Subject: Zooming and Centering Question: Second Run
Message-ID: <SUN.1.MAY.2005.061143.0500.COVARIANCESHAW.CA>

Giridhar:
            I have never used zoompoint but, by my reading of the PHP
documentation, you can use it to zoom by a factor of the current scale
instead of specifying an actual scale. Other than that, the arguments are
identical.

Subject: HostGIS Linux 3.0 released
Message-ID: <SUN.1.MAY.2005.155537.0700.STIGMATA_BLACKANGELYAHOO.COM>

Hi, all. I'm proud to announce that HostGIS Linux 3.0
has been released. See http://www.hostgis.com for
details.

HostGIS Linux is a Linux distribution designed for map
service. Imagine this: Slackware Linux. MapServer.
PHP, Perl, Python and MapScript for all of them.
Already-working PostGIS and MySQL servers. PDFlib.
Webmin, phpMyAdmin, and phpPgAdmin. Demo programs.

And because we know what packages are important and
included only those, it's only a 240 MB download and
it takes about 1 minute to run through the interactive
part of the installation procedure.

Subject: escaping single quotes
Message-ID: <SUN.1.MAY.2005.225342.0400.ACESUARES.NL>


dear list,

I have the following situation:

1. a column in my shapefile (.dbf) that is called GEMNAAM
2. 482 gemeentes (counties), 3 of them starting with an ' (an apostroph or 
single quote).
3. a filter that looks like '[GEMNAAM]'='$gemnaam'
where $gemnaam iterates over (some of) the 482 gemeentes

The problem seems to be that the single quote in the $gemnaam is not being 
escaped, and I have no idea how to escape it.

Is there an escape mechanism for single quotes ?

I tried double quotes i.e. '[GEMNAAM]'="$gemnaam" but apparently to no 
avail.

Much obliged for any hint. (However, that won't bring back the past 4 
hours of my life).

Subject: PHP as Apache DSO, status?
Message-ID: <SUN.1.MAY.2005.212450.0700.STIGMATA_BLACKANGELYAHOO.COM>

Last I heard, a few months ago, it was unstable to run
MapScript with PHP as an Apache DSO. I just wanted to
check in and see whether I had missed anything.

Also a few months ago, I saw a mention somewhere (this
list, maybe?) of installing two PHPs: a CGI for
MapScript and a DSO for other stuff. Has anybody tried
this, and with what success?

Hi,
Running php as cgi (for mapscript) and DSO for other stuff is what you normally do. I've installed mapscript as DSO from the Debian testing distribution, and it seems to run ok - but I've not yet tried to put a big workload on it.

Subject: mapserv segfaults trying to get the query results of a native
 oracle spatial data source
In-Reply-To: <1114699352.4270f6585c2fa@webmail.univali.br>
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.105052.0200.MAPSERVERGEOWORLD.DE>

Hi Fernando,

thank you very much for your e-mail.
I tried the latest CVS version ($Id: maporaclespatial.c,v 1.26
2005/04/28 22:19:41 rodrigo Exp $) with the '--enable-point-z-m'
compiling flag but it did not change the situation.
Mapserver crashes when it try to access the search results with:

$shpobj = $Layer->getShape($oRes->tileindex,$oRes->shapeindex);

I also found, that nearly the hole map-object is empty when i add the
'--enable-point-z-m' compiling flag (see attached gdb output) and try to
access it with PHP Mapscript.

$map = ms_newMapObj('oracle_test_gk3.map') or die('Error.');
var_dump($map);

Removing this flag gives me the normal look.

Here is my oracle layer definition.
Yes i define a template, and no i did not define any filter parameter:

LAYER
     NAME Oracle
     STATUS DEFAULT
     TYPE POLYGON
     DEBUG ON
     CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
     CONNECTION "user/passwd at BOX.os"
     DATA "GEOMETRIE from FLURST USING SRID 82027"
     PROJECTION
       "init=epsg:31467"
     END
     CLASS
        NAME gw
        TEMPLATE "dummy.html"
        STYLE
           COLOR 192 192 192
           OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
        END
     END
  END


Should i open a bug on this?
Many thanks
Nicol

Subject: Transparent hatch patterns in MapServer
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.105713.0200.DEJAN.GAMBINPULA.HR>

Hi,

I would like to have a hatch for my polygon (for example a cross hatch)
that could be transparent, so that I can see an ortophoto tiff image on
the layer below. Is it possible? There is TRANSPARENT parameter in
Symbol reference but I don't know if this can solve my problem.

Thanks in advance

Dejan

Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.105728.0200.BENSYNCERAITSOLUTIONS.NL>

Hi Nicol,

In order to use query functionality you need to define a different DATA statement, something like:

DATA "GEOMETRIE from (SELECT * FROM FLURST) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 82027"

where ID is the name of your unique column (primary key most of the time).

