I have a geonode_prod instance going via https://github.com/jj0hns0n/chef-geonode ... I was poking around and thinking about adding PostGIS from svn - - will this build and version of postgresql allow a PostGIS install? Any concerns, etc. with doing so? Thanks, Joe.
Joe, You will need to install the postgres development libraries and the development libraries for GEOS and Proj4. We are installing Postgres 8.4 so that should work well with PostGIS trunk. One thing though, every time in the past I wanted to install PostGIS from sources, for one reason or the other I ended up installing GEOS, Proj4 and GDAL from source too. YMMV. Ariel.

I ran into a speedbump with "Postgis 2.0 failed to getBounds" - so reverted to installing PostGIS-1.5.2 - - only had to install postgresql-server-dev-8.4, libxml2-dev and GEOS from source. Loaded data into PostGIS with shp2pgsql and after activating virtual environment - ran "django-admin.py updatelayers --settings=geonode.settings". One caution: I altered the GeoNetwork username/password in my local_settings.py - - this gave me an issue updating layers, so I switched the values back to default..then it ran successfully.

Did you also change the password in GeoNetwork itself? The Django setting doesn't change the GeoNetwork password any more than the database connection parameters change your Postgres password. -d On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 6:39 PM, Joe Larson <joelarso@gmail.com> wrote: > I ran into a speedbump with "Postgis 2.0 failed to getBounds" - so reverted > to installing PostGIS-1.5.2 - - only had to install > postgresql-server-dev-8.4, libxml2-dev and GEOS from source. > > Loaded data into PostGIS with shp2pgsql and after activating virtual > environment - ran "django-admin.py updatelayers > --settings=geonode.settings".

shoot, i just posted about 'GeoNetwork & django-admin.py updatelayers' ... perhaps I need to revisit my settings to ensure all are synced, sorry On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 5:10 PM, David Winslow <dwinslow@opengeo.org> wrote: > Did you also change the password in GeoNetwork itself?

I have seen some discussion on the GeoTools list about how the latest version of PostGIS changes some conventions (naming mostly) which geotools relies on. I think these issues are mostly resolved but I have not followed the discussion closely. As long as GeoServer works well with the version of postgis you install, the rest of GeoNode should be fine. Of course, if you do find any bugs please let us know. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 9:50 AM, Joe Larson <joelarso@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a geonode_prod instance going via > https://github.com/jj0hns0n/chef-geonode ...
