I would not say this WFS service does not support HTTP POST, as Mapserver was trying to POST to the index.html page of the main web server on this machine, and the web server complained about this not being allowed. But maybe the WFS service itself does support POST (if you get the correct URL). Another option would be to try and setup your own WFS server using Mapserver to play with it.

However if you compile/install PHP as an Apache DSO, then php_mapscript.so which is loaded by PHP is indirectly loaded into Apache. There are instructions to compile PHP as a DSO on the PHP website.

You should also test the wfs_server by manulally sending some requests to make sure that that the wfs responsd properly. Does the http://babyz.uni-muenster.de/wfs/WFS?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&Typename=WLIS_UTM32&&REQUEST=GetFeature returns something for you (I does not work for me but It might me an internal URL) ?

In-Reply-To: <20041201151133.84559.qmail@web25106.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Jose, I understand your frustration having gone through this not so long ago myself. Be sure to read all the previous threads on the subject as well. OK, from what I understand, there are a few things to check and pardon me if I am too verbose or do not have enough information on "why" these items are necessary. I am assuming you are using tomcat on some sort of U/Linux platform. 1) The java class that loads the mapscript library or the jar file that includes the class that loads the library must be in the /common/lib directory. for example: the jar file I is use - dswllc-mapscript.jar - that has the JavaMapscript.class (which is shown below and loads the mapscript library) is located in my /common/lib directory 2) As stated in previous threads, you *cannot* have the java class that loads the mapscript library in the /WEB-INF/classes directory. And you cannot have a jar file that includes the class that loads the library in the /WEB-INF/lib directory. for example: I could not place the above mentioned files in my /WEB-INF/lib or /WEB-INF/classes directories or I would get the "Library already loaded" error. 3) The mapscript.jar file created when compiling the java mapscript for Mapserver can also be in the /common/lib directory (if you want it available to all web apps under Tomcat), or in your /WEB-INF/lib directory. This is the jar file created when you run make in the /mapscript/java directory. Essentially once you run make in the /mapscript/java directory your should copy the mapscript.jar file to the /common/lib or your /WEB-INF/lib directory and the libmapscript.so file to a location the system knows to look for libraries - such as /usr/local/lib for example: In my configuration I copy the mapscript.jar file to my /common/lib directory and my libmapscript.so file to /usr/local/lib/special 4) You should set your environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the include the path the to libmapscript.so and/or edit your /etc/lib.so.conf file to include the path to the llibmapscript.so file - or just place it in a directory the system already knows to look for libraries - such as /usr/local/lib Hope that helps.

You need to use the GDAL link for reading rasters if you really want to do. Given your stated constraints of having to stick with 3.6.6 and not being able to re-compile with GDAL added to the mix, it seems you will have to reprocess your image externally into a form suitable for use with this version of mapserver. You can use the rgb2pct.py script distributed with GDAL to convert an RGB image to a pseudo-colored image you can use. However, I can't stress enough that it will be very difficult to get support from the community for a version of Mapserver as antique as 3.6.6.

Until recently, we were using Mapserver 3.6.6 to run our web applications. Now we installed a new web server with all new software, including Mapserver 4.2.5: MapServer version 4.2.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE We noticed an interesting problem with our applications: when we use some layer of type POLYGON which is filled with some kind of SYMBOL, this layer is not transparent. Here's an example snippet of a .map file (I omitted most of the layers for brevity): ------------------------------ CUT ------------------------------ NAME tartu SIZE 420 420 STATUS OFF IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255 IMAGETYPE JPEG EXTENT 6000 3000 15000 12000 UNITS METERS SHAPEPATH "/home/httpd/html/www.tartu.ee/mapserv/data" SYMBOLSET "/home/httpd/html/www.tartu.ee/mapserv/symbols/symbol.sym" FONTSET "/home/httpd/html/www.tartu.ee/mapserv/symbols/fonts.list" LAYER NAME krundipiirid TYPE POLYGON STATUS off DATA tartu_region CLASSITEM 'aadress' CLASS NAME 'Krundid' EXPRESSION /./ SYMBOL cross SIZE 4 OUTLINECOLOR 151 170 119 COLOR 235 255 211 END HEADER "krundipiirid_header.html" FOOTER "krundipiirid_footer.html" TEMPLATE "krundipiirid.html" END LAYER NAME T2000 GROUP pilt STATUS OFF TILEINDEX t2000 TYPE RASTER MAXSCALE 1500 MINSCALE 100 OFFSITE 255 255 255 END ------------------------------ CUT ------------------------------ Symbol cross is defined like this in the SYMBOLSET: ------------------------------ CUT ------------------------------ SYMBOL NAME "cross" TYPE vector POINTS 2 0 2 4 -99 -99 0 2 4 2 END END ------------------------------ CUT ------------------------------ Now, if we display both layers 'krundipiirid' and 'T2000' simultaneously, the objects in 'krundipiirid' layer completely cover the raster layer, whereas on our old server the raster could be seen through the objects in 'krundipiirid'. After a lot of hair-pulling, I noticed that this only happens if I specify IMAGETYPE JPEG. When specifying IMAGETYPE PNG (or not specifying IMAGETYPE at all), the layers behave as on our old server. In some cases, I could work around the problem by adding TRANSPARENCY to the polygon layer, but in some cases even this didn't help. I also tried briefly with Mapserver 4.4.0, but the behaviour seemed to be the same there. Since our .map files had other problems with 4.4.0, I went back to 4.2.5 for now. I am actually not an web/application developer but merely a server administrator, so I apologize in advance if I'm missing something blatantly obvious. I've been forced to deal with this since the developers are currently unreachable.

I am able to draw a symbol-filled polygon which transparently overlays the background. Add a TRANSPARENCY 50 to the 'POLYGON' layer in mapserver/tests/test.map and execute ../shp2img -m test.map -o xtest.jpg -I JPEG produces the proper image.

Nasir, I would suggest you review the documentation and then ask this question on the shapelib mailing list so as to not unnecessarily distract mapserver users. If you just want to run the shpdump command to get the extents then you would need to first build it. As per the README this would be accomplished on windows by running the VC++ VCVARS.BAT and then issuing the command "nmake /f makefile.vc". If you are unwilling to build stuff from source - don't have a compiler, etc, then I would strongly suggest you instead use OGR. The ogrinfo utility can report shapefile extents, field list and dumps of all the features using a command like "ogrinfo -al abc.shp | more". Pre-built OGR utilities are available as part of the FWTools kit. http://fwtools.maptools.org/ Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | Geospatial Programmer for Rent From agillesp at VT.EDU Thu Dec 2 06:58:27 2004 From: agillesp at VT.EDU (Abe Gillespie) Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2004 09:58:27 -0500 Subject: Shapefile field problem Message-ID: A good amount of fields aren't showing up in MapServer for me.

The shapefiles exist, names and paths are correct, the default firewall that XP sets up is disabled, and I have even given administrative rights to the IUSR_<> user, just in case. I get the same result, the same answer that MapServer gives when the files do not exist. Does anyone know if this is a known problem? Any ideas?

Where do feature priorities get tracked? Could we devise a voting system? As to splining, i am sure a true splining solution is not trivial, but what might be a reasonable solution is angled labels on the fly. A simple algorithm where when mapserver determines the location of a label, it fixes the center point there, determines the angle (there is a proper term for this?) of the associated line feature and then angles the label accordinly - this would simply replace the attribute-based angle calculation with a feature based calculation. Of course, in some cases, such as on very irregular shapes, this will result in some untoward results, but for some this might be a reasonable solution - LabelByLocalOrientation or some such method.

Stick with MapServer, you were getting very close. You have two layers in different projections, you need to set the projection that you want the output map to be in, and then within each layer, set the projection in which the data exists. There should be many examples of the use of projection in the list archives. David. David J.

I finally did the following: Created a shape file of all of my teacher points by their lat/long. Dropped the California zip code map on to my laptop and then the new teacher points file. I then used fGIS (http://www.digitalgrove.net/fgis.htm) and loaded the California zip layer and then my new teacher point layer.

Stick with MapServer, you were getting very close. You have two layers in different projections, you need to set the projection that you want the output map to be in, and then within each layer, set the projection in which the data exists. There should be many examples of the use of projection in the list archives. David. David J.

Abe, MapServer uses a highly modified variation of a very old version of shapelib which might have significantly different performance than the generic version. Note, there are good reasons for why Steve did this,and I would not suggest changing it. All that aside, I think you should accept that no one else has seen this problem, and submit a detailed bug report. If you need a prompt fix you could even motivate someone with money though I'm sure we will look into the problem if you can provide enough detail for us to reproduce the problem easiliy.

When I reach the point where there's nothing left but get this fixed I'll do so then. I never got an answer, can I simply post the problematic shapefile to the group? Is that user-group kosher? And here's a sneak peak at the site I'm developing. It is in current development so some things maybe broken, but it's working pretty good now (i.e. only the address search is working). I'm pretty proud of it and it's a testament to MapServer's power: http://141.152.79.120/ashe/ I'll make an official announcement when it's completed. And don't worry, I'll definitely get a MapServer logo link up when it goes public. :) Thanks. -Abe On Dec 2, 2004, at 12:27 PM, Frank Warmerdam wrote: > On Thu, 2 Dec 2004 12:39:46 -0500, Abe Gillespie > wrote: >> Like I said, I used ogrinfo and everything looked fine there.

Be sure that the IUSR account has read access to that particular file; I think permission settings are the most common cause of problems when migrating from one machine to another "identical" one. Separately, it might not be the best idea to store your shapefiles in the wwwroot tree if you want to protect them from being accessed outside of MapServer.

The shapefiles exist, names and paths are correct, the default firewall that XP sets up is disabled, and I have even given administrative rights to the IUSR_<> user, just in case.

I finally did the following: Created a shape file of all of my teacher points by their lat/long. Dropped the California zip code map on to my laptop and then the new teacher points file. I then used fGIS (http://www.digitalgrove.net/fgis.htm) and loaded the California zip layer and then my new teacher point layer. I can zoom to the zip layer but when I zoom to the point layer it is way far away from the zip layer. I did this as a sanity check because I did not think that I was even producing the teacher point layer. The questions are: If I create a point shape file based upon lat/lon and I have the California zip file - why will one not lie over the other - are they not both based upon lat/long? Can I open my teacher dbf file, and go search for the zip in the California zip file and then rebuild the teacher point file with coordinates from the California zip file thus allowing me to place my points in the zip polygon that they belong to? In my California shape file on a dump I get: ( 5983045.379, 3224996.563, 0, 0) ( 5989542.292, 3224832.974, 0, 0) ( 5989921.623, 3224823.475, 0, 0) ( 5989953.049, 3224815.898, 0, 0) ( 5990112.487, 3224777.458, 0, 0) ( 5991452.255, 3224753.633, 0, 0) ( 5993483.853, 3224717.643, 0, 0) ( 5993800.929, 3224702.331, 0, 0) ( 6011910.153, 3224087.577, 0, 0) ( 6017051.977, 3223915.448, 0, 0) ( 6026300.989, 3223711.249, 0, 0) ( 6026888.615, 3222812.493, 0, 0) What do these values mean - are they lat/long values?

What you could do is, if the data you're fetching is available as OGC:WFS, is use MapServer as a WFS client and apply the filter at the mapfile (or dynamically generated) level and assume the same rendering as per mapfile. There's most certainly a few more ways to make this happen; the above is using OGC approaches. ..Tom -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of John Fletcher Sent: Thursday, 02 December, 2004 13:30 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] SLD Filter Using Default Mapfile Rendering Is there some way to filter the features drawn by Mapserver without having to send rendering information in the SLD?

In-Reply-To: <419E2900.9090601@gmx.net> Message-ID: Group: Anyone making movies with Mapserv? I'd like to string a 1000 or so images generated into an AVI, say display a jpeg every N seconds. I can easily make script in php to generate the images, i'm looking for a "library" that allows me to string images together and make a movie type format. Preferrably something free and standard - really hoping for MPEG/AVI. For example the guys who talked at MUM2 about GOMOS might want to look at changes in water over a month. A viewer to string images together would be nice. Anyone using a tool with php or perl to do that? I'm thinking like something below - I'm not nec married to avi could be some other video type; nor am I married to JPEG's below could be png, gif something mapserver renderable #!/usr/bin/perl use AVI; # fictious and hopeful as are all avi calls below avi_file = AVI::create("my_first_action_video.avi"); open(FILE_PIPE, "ls -l width==1 *.jpg |"); while() { chomp(); avi->add_image($_); avi->show_image_for(2); # set delay 2 seconds } close(FILE_PIPE); avi->close(); Steven Lehr Assistant Professor Freshmen Program College of Engineering Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (LB159) 600 S.

I use mapserver html template to test my services. It's not query mode but simple GetMap requests. One weird thing I saw with some testing : If I ask for two layers, a raster and an oracle spatial one by example, all work fine and I get an image! If I ask ONLY for oracle spatial layers (1 or more), I get the CGI error message... So I think the problem is not really the connection cause the layer(s) appear when it's not alone and with another type of Data. Calling mapserver directly with the usual parameter gives the same result. What's wrong with this? If anybody could help me solve this... What's FastCGI ?

This error didin't occured here, if you will look the source code this message appear only when the mapserver didn't connected the Oracle. So, are you tried with FastCGI support? How are you call the mapserver (CGI)? Is it query mode?

I'm a little confused on whether this is simple or not . My confusion comes from the wms_onlineresource metadata specified in the MAP file. I have always thought this was required, but I now see that it's actually "Recommended" in the OGC specs. I can easily restrict access to the resource using Basic Authentication through my Web server - that's not my question. Since I'm trying to set this up for general end-user access, I don't want to have to create a unique set of MAP files, each with a unique username/password in the wms_onlineresource field, one set of MAP files for each user. I'd like to simply manage the user authentication to a single set of services/MAP files. Can I do this? Can I simply omit the wms_onlineresource field in the metadata and trust the client to remember the URL root including username/password? I don't have a lot of experience with different WMS clients, so I'm worried that some will work and some won't. However, if the wms_onlineresource field is really not required, maybe I'm worrying about nothing.

For Python you will need to build the mapscript module using the system's python program, and it will also require that there is a C compiler on board. This will also be true for Perl or Ruby.

That's a really good idea - one I hadn't considered. The only problem is that I need to be able to apply a filter dynamically through the CGI interface (I'm assuming Mapserver doesn't expose any CGI interface to access the filter for WFS layers). Has there ever been talk of the implementation of a DefaultSymbolizer in the SLD spec that would do this sort of thing? I suppose the SLD spec could also just recommend a default action for a WMS to take if no Symbolizer is present. Of course, I could just be exposing my ignorance of the whole subject...

