The above datastores are supported because they are all file based and can be created from scratch by just creating a file within a default directory. Somewhere under the data directory. Unfortunately since postgresql involves an external server we can't make the same assumption. I guess we could configure it with a localhost... but still no guarantee. So you have to create it before hand. 2) how can I configure the postgis (connection parameters...)? You an POST (to add a new one) or PUT to modify an existing one as described here: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-examples-curl.html#adding-a-postgis-database Then after that the conversion should work by specifying your new postgis store as the datastore in the PUT url. > > Kind regards > Martin > > > > Justin Deoliveira-6 wrote: > > > > Hi Martin, > > > > It actually is documented... just sort of hidden.
