We have discussed how to start with Postgresql \/ Postgis<\/a>. Once you have\nyour database, the next most common need is to upload online the data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are many technical possibilities to do this. To keep\nwithin the most standard, the WFS and WMS streams setting from Postgresql \/\nPostgis data is one of the most robust ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we will now see how to start with Geoserver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: The original article was written for\nGeoserver version 2.8.<\/em> I updated it on 9\/9\/2016 to take into account the installation\nchanges for version 2.9.1.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

GeoServer is an open source computer server written in Java that allows\nusers to share and modify geographic data. Designed for interoperability, it\npublishes data from all major sources of spatial data using open standards:\nPostGIS, Oracle Spatial, ArcSDE, DB2, MySQL, Shapefiles, GeoTIFF, GTOPO30, ECW,\nMrSID, JPEG 2000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using standard protocols, it provides KML, GML, Shapefile, GeoRSS, PDF,\nGeoJSON, JPEG, GIF, SVG, PNG files and more. GeoServer OpenLayers includes an\nintegrated client for the preview of data layers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downloading Geoserver<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can download the latest Geoserver stable version of at http:\/\/geoserver.org\/release\/stable\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing Geoserver 2.9.1<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installation itself is very simple. On the other hand, a\nprerequisite for Geoserver is the installation of the Java Runtime Environment\n(JRE). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A further complication is that Geoserver does not work with the latest\nversion (JRE9). It needs Jre8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a problem in itself, each Jre version is installed in a\nseparate directory and several versions can coexist in the same place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To download the Jre version that corresponds to your computer (32 or 64 bits)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install Jre 8 and mark the directory in which you perform this\ninstallation (usually Program Files \/ Java \/ jre1.8.0_65), you will need to\nfill it during the Geoserver installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launch the Geoserver installing programme. The following slideshow\nguides you through the answers of the different windows. Note: if you place the mouse pointer over the\nimage, automatic scrolling stops<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you have installed a Jre 8 64-bit version, you must check the\nfirst option<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not, you have the choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second option is clear. Geoserver launches itself as a Windows\nservice, at the start of your post. You do not have to worry about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you check the first option, you will have to manually start and stop\nGeoserver. In the Windows program bar, under Geoserver, you have two programs:\nStart Geoserver and Stop Geoserver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first opens a command window that you can minimize (not close!). The\nsecond stops the server and permanently closes the command window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: Always close Geoserver strictly using the Stop\nGeoserver program.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the installation is completed, either Geoserver is running (Service\noption) or you can launch it with the Start Geoserver program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interface administration <\/strong>\n\nGeoserver is managed from a web interface. To\naccess it, type the following address in your browser: http: \/\/\nlocalhost: 8080 \/ geoserver.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Uploading the Postgis table created in the\nPostgresql \/ Postgis tutorial.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll refer to the basics, to upload a WFS \/ WMS feed from the Postgis\ntable created in the previous tutorial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will use two Geoserver concepts: the Data Store and the Layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we want to upload a shapefile, we\u2019ll have to use two concepts: Data\nDirectory<\/strong>  and Workspace<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Data Directory<\/strong> has been defined during the installation. By\ndefault it is geoserver \/ data_dir \/ data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to upload a shapefile, you have to create a subdirectory in\nthe Data Directory, and copy it into this subdirectory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physically, the data is correctly place in Geoserver. But it must also\nbe logically placed. We must, therefore, define this subdirectory as Workspace<\/strong>\nin the administration interface-> Workspace> Add workspace.<\/em><\/strong>\nThen, you will allocate a name that may be the same or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of a Postgis database, it cannot be in the Data Directory. These\ntwo notions are then omitted, the Postgis database being in itself a workspace\nfor Geoserver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some examples of data warehouses in a Geoserver installation: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adding a Data Store – Data Warehouse – Postgis<\/strong> \n\nIn the left menu bar, click Warehouses\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick\nAdd New Datastore<\/em><\/strong>. The following window opens\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick\nPostgis, the configuration window opens:\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Leave the workspace by default (quote) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give a name to the data source (name that will appear in the admin\ninterface and not necessarily the same as the layer name) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give the database connection information: host (localhost), port (5432),\ndatabase (postgis_22_sample), schema (public), user (postgres), passwd (the\npostgres password for your database). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click the Save<\/em><\/strong> button at the very bottom of the page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding a layer <\/strong>\n\nClick on the Layers option in the left menu. The\navailable layers page opens\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick\nAdd New Resource\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You will see the Data Store you just created (quote:<\/strong> your name<\/em><\/strong>).\nSelect it. \n\nIn the line corresponding to the layer you want\nto upload, click Publish<\/em><\/strong>. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe\nconfiguration page fort the uploading of your layer opens: \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Enter a title and a summary. \n\nLeave the rest by default, except the\nrights-of-way. Click on \u00a0\u00bb   Data based   \u00bbAnd\u00ab   Calculated\non native rights of way   To fill the control values \u200b\u200b. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFill\nin the definition of the coordinate system for the layer. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To do this, click on the Search<\/em><\/strong> button and look for the\ncoordinate system of your layer. In this case it’s Lambert 93. The Native\nSRC<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is not defined. (When loading the layer into the Postgis database\nit was set to zero = no system). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In CRS Management<\/em><\/strong> select Force the variable\ndefinition.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now save the layer. \n\nTo see the result, on the left menu bar, click\nLayer Preview, and then in the corresponding line for the layer you just\ncreated, click OpenLayers. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA\npage with the result of the layer is displayed: \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note that the address of the page, in the browser address bar \u201cC\u201d is the\naddress that you will be using if you want to connect with the WMS stream with\nQGis (http: \/\/ localhost: 8080 \/ geoserver \/ cite \/ wms?) or to the WFS feed (http:\n\/\/ localhost: 8080 \/ geoserver \/ quote \/ wfs?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
