[mapserver-dev] MapServer IDENT Error: First token must be MAP, this doesn't look like a mapfile

Sat Jun 13 09:41:07 EDT 2009

Thanks guys... now Chameleon is running...

But I have another issue... :( 

Now I'm trying to add a layer with the position of some gps devices... but this data are in a MS SQL Server Database, so, I'm trying to connect it via ODBC in a *.ovf file... but is not working a get an error...

Error : 

---------------

Error rendering map image :
a fatal error ocurred drawing the map.

---------------

My *.OVF file :

---------------

<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="cartracks">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:usr/pwd at webtrak</SrcDataSource>
        <SrcSQL>SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Guardar WHERE ID='53377'</SrcSQL>
        <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
        <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="Lon" y="Lat"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

---------------

My Mapfile call to the *.OVF file :

---------------

LAYER
    NAME "cartracks"
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POINT
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "cjwebtrak-ODBC-connection.ovf"
    DATA "cartracks"
    CLASS
       NAME "cartracks"
           STYLE
               SYMBOL 'star'
               SIZE 15
               COLOR 0 255 0
           END
    END
END

---------------

I need to know what part of the code is wrong?... or... how can I do that in a good way?

Also, I need to solve an issue, example : if Im Christian I can see just my car, so, how can I do that without use the *.OVF file? can I do it in another way?

Thanks...

Asunto: Re: [mapserver-dev] MapServer IDENT Error: First token must be MAP,this doesn't look like a mapfile

Symbol sets need a leading token for MapServer to consider them valid,
just like mapfiles. Simply 
add the keyword SYMBOLSET to the top of your symbols.sym file and
you'll get past the error
you're seeing. That change won't break with older versions of
MapServer, nor will adding the
leading MAP token in a mapfile.

Looking at your mapfile quickly I think you have a premature END right
after the line "TRANSPARENT FALSE".
It's not necessary. The closing END for the MAP tag is at the end of
the file.
