[Geomoose-users] Multiple Mapbook.xml

[Kevin Grootendorst]

Hello,
I just wanted to close the loop on this discussion and share what resolved
my latest problem.
I had been having an issue with data not drawing properly in multiple
mapbooks

My secondary GeoMoose site featured data request URL's like this:
www.mysite.com/*geomoose*/FORMAT=image%2Fpng&MAP.....

But I needed it be more like this:
www.mysite.com/*cgi-bin/mapserv*?FORMAT=image%2Fpng&MAP....

So my broken URL was missing '*cgi-bin/mapserv'*
My secondary application points to a php file upon loading (
www.mysite.ca/geomoose/SecondarySite.php), which in turn points to a
settings ini file (settings_SecondarySite.ini)
The ini file is a copy of 'settings.ini' and was constructed following
documentation previously mentioned in this thread.
Anyways, my 'settings_SecondarySite.ini' points to the location of the
secondary mapbook (mapbook=mapbook_Secondary.xml).  It is in this file,
under the [paths] section, that I had to uncomment the mapserver_url and
provide the right location:

[paths]
server_name=localhost

; These are example settings, of note:
; Do NOT forget trailing "/" in the paths!
; PATHS SHOULD BE SETTING IN local_settings.ini

;root=/Users/ducky/Projects/GeoMOOSE/trunk/maps/
;mapserver_url=/mapserver/cgi-bin/mapserv
*mapserver_url=/cgi-bin/mapserv*
;temp=/tmp/out/

My secondary site now functions as expected, and my URLs are properly
constructed.
I hope this may help someone someday.
Cheers.

Kevin
