[Mapserver-users] Re: [maplab-users] Tutorial Raster Layer Using maplab-2.0-dev20030422 Not rendering

Wed Apr 23 11:18:49 PDT 2003

I just replaced mapscript 37 with mapscript 36. Should I use a different
one? Maplab Info shows...

  MapServer version 3.6.6-dev OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
  SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT        
  INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE                          

Still no raster layer rendered. Is there a file size limit? This tiff is
about 250MB.

John,

a couple of things.  First, maplab is not yet compatible with mapserver
37 so I am going to assume (hope) that the rendering issues are related
to that.

The other questions are more applicable to the mapserver-users mailing
list so I have copied it on this reply.  I would imagine that Frank
Warmerdam wrote the piece in the RASTER-HOW-TO since he is the GDAL
maintainer.

Cheers,

Paul