Here is how I have assumed it works. My client goes to a remote WMS layer and first asks for the layer in the projection of the client, if it doesnt support that it looks through the SRS tags of the WMS layer and finds the first one that it understands, by understands I mean thats included in my EPSG file, requests the image and my mapserver reprojects it to the projection my client is using. Thats what I thought, but using a WMS layer has drawn this into question, so is this true or not? Here is what has brought up the problem. I have two clients. One is in a projection of 4326 and another 42304 (LCC Canada). When I load a specific WMS layer it works in 4326, but would not work in 42304. Here is the SRS info from the remote WMS layer: EPSG:102190 EPSG:42102 EPSG:3005 EPSG:4269 EPSG:4326 EPSG:26708 EPSG:26709 EPSG:26710 EPSG:26711 EPSG:26712 EPSG:26908 EPSG:26909 EPSG:26910 EPSG:26911 EPSG:26912 EPSG:32608 EPSG:32609 EPSG:32610 EPSG:32611 EPSG:32612 In my thinking since I have a number of these in my EPSG file, specifically 4326, than I should have no problem loaded the WMS layer into my client, regardless of what projection my client was using. In order to get this to work in both of my clients I had to add a new projection to my EPSG file. 102190 is BC Albers 42102 projection. As 102190 was the projection listed in the bounding box tag, I simply copied the 42102 and put a new one into my EPSG file with the number 102190. Works fine now. While this is working for me, I dont think its really a good solution as I cant be adding new entries to my EPSG file for every WMS layer my users may want to load. Sorry for this being long, but I really wanted to give all the details. How this has worked out has made me think my prior beliefs to how projections with remote WMS layers worked are wrong. So my question is, how do they work if they dont work the way I thought they did?

Could you explain the data flow a little more clearly? You say that your "client" requests a "remote" layer and asks for it in its desired projection, and if it can't get it, then "my mapserver" somehow appears to reproject it and save the day . Where did your mapserver come from? Is it always there, acting as a WMS client to the "remote WMS layer"? What application is your "client"?

The configuration of IIS is a bit confusing, and I haven't figured out the problem yet. Only thing you could check is to make sure that you got your execution permissions set up correctly. You may have to add your mapserver executable to the pool of programs that is allowed to run on the server, and then also specify for each directory that mapserver is allowed to run in there (it's kind of doubled-up in IIS). Aside from that it's still a mystery to me. I use the a similar configuration on win2k without problems. XP and 2003 server have a different configuration. Specifying IUSR permissions does not seem to suffice. I would suggest you make your shapepath absolute, though. To make sure there is no confusion about relativity to the webroot, or the executable path. Jacob P.S. be aware of the 10 user connection limit with IIS, on a non-server version of windows. May be better of using apache. -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Ed McNierney Sent: 3 December 2004 02:04 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Win XP and paths in the .map file You are right in thinking that this is probably a permissions problem. Be sure that the IUSR account has read access to that particular file; I think permission settings are the most common cause of problems when migrating from one machine to another "identical" one. Separately, it might not be the best idea to store your shapefiles in the wwwroot tree if you want to protect them from being accessed outside of MapServer.

I get the same result, the same answer that MapServer gives when the files do not exist. Does anyone know if this is a known problem? Any ideas?

You might want to ask on the Chameleon user list, after checking the archives first - this may be a Chameleon question/issue. To give you a MapServer answer, each layer in your MAP file will have a projection defined - either explicitly (preferred) or inherited from the overall MAP file. For WMS layers, you can specify a list of projections - any projections that are supported by the WMS server you're talking to. MapServer will generate its OUTPUT image using either the MAP file projection (in "MapServer" mode) or the SRS parameter passed to it if it's acting as a WMS server itself. I've never tried it with EPSG codes I don't have installed, but I believe that if you list a series of EPSG codes in the "wms_srs" metadata for the WMS client layer, MapServer will select (a) the projection that matches its own output projection if available, or (b) the first projection it understands. I always make sure I only list projections I know I have installed, so I'm not certain about that. I'm not a Chameleon user, but it sounds like you should be expecting the Chameleon client to make a WMS request to the local MapServer, specifying the SRS requested as 42304. MapServer needs to know what projections the remote WMS server supports, and you need to tell it that through the wms_srs parameter for that layer. Simply looking at the capabilities document yourself and seeing that a familiar projection is listed will not help MapServer know that; make sure that 4326 is listed in the wms_srs field for that layer in the MAP file. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: +1 978 251-4242 Fax: +1 978 251-1396 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Ken Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 7:59 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Need help with WMS and Projections Sorry, let me expand a bit on my setup.

The configuration of IIS is a bit confusing, and I haven't figured out the problem yet. Only thing you could check is to make sure that you got your execution permissions set up correctly. You may have to add your mapserver executable to the pool of programs that is allowed to run on the server, and then also specify for each directory that mapserver is allowed to run in there (it's kind of doubled-up in IIS). Aside from that it's still a mystery to me. I use the a similar configuration on win2k without problems. XP and 2003 server have a different configuration. Specifying IUSR permissions does not seem to suffice. I would suggest you make your shapepath absolute, though. To make sure there is no confusion about relativity to the webroot, or the executable path. Jacob P.S. be aware of the 10 user connection limit with IIS, on a non-server version of windows. May be better of using apache. -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Ed McNierney Sent: 3 December 2004 02:04 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Win XP and paths in the .map file You are right in thinking that this is probably a permissions problem. Be sure that the IUSR account has read access to that particular file; I think permission settings are the most common cause of problems when migrating from one machine to another "identical" one. Separately, it might not be the best idea to store your shapefiles in the wwwroot tree if you want to protect them from being accessed outside of MapServer.

I have copied my application to Windows XP SP2 and configured all the permissions, etc. as I did on Windows 2K, and now it seems that MapServer is unable to read the paths from in the .map file. The .map file contents are: NAME satgeobase SHAPEPATH "shapefiles/satgeobase" UNITS meters IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255 TRANSPARENT ON SYMBOLSET symbols/symbols.sym LAYER DEBUG on NAME countries TYPE polygon STATUS ON DATA "cntry98" CLASS NAME "Country outline" COLOR 255 255 255 OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 0 END END END If I type the following line in Internet Explorer: http://127.0.0.1/mapserver/mapserv.exe? map=c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\satgeobase.map&mode=map&layer=countries&imgsize=8 00+ 400&mapext=-180+90+180+-90 Map Server returns: msDrawMap(): Image handling error.

(c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\shapefiles\satgeobase\cntry98) I have tried to use double backslash, double forwardslash and many combinations, but it seems that MapServer.exe cannot find the shape files. The shapefiles exist, names and paths are correct, the default firewall that XP sets up is disabled, and I have even given administrative rights to the IUSR_<> user, just in case. I get the same result, the same answer that MapServer gives when the files do not exist. Does anyone know if this is a known problem? Any ideas?

If I ask for one oracle spatial layer, I got the error each time and instantly. If I ask for an other type of layer than oracle spatial, all work fine. If I ask for mixed type of layers with oracle spatial included, it become complicated...it seems that the order of the layers in the mapfile have an effect; if the first layer found (and asked) in the mapfile is oracle spatial, it get an error. If it's a raster or something else, it works most of the time. I ran FileMon to see if this is a permission or file not found issue and it's not. I checked IIS log file and when I get an error, the http status code is 502: 2004-12-03 15:43:00 131.235.233.138 131.235.233.138 80 GET /cgi-bin/mapserv.exe 502 0 391 - When this happens, the sc-bytes number is always 391 I searched for the meaning of http 502 and found this from the w3c.org website: Service temporarily overloaded 502 (TO BE DISCUSSED) The server cannot process the request due to a high load (whether HTTP servicing or other requests). The implication is that this is a temporary condition which maybe alleviated at other times. OR 502 Bad Gateway The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request. First I thought that the reason is because my dev workstation is inside our firewall and Oracle Database is outside...but I tested with an Oracle database inside our firewall and the result is the same. When I shift to previous version (4.3 with oracle spatial downloaded from maptools.org) all work fine. Now I'm lost...

It could be very likely that my binaries are borked with respect to Oracle Spatial. My binaries are *not* compiled with FastCGI support, and Fernando might be able to comment more about its current relationship to Oracle Spatial support. The cvs log shows a significant change to maporaclespatial.c right at 4.4 beta 1. Things have very likely changed significantly since the 4.3 binaries you were using were made. As for my binaries, I only really use the SDE support, which seems to be working fine. My guess is that something is funky in my binaries, or you've run into some sort of bug. Any chance you can use shp2img.exe to test your mapfile and attach the msvc debugger to the process?

It should mean that your MapServer isn't built with GDAL input support (ie. configured --with-gdal) but you have made some sort of request that makes MapServer thing the input raster needs to be reprojected, or rotated to satisfy the map request. This is only supported via data read through GDAL in MapServer.

It could be very likely that my binaries are borked with respect to Oracle Spatial. My binaries are *not* compiled with FastCGI support, and Fernando might be able to comment more about its current relationship to Oracle Spatial support. The cvs log shows a significant change to maporaclespatial.c right at 4.4 beta 1. Things have very likely changed significantly since the 4.3 binaries you were using were made. As for my binaries, I only really use the SDE support, which seems to be working fine. My guess is that something is funky in my binaries, or you've run into some sort of bug. Any chance you can use shp2img.exe to test your mapfile and attach the msvc debugger to the process?

When I try panning, everything works fine the first time I move my map. The second (and subsequent) attempts fail. When I try to pan, the map jumps to what seems like a random place. I am having similar problems trying to zoom in on my map. It seems like the problem might be with imgxy or imgbox, but I can't figure out where the disconnect is. I am not sure if something needs to be reset since I am not re-submitting the page. Can anybody offer any suggestions?

I have not yet begun to work with query layers, but my understanding is that they are primarily defined through the map file (which is why I chose this list-serv). Several people have mentioned that also running Chameleon complicates defining the query layers. I will forward any answers to Carola. Thank you very much for your time! Jennifer Zeisloft Question: I am currently using Chameleon to develop my web mapping application. In order to perform a query on a point type layer using the identify feature tool, I needed to add an additional layer (query type) in the map file. The first layer shows the points in the map and the second one is used to perform the query. The query works perfectly, but the problem is that both layers appear on the legend. Is there a way to delete the query layer from the legend or, even better, use only one layer in the map file that would perform the query and show the point layer in the legend.

Here's my case: The SLD spec suggests that the Symbolizer element is optional inside a Rule, but doesn't specify what the behaviour should be if no Symbolizer is specified. Currently Mapserver does not draw features if there is no Symbolizer present. While this can be a handy method of filtering out features that you *don't* want displayed, you can accomplish the same thing by making sure these features don't have any matching Rules (according to the Filter). If Mapserver interpreted a Rule with no associated Symbolizer elements as an instruction to draw all features matching the Filter in the default rendering specified in the mapfile, a client could filter out unwanted features without needing to know anything about how the layer is styled in the mapfile. This becomes extremely useful in cases where the mapfile defines upwards of 40 classes with different rendering based on the value of a particular attribute. In addition, "highlighting" certain features could be accomplished by sending an SLD with an appropriate Filter and "highlight" rendering specified (yellow, bright blue a la ArcMap, etc), then just putting in another Rule with an ElseFilter and no Symbolizer: FIELD_NAME FIELD_VALUE circle #00ffff 4.0 Does anyone have thoughts on the matter?

Any help is appreciated. Dan, The arguments to EXTENT are xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax. But your "ymax" value is smaller than your "ymin" value. MapServer 4.4 does more extent validation then used to be done.

My suggestions below refer to editing the mapserver mapfile.... Are you using the duplicate layer so that you can query a layer when it is not turned on? If you only need to query the layer when the layer is on, then you only need the original point layer. (unless chameleon changes how this is handled) However, If you do want to be able to query the layer when it is not turned on, then I think that when you copied the original layer in the mapfile, you may have left it as TYPE POINT, instead of setting it to TYPE QUERY. If that doesnt help, remove the NAME attribute from each of the classes in the query layer. Hope that helps, Ken Lord Vancouver BC On Fri, 3 Dec 2004 13:47:15 -0600, Jennifer Zeisloft wrote: > Hello All, > > This question was sent to me by a colleague, Carola, who requested > that I post it to the list-serv.

Are you keeping track of that on the client? When you request a whole new pae, mapserver calculates the new map extent and usually you save that in hidden variables on the page. Then use that extent, combined with user-input pixels coordinates to request the next map. However, when you image swap, you need to calculate and keep track of the map extent on the client side.

If I know it, then I use imgext to request the map with that particular extent. But in my case I only know the center point (geocoded address), the scale and the image width/height. These are my inputs. Mapserver calculates the extent when drawing the map. How can I ask Mapserver to return this extent (coordinates of bottom-right and top-left of the map) besides returning the rendered image? So my input is: center lat/lon; scale; width/height pixels of map Current output: 1) image Desired output: 1) image and 2) bottom-right/top-left coordinates Thomas Siki Zoltan wrote: Hi, Check imgext cgi variable.

The unit testing framework works by importing mapscript from python/tests/cases/testing.py. You can look in that file to see how it is done. To diagnose if the framework is failing, cd to python/tests/cases and try this: $ python >>> from testing import mapscript >>> mapscript.MS_VERSION '4.4.0' 4.4.0 is what I get.

Are you keeping track of that on the client? When you request a whole new pae, mapserver calculates the new map extent and usually you save that in hidden variables on the page. Then use that extent, combined with user-input pixels coordinates to request the next map. However, when you image swap, you need to calculate and keep track of the map extent on the client side.

If I know it, then I use imgext to request the map with that particular extent. But in my case I only know the center point (geocoded address), the scale and the image width/height. These are my inputs. Mapserver calculates the extent when drawing the map.

You may also want to consider writing a custom PHP extension since the shapelib API is fairly simple. See the file README.EXT_SKEL in the PHP source package about building PHP extensions. BTW, did you know that the PHP MapScript extension already includes the shapeFileObj class that allows you to do simple things with shapefiles? You should probably look at that before reinventing the wheel.

MapServer doesn't do any check in the EPSG list to find out if it supports a given projection or not. It's realy up to you to list the SRSes that both your local server and the remote WMS server supports in the WMS client layer's wms_srs metadata and that's what drives everything. In your case, the LAYER should look like this: LAYER CONNECTIONTYPE WMS CONNECTION "http://some.wms.tld/path/to/thewms?" ... METADATA ... "wms_srs" "EPSG:102190 EPSG:42102 EPSG:3005 EPSG:4269 EPSG:4326 EPSG:26708 EPSG:26709 EPSG:26710 EPSG:26711 EPSG:26712 EPSG:26908 EPSG:26909 EPSG:26910 EPSG:26911 EPSG:26912 EPSG:32608 EPSG:32609 EPSG:32610 EPSG:32611 EPSG:32612" ... END END If EPSG:102190 was not in your epsg file (it is not there by default) then you should either not include it in the wms_srs metadata, or add it to your local epsg file.

I am loading up a context document and displaying some of its layers into an existing map object. I go through the layers in the context document and allow the user to select only the ones they want. It loads them fine, but the projection of the layer from the context document is off. I have tried reprojecting (using setprojection) the entire context map object and the layer object, both without any luck.

