[mapserver-users] SLD with Mapserver 5.4.2

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Andrea,

to use SLD you won't need very special mapfile configuration. You
should pay attention to setting the imgpath parameter of the web
section correctly, i.e. accessible and writable by mapserver-cgi,
since the sld's are stored there temporarily while/after downloading
them from the specified URL. I am not aware of any other special
configuration, but very helpful are the debugging outputs, that you
can enable with the keyword DEBUG "on" at map or layer level. I find
it most convenient to specify an errorfile path via CONFIG
"MS_ERRORFILE" "/ms4w/tmp/ms_error.txt" at map level.

Be sure to set the SLD's NamedLayer Name tag value exactly the same as
your mapfile's layer name you want to style.

Cheers, Michael
