issues with accessing WMS server (geoserver)

Hi,

I'm trying out OruxMaps, to access the tiles served by my own installation of geoserver. I'm trying to create a new WMS entry in OruxMaps on Android. I get as far as to enter the WMS server URL, it sends a GetCapabilities request to my server, lists the layers that are served by my server, but then it cannot retrieve any tiles from the server. even if I just try the 'test' function on the WMS configuraton page in OruxMaps, actually no request is sent to my WMS server (I see this from the log file of the WMS server).

The WMS server in question is this one: http://openaviationmap.tyrell.hu/geoserver/gwc/service/wms

you can see some maps it server via a normal web browser here: http://openaviationmap.tyrell.hu/

What may I be doing wrong?

Hi, Akos;

the 'getcapabilities' 'getmap' tag points to the localhost:

<GetMap>
<Format>image/jpeg</Format>
<Format>image/png</Format>
<DCPType>
<HTTP>
<Get>
<OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://localhost:8088/geoserver/gwc/service/wms?SERVICE=WMS&amp;"/>
</Get>
</HTTP>
</DCPType>
</GetMap>


OruxMaps looks for the images using that url.

indeed, thanks for pointing this out. I'll find out how to reconfigure this so that it points to the proper URLs...