You want to be sure that (MAXX - MINX) / WIDTH = (MAXY - MINY) / HEIGHT so the width and height of the ground area (in degrees) are proportional to the width and height of the image (in pixels). In the example you give, you want (-67 - (-125.3556)) / 449 = (49.5 - 10) / 349 (I'm guessing on the order of the width and height). That's not an equality, since it computes to: 0.129968 = 0.138968 You want to change either the extents or the image size. Once you've done that, you simply divide the width in degrees by the width in pixels to get "degrees per pixel" or DPP: that is, DPP = (MAXX - MINX) / WIDTH. Then the pixel at horizontal coordinate X will have an X-coordinate (longitude) of MINX + (X * DPP), and you do the same thing for Y. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Todd Birkenholtz Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 3:22 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Formula for converting pixels to long lat points Formula for converting pixels to long lat points After I create a static image using the EXTENT -125.3556 10 -67 49.5 Mapserver creates a image that is 449x349 pixels I would like to use a ismap to reference the x,y points on my image and then pass that information to a second web app that will convert the pixel X,Y to long, Lat points.

My guess is that executeWFSGetfeature() fails because your layer is not a WFS layer but a POSTGIS layer. I think it would quite difficult to duplicate Mapserver's WFS handling utilizing PHP and PHP Mapscript. I would suggest adding you POSTGIS layer to your map file which would make it very easy to serve as either a WMS or WFS layer. The dynamic part of your SQL query could go into a FILTER section. E.g. FILTER "date_field = %date_part% and location_field = %loc_part and onedrain.stn_num = g_stations.stn_num" The WFS requests then just need to add: &date_part=XXXXX&loc_part=NNNNN See the section on map file variable substitution in http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html Eric From bigfoot at MAIN-TASK.COM Tue Dec 7 06:58:55 2004 From: bigfoot at MAIN-TASK.COM (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Vladimir_Guzm=E1n?=) Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2004 09:58:55 -0500 Subject: ENC: using mapserver with php 5 as an apache dso In-Reply-To: <000301c4dbde$e06318f0$1364a8c0@parapente> Message-ID: Murilo Lacerda Yoshida wrote: > Hi all, > > I am planning to update mapserver and php on my web server, and I was >wondering if someone did this earlier and experienced some problems. > I guess that with mapserver I won't have many (any) problems, because >you have said that you have tested it a lot.

I'm working on MapServer 4.2 and using the jBox applet for drawing the zoom rectangle. And it works fine for the zoom in. But when i tryed to fine tune it with the boxoff method of jBox, it doesn't work. If i write a code into javascript function like: document.frmtroutmap.jBox.boxoff(); and then call this function onclick event of Zoom out radio button, i get the error as: document.frmtroutmap.jBox is null or not an object Also, while writing the javascript code(i'm using front page for editing html code), i didn't get the list of jBox methods in the dropdown to select. And if i write that line of code, i get above error. Any sugeswstions whats goin wrong with it?

The Apache error log says: "[Mon Dec 06 07:13:04 2004] [error] [client 172.16.20.4] Premature end of script headers: mapserv" I compiled MapServer with --enable-debug, set "DEBUG TRUE" in the map section of the mapfile, and tried to use shp2img with these results: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root at redhat cs]# /dati/geobase/bin/shp2img -m cs.map -o /dati/daniele.png -e 2491361 4510665 2492415 4511455 [Mon Dec 6 07:24:37 2004].748031 msDrawMap(): Layer 0 (Confini_comunali), 0.040s [Mon Dec 6 07:24:41 2004].893212 msDrawMap(): Layer 1 (Base_cartografica), 4.145s [Mon Dec 6 07:24:41 2004].908452 msDrawMap(): Layer 2 (Edifici), 0.015s [Mon Dec 6 07:24:41 2004].918383 msDrawMap(): Layer 3 (Aree_traffico), 0.010s Segmentation fault ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root at redhat cs]# /dati/geobase/bin/shp2img -m cs.map -o /dati/daniele.png -e 2491361 4510665 2492415 4511455 -l Elementi_stradali Segmentation fault ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When shp2img processes the "bad" layer ('Elementi_stradali'), it exits with a 'Segmentation fault' and without a more explicit error message.

Some hosting agreements don't allow you to run your own database for example. Check the versions of tools available to you too. You don't want to find out that the wrong version of compiler is available or that SWIG is not installed for example.

I can use other techniques in the meantime. I'm not sure I understand the fix you recommend. If I have a result set, say 30 records out of 48000. How would I display only those without the query mechanism? I can't use a filter because the set may be the result of a spatial query. I can't generate shapefiles because I routinely save and load query files, allowing me to refine my selection sets and this wouldn't be possible if I created entirely new shapefiles.

When things don't show up it is usually a misconfiguration in the mapfile. If you get the mapfile syntax wrong you'll get an error but if you get something like PROJECTION,UNITS, etc wrong you get nothing. The first step in debugging why a raster doesn't show up is to make sure you know what it's projection is and make sure your map file represents it. The Raster Data how-to actually has some nuggets in it: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/raster-howto.html Finally mapserver will do this a lot and it's always because you've done something wrong so you need to get to the point where you can check each of your layers independently. When this happens to me I try to display each layer separately to make sure that part works then put them into a single map file. You can use the mapserver CGI in mode=map map to quickly and easily load mapfiles with different layers and see if they work or don't. The key is to come up with ways you can diagnose your problem.

My qlayer specified a layer GROUP name rather a layer NAME value. By chance I tried the actual layer NAME value and the locate feature worked. Can someone confirm that this call/function needs a qlayer value based on a NAME value rather than a GROUP value. Secondly, now that the function is returning the selected feature, none of the other features specified as layers to be drawn are being displayed. Is this for the same reason ? Does all layer input for commands like this have to be by name rather than group ?

I don't know how other clients are implemented, but I wouldn't be surprised if many other WMS clients would have used the same strategy. We could potentially enhance MapServer to try to be smart and pick the projection from the wms_srs list that would create the least distortion when warping the image it gets from the remote WMS, but that could be very complex to implement and result in lots of overhead at runtime so I'm not even sure if that's a good idea.

You're right, I forgot the darned template tag. That gets me a lot. Well geez, I swear I've had worse problems with this. Just can't seem to get it right now. Maybe I'll come across something more concrete as I continue on this project. Anyways, would the way you iterate through the fields be considered a "work around." I.e.: should the fields of the values array be able to be iterated via either method?

So the link between the spatial object and the attribute is simply sequential. I don't think it makes use of bounding rectangles (except if you create a spatial index, correct me if I'm wrong). If you are able to open up the DBF file in Excel, you will see it's just a table. The .shp and .shx file hold the spatial component for each row. Hope this is what you meant.

Therefore, if you saved this ASP code in the root of your Web directory and named it "default.asp" as he suggests, you could use either: http://www.mymapserver.com/default.asp OR http://www.mymapserver.com As your online resource URL.

I have undertaken the following steps 1. Created a multipoint shapefile 2. Loaded the multipoint shapefile into PostGIS as a MULTIPOINT table 3. Read and displayed the shapefile into MapServer as a point layer 4. Read and displayed the PostGIS MULTIPOINT table into MapServer as a point layer 5. Accessed the multipoint shapefile layer via WFS and successfully received back Multipoint GML BUT 6. when accessing the multipoint PostGIS layer via WFS, the GML returned was NOT Multipoint GML. It returned only the first point in each section of data as a single point entry , so that most of the data was missing from the WFS output (even though it all displayed ok when visualised in MapServer).

But you should realize that shpae files in the group may have different attribute table (eg. dbf). It is not neccessary to have the save table structure for all layers in the group, that is way I think query can't work for groups. One trick I used, to add template to all layers in the group. If the table structure is the same for all layers in the group than you can use the same template. mode=query will use the top most layer at the given position.

This what I needed. And this allowed me to confirm that the raster alone was not showing up. The problem's origin was in folder persmissions (chmod o+w solved the problem !) Thanks again for the tip. For MS developpers, just one small note related to that : even with --enable-debug i had no error message on the browser or in the Apache log. May be a log warning "can't access the raster file" would be of some help. I think i remember that this kind of problem on shp files produces an error output (my memory can be wrong) So thanks for the help, and thanks to MS developpers for such a beast ! D. From floerke at DOCTRONIC.DE Wed Dec 8 01:55:11 2004 From: floerke at DOCTRONIC.DE (Holger Floerke) Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 03:55:11 -0600 Subject: Setting classindex of shape instances in MapScript Message-ID: Hi there, under which circumstances I can set the "classindex" attribute of a shape instance from MapScript? I tried to open an existing layer (from the mapfile definitions) with open, iterate over the shapes (getShape) and use the shape->set("classindex",x) method to dynamically assign a class (generated bythe script) to this shape. After closing the layer the assignments are lost. The shapes do not show the assigned styles and retrieving the shape again after the close-method shows the old value. After that dilemma I create a layer with MapScript, open the shape-file with ShapeFileObj, iterate over the shapes, assings the "classindex"-attribute and push the onto the layer with "addFeature". That works, but I can't retrieve the associated values of the shape without manually openign the dbf-file. The goal is the color the shapes with the result of a complex computation. I tried to add the results as a value to the shapes and let the expression of the ClassObj choose the class, but I couldn't dynamically add some values to the shapes of a layer with a datafile assigned. Any ideas?

I recommend the second approach for your application. There is at least one bug in shapeObj.draw -- it does not honor the transparency of the specified layer, but it will work. In the development version I have recently added a few default values to newly created shapes and a shapeObj::setValue method that can be used to allow labeling of inline features, but this feature won't be released soon. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From mandhare at STATE.PA.US Wed Dec 8 06:44:09 2004 From: mandhare at STATE.PA.US (Andhare, Manjiri) Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 09:44:09 -0500 Subject: jBox.boxoff() Message-ID: No!!

You have existing data in some projected coordinate system, and you want to produce a shapefile in the same coordinate system from latlong input points. You won't get anywhere till you figure out what coordinate system you are working with. Likely some sort of state plane feet coordinate system though the distances look awfully large and suggest to me that data is outside the normal area of use of the coordinate system. Once you know the coordinate system you could use the ogr2ogr utility to reproject your lat/long shapefile to the target coordinate system specified using PROJ.4 syntax. eg. ogr2ogr -s_srs WGS84 -t_srs '+proj=...' out.shp in.shp If you just want to use the data in MapServer you don't actually have to reproject the data ahead of time, though it might be a good idea. But you do need to properly declare your coordinate system of which there are many thousands of frequently used ones in the world. Till you know the details of your coordinate system you really don't know anything about what the x/y coordinate values mean.

If you can't do that, then you will need to reproject your lat/lon data, but if that's the case it's a limitation of the software or the user, not a limitation of shapefiles. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Norris [mailto:sirronj at pacbell.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 11:54 AM To: Ed McNierney; MAPSERVER-USERS at lists.umn.edu Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] simple tool for conversion Well - here is my experience: I did just that - wrote a script that built a shapefile using the lat/long coordiance.

Jon, It is possible to download the MrSID SDK from Lizardtech and then build a GDAL using it, and then build MapServer using that GDAL. But that is a somewhat complex process. If you don't particularly need to serve directly from the MrSID files, I would suggest just converting to GeoTIFF and using that. Most existing binaries should support GeoTIFF directly.

Jon, Well "best way" is a broad request. I am pretty sure there are linux tools (or at least the SDK) available from MrSID. But I am not aware of any binary distributions of a translator package that is freely available from any other source that includes MrSID support. I would suggest you look into what Lizardtech has to offer. You might need to do the translation on windows to use their utilities. I might yet dig into including MrSID support in my FWTools builds.

LizardTech does have a image converter called mrsiddecode in their SDK that will convert from MrSid to a variety of formats (TIFF, GeoTIFF, JPEG, etc.).

Richard, My understanding is that this is the same (perhaps evolved) SDK that was developed by Mapping Science before it was absorbed into Lizardtech. My understanding from then was that they licenced a early version of Kakadu and built on that, making a variety of fairly significant changes to the internals of the code. Apparently the ERMapper JPEG2000 support in their SDK is built on the j2000 freeware sdk. I imagine they also have made a variety of improvements. GDAL provides JPEG2000 via any of Kakadu directly, the ECW SDK, the MrSID SDK or the JasPer library. Of these JasPer has severe performance issues for large images. Since the Kakadu library is not freely available I would expect to de-emphasize it's use in GDAL in favour of the ECW or MrSID SDK based solutions for JPEG2000 in the future.

I have repeatedly modified my map file to include the projection blocks that you and others in this list have mentioned. Each change has provided no results. I have sent copies of my projection file for the California zip map and I have received no explanation of what the terms mean. I have tried to get simple features to work and this has been unsuccessful. I am a complete newbie in the use of mapserver and I have approached the list giving full knowledge of this. Not seeing any change at all between my teacher location shapefile and my California zip file, I began to examine in detail the shapefile itself - my teacher shapefile. I used the utility fGIS a free arcview look-a-like and I began to manually build a teacher point layer over my California zip map and then dump the shape file. ( Incidentally I could bring both my California zip file and the Teacher point file that I built manually up to my mapserver and it displays perfectly) After examining my new point shapefile built with fGIS, I found no lat/long information that was in accord with the lat/long information I have in my database. This led me to the conclusion that I had to convert my lat/long data to x/y coordinates in accord with the California Zip file. Again I began to ask on this list about this - the use of proj and conversion utilities etc. I even asked about ( in replies to others inquires ) formulas for conversion. I received replies of learn basic algebra or something along that line. This was of no offense to me but it was not productive. Many of the discoveries that I have made that have furthered my on understanding have resulted from serious hacking sessions of writing script after script trying to find some correlation between the entries of one shapefile to entries in the other. I keep asking questions following the Chinese proverb: better to ask a question and look the fool for 5 minutes than not ask and look the fool for a lifetime. The term "newbie" which does not register in my spell-checker should be taken seriously and in all fairness some of the list members have take me as such and been very helpful.

To begin, I recommend you to take a look at these simple tutorials which will guide you through the concepts of projection systems: HYPERLINK "http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/coordsys/coordsys_f.html"htt p://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/coordsys/coordsys_f.html HYPERLINK "http://www.geo.hunter.cuny.edu/mp/index.html"http://www.geo.hunter.cuny.edu /mp/index.html HYPERLINK "http://www.udel.edu/johnmack/frec480/480lec_projections.html"http://www.ude l.edu/johnmack/frec480/480lec_projections.html After, you will be able to better understand the parameters to set in proj as well as the dynamic and impact of projected and unprojected datas. These concepts are the basis of a good understanding of Mapserver. Hope this will help you to clarify all these concepts!

I think that some browser/VM combinations will continue to process the HTML page while the applet is still loading. If the page then calls the applet, you will get the error you describe. For example, if you have a function that calls jBox.boxon() immediately after the applet tag, you may get the error.

