[mapguide-internals] Re: Hard coded coordsys path for Linux

[Trevor Wekel]

I figured I would give a little update on the Linux builds.  I haven't checked any of this in yet but it is getting close (too much testing...):

1. I was able to remove the hardcoded path to /usr/local/mapguideopensource/share/gis/coordsys in CoordinateSystem/CoordSysEnvVariable.h and use environment variables instead.

2. The script that build Apache/Tomcat/Php "build_apt.sh" was an absolute mess.  It was out of date, didn't use the mapagent Apache module, and was incomplete for the Java/Tomcat setup.

3.  I was able to remove the Redirect for Java/Tomcat and replace it with a RewriteRule.  This keeps the browser URL intact for Apache/Tomcat setup.

4.  Installation into arbitrary directories on Linux should now be possible with appropriate "prefix" definitions.  


If anyone wants to do a code review of all this stuff before I check it into trunk, please let me know.

Regards,
Trevor

Hi Jackie,

The coordinate system catalog class does not have a static (thread safe) member to retain the path to the coordinate system libraries.  Ideally, it probably should.  But then we have to figure out where to call the method that initializes the static member.  Having the settings in serverconfig/webconfig.ini with initialization taking place in the server startup loop, agent initialization, and in InitializeWebTier should resolve this for MapGuide.

But who else is using CS-Map?  Will catalog initialization changes affect them?

It is a good idea but it sounds like a 2.3 RFC item to me.

Trevor
