Uploading to the File Manager

To ensure your project layers display correctly in G3W-SUITE, you need to upload your database. G3W-SUITE must have access to the actual data source used in your QGIS project — otherwise, your layers may fail to load.


Step 1: Access the File Manager

  1. Go to the G3W-SUITE Administration Panel.

  2. Click the Gear icon in the top navigation bar.

  3. Under File Manager, select Files.

Step 2: Create a Spatialite Folder

  1. In the left-hand menu of the File Manager, navigate to the project_data folder.

  2. Click New Folder in the top navigation bar.

  3. Name the folder spatialite and click Create Folder.


📝
Ensure the file path exactly matches what is defined in your QGIS project.

Step 3: Upload the Database

  1. Open the newly created spatialite folder.

  2. Click Upload in the top navigation bar.

  3. Select and upload the file named g3w_tutorial.sqlite.


Once uploaded, your SpatiaLite database is ready to support your WebGIS services within G3W-SUITE.
