[mapguide-users] Problems with mapagent in Mapguide OS version 2 onubuntu?

[Andy Morsell]

I just got to the same point on CentOS 5 and am seeing the exact same
problems.  MapGuide Server starts successfully, PHP and Apache are working.
The PHP test page shows MapGuide API support.  I was also able to login to
mapadmin and  successfully load the Sheboygan package.  But, I cannot do
anything involving the mapagent including any of the operations from the web
tier tests and am prompted to download file type fcgi which looks to be
ascii.  When trying to connect to the site via Autodesk MapGuide Studio
2009, I get an "unexpected error in contacting site URL" error.

I concur that the problem looks like it is mapagent related and I am unsure
where to start trouble-shooting.  The big question is did mapagent not build
properly, or is there a configuration problem?

Jo, out of curiosity, did you find the configure / make / make install to
take an exorbitant amount of time?  I was finding that each step in my case
was taking about 6 hours.  I also ran into make problems the first time
through and ended up doing a build_oem.sh --clean and then restarting the
process.  After that, the install seemed to complete.

Hi,

I resolved earlier problems by completely rebuilding my MGOS installation
from scratch from the latest svn versions and it seemed to get all the way
through without failing. I have even managed to get the server to run, which
is a step forward. However, I am having problems with mapagent now, I think.

What I can do:
1: Connect to mapadmin and load a package
2: Check the basic pages to ensure apache is working
3: Get to the mapagent pages

What I can't do:
1: Connect using webstudio (times out) or mapguide studio (unexpected error
contacting site URL), or fusion (times out displaying the sample data)
2: Use mapagent in any way. When I try and use any of the options like "Get
Capabilities" I just get to download the mapagent.fcgi file, no xml
document. The same thing happens when I try to use "Enumerate Reosources"
from the URL as suggested in the documentation. If I try and open the fcgi
file (in case it's actually an xml file but mis-named) it's gobbledegook.

Neither the mgserver logs or apache logs appear to show anything wrong, but
I assume this is a problem with mapagent not building or running properly.
I'm not really sure how to find out though.

Any thoughts?

Jo