Yes what you have said is important - an understanding of these cartography principals is very important and I wish to add that nothing I said in my email was in any way an attempt to offend anyone. I just expressed my frustration at where I am in this project at the moment. However..... My position is what I state in my signature. I am first and foremost an application programmer in the areas given below. I have written accounting systems and I would say that I have no knowledge of accounting other than being put with those who do. I have written a advanced javascript and dbf manipulation modules for ARCIMS applications knowing nothing of Mapping other than being with those who do, publishing systems for publishers - knowing nothing of publishing other than being with those who do, advanced encrypting code - with little or no knowledge to the Math that went into creating the algorithm - but working with those who do . In other words for the past 20 years I have had to adapt what I do to the needs of users that were far more advanced in their fields than I could ever hope to be. In each case, they could always provide me with a model that I could follow to continue production. I would never claim to be able to acquire the expertise that you have acquired in your field and though I love this whole GIS concept, I am not in the position to get to level that you have on the timeline that I have at this moment. Remember that this was a proof of concept exercise. If proof is provided it could lead to a timeline that would allow the deeper understanding of the issues involved. The proof of concept was: 1. get mapserver running with demo - completed 2. create a linux based GIS lab environment with all of the tools (perl modules, command line, web based etc.) completed 3. pull data from Mysql database and put a point for each record pulled from the database on my California zip map - not completed 4. be happy with new projects that would extend 2 and my own knowledge of GIS I am at 3 with this problem and I am trying to get to 4, but time is running out for 3.

It has finally occured to me that the root of your problem is that your California zip code file (is that a shape file?) is in a strange projection. An LCC projection but in US Feet. Meters are the usual units used. Early on we found this in the Proj4 epsg file with an epsg code between 26941 and 26946.Any of these should work except for the fact that your zip file is using US Feet vs. Meters. E.g. # NAD83 / California zone 1 <26941> +proj=lcc +lat_1=41.666666667 +lat_2=40.000000000 +lat_0=39.333333333 +lon_0=-122.000000000 +x_0=2000000.000 +y_0=500000.000 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <> Perhaps you could use a projection of init=epsg:26943 but with UNITS set to FEET. Have you tried that in your map file? That failing I would reccommend starting with a California Zip Code shape file in lat/long coordinates. These are available for free from the Census bureau: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/z52000.html#shp Hope this finally helps.

It sounds like your data are in two different coordinate systems. Mapserver can convert between coordinate systems. (to keep this breif, we'll pretend that "coordinate system" and "projection" are synonyms.) Lat/Lon is a spherical representation of the whole earth. Units are degrees of arc. California State Plane is a cartesian (flat) representation. Units are in feet. To get mapserver to convert your data you have to: 1. define a projection for the map output as a whole (what mapserver generates, and which is displayed in the browser). 2. define the projection of each input layer. If all your input data is in the same coordinate system you don't need to mess with that stuff. So if you want to output your maps in California Zone 1 put this in the MAP section of your map file projection "init=epsg: 2225" end And put this inside the LAYER definition of your lat/lon layer(s): projection "init=epsg: 4269" end The epsg number defines a projection and is in turn, defined in the "epsg" file in the $PROJ_LIB directory. (You may need to use other epsg numbers, I didn't look to see if you were in California Zone 1, that was just the first one I found.)

I have tried > to get simple features to work and this has been unsuccessful. Joseph, We've all been there. But it take patience and the willingness to start all over from scratch. It has finally occured to me that the root of your problem is that your California zip code file (is that a shape file?) is in a strange projection. An LCC projection but in US Feet. Meters are the usual units used. Early on we found this in the Proj4 epsg file with an epsg code between 26941 and 26946.Any of these should work except for the fact that your zip file is using US Feet vs. Meters. E.g. # NAD83 / California zone 1 <26941> +proj=lcc +lat_1=41.666666667 +lat_2=40.000000000 +lat_0=39.333333333 +lon_0=-122.000000000 +x_0=2000000.000 +y_0=500000.000 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <> Perhaps you could use a projection of init=epsg:26943 but with UNITS set to FEET. Have you tried that in your map file? That failing I would reccommend starting with a California Zip Code shape file in lat/long coordinates. These are available for free from the Census bureau: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/z52000.html#shp Hope this finally helps.

To briefly re-state the problem: The Current Situation: ================= Paths to tiles are currently constructed by Mapserver by appending various strings: mapfile path + SHAPEPATH + tile item value + DATA If any of the first three strings contain an absolute path, the ones to the left of it are ignored. This makes for not a very flexible (or portable) data arrangement if you've got more than one index.. A Choice of Enhancements for a Solution: ============================== 1. Mapserver would use the same absolute-path rule as above, but if it doesn't resolve to an existing file, would also try mapfile path + tile index path + tile item value + DATA OR 2. Add another keyword to the LAYER object: TILEPATHPREFIX (or something better) if present in the data LAYER, construct the path as: mapfile path + TILEPATHPREFIX + tile item value + DATA (the same absolute-path rule would apply) Either solution would not break existing site and should accomodate my wish to spread my data across file systems and Steve W's to have the tileindex in the same spot as the data.

Yes. These are zipcode polygons with no projection, in latitude longitude.

Do I need to write some java script code to > initialize the cursor and call that function on form submit? Each time you load a new page, you are also loading a new copy of jBox which has to be initialized each time. (Hopefully the browser is caching jBox so that it does not have to fetch a copy each time, but that's not relevant here) jBox has not persistence beyond the scope of the current page. So you need a javascript function to set the cursor image when jBox initializes, which is to say, each time you load a new page.

Typically a "qstring=x" is specified in the URL and passed to mapserver. And then your map file would have a FILTER and FILTERITEM for that layer. 3.

Potentially I could extend the GDAL PNG output to allow adding chunks from "creation options" if that was desired, but it would be a bit clumsy.

Frank, It would be interesting for example to embed text values for pixel colors for example. A mouse over effect could use the data to make some nice tooltip functions. The first posting I was after a way to store the creation parameters for an image, inside of the image for retrieval. I'm (we're) using quite a bit of DHTML. and doing an ItemQuery (with no IMGEXT) makes it difficult to make a subsequent call based on IMGEXT for an overlay object (transparent PNG). If the settings like IMGEXT that were used to create the image were available inside of the image for retrieval, that would be perfect. I may yet take you up on it even if it becomes a private PNG chunk for our use only. I was just thinking that if some basic parameter related to the image creation could be embedded into it. That would go a ways towards solving the problem. I'l still looking through things to try and figure it out though. I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to consider something like this as a post process to GDAL creation. I suupose the parameters would still need to be passed from Mapserver though, so I suppose breaking it out would have little effect.

Zoltan, Why did you configure with "--with-mrsid=..". Is the MrSID stuff really the directory above GDAL? I would advise against using a relative path in the configure even if it was, since the generated paths will be used from many parts of the GDAL tree. Second, why use GDAL 1.1.9? Substantial advances have been made in MrSID support in recent versions and amoung those changes are support for the more recent MrSID SDK releases. I would encourage you to try again with GDAL 1.2.5.

Some of these issues have been mentioned before on the list and in Bugzilla but I would like to ask these questions again to find out if there are recent changes, updates or plans on this. Example 1) a tab file with POINT, POLYGON, MULTIPOLYGON objects Questioning this file with ogrinfo only reports one layer with no geometry type specified. Using the tab file as layer in MapServer with TYPE POLYGON works ok, with TYPE POINT an error message follow: msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'bis_rap'. ogrGeomPoints(): OGR error. OGRGeometry type `MULTIPOLYGON' not supported yet. This is reported before on the list (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0107/msg00049.html) In Bugzilla bugs 448 and 478 seem more or less related to this but there is no specific info on how to get around this. In the OGR HOWTO on http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/ogr-howto.html it states that Mapserver does not yet support tab files with mixed geometry types. Is MapServer support for mixed geometry types in tab files planned? What effort will be necessary to get it done? Example 2) a tab file with POINT, LINESTRING objects Questioning this file with ogrinfo only reports one layer with no geometry type specified. Using the tab file as layer in MapServer with TYPE LINE works ok, with TYPE POINT not only the point objects are displayed but also the points from the LINESTRING objects. Is this behaviour by design and/or can it be changed? For example by putting a query filter on the object type? As workaround I can put a query filter on one of the attributes but I would prefer the LINESTRING points not to be displayed at all when using TYPE POINT or filter them out with a filter on the object type.

Emil, I believe it is intended that MapServer's OGR link should allow use of mixed geometry layers, but by quietly discarding geometries not appropriate to the layer type. I would appreciate it if you could submit a bug report on the case you found didn't work (point layer with multipolygons). I believe this is just a missing case when previos fixes were done. I would add it would appear the OGR howto is a bit out of date. If you add a note about the mixed-layer issue in the howto we can try to fix that up to.

In GDAL 1.2.5 there is a GMT driver which supports GMT generated NetCDF files well. There is also a more generic NetCDF driver but it often fails depending on the organization of the netcdf file. Make sure that a gdalinfo report of your file looks sensible before trying to use it in MapServer. As Tony notes, you could also setup an OPeNDAP server for the netCDF file,but that is quite a bit of complication just to get data into MapServer.

James, You might want to try adding the following line to your raster layer definition. PROCESSING "LOAD_WHOLE_IMAGE=TRUE" In world mapping cases involving reprojection, MapServer sometimes gets confused. The above directive tells MapServer to not try and reproject the request window, but instead to just load the whole image. > In addition, if I try to produce a larger output file, say 1000x500, the > blue marble layer's rendering is mirrored, however everything is displayed. I have never seen this case before. I would encourage you to submit a detailed bug report and ensure it gets assigned to me. I would add there is a wiki topic on WorldMappingIssues at: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WorldMappingIssues Normally I would suggest you update the wiki with info about your particular problems, but for the time being the wiki is read-only.

Some guesses: 1) commune_symboles layer has STATUS OFF on your map file so you must do $couche->status = MS_ON; 2) That layer uses SYMBOL 'star' but I don't see that symbol defined in your map file.

Typically a "qstring=x" is specified in the URL and passed to mapserver. And then your map file would have a FILTER and FILTERITEM for that layer. 3.

That tells MapServer that your coordinates are NOT geographic, but image-based coordinates, and that's not what you have. I didn't try to do a thorough review, but you have UNITS FEET and UNITS METERS scattered through there, both of which are incorrect. The first UNITS statement at the top of the mapfile should read UNITS DD since your output projection is lat/lon and therefore the units are decimal degrees. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Joseph Norris Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 3:26 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] simple tool for conversion Thanks for the help - I have attached the test mapfile. #Joseph Norris (Perl - what else is there?/Linux/CGI/Mysql) print @c=map chr $_+100,(6,17,15,16,-68,-3,10,11,16,4,1,14,-68,12,1,14,8,-68,4,-3,-1,7,1, 14,- 68,-26,11,15,1,12,4,-68,-22,11,14,14,5,15,-90); -----Original Message----- From: Ed McNierney [mailto:ed at topozone.com] Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 5:50 AM To: Joseph Norris; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] simple tool for conversion Joseph - You can indeed do something like that; please post the entire LAYER block that you're using to create those points.

I have made similar highlight maps in my query results using html with tags where the src ponts to mapserver with all the parameters in the URL. In my case to loose the legend, the 'src=' url would include a parameter such as: &map_legend_status=OFF You can modify any part of the mapfile in this way which is great if you dont want to make duplicate map files modified just for your query snapshots. There is a paragraph or three of documentation on this here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/cgi-reference.html scroll down to 'Changing map file parameters via a form or a URL' But note that I have had problems making such an image work with mapserver 4.2. ... works great with 3.6, but is very sporadic with 4.2. I've posted on this with no replies, and in our application I've had to keep mapserver 3.6 around with map files to keep the snapshots working correctly. Haven't tried with 4.4 yet. Perhaps in your case a second map file, edited for your query maps would be easier ... but not having used jbox, I may be out to lunch.

In-Reply-To: <41BC5E5C.9010707@startnet.cz> Message-ID: Hello Miroslav, The way mapserver works is that "maps" are the data the mapserver serves to the client. the data can be any of numerous formats like geo-referenced rasters, or point, line, polygon data, etc. When a client requests [a location and scale] or [a bounding box] to view, mapserver searches through all the data it has been given and then displays the requested view. So what you need to do is: 1) create a mapfile with layers that define you "maps" data 2) If your data is broken into multiple files then you might need to create and use a tileindex 3) create a template UI that calls the CGI interface to get user requests and passes the requests to mapserver CGI You can use the demo application as a starting point for a CGI template application. Can you tell us more about your "maps" data. How many files? What type of files are they? Is it raster data? Tiff?, jpeg, png, gif, other? Is it geo-referenced? ie: does it have world files? -Steve W Miroslav ?ulc wrote: > Hello, > > I am very new to mapserver so I cannot figure out how to do this.

I don't want / can't modify the shapefile and/or the .DBF file, and I'd like to set this long description ONLY ONE TIME in the mapfile, so that when I query the map I don't see the anonymous numeric values but MapServer decodes and substitutes them with my more exausting long description.

Is mapserver a good way to create an interactive map? Depends on what you consider an interactive map. You can do all sorts of navigation, querying, highlighting etc. so that's pretty interactive in my opinion. But keep in mind that webmapping cannot always be compared with a standalone GIS like Mapinfo. > 2. Is it difficult to use? That depends on a lot of things, including your familiarity with webmapping and GIS in general. In my opinion it is not difficult to use, but I am not a newbie so it's difficult for me to judge on this point. > 3. What do I need to start creating maps? I have been to the set up > section and see I need Apache(Got) do I need anything else to get started? You need a webserver which can serve cgi. Normally you create a MAP file to define your data, which classification to use etc. The most simple visualization is through a HTML template (like the Itasca demo), but you can also use the WMS protocol. > 4.

In my previous posts I tried to explain my problem with the SVG generation by some Query request and using SVG template. On my last post I pointed out a problem with the query when someone try to load all points of all geometry on a layer, the only way to get the point to build the SVG document. Now I'm trying a new way to get points, maybe better than the old: I found html output support for a single WMS layer in the mapserver (version 4.3) included on OpenEV_FW 1.8.2 package. With this i can get the points with a simple GetMap request (using WMS url) and with Javascript I can build my SVG document on the fly with the client's browser. The 4.3 version included on OpenEV_FW has some problem with Oracle Spatial, so I have to use the last mapserver build, but I can't add html support to WMS. What do I have to do?

Yes. These are zipcode polygons with no projection, in latitude longitude.

Perhaps you have a solution. > Regards > Anke Olaniyon Anke, I believe the problem is due to limitations of the GML reader in OGR that MapServer uses for reading GML responses from other WFS servers. It takes an adhoc approach to parsing GML that is dependent on finding certain key element names to identify what are features. So you can alter your request then to "what do I need to do to get OGR's GML reader to work with WFS servers like Deegree". If you can provide me samples by direct email I could look into whether something can be done easily.

When you are happy, just comment out the line that echos the scale to the html page that your application renders to. Their may be a better way, but I haven't found it yet and this gets the job done for me anyway. -Steve Holger Floerke wrote: > Hi Steve, > > I do not use the templates.

Do you define transparency for the output? In many cases where a user reports that they have different results between versions, it turns out that the user has changed their *usage* between versions. I'm not discounting your problem, just want to make sure that you've absolutely ruled out that cause.

I set it up so that one could make a selection of three types of teachers getting different colored ellipsis for each type.

Then I added a feature that allows selection of all teachers and this works great - you can see the all the different colored ellipsis..... However..... When zooming in on the selection of all teachers it gets to a point where it shows a blank page - And I think it is at the layer where the teacher's names should show up.

