[mapguide-users] Mr Sid problems in MGOS 2.0

[Jason Birch]

Hi George,

The instructions for 2.0 (and 2.0.1) are somewhat different than for
previous versions:

http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoGdalNotes#FDO3.3.0MapGuide2.0.0

You should not install gdal1.4.dll.  You should only need to install the
three MrSID plugin files.

However... If you're seeing the files opening, it may be that you're
running into the problem with the coordinate system being set to a value
other than that of the map, and may need to set a CS override in the
data connection for the raster data.  

Are there any exceptions in your mapguide error log?

Another possibility is that you're not in the right place when
previewing the data. I think that the raster provider in 1.2 may have
done a better job of reporting the extents of MrSID files.  This is just
a gut feeling though; I haven't taken the time to test/document the
problem.

Jason

Hello, I have one last issue (I hope) upgrading to 2.0 from 1.2. I can 
not get my Mr Sid files to render in MG 2.0.

I have installed the gdal1.4 dll and can see the files opening when 
running mgserver from a command window so I think I have the file paths 
correct. These sid files worked in MG 1.2.

I see a lot of discussion regarding sid files and connection handles, 
memory issues etc. but I do not think I am even getting that far!
