Hey All,<br>
<br>
I would like to use ECW as a data source and have tried with the latest
fgs (mapserver v4.6 and also tried with another install v4.8.1) but I
am obviously having some trouble...... I have "rtfm" : <a
href="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data/#how-are-rasters-added-to-a-map-file">http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data/#how-are-rasters-added-to-a-map-file</a><br>
<font color="#000099"><br>
<font color="#000000">I apologise going to the list for this
information because I'm sure it has been covered before! But apparently
you need a "LISTSERV password" to <a
href="http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa">search the mailing list
archieve's</a> (wtf???) and signing up to the list did not provide me
with a "LISTSERV password".... <br>
<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
</font></font>Firstly.... is there a way to turn debugging on???<br>
<blockquote>My only debug message is "<tt>msDrawMap(): Failed to draw
layer named 'ecw'.</tt>" Which is kind of obvious ;) ... <br>
</blockquote>
<font color="#000099"><font color="#000000">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
</font></font>Secondly... perhaps there is something wrong with my
layer definition (my other layers in this file work perfect)??? <br>
<blockquote><font color="#000099"><tt>LAYER<br>
NAME "ecw"<br>
DATA "/var/ecw/my.ecw"<br>
TYPE RASTER<br>
STATUS ON<br>
MINSCALE 00000.0<br>
MAXSCALE 1000000.0<br>
END</tt></font><br>
</blockquote>
<font color="#000099"><font color="#000000">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
</font></font>Thirdly, perhaps my "FGS" installation does not allow me
to read ecw????????<br>
<blockquote><big><font color="#000099"><small>azzabox:/opt/fgs#
./www/cgi-bin/mapserv -v</small></font><br>
<font color="#000099"><small>MapServer version 4.6.0-beta2 OUTPUT=GIF

INPUT=SHAPEFILE</small></font></big><br>
</blockquote>
<font color="#000099"><font color="#000000">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
</font></font>Finally, while I have you attention I know there are
several free and public datasources.... I have found some Landsat
available here: <a href="http://www.geotorrent.org/">http://www.geotorrent.org/</a>
and would welcome any further data sources!<br>

Many thanks in advance<br>
