[mapguide-users] mapguide_tile_seeder.html problems

Thanks Zac.

That just confirms that I've set things correctly already. I'm using data that is similar to the Redding sample. Same CS and bounds etc, but my own map.

The map just fails to load. I tried creating an LL84 version of the map and it loads, but doesn't center correctly. I can pan to get most of it in view so to me it's a coordinate system/extent issue.

Dave, r u using the standard redding mgp sample?

can you save the attached file is under
C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource2.0\WebServerExtensions\www\

and then call http://localhost:8008/mapguide/dumpmap.php?map=Library://Dave/Redding/ReddingTiled.MapDefinition

this dumps out the required configuration parameters...

it's not currently possible to write an ajax client without delving into the web api to extract the configuration params, grrr which is a pain

The bounds and coordinates all look good. The map just isn't loaded and I can't see a reason for it. It's not something silly like the path is wrong otherwise I'd be getting errors in the server error log.
