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

[Justin D. <jde...@un...>]

Hi Albrecht,

Adding the datastore is only the first step. Now you need to add the 
feature types from within your datastore.

Also, unless you have a particular reason, I recommend using the 
configuration user interface to add your datastores/feature types as 
opposed to editing the configuration files manually.

Here is some documentation.