There you can see that mapserver sets an error because the user tried to free an already null hashTable and this causes Java mapscript to bail out with an exception, while in earlier versions the error was ignored. This is a consequence of my patch for handling mapserver errors as exceptions in java mapscript. In fact I have faced a similar error while trying to produce pdf output from Java mapscript. The same map file was working fine with shp2pdf because shp2pdf was just ignoring the error. I believe that my patch, while trying to prevent the java virtual machine from crashing altogether, ends up throwing exceptions when instead it is dealing with a warning (even tough it is an error in mapserver terms). What we need is probably some fine tuning for situations like this... Apologies to Andreas if this is not helping you, but I am just trying to generalize your problem so that we can work out a (hopefully) better solution.

This is essentially what happens with shp2pdf. I still have a hard time believing that the templating can work. The mapscript function expects char** and Andreas is passing a Java array of strings. Does Swig-java translate these automatically? The templating functions certainly do not work for Perl and Python.

Another way you might want to do it, especially if there are a lot of codes, would be to setup a simple database with a table containing the codes and descriptions. I have done this in my query results pages, the result templates create links for each result that contains the code, following the link activates an ASP page that reads and uses the code, and reads the database. This can add a lot of information to your website that otherwise might be hard to get at, and you can then format the data to better suit your needs. This is great for querying drill hole data on a mining exploration map. query a drill hole, follow a link and end up with a table of drill hole assays or geologic intersections generated on the fly. On other websites I have used this technique to link queried data to a flash database application (built by another person at my job, long before we played with MapServer) .. to make interactive charts of data tied to a point on the map. I'm sure there's plenty of other open source ways to do the same thing.

You could set up an external database (MySQL, DBF and comma seperated value files are supported) to hold the code and the long name. You access the joined column then in your template. So, if you have a file that looks like: 0,Long name for code 0 1,Long name for code 1 ... You could define something like this in your mapfile: JOIN NAME "longname" CONNECTIONTYPE CSV TABLE "lookup.txt" FROM "CODE" TO "1" # refers to column 1 END and in your query template perhaps something like: [CODE]: [longname_2] where [CODE] is from the dbf file and [longname_2] refers to the second column in the longname join. Csv joins don't have column names hence the column references. Hope this helps.

Message-ID: Hi, I'm running PHP5 as an apache DSO, and I would very much like to not have to set up a seperate CGI version of PHP just for mapscript related stuff. Is support for php mapscript in DSO mode ever going to occur? It's been 'soon' for a long time now, and from what I can tell, nothing's happening. I have some knowledge of PHP internals - is there anything I can do to help it along? Also, I'm curious what the problem is in the first place: this problem occurs even when running apache in prefork mode - meaning no threads, only forked processes. What is it that mapscript is doing that causes it to crash? My best guess is that it's treating module startup and shutdown badly, and ends up sharing handles on things. When apache starts up, the parent apache process loads the DSOs and fires their module startup functions, then forks its children. As a result, all the children end up with all the handles and resources allocated in the module startup - if this includes things that each should have their own handles for (sockets, for example), the result could be a real mess. Can anyone confirm if this is the case, or if it's something else?

I believe this is directly related to the efforts we have made at DM to promote and sell our company, the value that comes from the technology, and the open source software development approach. Importantly -- this is in large part due to the types of people we present this to - decision makers, not just technical people. Very different arguments and messages appeal to decision makers, and unfortunately, too often individuals or companies only promote technical and "free" benefits of open source software. When properly composed, from sound business fundamentals - we have witnessed that the message can be very powerful and as a consequence of this hard work, we have seen attitudes in Canada change dramatically in the past four years. The ultimate result of this has been that in the past couple of years we have begun to see job postings for people with skills in open source technologies -- and as this message continues to grow and spread -- I'm confident that this will multiply in the future.

Possible, but not likely. I have seen the appplet notinited errors in the one case which I described in my first email. And this had to do strictly with client (browser) side problems. So I wanted to look at your application and see if there was anything similar. I'll check it out as soon as I get a chance. What Browser and Java VM are you using?

I Iooked at your code and viewed the page. I do not see anything suspicious and I did not get an error, so I can only suggest some general avenues to explore. 1. Open the Java console when you run it. It will display considerably more error information when an error does occur. 2. Try the 'regular' jBox instead of the jBoxPNG. Sun's recent Java VMs can display PNGs natively. It is only the Microsoft Java VM that can not, and that therefoer requires the jBoxPNG. 3. Test some other Java enabled sites (e.g. www2.tetonwyo.org/mapsever) to be sure that it's not simply your client configuration. Sorry that I don't have a more specific solution.

There was bug 569 that was fixed in v4.2 (quite a while ago) that was causing problems if you had TEMPLATE set only at the layer level and not inside classes like you have done. If you are using a version older than 4.2.0 then you should either upgrade or try adding the TEMPLATE inside the CLASS as well. Other than that, I can't see what's wrong based on the information that you provided. If you are using version 4.4 and the problem persists then you could maybe file a bug with a small testcase to reproduce.

If you do not have the GIS software to add the fields and corresponding data in a safe way, and if the shapefile isn't too huge in the number of records, you can add the fields using a spreadsheet program such as Excel. Just be absolutely sure you do not re-order the records or add any records or they will loose their assocciation with the corresponding shapes and indices of the shapefile. Also only do this if the data in the shapefile is fairly simple as it is easy to loose the data types and field widths using this method. But it works in a pinch.

Did you start over with a new archive extract on this new machine? Or did you copy over your build directory from the old machine?

To a certain extent this is because web-mapping is still a relatively small segment of the GIS industry and there are many more GIS Analyst/ Cartographer/ Image Analyst positions than positions that solely deal with web based mapping. Many shops that produce Mapserver or ArcIMS sites have a GIS Analyst working double duty when necessary or an IT guy who can throw together and manage IMS sites. That being said I think there is a definite advantage to knowing how to create and manage web sites with multiple tools. Companies and Gov't Institutions go through phases of "we are going Microsoft/ ESRI everything" or "Open Source is CHEAP lets do everything Open Source" and someone who can adapt to meet their needs using the tools available will always be valuable. To answer your questions: I don't think experience with free GIS or Mapserver is enough to get you started. I would recommend at least a GIS certificate from a Community College or Technical University. This will give you some basic foundations in the theory behind GIS as well as some hands on with different GIS software (although these days ESRI seems to have a lock on the education side). If this option is not available start volunteering for local non-profit organizations (like conservation groups, crime stoppers, etc) set up some nifty web sites for them and then use them for resume padding. I don't believe that commercial software companies are actively trying to discourage jobs that use free GIS software in any way other than their natural push to encourage people to use their software. We use Mapserver for all our web mapping needs, but the rest of our GIS infrastructure is ESRI based. When I mention this to the ESRI folks I usually get a mixture of bewilderment and mild amusement from them. Most ESRI folks have absolutely no idea what Mapserver is and those that do don't seem to know what its capabilities are compared to their software.

I had UNITS instead of TOLERANCEUNITS in my layer definition. Curiously, this did not cause the map to fail, or to look wrong. My issue only occured if the erroneous UNITS keyword was placed below TOLERANCE in the layer definition, always leading to a TOLERANCE measured in kilometers. If it was placed above, it was disregarded and the queries worked as normal. That solves the point query problem, but polygon queries still have a minor issue. Using no TOLERANCEUNITS (using the default), or TOLERANCEUNITS set to pixels in the layer definition is returning query results for the nearest feature no matter how far away you click from it. I must set TOLERANCEUNITS to meters with a reasonable TOLERANCE distance to keep it working properly. However, I have not been able to replicate this problem on a simple html website that I could post here, and I have the workaround, so it is probably not worth pursuing.

As Steve says, PDF would be safest, because you can control size and resolution. Alternatively, you can take the risk of assuming your clients will print at 96dpi (which most users do, Internet explorer is set up this way by default), and then use a print scale variable which is derived from the normal scale variable (multiply with constant). You could also manually calculate your scale from scratch, by calculating the distance on the ground, and calculating your distance on paper (96 pixels to an inch). But do not assume the 96dpi to always be true.

One way to get around it, if you have access to using MapInfo is to create a MapInfo table containing the data you want to display, colouring the features using a colour table with Mapinfo. Then use an OGR connection to display the MapInfo table as a layer in MapServer and set a STYLEITEM to "AUTO" within the layer definition. I've done this with regional scale geology polygons over canada, so that I could be sure the polygons were being coloured using the standard Geological Survey of Canada colours. If I had used a shapefile and coloured the polygons by classes, there would have been too many classes within the layer for MapServer to handle ... and it would have taken an unreasonable effort to make all those classes. In my example it did still take some effort to colour the features in MapInfo by a colour table given the large dataset. But the end result has been good.

Things must be different here in Vancouver BC. ESRI is very familiar with MapServer here and definately is against it. I had the 'pleasure' of dealing with an ESRI salesmen here at a mining conference last year who not only tried to put down MapServer in every way possible, but also dragged in the name of a local MapServer proponent, claiming that the person had gotten fed up with and dumped MapServer for ArcIMS, not knowing that I knew the person myself. That person had a great laugh hearing how ESRI had told me of his demise ... I gave him the news right after he had brought me up to date with a number of mapserver advances his group was working on. I myself have no experience with ArcIMS, and only limited experience with ArcSDE, but soon after the encounter with the ESRI salesmen I priced out what it would cost to run ArcIMS with ArcSDE on an Oracle database and found the price to be roughly $50,000 not including roughly $15,000 in annual maintenance fees. So take your open source experience, apply for jobs that don't even mention open source ... and tell the company how you can save them $50,000+ by using MapServer with PostGIS. It's as if they are getting you for free while you build a product for them. Since my run-in with that ESRI salesmen at the mining conference, I have built what I think is a powerful mining/exploration Mapserver website for a small exploration company ... for a fraction of what just the software would have cost from ESRI. In fact if ESRI were the only option, the project would have remained a dream. In other words, open source gives you leads into the market for jobs or projects that are simply unaffordable using ESRI. You need to show the companies that cheaper options exist that can give them what they want ... and that will keep you busy.

Let's forget a static color value for the time being. What about a color ramp. Can a color ramp be used somehow (without going a database route, or using MapScript) to color a set of polygons based on some value in a column, or even simply divide the number of Polygons (or entities) into the color ramp and color them based on sorting. Anything, to get a varied color range for neighboring polygons. I'm just trying to color the polygons uniquely is all. I actually added in the column for coloring thinking it to be a simple operation for MapServer. I did it as a 7 color Ramp that I applied by sorting the names alphabetically. I can add in the 7 classes needed to do it easy enough the long way. It will just look really weird going at it backwards, especially when I have to explain to some mapserver admin in the future that installs a new version and asks me why I'm macthing the RGB values in the Attribute to populate the CLASS with the same values. Don't you think? I guess I'm just getting (too) used to MapServer being able to do everything I ask of it.

I can run the the PHP MapScript MapServerRecipe examples fine but when I try to run the MapServer CGI I get this problem. I tried to run the Itasca workshop example and it gave this "Internal Server Error" so then I tried to run the most basic case of the the CGI in mode=map and it still gave this error. The strange thing is that I used exactly the same map with the first PHP Mapscript MapServerRecipe example and it worked great. After reviewing similar error reports in the Listserv I cannot come up with a solution, so I'm asking for help from somebody out there. My url to attempt to generate the most simple mode=map image is: http://murals.bighostbox.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/m/murals/html/MapServ erRecipes/hello.map&map_web_imagepath=/home/m/murals/html/tmp/&map_web_image url=/tmp/&mode=map (when I send the same URL on my Windows server, with the directory names changed for the Windows system, it displays the image properly, which leads me to believe that the map file is OK) however when I run the php script that uses this same map file: http://murals.bighostbox.com/MapServerRecipes/hello.phtml it works OK. The world protection on my html directory is: r-x , the world protection on my cgi-bin directory is: r-x and the world protection on the mapserv CGI file in this directory is: r-x. The world protection on the tmp directory where the map image files are stored is: rwx. So I'm assuming that the protections are set up OK. When I run phpinfo() (which you can see by going to: http://murals.bighostbox.com), I get: MapServer Version MapServer version 4.4.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=SHAPEFILE PHP MapScript Version ($Revision: 1.220 $ $Date: 2004/11/16 17:23:13 $) The map file is: MAP NAME HELLO STATUS ON EXTENT 0 0 4000 3000 SIZE 400 300 # IMAGECOLOR 200 255 255 IMAGECOLOR 255 0 0 IMAGETYPE GIF WEB IMAGEPATH "/home/m/murals/html/tmp/" IMAGEURL "/tmp/" # IMAGEPATH "/var/www/html/tmp/" # IMAGEURL "/tmp/" END LAYER NAME "credits" STATUS DEFAULT TRANSFORM FALSE TYPE ANNOTATION FEATURE POINTS 200 150 END TEXT 'Hello world.

Considering the input format is a png file with transparency, it should not matter what the output format is. The output does not need to have transparency. It could be something like jpeg or bitmap or whatever, and it still should work correctly. I have included two sample maps rendered using the two different mapserver versions. Version 4.2.5 image is mapserv_4-2-5.png This is the correct one. Version 4.4.0 image is mapserv_4-4.png This is the one with the problem. I have also included my symbol file, mobileicon.png, which is a PNG file with transparency. This you can verify with an image editing tool like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Gimp, etc. I have not changed my input map file format between mapserver versions. Maybe I am missing something that version 4.4 needs ? Here is some code from my map file. OUTPUTFORMAT NAME PNG DRIVER 'GD/PNG' MIMETYPE 'image/png' EXTENSION PNG IMAGEMODE RGB END Now this is making a plain 24bit png file with no transparency. But there should not be a problem here as I dont need transparency in my output. What I want is it to overlay my symbol file correctly. In certain places in my project I pipe the output of mapserver into a Java applet. Now java does not like png that well, so I then use JPEG format for output. When using jpeg output I get the same results with 4.2.5 and 4.4 .. eg 4.2.5 works, and 4.4 does not. Here is how I am specifying my symbol: SYMBOL Name "mi83467696824027" Type PIXMAP Image "/home/maps/tempmap/mi83467696824027.png" END now the image file mi83467696824027.png is identical to the mobileicon.png image. It just has another name in this case as its sucked out of database on the fly when I create the map file. My Script file makes a mif file with the lat/lon of where the symbol should be. I then make a layer using the symbol like this. LAYER NAME "mobile_Layer" TYPE point CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "/home/maps/tempmap/83467696824027.mif" STATUS DEFAULT CLASSITEM "Car" CLASS COLOR 0 0 0 SYMBOL "mi83467696824027" END END Ok, now here you will see I specify the color to be 0 0 0 which is black. But if I remove this statement, the Symbol is not drawn at all on either version. On 4.2.5 it accepts the transparency in the symbol image file. In 4.4, it does not. I have also found that on version 4.4, with some different symbol image files with transparency, the color is say green instead of black. This seems to be because its ignoring the transparency and drawing the color in the color map thats supposed to be transparent. This I see as a problem. Have they perhaps added some other statement/directive to go into the mapfile somewhere to solve this ?? Or is this just a nasty bug in the newer version ?? I hope I have clearly explained my difficulties ?? Do any of you out there have any ideas ??

