Hmm, well, I installed Apache and let it run on localhost:8080, and let it host my OL html page. As long as GeoServer is running that port however, the Apache-hosted html is unreachable, which I guess is logical :p Same port = collision, different ports = browser policy breach.
I think http://faq.openlayers.org/proxyhost/all/ would help, but I'm unsure how to employ it: Download script, put into /apache/cgi-bin; edit OL html page = add "OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/../cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";" as seemingly instructed, attempt to access http://yourdomain.example.com/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi - 404. I'll ponder this for a bit, for surely they must run on different ports to begin with? RT90 wrote: > > Hi, > ah.
