All,

I've recently set up a postgreSQL database, added postGIS, and imported
TIGER/Line data.

I'd now like to set up a program that will allow users to view maps of
this data remotely across the Internet.

I installed GeoServer and I can access it locally using "wget
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/" but, for some reason, I can't access
it remotely. I've tried making changes to its jetty.xml file without
any success. Am I missing something obvious? Is there another way for
me to do this that might work better?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

You'll want to enable GeoServer's OGC:WMS support
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Users+Guide ), to enable
accessing your data via web services using OGC specifications.

>From there, you'll have the option of providing the OGC:WMS URL for
users to integrate into their applications, or, if you are providing an
application, build a client app to do the same. If you are seeking the
latter, check out mapbuilder (http://communitymapbuilder.org/ ).
