[mapserver-users] Problem with MapInfo TAB file

[Martin, Daniel]

Is there anything special about your TAB layer?  Is it by any chance a
Seamless layer?  Seamless layers for me caused similar issues.  It was
something I reported and the developers fixed - but is only available if you
compile against the latest GDAL (I think that's what Daniel Morissette said
- I don't know much about compiling MapServer).  It was loading every tile
in the Seamless layer.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem with MapInfo TAB file


Hello....

I've spent a couple of days on this problem now, and I'm not getting
anywhere.

I'm using mapserver 3.5 with OGR support for reading MapInfo tab files and
I've never had any problems with this, but lately I've encountered a couple
of weird problems.... Mapserver refuses to open some TAB files... When I
active the layer for a specific tab file mapserver just starts consuming
100% cpu and never gets anywhere.

Has anybody else seen this behavior... Is it a bug in mapserver or is it
just me....

My mapserver version....
C:\Programmer\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin>mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=TIFF
INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Thanks

Anders
