[mapguide-users] Connecting to Mapguide

[Tim Carr]

Under the display manager it says publish to mapguide. Then under the
tool button in that palette I click publish to mapguide. That is when it
asks for the address to publish to site... that is when I am unable to
do so. 

I guess what I should do is also lay down some ground work of what I am
trying to do. I have a collection of about 10 drawing with about 20,000
objects in each one. Each one of these objects have a stored value
called gis_id. That value is stored as XData. I then have a MDB that has
that gis_id. I need to be able to easily create a map in mapguide that
when you click on a object you can view that data that is stored in that
record. I don't know if there is a better or easier way to approach what
I am trying to do or not.

The only connection from the display manager in Map is to publish to
mapguide. Are you trying to connect from the Data Connection (FDO)
palette?

Ok, let me start out by saying I am very new to this and I feel
uneducated for even asking this. But I have a copy of MGOS installed
on
the laptop and was able to load the sample package fine and was able
to
view it. I am now using Map 2007 and trying to connect to the Mapguide
server that resides on the same lap top. When in the display manager
in
Map2007 it asked for the URL to connect to the site. When I type in
http://localhost:8008/ it will not connect. I have tried adding
Mapguide mapguide/admin and every combination that I can think of to
connect to it. I have also tried typing in the IP of the laptop with
the
same error of "failed to connect to site." If anyone could please try
and point me in the correct direction I would really appreciate it. I
have tried to read as much as I can about this and a lot of it seems
to
be above where my experience resides with this. I am trying to learn
but
I am still looking for places to read about the more elementary areas
of
the program since this is my first experience with Mapguide of any
version.
Thank you
