Ah, that's good that you solved the mystery of why that config.awd file
worked when there appeared to be no difference between that file and the
original.  The commented WKT mapping was added by Antonio de la Pena so we
have him to thank for this at least partially working for some of us. 

I'm glad to see Autodesk working on this issue....

I'm looking into this problem at the moment. Here's what I've found so
far:

The coordinate system conversions are failing because the web tier fails to
read the environment variable PROJ_LIB, which provides the location of the
coordinate system data files. (On my machine: C:\Program
Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\nad). This prevents the Proj4 libraries from
loading the data that allows them to convert EPSG codes into WKT.

On Apache this can be fixed by setting the environment variable in
httpd.conf. This can be achieved by adding:

SetEnv PROJ_LIB "C:\Program
Files\MapGuideOpenSource\WebServerExtensions\www\nad"

to the end of this file.

I am in the process of figuring out the equivalent fix for IIS. Once we have
that, the installers will be updated to add the required settings
automatically.

To solve another mystery...

The OgcWmsService.config.awd file that Andy has posted contains a mapping
from EPSG:4326 to a WKT string. In the XML, this mapping is commented out,
but there is a bug in the parser that means that it gets read anyway. When
this config file is used, the mapped WKT string is used directly, and no
attempt is made to determine a mapping using Proj4. That's why it works.

Chris.

Hi,

The attachment was stripped from the copy on your message posted to this
forum, which will prevent any newbie (such as me) who is researching
this
issue from solving it!

Is it possible that someone could either host the file and post the URL,
or
mail me a copy directly, and I'll host the file myself (copyright issues
permitting, of course).

Thanks

  /david