According to the docs (http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/mapserver-4.x-PHP-MAPSCRIPT-README.txt) setpoints expects double values. To me it seems as they are treated as int. Is this a bug?

There was bug 569 that was fixed in v4.2 (quite a while ago) that was causing problems if you had TEMPLATE set only at the layer level and not inside classes like you have done. If you are using a version older than 4.2.0 then you should either upgrade or try adding the TEMPLATE inside the CLASS as well. Other than that, I can't see what's wrong based on the information that you provided. If you are using version 4.4 and the problem persists then you could maybe file a bug with a small testcase to reproduce.

Overlaying a transparent symbol on a RGB map, if it ever worked, was definitely broken in MapServer 4.0. I fixed it in 4.2.4 and 4.4, but now you need to explicitly direct MapServer with a TRANSPARENCY ALPHA for layers that use transparent pixmaps. In the most recent versions, you can even use alpha transparent PNG symbols. The new keyword exists because this is a fairly expensive operation and need not be done for most layers. The new directive is *not* needed when drawing indexed transparent pixmaps like your GIF onto 256-color output. That should work as before. Finally, map-level transparency is deprecated. You should adjust this within an OUTPUTFORMAT block. It has no meaning for RGB output anyway. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From sgillies at FRII.COM Wed Dec 15 07:30:06 2004 From: sgillies at FRII.COM (Sean Gillies) Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2004 08:30:06 -0700 Subject: Mapserver problems In-Reply-To: <006201c4e280$16b3cd30$254726c4@beast> Message-ID: On Dec 15, 2004, at 1:28 AM, James Anderson wrote: > Hi, > > I am using png format for output. > Considering the input format is a png file with transparency, it > should not > matter what the output format is.

I added this to 4.2.4 to fix a long-standing bug. I also saw that you are not defining the symbol properly for your class. Please read the current mapfile reference documentation. Your usage is out of date. You should do something like this: LAYER CLASS STYLE SYMBOL "mi83467696824027" END END END There are examples for each of these cases in mapserver/tests/test.map in the MapServer distribution.

Message-ID: Hi folk's: Finally I got map server to work with mysql. putting the shp data into mysql with shp2mysql.pl. it works fine, I get the map and the labels, its ok. Now, is there a way to do a Select to an other table in the same database, just as we can do with the join statement, to retrieve the new map? By the way, the only way we can do a query up to day, is by do the query on a SHP and then retrieve the data from MySql via Join. Is there a way to do that directly in MySql.? Thanks.

Message-ID: You bet, check out a new version of LandView that a couple of us here have been playing with. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/landview_dhtml_x.html There are controls to turn the measure tool on/off just below the main interface (haven't had time to create a logo). This version of dbox.js uses the Walter Zorn (www.walterzorn.com) graphics library for box drawing and line drawing. Since DHTML line drawing is rather intensive (pixel = div) new lines only appear once defined so you have to click once to define a starting point, then again for the second point, and then you'll see a line. Of course then you can define additional segments. Note that while this code is very stable, it's not complete (no area computations, no "working" image). There is another developer that's been working on dbox.js and mapserv.js enhancements that I need to hook up with to produce a unified version. Note that the API is identical (or as close as possible) to Rich Greenwood's jbox component. They are designed to be interchangable.

Where I work, we have an in-house developed map generating software, that I'm working on creating a WMS-frontend for. The frontend itself is pretty much done, and I've confirmed that I get mapserver to fetch images from it. But, projections are (as espected) making things ... interesting :) Our system has been around for a while, and as far as I know, all projection handling is done in Fortran libraries. It does not use proj, and it's not likely to do so in the (near) future. So, I'm pretty much stuck with the projections our system already knows, which are: polar stereographic, mercator, geographic and spherical_rot, with polar stereographic being our most commonly used projection. So, I've been looking at proj, and trying to figure out how to configure mapserver to use the same rotation we do, and I'm not really sure where to begin. Our polar stereographic projections has the latitude of true scale at 60 degrees north, central meridian is 0. Is this the right set of parameters for a projection like this? PROJECTION "ellps=WGS84" "proj=stere" "lat_0=60" "lat_ts=60" "lon_0=0" END Where should it go? Should I add this to every layer, or is it enough to define this in the main section of the map file? I've seen the proj documentation mention a parameter 'k' as the scaling factor. I've assumed that this is 1, but I don't know. What about the WMS-parameter SRS? I haven't found any definition in /usr/local/share/proj/epsg that matches these parameters. Should I just add one, and assign it whatever number I like, or is there a more standardized way of doing that? At the moment, I just picked EPSG:2175, as that's the closest I could found (not a good idea, I know). Next obstacle is coordinate systems of course. I still don't know what the numbers mapserver sends in the WMS-request means, so converting to our internal system is a bit of a challenge :) Our system is based on the distance from the north pole to equator. I can decide how many units this should be, which will give me a grid with 0,0 being the north pole. I can also decide exactly where I want to position 0,0. So - the big question, I suppose, is how much work will it be to convert from one system to the other? Is it as simple as adding an offset, and multiplying by some scale? (Assuming the projections are identical, of course). Or is it considerably more complex? Any information will be greatly appreciated. If I've left out important information, just ask, it's probably because I don't know exactly what I'm doing. -- Trond Michelsen From James.Shanton2 at NSCORP.COM Wed Dec 15 11:59:52 2004 From: James.Shanton2 at NSCORP.COM (Shanton, James A) Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2004 14:59:52 -0500 Subject: Mapserver 4.4 timing out ( Windows Binaries ) Message-ID: When I try to zoom / Pan (jbox) with version 4.4 it works the first time but then sits and times out the second time I try to do anything.

Before the update, the query plan use to filter the well_log_curve table by source before joining to main_well2 and then apply the gist index. Now it is filtering by source at the very end. This is significant because if you filter by source first, then you will only receive back around 100 rows. Here is the plan now: QUERY PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nested Loop (cost=0.00..844.36 rows=1 width=74) -> Index Scan using main_well2_the_geom_idx on main_well2 (cost=0.00..12.90 rows=3 width=55) Index Cond: (the_geom && 'SRID=-1;BOX3D(-142.633293514961 38.5465516731216 0,-51.4598436170248 76.5484665317199 0)'::geometry) -> Index Scan using well_log_curve2_uwi_idx on well_log_curve2 (cost=0.00..306.22 rows=2 width=19) Index Cond: ("outer".uwi = well_log_curve2.uwi) Filter: (source = 'TIG600'::character varying) (6 rows) Also, there is no point in using the gist index first because EVERYTHING fits inside that box. Here are the relevant parts to my .map file: DATA "the_geom from (select main_well2.the_geom as the_geom, main_well2.oid as oid, main_well2.uwi as uwi, well_log_curve2.source as source from main_well2 inner join well_log_curve2 on main_well2.uwi = well_log_curve2.uwi) as new_table using unique oid" FILTER "source = '%source%'" I have tried the following: SELECT update_geometry_stats('main_well2','the_geom'); VACUUM ANALYZE; after this, the query still returns the same query plan. How can I force it to filter by source before joining with main_well2. I am up for changing the DATA statement and/or removing the FILTER tag and incorporating it into the DATA statement somehow.

The Maptools binary seem to be fairly large, but if you use the "kitchen sink" binary available is is much smaller. I have had similar problems when trying to replace our existing maptools binaries with the "kitchen sink" builds from Iowa State (http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/) I think you need to double check all the dll's to make sure you have the versions that came with the binary build you are using.

I have not tested every possible interaction of my binaries. If the binaries on maptools.org have the features you need, I see no reason to use the binaries on my site. They haven't been tested as much and are not as widely deployed. Another interaction that Mike alludes to is the dll stuff. The "kitchen sink" binaries can quickly put you in "DLL Hell", as the entire package is dynamically linked. If you have dlls of the same name (but different versions, etc) in front of the ones that the build expects on the PATH, funky things can happen. I try to include all of the dependencies with the package (except for ones that I can't distribute). I don't think the maptools.org binaries have these kinds of problems, and they are likely much easier to use. I would be interested in getting a traceback of the error you are seeing with jbox if you have time or want to pursue this further. You would have to attach a debugger to it (like MSVC, but there are others) to do so. With more information, I can investigate why this might be happening.

INFO: cgi: runCGI (stderr):Unrecognized character \x7F at /usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/webapps/ROOT/test-cgi/mapserv.cgi line 1.

I would prefer option 2 as there is no overhead for this in your MAP file.

I have a set (about 5000) points with coordinates in MySQL database and map that covers the region of the points. When user says "display THIS point on map", I would like to display map with this point in the center. I suppose I should 1) estimate the extent of the map that I want to display 2) insert the point into a layer (the point has coordinates) and draw the point I can somehow estimate the extent but I don't know how I can insert the point specified by coordinates into the map. I use PHP Mapscript.

It turns out that it isn't. Since I did not need any additional parameters, but thought it was mandatory, I stuck in an empty array. That caused a CGI timeout. Once I took it out, it worked fine. Here's what I ended up with: $queryHTML = $map->processQueryTemplate(MS_FALSE); Rene >>> Daniel Morissette 2004-12-14 1:00:34 PM >>> Rene Teniere wrote: > Hi, > > Just trying to get info functionality working in our site using > PHP/Mapscript.

There was bug 569 that was fixed in v4.2 (quite a while ago) that was causing problems if you had TEMPLATE set only at the layer level and not inside classes like you have done. If you are using a version older than 4.2.0 then you should either upgrade or try adding the TEMPLATE inside the CLASS as well. Other than that, I can't see what's wrong based on the information that you provided. If you are using version 4.4 and the problem persists then you could maybe file a bug with a small testcase to reproduce.

The problem with msSLDApplySLD() is probably because you did not configure for WMS Client support. The OWS code's conditional compilation directives are screwed up and enforce some unnecessary dependencies. If you can not build a more capable MapServer (with Curl, and full WMS/WFS), you can hack mapscript/swiginc/map.i and mapscript/swiginc/layer.i and comment out the "applySLD", "applySLDURL", and "generateSLD" methods. cheers, Sean On Dec 16, 2004, at 7:38 AM, Karel Cernohorsky wrote: > Thans Frank, > > Win32 Compilation and Installation HOWTO helped me a lot. > But journey continue. > I am now trying to compile java mapscript and I have a similar > problems :( > > Now I have compiled mapserver succesfuly. > mapserv -v > MapServer version 4.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP > SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE > SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG > > Is there any similar HOWTO concerning java mapscript compilation on > windows? > > makefile.vc for java mapscrip ends with this error. > But I dont understand it well, but is seems like problems with layers. > Am I missing some library or what? > > mapscript_wrap.c > link /dll /debug mapscript_wrap.obj > d:\MapServerSupportProjects\gdwin32/bgd.lib d:\M > apServerSupportProjects\proj-4.4.9/src/proj_i.lib > ..\..\mapserver_i.lib /NODEFAULTLIB > :"MSVCRTD" /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmtd > /NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrtd > /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC /DEBUG > /def:..\..\mapserver.def /out:mapscript.dll /implib:mapscript_i.lib > Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 7.00.9466 > Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

I worked on our demo-laptop with umn v4.2 and SLD. The problem is, that umn just seem to ignore the SLD-tag, if your configuration is not correct. For the map-request leave the STYLES= Section empty, an example: http://212.79.172.184/cgi-bin/mapserv42?map=/var/data/sld/world.map&VERsion=1.1.1&REQUEST=getmap&LAYERS=country&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-180,-180,180,180&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=200&FORMAT=PNG&BGCOLOR=0xffffff&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&EXCEPTIONS=INIMAGE&SLD=http://212.79.172.184/sld/world/country.xml You may download the SLD from our demoserver and play around with this (Building side!!!).

In your example below, everything is fine. But if you switch to the two commented EXTENT and UNITS lines, it won't work unless your PROJECTION block is changed to have the map generated in a different projection that uses those units. Leave your EXTENT and UNITS alone, since you want to (I think) still have your output projection be "latlong". You need to create a new PROJECTION block that's *inside* the LAYER definition block for the new layer that's got units in feet. By default MapServer assumes that all LAYERs not otherwise described are in the same projection as the output projection of the image (the one defined by the top-level PROJECTION block). If that's not the case, MapServer can't guess - you have to tell it that a given layer is in a different projection by including a PROJECTION block inside that layer definition. What is the "other" projection? You need to know either its name (if it's a common, standard projection) or all the mathematical parameters describing it if it's a custom projection. If you don't know how to describe it accurately, MapServer won't be able to guess for you ! - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Camden Daily Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 11:30 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Projection/Extent help Hello all.

I Iooked at your code and viewed the page. I do not see anything suspicious and I did not get an error, so I can only suggest some general avenues to explore. 1. Open the Java console when you run it. It will display considerably more error information when an error does occur. 2. Try the 'regular' jBox instead of the jBoxPNG. Sun's recent Java VMs can display PNGs natively. It is only the Microsoft Java VM that can not, and that therefoer requires the jBoxPNG. 3. Test some other Java enabled sites (e.g. www2.tetonwyo.org/mapsever) to be sure that it's not simply your client configuration. Sorry that I don't have a more specific solution.

You really have to evaluate what functionality you think you are getting from SDE. Unless you have an installed base of ArcMap users with a true concurrent editing requirement, it might not be getting you anything PostGIS doesn't do better.

Just because I was the first to answer your question doesn't mean I'm the best to answer the rest of your questions, nor am I agreeing to be your personal answer man for life . And it's important for everyone else to learn from your questions, and to have them go into the archives. Thanks! Well, I guessed wrong - you didn't say whether the layer in your map file was the DD layer or the FEET layer. And I overlooked the PROJECTION block in your LAYER definition - sorry about that; I didn't scroll down far enough . Is 26971 incorrect? Well, it's units are not feet, but meters, as are most state plane systems. Get rid of the UNITS FEET in the LAYER block, as it's not going to change your projection for you. Your coordinates appear to be 26971 coordinates converted to feet, so you will need to create a custom projection definition that's the equivalent of NAD83 Illinois East in feet. Here's the definition of 26971: NAD83 / Illinois East <26971> proj=tmerc lat_0=36.666666667 lon_0=-88.333333333 k=0.999975 x_0=300000.000 y_0=0.000 ellps=GRS80 datum=NAD83 units=m no_defs <> If you replace the "units=m" statement with "to_meter=0.3048006096" you will adjust this projection definition to be in feet. You will need to explicitly describe this projection as: PROJECTION "proj=tmerc" "lat_0=36.666666667" "lon_0=-88.333333333" "k=0.999975" "x_0=300000.000" "y_0=0.000" "ellps=GRS80" "datum=NAD83" "to_meter=0.3048006096" "no_defs" END This should accurately describe your data layer, and allow MapServer to reproject it. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: Camden Daily [mailto:cdaily at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 12:15 PM To: Ed McNierney Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Projection/Extent help Ed, Thanks for the reply, but I'm still a little confused... > Your EXTENT and UNITS need to be described in the units of the output > projection your map is using.

