Hi,
I have set up a webpage that calls wms from geoserver operating on localhost and using openlayers as a front end. Everything works perfectly well. The next step, however, causes a few issues. My website is hosted on an external server by another company. Therefore, when i upload the webpage it will not work, is there a way to solve this issue? I only have access to the website through the ftp
cheers
You should contact your service provider and ask about running GeoServer on the public webserver. If you can't run GeoServer in an Internet-accessible place, then your options are severely limited. Depending on how complicated/large your data is, you could consider generating a GeoJSON dump of your data set and using OpenLayers' vector styling to perform the rendering client-side. You could generate GeoJSON from GeoServer on your local machine and then upload it as a static file to your hosting provider. OpenLayers would allow you to overlay this data on a publicly available tileset like Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.
