comment How to import QGIS Raster into PostGIS
Yes, I would tile that to make it more manageable. 256 x 256 will give you a very large number of files though.

comment How to import QGIS Raster into PostGIS
@Nyxynyx It very much depends on the application and size of the source raster. In most cases you would tile in order to create smaller areas which can be loaded faster than loading an entire image.

comment Grouping of layer with GeoServer and OpenLayers
In respect of the "dynamic" nature - do you mean for layers to be added or removed by an administrator, for example in a configuration file, or by users using controls on the TOC?

comment What's the simplest way to style vector data in Geoserver?
How are you getting your polygon data into GeoServer? Is it in a database loaded from a Shapefile or are you simply uploading the Shapefile? In my experience, the most common reason for SLD to fail to render is a difference in field name casing. For example, a Shapefile field name will often be uppercase whereas a PostGIS field name is more commonly lowercase. The SLD file in GeoServer is case-sensitive!

comment Is Geoserver's “styler” plugin dead?
That means the REST is present but you GeoServer is suffering from some form of failure. I suggest you raise a question on the Geoserver-Devel email list to see if this is a known issue. I am running GeoServer 2.2.1 and my REST API is working correctly. Clicking on one of those items should give you another page of details, not 500 error!

comment Add wfs layer to openlayers map
What web server are you using? Do you know that the proxy cgi script is actually being executed? The fact that your response contains the cgi script would suggest that it is not being executed!

comment proxy.cgi for GeoServer is not accessible in browser
@Riccardo, the 404 error you are seeing is because the proxy.cgi file is not in the correct place. The Tomcat configuration will determine where the proxy.cgi file should go. /cgi-bin/proxy.cgi means it should be in the root of your Tomcat installation - creating the lib folder will not resolve that error. Have you tried putting the proxy.cgi file in the same directory as your web page? Remember that the url supplied to ProxyHost will be relative to your PAGE and not your JS files. Try OpenLayers.Proxyhost='proxy.cgi?url=' and put the file in the same place as your web page.

Why are you trying to convert lat/lng from Bangkok, Thailand to British National Grid? That doesn't seem to make much sense - is there a specific reason?

comment How to calculate difference between bounds in Google Maps?
@Arek I see what you mean now, so what do you actually want to calculate the difference of? Width, Height, Area? Of course if the bounds changed because of a pan then there will be no change in size, just location - what difference would you want to calculate in that case?
