[Mapserver-users] shp2Img Segmentation Fault error with ArcSDE layer (mapserv Query )

Hi all,

Well, I'm making progress with building a version of the default demo app
using my layers in ArcSDE.  However, I have run into another problem that I
can not seem to find the answer to.

It has been described in the archives before but the thread in the archives
took a different branch than mine.  I have not been able to find out how to
resolve the branch that my problem has taken.


System Configuration:
---------------------

Machine:  IBM ThinkPad A31
Operating System: Linux Red Hat 9
Web Server: Apache (httpd-2.0.47)
PHP: 4.3.3 configured for CGI
GD: 2.0.15
PROJ: 4.4.7
Mapserver: 4.0
ArcSDEClient: 8.3

Mapserver Configuration: ./configure --with-sde=/usr/local/arcsde/sdeexe83
--with-sde-version=83 --with-gd=/usr/local --with-php=/usr/local/php-4.3.3
--with-proj=/usr/local


Problem Description:
--------------------

When trying to do a query from my web page against a layer based on a shape
file that came with the demo app the query works fine.   When trying to do a
query from my web page against a layer based on ArcSDE (Oracle) I get the
generic "Internal Server Error" message.  I believe everything is properly
duplicated in my demo.map file and my html files so that the ArcSDE based
query is the same as the shapefile based query.

In reviewing the apache server logs I see the "Premature end of script
headers" message.


Command Line Results:
---------------------

When I enter the mapserv call from the command line I get html for a web
page followed by a line that reads:  "Segmentation fault".  

Here is the actual command that I enter in the "htdocs/demoSNL3" directory
(which contains my application):

../../cgi-bin/mapserv 
QUERY_STRING="map=%2Fusr%2Flocal%2Fapache2%2Fhtdocs%2FdemoSNL3
%2Fdemo.map&layer=usboundaries&zoomsize=2&program=%2Fcgi-bin
%2Fmapserv&map_web_imagepath=%2Fusr%2Flocal%2Fapache
2%2Fhtdocs%2Ftmp%2F&map_web_imageurl=%2Ftmp%2F"

Here are the actual results that I get back:

Segmentation fault


Similar Post:

I found the following response to a similar post in the archives.  This, in
fact, does generate the same problem in my environment.  However, it is not
the problem in the archives so I could not find out what to do with this
problem!

Hi Matthew,

I had a similar problem and could find out what went wrong the shp2img 
program, that was compiled with mapserver. Run it on a shell with your 
mapfile (e.g. shp2img -m mapfile.map -o output.png) and see, if there 
are any errors. If yes, I think, that the same errors will happen using 
the mapserv CGI.

hth,

Bjoern.

Follow-up Command Line Results:
-------------------------------

When I enter the suggested command on my own system in the subdirectory
containing shp2img I get the "Segmentation fault" error again.  This is the
difference between my problem and the post referenced above.

Here is the actual command that I enter and the result:

./shp2img -m /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/demoSNL3/demo.map -o output.png
Segmentation fault

Help Requested:
---------------

Now that I have isolated the problem to shpimg, what is the next step in
resolving it?

Once again, your help is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Clay
