Scene

Provides a complete walkthrough of GeoServer: introduction, download, configuration, startup, and publishing a Shapefile, illustrated with screenshots. The resulting map is previewed in OpenLayers (image shown).

Implementation

To change the color of the lines displayed on the map, log into the GeoServer web interface, navigate to the Styles menu, locate the style named Line , and click to edit it.

In the style editor, find the section that defines the line color (shown in the screenshot) and modify the color code to the desired value.

After saving the changes, return to the layer preview and use OpenLayers to view the map again. The line colors reflect the new style.
