AW: [OpenLayers-Users] I can't render a WFS in OpenLayers - help!!

[Sarah Schuessler]

Hi,

I would say that your url/path to proxy file is not right (is 'localhost' right? 
did you try using relative path? and so on)

Hello list!

I need your useful help and experience, regarding with rendering a WFS service 
in OpenLayers!
Specifically, i stored my data in PostgreSQL 8.3/ PostGIS 1.5, i published them 
with GeoServer 2.0.2 creating WMS, WFS, WCS services,  and now i want to show 
the WFS service in Open Layers. With WMS service, i haven't any problems. 


I read a lot, the last days, and i realize that i have to locate a proxy host 
program at a cgi-bin directory.
So, i installed the apache server at 80 port and i downloaded the proxy.cgi from 
the http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#ProxyHost 
.After that, i edit the first line of this file, determining the directory of 
the python's executable program (#C:/Python25/python.exe -u), because the 
operating system of my computer is Windows. Also, i add the variable 'localhost' 
and 'localhost:8080' at the point of allowedHosts, and i renamed the proxy.cgi 
file to proxy.py. Afterwards, i type the link http://localhost/cgi-bin/proxy.py 
at a web browser and the resulting content of this page is the home page of open 
layers.
So, all went well !!

But, when i add the code 
OpenLayers.ProxyHost="http://localhost/cgi-bin/proxy.py?url=" at my javascript 
file and the required code for the WFS service, i can't see the WFS service!!

Why??Any ideas?? i do something wrong??

Any suggestion is accepted!
Thanks!
