[Mapserver-users] Tiling

Zamil -

I use tiled polygon layers all the time, with quite a few layers in a
single map.  

Is it possible for you to post your ENTIRE map file and the URL request
that generates the defective map?

Hi list,

Has anybody successfully rendered two tiled polygon layers on a single
map using mapserv 3.6.6 or above. Our versions currently only do the
first tiled layer and ignore everything below. An example .map file
would be great.

Thanks
Zamil

It most definetely is a tiling issue. I replaced the tile layers with a
DATA tags and everything shows up, that is cities and counties. When I
turn the tiles back on, then I get only the first layer as defined in my
.map file, whatever that may be, and not the second one.

Maybe you can pass this along to the mapserver developers to fix?
Thanks
Zamil

Let's start again, 
Here are my mapserv info:
MapServer version 4.0-beta1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG
OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT
=PDF OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS
_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=
OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Here is my two layer definitions:
LAYER
# fast file
  NAME "counties"
  DATA boarders/counties
  STATUS off
  TYPE POLYGON
  MAXSCALE 29
  CLASS
   OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
#   COLOR 84 247 168
  END
END
...and later on in the mapfile
LAYER
  NAME "twp"
  TILEINDEX us_data/townships/twptileindex
  STATUS off
  TYPE POLYGON
  MAXSCALE 29
#  MINSCALE 25
  CLASS
   OUTLINECOLOR 183 178 178
#OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0 
  END
END

If i keep it like this in the .map file then i get image1 (see
attached), if I switch the two layers around in the .map file then i get
image2 (see attached). What am i doing wrong. Both are the exact same
call to mapserv
(http://10.0.50.131/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&map=c:\mapfiles/test.ma
p&mapext=-109.05660+39.20555+-107.00299+41.13418&mapsize=723+679&layers=
counties+twp)

Can you think of anything?

Thanks
Zamil

Thanks
Zamil

Let's start here. What version are we talking about? There were some
changes (cosmetic, but still changes) in how shapefile access was
managed in 4.0 so if that's the version in question can someone verify
that tiled shapefiles work?

I'll forward the post to the list, someone else may be able
to help. I think more information on your setup will get
better input from the list.
