Hi,

The typical approach is via OGC web services (WFS/WMS)

You set up a server (eg: geoserver, UMN mapserver) then you can use a web 
client to render maps (eg: OpenLayers, GeoMoose)

mapserver is a cgi which comes in a ms4w package which may be simpler for you, 
Geoserver is a java/tomcay application.

mapserver can provide WMS/WFS services & also has a java (& php, etc) mapscript 
capability if you want to craft your own client interface instead of using something 
like OpenLayers.

You need to load the postgis.sql and spatial_ref_sys.sql files into your 
database in order to spatially enable it, as per

Hi Khurram,

Please email the list directly in future since it is much more likely 
that someone will be able to help you.

Note that the in-built postgres database is for 
maintenance/administration only - you need to create yourself a new 
database and load postgis.sql into it, as per the manual here: 
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.5/ch02.html#id2797624.

Can uplz give me solution of this issue.


Hi Khurram,

Please email the list directly in future since it is much more likely 
that someone will be able to help you.


Note that the in-built postgres database is for 
maintenance/administration only - you need to create yourself a new 
database and load postgis.sql into it, as per the manual here: 
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.5/ch02.html#id2797624.



HTH,

Mark.
