AW: [Mapbender-users] HQ and/or large scale printing - possiblesolution for some problems

[Schönhammer, Herbert]

Hi all,

I want to confirm your mailing ;-)  (Okay the date of the mailing is August 2007!, but)

I just had some troubles printing DIN A0 PDF's with mapbender.

The last problem to solve: Increase the setting of default_socket_timeout in php.ini !

(Sometimes printing DIN A0 was okay. Sometimes only the frame (and overview and legend) was printed. But the map itself was empty. I observed, that printig DIN A0 was okay, if the filesize of the mapserver - generated png had less than e.g. 60MB (e.g. a black&white layer). If file size was greater than 60MB (e.g. a colored layer), the print failed ).


regards
Herbert
