Hi Alex,
Ok so I created the Postgres user and password. Now I need to load the
shapefiles into the newly created db. I have a script that creates the
shapefiles and I wanted those shapefiles to be directly imported into the
Geoserver. The best way I found after some amount googling was that I
create a PostGIS connection in the Geoserver and when I add the shapefiles
into the PostGIS it should automatically update in Geoserver from where I
will be able to retrieve the data.
The issue is how can I directly connect to Postgres db that I have created
and make that a PostGIS, and then add the shapefile to it.
Also I am not sure why but why pgShapeLoader is coming greyed out like in
this image here. <http://i.stack.imgur.com/GsO1R.png> I am using Ubuntu
12.04 and the synaptic package Manager shows that I have installed the
opengeo-postgis-shapeloader <http://i.stack.imgur.com/eYWxW.png>.
Thanks & Regards,
Smaran Harihar
