[Geomoose-users] GeoMoose for total neophytes

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

I have yet to try and set up 2.6 from start to finish, but some thing I would look for are:

There are multiple locations for projection and extents settings to be set.

Have you tested MapServer directly for grabbing images from?  Is it working to grab data directly, will mode=legend work for MapServer calls and actually make a legend?

Is any  of this out in the wild to test against?

Have you tried setting your extents wildly out of scope to get anything to print anywhere?  (I.E. -1000000, -1000000, 1000000, 10000000)

Hi Bob,

Nope, we're doing this in NY State Plane East on NAD83-- EPSG2905.  I have the projection files in the appropriate bins-- Firebug isn't throwing any exceptions looking for projections.

Would it be better to try to testbed things for learning purposes in Minnesota rather than try to change every extent and projection for upstate New York?  I have a ton of my own MN data to test with, but when you're just editing the mapbook, things seem pretty straightforward to alter, yet on anything but the demo, GM is quite borked.  I keep thinking I'm missing something fundamentally obvious that I'm just too ignorant to know is obvious...

Thanks!

Best,
Jason

First of all, are you using the same projection as the demo for your own data?

Hi all,

I've got GeoMoose installed on a Windows Server 2008 testbed and the demo working.  But every attempt at actually getting my own data in or changing the projection results in a pink screen.  I think I've got the mapbook.xml figured out (though sometimes how GeoMoose handles extent units confuses me) and I'm starting to get a grasp of how things are working, but I just can't get it to work!  I think if I get some success on any one issue, the rest of the problems will solve themselves, but I'm having trouble getting to that first success.  I know my way around GIS, but this is my first attempt at web-delivered data.

Help!

Best,
Jason
