Thanks
I am attempting to establish Mapserver.
One of the tests to see that Mapserver is running is to query the version
through the command line. This was successful.
Another test is to send http://your.domain.name/cgi-bin/ms4/mapserv.exe .
I've tried 'localhost', 'localhost.localdomain' and
'localhost.localdomain.apache' with no luck.
Can someone suggest a solution. As you can see I'm new to this.
Bob

OpenLayers could consume the PostGIS data through MapServer, served
either as a WMS/WFS or as a direct MapServer call.

Hi
I am looking at Open Layers to display Postgis data.
I have a couple of questions to start.
- Can Open Layers connect directly to Postgis or does it require
other software?
- Is there documentation that shows how to make the connections and
put the system together??
didn't see any detailed answer to this, so...
I believe that Open Layers needs to talk to a WMS or WFS service, rather
than directly executing SQL against a datatabase (PostGIS or otherwise).
A pretty standard configuration is to run Geoserver (geoserver.org) w/
postgis. Mapserver (mapserver.gis.umn.edu) might be another option.
