Merge shp file with opensource tool?

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

You can use the shptree utility, it comes e.g. with FWTools
(http://www.maptools.org/fwtools).

I would recommend indexing both your source shapefiles and your tileindex
shapefile.

But do check the contents of your tileindex dbf (field LOCATION) to make
sure a) it has absolute paths and b) that the values do not end with .shp
otherwise Mapserver won't find the qix file associated with the shapefile.

Best regards,
Bart

Thanks a lot Eijnden,
may I ask which way I can shptree my shapes in such case?
shptree every source shapes or shptree the tileindex shape and

and after just putting the line
TILEINDEX "/var/www/lazzate-map/dati/fotogrammetrico/foto_edifici"

is it?
