[mapserver-users] mapcache config troubles, "Tile parameter not set"

Tue Apr 28 20:47:26 PDT 2015

I have MapServer set up, rendering PostGIS into tiles for a Leaflet.js project. I want to cache a couple of the layers. I think I have something misconfigured in mapcache.xml. Mapcache is passing MapServer a BBOX instead of a tile reference.

Here’s the raw MapServer request, generated by Leaflet.js if I configure Leaflet to hit MapServer directly. This works fine.

GET /cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/web/www/mapserver/sitesTest.map&layers=property_pt%20property_poly&mode=tile&tilemode=gmap&tile=131+190+9

Here’s a sample request if I configure Leaflet to hit Mapcache. This is what Leaflet asks my server for:

GET /mapcache/tms/1.0.0/hpsites/4/2/4.png

That request generates the following internal request, from Mapcache to Mapserver. It’s pretty close; the layers are right, but not the SERVICE, BBOX, WIDTH, and HEIGHT parameters.

GET /cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=tile&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&STYLES=&BBOX=-20135347.738994,-7611905.024751,-7416226.232341,5107216.481902&WIDTH=1300&HEIGHT=1300&FORMAT=image/png&SRS=EPSG:3857&MAP=/data/web/www/mapserver/sites.map&LAYERS=property_pt%20property_poly
