[Geoserver-users] Newbie-question: My connection to the local PostGIS-datastore

[Albrecht W. <we...@ge...>]

Hello geoserver-community,
i've installed a PostGreSQL8.0/PostGIS-database-server at localhost and now want to
use it with geoserver. I've configurated the db-connection in the
catalog.xml and it looks something like this:

<datastore enabled="true" id="localPostgis" namespace="geo">
                        <connectionParams>
                                <parameter name="user" value="gpuser"/>
                                <parameter name="passwd" value="pass"/>
                                <parameter name="host" value="localhost"/>
                                <parameter name="port" value="5432"/>
                                <parameter name="database" value="gpgeodata"/>
                                <parameter name="dbtype" value="postgis"/>
                        </connectionParams>
                </datastore>
i'd like to test it now e.g. with a GetCapabilities Request like
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
and it should return the contained features. But it doesn't. Maybe i
have to make some additional settings in another configuration file?
Maybe i forgot something else?

Thanks in advance