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the styleObj doesn't have enough specificity to support it. What's needed is a second size related parameter. I would propose 'THICKNESS' which would control the thickness of what are now single pixel width lines: lines with no symbol, hatch lines, vector symbol renderings and so on. This would remove the requirement of defining a circle symbol to draw 'fat' lines (although that would still work). You'd just need something like: STYLE COLOR 255 0 0 THICKNESS 4 END Note that the new hatching work Arnulf and I did allows for arbitrary hatch angles and does not allow for thick lines. SIZE controls the spacing. This is not a particularly difficult addition for GD, not sure about PDF and SWF output.

END So the mapfile does not deliver any map, just a white image. Then we use the GetStyle-request to generate a Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) from the actual mapfile. In this SLD we change the "%user%" in the filter with a key on demand, which we assigned to a registered user (this is possible in the Mapbender client suite). When a registerd user demands a map, the map-request only can send a "usable" map, when the correct SLD assigned to the getMap request: http:// .... &getMap& .... & SLD=URL_to_SLD.xml The client changes the "%user%" in the XML on demand (pure PHP) with in this case "0", so that the filter in the SLD looks like this FILTER EXPRESSION [index] > 0 Just some thoughts, may they'll help you ...

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the styleObj doesn't have enough specificity to support it. What's needed is a second size related parameter. I would propose 'THICKNESS' which would control the thickness of what are now single pixel width lines: lines with no symbol, hatch lines, vector symbol renderings and so on. This would remove the requirement of defining a circle symbol to draw 'fat' lines (although that would still work). You'd just need something like: > > STYLE > COLOR 255 0 0 > THICKNESS 4 > END > > Note that the new hatching work Arnulf and I did allows for arbitrary hatch angles and does not allow for thick lines.

Beeing able to change the line thickness would be a great addition. There is a lot more to it though, I believe we should spend some discussion on that when we meet at the Geospatial '05. Should we plan workshop? The mentioned cartography documentation by Peter Freimuth has been translated and is currently beeing docbooked by Jeff. Should be availabe soon. You can have a look at the HTML here: http://www.mapbender.org/umn_cartography/cartographic_symbols.html This link will be reomved as soon as it is availabe in the UMN MapServer docs to keep versions clean.

What we do is to first request an image 4*4 times larger than needed for the 72 dpi screen. Thereafter we resize (or compress) the image by the same factor 4 which gives us 288 dpi on paper which is good for most printouts. We have no trouble whatsoever with scaling the maps on paper, the printout is more accurate than standard paper can handle (humindity index, direction of fiber, etc.). You do have to tune the WMS though. When addressing a UMN MapServer we currently maintain two separate MAP files, as the postprocess resizing also compresses non-scalable objects like texts, symbols and line width (new parameter THICKNESS for hatches?!). You have the option to use SYMBOLSCALE, SIZE, MINSIZE and MAXSIZE, etc. but most of the time this srews the cartography of standard WMS requests. Notice that requesting larger images changes the scale of an image, MAXSCALE and MINSCALE might omit layers from the printout where you wouldn't want to. If I have the time or if there is enough interest we might add our experiences to the WIKI or docs. We are keen on having more options with SLD, but I think thats still a long way to go, starting with the spec. To be discussed at the Open Geospatial '05.

I have just tried out your suggestion, using the proprietary CGI parameters. I used the IMAGETYPE setting in the map file to force SWF output, using the default settings for this format. When I requested a map, the mapserver process started using all available CPU capacity for creating a large SWF file in my directory for temporary files. I stopped the process when this file had grown to 1.6 Gigabytes. All works well when I change IMAGETYPE to GIF or PNG for example. So now I?m back at my original question: Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with the binaries?

Message-ID: Till, Many thanks for the explanation. I'll have to work through it in detail to make sure I understand the implications of using SLDs. But for the WMS site I'm building, I can't use a solution that involves client-side code as I expect most of my users will access the site using ArcMap, MapInfo, and other stand-alone client apps not under my control. This is supposed to be the great promise of OWS: any server to any client. You did give me an idea though (something Ed McNierney had suggested to solve a different problem): have some server-side ASP return a hand-edited version of the XML doc when GETCAPABILITIES are requested by the client. I'll just remove any layers I don't want exposed...

Message-ID: Ed, Yeah, I already ran into that one. My thought was to have a map file design to deal with the issues of - don't want to expose a map file layer in GETCAPABILITES (but still want mapserver to render/use it) - may want to expose a group of map file layers as only one OWS layer - method should be the same for WMS, WFS, WCS (others yet to be defined?) - other similar issues? so I was going through some many-to-one, one-to-none (and many-to-many? yikes!) mapfile layer to OWS layer scenarios to see what made sense. My work-around in the short term is to do server-side filtering of the XML doc...

Message-ID: Hello, I have been trying to project Michigan state plane coordinate shapefiles (EPSG:2253 or EPSG:102690 both are LCC) onto a Mapfile defined in Michigan Georef (EPSG:102123) which is a hotine oblique mercator. I think Proj is miscalculating the reprojection because the state plane data is showing up in the area of the false northing and easting of the georef projection. I have checked the parameters of the projection in the EPSG file and they are correct according to http://www.michigan.gov/documents/DNR_Map_Proj_and_MI_Georef_Info_20889_7.pdf. Also, I know that these parameters work when applied correctly, because I've written my own small VB program to convert coordinates from state plane to georef and back. To check that proj was actually calculating the projections, I checked it by assigning the State Plane projection to the mapfile then projecting a shapefile in UTM zone 17 onto it. That was flawless, but once I switch the Mapfile back to Georef proj miscalculates. To see where everything has been going I have set my extents to gargantuon numbers to encompass any possible placement of the projections and has helped me find where everything was going. So now, if it really comes down to getting dirty I think I might need to open up PROJ4's guts and check out what its doing wrong. Hopefully though, I am the one that is screwing things up, so if anybody knows about how proj handles oblique mercators, I would be happy to hear any comments. Also here is the portions of the mapfile that are pertinent to this message: MAP NAME zooba.map STATUS ON SIZE 400 400 EXTENT 129827.580 41110.205 823355.654 889381.112 #EXTENT 13067766 660421 13155653 722085 UNITS meters SHAPEPATH "c:\webgisdata\zooba\v1c\" SYMBOLSET "c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\zooba.org\zoobastart\gis\symbols.sym" IMAGETYPE png24 FONTSET "c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\zooba.org\zoobastart\gis\fonts.list" #GEOREF PROJECTION BASED USING GRS80 ELLIPSOID IN METERS PROJECTION "init=EPSG:102123" # "proj=omerc" # "lat_0=45.30916666666666" # "lonc=-86" # "alpha=337.255555555556" # "k_0=0.9996" # "x_0=2546731.496" # "y_0=-4354009.816" # "ellps=GRS80" # "datum=NAD83" # "units=m" # " no_defs" # "init=EPSG:2253" END #PROJECTION QUERYMAP STATUS ON STYLE SELECTED COLOR 255 255 0 END LAYER NAME easements_4_27_04.shp TYPE Polygon TRANSPARENCY 50 # maxscale 1500000 STATUS on PROJECTION "init=epsg:102123" END #PROJECTION DATA easements_4_27_04 HEADER 'easements_4_27_04.shp_header.html' TEMPLATE easements_4_27_04.shp_query.html CLASS Name 'Easements' COLOR 100 100 231 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 END # CLASS END # LAYER LAYER NAME geoeasements_4_27_04.shp TYPE Polygon TRANSPARENCY 50 maxscale 1500000 STATUS on PROJECTION "init=EPSG:102690" #"+proj=lcc" #"+lat_1=43.66666666666666" #"+lat_2=42.1" #"+lat_0=41.5" #"+lon_0=-84.36666666666666" #"+x_0=3999999.999984" #"+y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80" #"+datum=NAD83" #"+to_meter=0.3048" #"+no_defs" #"no_defs" END #PROJECTION DATA Geoeasements_4_27_04 HEADER 'easements_4_27_04.shp_header.html' TEMPLATE easements_4_27_04.shp_query.html CLASS Name 'Geoeasements' COLOR 255 138 231 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 END # CLASS END # LAYER From ealpert at DIGITALGLOBE.COM Fri Dec 17 09:00:11 2004 From: ealpert at DIGITALGLOBE.COM (Ethan Alpert) Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 10:00:11 -0700 Subject: How do I hide a layer from WMS GETCAPABILITIES XML?

IMHO, it is highly unlikely that the CODE in PROJ is broken (although that's possible) and it's much more likely that there's something wrong with the parametric description of that projection. I can't see anything obviously wrong with it, and Frank Warmerdam didn't notice anything obviously wrong back in August when Dylan reported the same problem. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Clever, Max Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 11:16 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Problem with Oblique and Hotine oblique projections in proj? Hello, I have been trying to project Michigan state plane coordinate shapefiles (EPSG:2253 or EPSG:102690 both are LCC) onto a Mapfile defined in Michigan Georef (EPSG:102123) which is a hotine oblique mercator. I think Proj is miscalculating the reprojection because the state plane data is showing up in the area of the false northing and easting of the georef projection. I have checked the parameters of the projection in the EPSG file and they are correct according to http://www.michigan.gov/documents/DNR_Map_Proj_and_MI_Georef_Info_20889_ 7.pdf. Also, I know that these parameters work when applied correctly, because I've written my own small VB program to convert coordinates from state plane to georef and back. To check that proj was actually calculating the projections, I checked it by assigning the State Plane projection to the mapfile then projecting a shapefile in UTM zone 17 onto it. That was flawless, but once I switch the Mapfile back to Georef proj miscalculates. To see where everything has been going I have set my extents to gargantuon numbers to encompass any possible placement of the projections and has helped me find where everything was going. So now, if it really comes down to getting dirty I think I might need to open up PROJ4's guts and check out what its doing wrong. Hopefully though, I am the one that is screwing things up, so if anybody knows about how proj handles oblique mercators, I would be happy to hear any comments. Also here is the portions of the mapfile that are pertinent to this message: MAP NAME zooba.map STATUS ON SIZE 400 400 EXTENT 129827.580 41110.205 823355.654 889381.112 #EXTENT 13067766 660421 13155653 722085 UNITS meters SHAPEPATH "c:\webgisdata\zooba\v1c\" SYMBOLSET "c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\zooba.org\zoobastart\gis\symbols.sym" IMAGETYPE png24 FONTSET "c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\zooba.org\zoobastart\gis\fonts.list" #GEOREF PROJECTION BASED USING GRS80 ELLIPSOID IN METERS PROJECTION "init=EPSG:102123" # "proj=omerc" # "lat_0=45.30916666666666" # "lonc=-86" # "alpha=337.255555555556" # "k_0=0.9996" # "x_0=2546731.496" # "y_0=-4354009.816" # "ellps=GRS80" # "datum=NAD83" # "units=m" # " no_defs" # "init=EPSG:2253" END #PROJECTION QUERYMAP STATUS ON STYLE SELECTED COLOR 255 255 0 END LAYER NAME easements_4_27_04.shp TYPE Polygon TRANSPARENCY 50 # maxscale 1500000 STATUS on PROJECTION "init=epsg:102123" END #PROJECTION DATA easements_4_27_04 HEADER 'easements_4_27_04.shp_header.html' TEMPLATE easements_4_27_04.shp_query.html CLASS Name 'Easements' COLOR 100 100 231 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 END # CLASS END # LAYER LAYER NAME geoeasements_4_27_04.shp TYPE Polygon TRANSPARENCY 50 maxscale 1500000 STATUS on PROJECTION "init=EPSG:102690" #"+proj=lcc" #"+lat_1=43.66666666666666" #"+lat_2=42.1" #"+lat_0=41.5" #"+lon_0=-84.36666666666666" #"+x_0=3999999.999984" #"+y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80" #"+datum=NAD83" #"+to_meter=0.3048" #"+no_defs" #"no_defs" END #PROJECTION DATA Geoeasements_4_27_04 HEADER 'easements_4_27_04.shp_header.html' TEMPLATE easements_4_27_04.shp_query.html CLASS Name 'Geoeasements' COLOR 255 138 231 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 END # CLASS END # LAYER From mike.and.kerry at GMAIL.COM Fri Dec 17 11:24:14 2004 From: mike.and.kerry at GMAIL.COM (Mike Davis) Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 10:24:14 -0900 Subject: Mapserver 4.4 timing out ( Windows Bina ries ) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I have also been having time-out issues with the "kitchen sink" binaries.

Running MapServer through your $url HTTP GET request simply fires off a different, completely unrelated instance of MapServer. IF you created a template file that consisted solely of the single line [img] Then that HTTP GET request (executing MapServer) would return to you nothing but the URL pointing to the map image it just created. You can then load that image file separately and do whatever you like with it. But there's no "IMG" querystring variable to pass the name of an image file - IMG.X and IMG.Y are CGI variables for passing the coordinates of a mouse click. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Joseph Norris Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 4:37 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] mixture of perl/mapscript and mapserver Everyone, I have the following bit of code: $layerObj->draw($map, $img); $point_layer->draw($map, $img); my $new_map = "$png_location/" . sprintf("mx%0.10d",rand(1000000000)) .

In the source code I recognized already some code to prepare the using of buffer(shapeObj) from geos. You will need a mapserver which was build with geos support and the geos library itself.

I'm talking about 8-bit, 144000x14000, 6.1 MB compressed Mr.SID files, each uncompressed (tiff) 187 MB. I tried various methods displaying these images. Irfan View with Mr.SID plug-in needs about 15 sec to load a Mr.SID image, but then Irfan View is even faster than Mr.SID Viewer, interesting, isn't it?! Quite interesting too is the different memory management. Irfan View or PaintShop need 195 MB of RAM, Mr.SID Viewer at loading time only 4MB, what also means, that at first the quality of the image is quite worse and then it get's better. But even then Mr.SID Viewer only needs 16 MB of RAM! Does anybody have an idea how to tweak performance?

However you can do buffered queries by point and polygon by just using layer tolerance values. No buffered feature is created but distances are computed to ensure features are within a certain distance of one another. For example, to find all houses within 10 miles of a shape you'd set the tolerance for the house layer to 10 and the the tolerance units to MILES and then do the queryByShape.

In the source code I recognized already some code to prepare the using of buffer(shapeObj) from geos. You will need a mapserver which was build with geos support and the geos library itself. Maybe you can contact Steve Lime to get further infos about the status of the geos integration to mapserver. Kind regards, Peter -- Mit freundlichem Gru?

Don't try to think of the image in terms of x and y, think in terms of pixels and lines and save x and y for the spatial coordinates. Some work was done to tighten up MapServer's rectObj around 4.2.3 and since then you need to use an extra switch if your rectangle is in image coordinates. I seem to recall that you helped me find this issue in the first place.

How can I make my mapfile handle this properly? I've tried something like this: EXRPRESSION ([%col%] %op% %val%) but it has problems when no search has been performed yet; if any of those 3 elements are missing it's an invalid expression and it barfs.

