[Mapserver-users] OGR ovf access problem

[COUTUJF at dfo-mpo.gc.ca]

Hey Chip,
		thanks for the hint, but I do have the latest Mapserver
installed (4.2 beta). The only thing is I think that 4.2 beta still uses
GDAL 1.1.x, OpenEV currently uses GDAL 1.2.

I'm not sure if ovf files are only supported in 1.2. I think it should work
with 1.1 hence my version should be OK.

Anymore ideas?

Thanks,

JF

First, make sure that you are using the LATEST version of MapServer. This
only works w/ MapServer versions compile with newer versions of GDAL. If you
are using one of the pre-compliled binaries, then it's very likely you're
version is NOT recent enough. As of last week, I found that the only version
that would do this was the 4.2 beta version mapserver binary on DM Solutions
website.

My hunch is that if the ogrinfo tests worked OK, then it's probably that
your MS version doesn't have the right version of GDAL.

Hello list,
	I'm trying to access a distant Oracle database from Mapserver using
the ovf file and an ODBC connection. I tested the ovf file with ogrinfo as
per the WIKI and it worked OK. 

When I try to access the layer in mapserver I keep getting the following
error message:

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'sipa'. 
msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. Open failed for OGR connection `sipa.ovf'. File
not found or unsupported format. 


I did try to follow WIKI tip #1:

1.Enable mod_env 
2.add lines like: setenv ORACLE_HOME /path/ 
3.restart apache 

But I don't have Oracle installed on the webserver's machine, only the ODBC
driver. So I can't figure out what the path should be...

Must I install Oracle?


Thanks,


JF
