yes, I realized that Ben. I created the data store, opened the layer and saw
the data.

I don't know how to setup in the Geoserver the web site that will display
the data.

Let's say that I have the site www.example.com, where do I enter this
information in Geoserver and how to set it up?

Thank you.

JJ.

Thank you very much Ben,

I'll review all this information trying to make it works.
