Using Project Tracker instead?

Sun Mar 12 18:17:27 EST 2006

Bob,
I was assuming that the Project Tracker was for the development team rather
than end user bug and wishlist submission.  Should we be entering issues
directly into there instead of submitting them to the users list?

Thank you.

Eric,

MapGuide Open Source is a brand new platform and this is a 1.0.0 release.
Undoubtedly there are some bugs. However if you interact with this list and
log your bugs as defects using the Project Tracker tool, we will get them
fixed. As a community we are committed to making this the best platform for
creating web mapping applications. Only by working with the community of
users and application developers can we make this happen.

Bob

Bill,

Thank you - that's pretty much what I did, and I'm now able to connect.  

Now, it's just a matter of getting things to work!  Ha... 

I've played a bit with the Getting Started guide, things seem a bit "buggy"
:) - I'm a bit scared to even think of loading my parcel shape file just
based on issues with the small files supplied - I think mine might send it
to the grave.

However, if it can do what I hope it can - it'll be a great tool.

Any insight is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-- Eric

Hi Eric,

Here are some more detailed instructions.  These might help you identify
where it's going wrong.  During steps 2-7 you should not see the word
"Mapserver appear as part of a download or install.

1.	Use the Windows "Add or Remove Programs" dialog to remove the
currently installed MapGuide Studio (or MapServer Studio). 

2.	Go to this URL:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112
<http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=6153839>
&id=6153839 

3.	Scroll to the bottom of the page.  You should see a picture of a
Garmin device, and a paragraph with the heading "The MapGuide Open" 

4.	Just above that, there is link that reads: StudioSetup.exe (exe -
125407 Kb).  Right click on it and download/save it to your file system. 

5.	In the Windows File Explorer, right-click on the StudioSetup.exe
file that you downloaded in step 4 and select Properties.  The "Size:"
should read: 126 MB (132,695,040 bytes) 

6.	Now run the StudioSetup.exe that you downloaded in step 4. 

7.	Confirm that the install was successful by opening the Windows "Add
or Remove Programs" dialog.  There should be an entry for "Autodesk MapGuide
R Studio Preview.  Click on it, and the "Click here for support information"
link will appear.  Click on that link and you will see a text box indicating
the version number.  It should read 1.0.0.16407. 

Let me know how it goes,

Bill

Bill,

Thanks - that's very strange.  Somehow I downloaded Mapserver studio instead
of Mapguide studio.  Perhaps I'm confused - I'm under the impression that
Mapguide Open Source server is really Mapserver.  At any rate, I was somehow
able to download Mapserver Studio (which has the exact same size footprint
and file name as Mapguide Studio).

Please advise,

-- Eric

Hi Eric,

The "version is incompatible" message probably means that you have an old
Studio.  A new one got posted last week to www.autodesk.com/mapguidestudio
with a version number of 1.0.0.16407 (you can use the Help About dialog to
confirm the version). If you download and install the new one, that should
fix your problem

Hi Eric,

The mgp file itself is just a zip file containing all the map resources.
Sometimes Internet Explorer changes the extensions of files it recognizes,
so it likely renamed it to .zip when it downloaded it. Just rename it to
.mgp.

As far as the Studio problem, let's wait for someone else (who knows better)
to answer that. But I am puzzled that you say MapServer Studio... That's
what the 0.9 version was called, the current one should say MapGuide Studio
when it starts up.

All...

Just downloaded MapGuide & Mapserver Studio.

While the Admin appears to function fairly properly - I can't connect from
studio, receiving the following message: "The Studio version is incompatible
with the site version."

Since I downloaded both files today my assumption would be that all would be
synched properly.

Additionally, though I believe these may be related based on other posts..
the sheboygan.mgp download file isn't a .mgp but rather a .zip file doesn't
include a  the sheboygan.mgp file.  And I've tried just putting the .zip
file in the C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Packages folder to no
avail, the admin doesn't see a package.

So.. I'm at somewhat of an impasse because I can't get the demo apps to run
because of no data, and I can't play with the development tool due to a
version conflict.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

-- Eric
