[mapguide-users] New configuration problems

Eric,

MapGuide Open Source is a brand new platform and this is a 1.0.0
release. Undoubtedly there are some bugs. However if you interact with
this list and log your bugs as defects using the Project Tracker tool,
we will get them fixed. As a community we are committed to making this
the best platform for creating web mapping applications. Only by working
with the community of users and application developers can we make this
happen.

Bob

Bill,

Thank you - that's pretty much what I did, and I'm now able to connect.

Now, it's just a matter of getting things to work!  Ha... 

I've played a bit with the Getting Started guide, things seem a bit
"buggy" :) - I'm a bit scared to even think of loading my parcel shape
file just based on issues with the small files supplied - I think mine
might send it to the grave.

However, if it can do what I hope it can - it'll be a great tool.

Any insight is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-- Eric

	Hi Eric,

	Here are some more detailed instructions.  These might help you
identify where it's going wrong.  During steps 2-7 you should not see
the word "Mapserver appear as part of a download or install.

	1.	Use the Windows "Add or Remove Programs" dialog to
remove the currently installed MapGuide Studio (or MapServer Studio). 
	2.	Go to this URL:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=6153839 
	3.	Scroll to the bottom of the page.  You should see a
picture of a Garmin device, and a paragraph with the heading "The
MapGuide Open" 
	4.	Just above that, there is link that reads:
StudioSetup.exe (exe - 125407 Kb).  Right click on it and download/save
it to your file system. 
	5.	In the Windows File Explorer, right-click on the
StudioSetup.exe file that you downloaded in step 4 and select
Properties.  The "Size:" should read: 126 MB (132,695,040 bytes) 
	6.	Now run the StudioSetup.exe that you downloaded in step
4. 
	7.	Confirm that the install was successful by opening the
Windows "Add or Remove Programs" dialog.  There should be an entry for
"Autodesk MapGuide (r) Studio Preview.  Click on it, and the "Click here
for support information" link will appear.  Click on that link and you
will see a text box indicating the version number.  It should read
1.0.0.16407. 

	Let me know how it goes,

	Bill

	Bill,

	Thanks - that's very strange.  Somehow I downloaded Mapserver
studio instead of Mapguide studio.  Perhaps I'm confused - I'm under the
impression that Mapguide Open Source server is really Mapserver.  At any
rate, I was somehow able to download Mapserver Studio (which has the
exact same size footprint and file name as Mapguide Studio).

	Please advise,

	-- Eric

		Hi Eric,

		The "version is incompatible" message probably means
that you have an old Studio.  A new one got posted last week to
www.autodesk.com/mapguidestudio with a version number of 1.0.0.16407
(you can use the Help About dialog to confirm the version). If you
download and install the new one, that should fix your problem

		Hi Eric,

		The mgp file itself is just a zip file containing all
the map resources. Sometimes Internet Explorer changes the extensions of
files it recognizes, so it likely renamed it to .zip when it downloaded
it. Just rename it to .mgp.

		As far as the Studio problem, let's wait for someone
else (who knows better) to answer that. But I am puzzled that you say
MapServer Studio... That's what the 0.9 version was called, the current
one should say MapGuide Studio when it starts up.

			All...

			Just downloaded MapGuide & Mapserver Studio.

			While the Admin appears to function fairly
properly - I can't connect from studio, receiving the following message:
"The Studio version is incompatible with the site version."

			Since I downloaded both files today my
assumption would be that all would be synched properly.

			Additionally, though I believe these may be
related based on other posts.. the sheboygan.mgp download file isn't a
.mgp but rather a .zip file doesn't include a  the sheboygan.mgp file.
And I've tried just putting the .zip file in the C:\Program
Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Packages folder to no avail, the admin
doesn't see a package.

			So.. I'm at somewhat of an impasse because I
can't get the demo apps to run because of no data, and I can't play with
the development tool due to a version conflict.

			Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

			-- Eric