When CGI mapserver processes the map file and the html template it subtitutes [...] tags with the actual value of that variable. You can see the value of those variables if you put the tags into your template. For example

In-Reply-To: <20041222211245.68930.qmail@web40804.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: I was just helping someone deal with this very issue... If your hosting service is unix-based you're better off compiling MapServer within their server (if allowed). You can of course compile MapServer using a similar platform and upload the binaries to the server. The potential problem here is that the libraries you compiled MapServer with might not be the same version as the libraries installed in the server. It's a pain to deal with this. Ultimately, what you can do is compile MapServer, copy all the libraries you used and package them together. Now, you'll probably end up with duplicate libraries on the server and that will give you other problems. What you can do is create a wrapper shell script like so: #!/bin/sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/path/to/mapserver/libs export LD_LIBRARY_PATH /cgi-bin/mapserv Save that script as something like mapserv.cgi in your CGI directory and make sure it's executable. Now, when you call MapServer, use mapserv.cgi instead of mapserv. If they give you an editable Apache config (or whatever httpd server they use), you can also just append SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/some/path/to/mapserver/libs" to this config file and forego writing a wrapper script. If your hosting service is Windows-based, you still need to copy those libraries as chances are they don't exist in the server. You can also follow the same strategy as with the unix server but instead of specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH you'll be editing the PATH (you could screw things royally if you don't know how to edit this). And unless your Windows server has a bash shell installed you'll be using Windows CMD shell. Also, if you're on Windows, there are a few binaries available for your use. Check maptools.org and the main MapServer web site. I'm still providing binaries for Windows but I actually don't use them as I'm strictly on Linux these days. So, if you use mine, I might not be able to provide help. Sorry to give you such a long reply and probably confusing you in the process. The short answer is YES, but not insurmountably hard, and NO, if you anticipate the problems I mentioned above. There are other ways, of course, and this only applies to the CGI program. Talk to your hosting service people, they might already have MapServer installed for you. ;) Good luck and welcome to the MapServer world! Perry N.

I don't use either of those two, so offhand I would have to guess not. Personally I'm unlikely to ever use Oracle but I could be probably persuaded to support MySQL and/or accept patches to make the SRPMs look for Oracle libs when built (and not fail if they aren't present).

Well, Linux is Linux IMHO ;-) I use these RPMs both on my webserver and my desktop, so, sure, why not. I would be willing to add other packages to the archive if there are things that people want and would use. I've been thinking of adding gpsbabel, gpsd, and one or more of: QGIS, Thuban, and/or OpenEV. Thanks for your interest.

We need promote the use of standards, not the use of "Defacto Standards", which is what I see the ArcIMS emulator as doing.The ArcIMS emulator is a nifty hack, but it puts one more brick in the ESRI wall, whereas requiring ESRI users to avail themselves of standards-based tools takes a brick out of that wall. It reminds the ESRI user that there is a bigger world out there. The WMS capabilities in ArcGIS 9.0 SP2 appear to be very good in my limited testing. There is also an OGC add-on for ArcGIS 8.3 and one of the free ESRI viewers (the Windows one I think) which are less capable than the SP2 interface, but still quite functional.

When you use image swapping you are accessing mapserver in "map" mode, which means mapserver is only producing an image, no temporary image is saved to the server (or the client, jBox in this case) and mapserver is not template variable substitution for you. So you need to make additional calls to mapserver for any other things you need, like a reference map, scalebar, etc. You also have to keep track of your map extents yourself (you could make another request to mapserver to do the calculations, but that would involve more overhead that it's worth).

Guess it was worth pulling my hair out. Anyway, your statement: LABELREQUIRES "[district] = 1" is invalid. LABELREQUIRES is used to toggle labeling based on the status of OTHER layers. For example, you might not want to show lake labels if you're displaying a scanned map as a backdrop that already has them. Your use of LABELREQUIRES basically draw labels if the layer is on. That's how MapServer works by default so it's unnessesary. Remove that line and you should be fine. If you have 2 layers called district then you'll need to rename one. You cannot reference the current layer nor other layers that depend on the current layer in REQUIRES or LABELREQUIRES statements. Otherwise you will get the recursion error.

You need to do the calculations on the client (typically with javascript) or make another request to mapserver to do the calculations for you (which sort of defeats the purpose of image swapping).

This is working fine for larger scale images, but on small scale images, it appears to convert the feet to meters and then back to feet before sending the request on the the meters configuration.

The requires directive was mostly broken in 4.2 and probably 4.0. There were changes made in portions of the code that made requires basically useless. The problem was only found and fixed right before 4.4 was released. I don't see anything obvious but let's try a couple of things and see if they help. 1) You don't need ()'s nor equality tests. So REQUIRES "([Buildings] = 1)" should be REQUIRES "[Buildings]" and REQUIRES "([Flood Zone] = 1)" should be REQUIRES "[Flood Zone]" 2) Try renaming "Buildings 0" to "Buildings_0". I'm thinking there may be an issue with some string comparisons someplace. Please try these one at a time and let me know how it goes.

It's in your mapserver source directory. On lines 249 and 250, you have : #define MS_MAXCLASSES 250 #define MS_MAXSTYLES 5 which means than a layer object can't have more than 250 classes (my settings here, default is 50) and a class object can't have more than 5 styles. In mapsymbol.h you have these : #define MS_MAXSYMBOLS 64 // maximum number of symbols in a symbol file #define MS_MAXVECTORPOINTS 100 // shade, marker and line symbol parameters #define MS_MAXSTYLELENGTH 10 I think your problem is around here. The solution is to change these default settings to more appropriate ones, and rebuild mapserver/mapscript Good luck then ! joerg pfeiffer wrote: > *********************** > Votre mail a ?t?t scann? par InterScan VirusWall. > ***********-*********** > > > unfortunately, I can't find map.c on my Suse 9.1 > and I also can't find more infos to MAX_CLASSES.. > > Which map.c file do you mean? > Could you specify it a little bit more?

Now in this dynamic layer i'm plotting some points using a symbol. The dbf file will have 3 fields vix. id,latitude,longitude. My requirement is to obtain the id of the point in the map the user is clicking so that i can use it for further processing like displaying some more data from the db which can be fetched using the id. Do i use template and then querybypoint or processtemplate - i tried but it gives me an error stating invalid header etc.. Can anyone advice how do i achieve the above mentioned requirement of mine.

I have been using mapserver for quite some time with shapefiles, and am quite pleased with its flexibility. I was wondering if it would be possible to add point data records, stored in a MySQL data base, to a map that was created by shapefiles. The records in mysql would be formatted as follows: point_id, x, y, attribute_1, ... this is not in the openGIS format that the myGIS connector is using, and so I wonder if it is even possible to get a 'list' of points like this into a mapserver application. I would like to use PHPmapscript, but i have problems running PHP as a CGI as opposed to the more traditional Apache DSO (maybe this problem has been solved...) any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Message-ID: Hi, we are trying out MapServer and it looks great! However, we plan to serve a lot of time-dependent raster layers (satellite images) both through WMS and WCS. Our images are store in files where the date is part of the filename (e.g. 2004-12-23.tif or similar). My understanding is that we need either a DB or a shapefile to index the time values. Is that right ? If this is true, this would be an inconvenience because each time we get a new image (and some are received every 30 minutes) we would have to update the DB or the shapefile. What about some way to use tokens in filenames ? For instance, we could write something like: LAYER NAME "meteosat" TYPE RASTER DATA "%YY%-%MM%-%DD%.tif" FILTER "%time%" END The idea being that the time filter item is automatically parsed in its components whose values are placed in the %YY%, %MM%, %DD% (and %HH%, %MI%, %SS% if present) tokens that are then plugged into the filename template provided by DATA to obtain the final filename to get. This would be a considerable simplification would it not ? Please advise.

When you pass additional parameters to a Mapserver based WMS or WCS service there are no "rules" on what format they can be. Any query string name=value pair will be substituted into most (not all) %name% tags found in the map file. So you can insist that your users pass: time=YY-MM-DD and in your map file use: DATA "%time%.tif" Or you could require year=YY&month=MM&day=DD and use %year%, %month%, etc. For a raster layer FILTER "%time%" would have not affect anyway.

I know that I must keep track of it on the client side since I am not refreshing the whole page, but I can't get it to work. I have tried using the below formula based on what I saw in both the mapserver source code and mapserv.js: function AdjustExtent(extent, width, height) { var cellsize = Math.max((extent[2] - extent[0])/width, (extent[3] - extent[1])/height); if(cellsize > 0) { var ox = Math.max((width - (extent[2] - extent[0])/cellsize)/2,0); var oy = Math.max((height - (extent[3] - extent[1])/cellsize)/2,0); extent[0] = extent[0] - ox*cellsize; extent[1] = extent[1] - oy*cellsize; extent[2] = extent[2] + ox*cellsize; extent[3] = extent[3] + oy*cellsize; } return(cellsize); } Here is the projection of my map file: PROJECTION "proj=longlat" "ellps=WGS84" END After the above function, I am converting to decimal degrees using these functions: function DetX(x) { var mapwidth = omaxx - ominx; var mappixel = mapwidth / 600; GIS_X = ominx + (x * mappixel); return GIS_X; } function DetY(y) { var mapheight = omaxy-ominy; var mappixel = mapheight / 500; GIS_Y = omaxy - (y * mappixel); return GIS_Y; } This does not seem to be working for me. Is there any call that I can make to the mapserver CGI to get the extents of the map? Thanks for your help.

Wim, The mapogr.cpp module really is C++ and requires a c++ compiler. However, you can invoke gcc on it, and if it is C++ enabled it will compile the module properly. The problem may arise later at link time. Linking using gcc instead of g++ (or c++ as it is sometimes available) will result in the executable not linking in C++ support libraries that are likely required by mapogr.cpp. To make this work you may need to find the name of the C++ support libraries and explicitly include them in the link. They are usually something like libstdc++.so so having -lstdc++ in the link line may be sufficient. To later these settings just edit the Makefile and alter all occurances of g++ to gcc and add -lstdc++ in the EXE_LDFLAGS variable. Note that it is rather unusual in my experience to have gcc installed without g++. This may indicate that your GCC was built without C++ support in which case you will not be able to include the OGR support in MapServer.

However, if you have it "in line" in the CONNECTION value of the layer in your .map file you could in theory use normal MapServer variable substitution to replace key values. Note that this can be tricky due to the multiple levels of escaping that apply (the SQL style escaping in the where clause itself, the XML escaping for the VRT fragment, and the .map file escaping required in string constants. I don't know exactly how .map file substitutation works unfortunately, so you will need to look that up in the reference documents ... or perhaps someone else will explain it. However, my advise would be to consider moving to MapScript before letting stuff get to complex in a static .map file approach. With MapScript you can apply arbitrary logic to form the OGR connection string (aka VRT data) without being restricted to simple substiution.

The only package I've been able to find that can do it is the Geo::Coder::US perl module from CPAN. The module has an import() function that can be used to generate a database for geocoding from TIGER/Line data files, and a geocode() function that can then geocode a given address. I've managed to build my own database and get my PHP/Mapscript to interface with the perl module for geocoding, but reverse would be much trickier. If you don't care much too much about accuracy, it would seem that the same alogorithm used to geocode could be reversed with a little work. If you've got good Perl skills, I'd suggest looking at the source for Geo::Coder:US.

I have tried to display the content of a NetCDF .nc file with MAPSERVER. The DODS seems to work: If I am using ogrinfo with appropriate parameters on DODS:http//..allnetworkstuff..file.nc?Depth[1,1,10][1,1,1] (or was it Depth[1:1:10][1:1:10] ? Sorry, I cannot remember at the moment) I see the following kind of output for the 10 items I requested: lat .... some_value_lat lon .... some_value_lon Depth .... some_value_depth POINT (some_value_lon some_value_lat) Now, my ideas was to display the depth chart via mapserver. The only examples I found have lines of code like these: CONNECTION ....(like the input for ogrinfo, but with 1000 times 1000 values) TYPE POINT DATA "Depth" CLASS COLOR 255 0 0 END All I see in the web browser (after putting the correct latlong values into the map file to view the area the latlong values specify in the NetCDF file) is then a rectangular area filled with red points. That makes me believe that in principle the connection, the .nc NetCDF file and the map file are ok. My QUESTION: How can I plot an image (color coded depth values) with this method? It would be great if anyone could help me here(e.g. some example code)!

Bart, Sorry about that. I neglected to get the FastCGI stuff into 4.4 in time. You might want to just use MapServer 4.5 (aka dev) which does have stubs in the nmake.opt for FastCGI support. It looks something like: # FastCGI Support # # Uncomment, and update accordingly. #FCGIDIR=C:\projects\fcgi-2.4.0 #FCGILIB=$(FCGIDIR)\libfcgi\Debug\libfcgi.lib #FCGIINC=-I$(FCGIDIR)\include #FCGIDEF=-DUSE_FASTCGI EXTERNAL_LIBS=$(GD_LIBS) $(TIFF_LIB) $(JPEG_LIB) \ $(PROJ_LIB) $(OGR_LIB) $(GDAL_LIB)\ $(CURL_LIB) $(MING_LIB) $(PDF_LIB) \ $(WINSOCK_LIB) $(POSTGIS_LIB) $(IMGGEN_LIB) $(ERR_LIB) \ $(ORACLE_LIB) $(SDE_LIB) $(ICONV_LIB) $(FCGILIB) NCLUDES=$(GD_INC) $(TIFF_INC) $(JPEG_INC) \ $(PROJ_INC) $(REGEX_INC) $(GDAL_INC) $(OGR_INC) \ $(CURL_INC) $(MING_INC) $(PDF_INC) $(POSTGIS_INC) \ $(IMGGEN_INC) $(ERR_INC) $(ORACLE_INC) $(SDE_INC)\ $(ICONV_INC) $(FCGIINC) MS_DEFS = $(REGEX_OPT) $(STRINGS) $(POSTGIS) -DWIN32 -D_WIN32 \ $(EPPL) $(PROJ) $(TIFF) $(JPEG) $(GD) $(OGR) $(WMS) \ $(WMSCLIENT) $(MING) $(IGNORE_MISSING_DATA) $(NEED_NONBLOCKING_STDERR) $(ENABLE_STDERR_DEBUG) \ $(GDAL) $(FCGIDEF) \ $(WFS) $(WFSCLIENT) $(WCS) $(PDF) $(EGIS) \ $(USE_GD_ANTIALIAS) $(ORACLE) $(MING_VERSION) $(SDE_OPT) $(ICONV) Let me know if you run into specific problems.

I have run into a problem runtime (in normal cgi mode, not fastcgi mode yet) not compile time. What I did was: -download fcgi-2.4.0 -nmake /f makefile.nt CFG=Debug -put your settings into the nmake.opt file Everything compiles perfectly, for running mapserv.exe I now needed two MSVC dll's: MSVCP60D.DLL and MSVCRTD.DLL (probably because of the debug mode of fcgi). When I try to run a WMS GetCapabilities, my capabilities are mucked up. If I comment the FASTCGI support in the makefile, and recompile, the WMS GetCapabilities work as expected. This is the mucked up part (the last line should be where UserLayer= ends): default default "0" UserStyle="1" RemoteWFS="0"/> Do you have any idea what's going on here?