Bart

Hi Fernando,

thank you very much for your e-mail.
I tried the latest CVS version ($Id: maporaclespatial.c,v 1.26
2005/04/28 22:19:41 rodrigo Exp $) with the '--enable-point-z-m'
compiling flag but it did not change the situation.
Mapserver crashes when it try to access the search results with:

$shpobj = $Layer->getShape($oRes->tileindex,$oRes->shapeindex);

I also found, that nearly the hole map-object is empty when i add the
'--enable-point-z-m' compiling flag (see attached gdb output) and try to
access it with PHP Mapscript.

$map = ms_newMapObj('oracle_test_gk3.map') or die('Error.');
var_dump($map);

Removing this flag gives me the normal look.

Here is my oracle layer definition.
Yes i define a template, and no i did not define any filter parameter:

LAYER
     NAME Oracle
     STATUS DEFAULT
     TYPE POLYGON
     DEBUG ON
     CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
     CONNECTION "user/passwd at BOX.os"
     DATA "GEOMETRIE from FLURST USING SRID 82027"
     PROJECTION
       "init=epsg:31467"
     END
     CLASS
        NAME gw
        TEMPLATE "dummy.html"
        STYLE
           COLOR 192 192 192
           OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
        END
     END
  END


Should i open a bug on this?
Many thanks
Nicol

Have a look at:

that should answer your question.

Hi,

I would like to have a hatch for my polygon (for example a cross hatch)
that could be transparent, so that I can see an ortophoto tiff image on
the layer below. Is it possible? There is TRANSPARENT parameter in
Symbol reference but I don't know if this can solve my problem.

Thanks in advance

Dejan

Subject: escaping single quotes
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.110853.0200.PSCOTTUWC.AC.ZA>

One word:

addslashes();

PHP does it for you with the function addslashes();
'[GEMNAAM]'= addslashes('$gemnaam');

dear list,

I have the following situation:

1. a column in my shapefile (.dbf) that is called GEMNAAM
2. 482 gemeentes (counties), 3 of them starting with an ' (an apostroph
or
single quote).
3. a filter that looks like '[GEMNAAM]'='$gemnaam'
where $gemnaam iterates over (some of) the 482 gemeentes

The problem seems to be that the single quote in the $gemnaam is not
being
escaped, and I have no idea how to escape it.

Is there an escape mechanism for single quotes ?

I tried double quotes i.e. '[GEMNAAM]'="$gemnaam" but apparently to no
avail.

Much obliged for any hint. (However, that won't bring back the past 4
hours of my life).

 Hi,

I am successfully tracing a line between 2 points on my map (I get the
coordinate from long and lat).
The line traced on the map is correct but is displayed as a straight line.
I was wondering if it was possible to add some "curve" to the line
displayed.
I am using $lineObj->add($oPoint);

Hi Bart, Fernando, List

thank you for your mail.
I changed the DATA statement according to your advice.
The statement is:
DATA "GEOMETRIE from (SELECT * FROM FLURST) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 82027"

Sadly this changes nothing. I further get a segfault.
Attached the new gdb output:

Subject: mapserv segfaults trying to get thequery results of a native
 oracle spati
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.112302.0200.BENSYNCERAITSOLUTIONS.NL>

Hi Nicol,

I have had similar crashes on Windows which were solved magically by compiling with Visual Studio 7 instead of 6. But for Fernando a similar situation on Linux worked fine.

Can you try the following data statement as a last resort:

DATA "GEOMETRIE from (SELECT ID, GEOMETRIE FROM FLURST) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 82027"

That used to work for me on Windows even with Visual Studio 6, but then you miss a lot of attribute info ofcourse.

Probably Fernando needs to step in and help, but in Brazil it is still quite early I guess :-)

Best regards,
Bart

Hi Bart, Fernando, List

thank you for your mail.
I changed the DATA statement according to your advice. 
The statement is:
DATA "GEOMETRIE from (SELECT * FROM FLURST) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 82027"

Sadly this changes nothing. I further get a segfault. 
Attached the new gdb output:

Hi Bart,

thanks again for your mail.
I changed the data statement one more time but unfortunately without
luck.

<short gdb output>

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 16384 (LWP 8480)]
msOracleSpatialLayerGetShape (layer=0x8285d60, shape=0x82ff510,
record=0) at maporaclespatial.c:2003
2003        msOracleSpatialDataHandler *dthand =
(msOracleSpatialDataHandler *)layerinfo->oradatahandlers;

</short gdb output>

Yes i think Fernando needs to step in.

Thanks again for your help
Nicol

Subject: Transparent hatch patterns inMapServer
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.120352.0200.DEJAN.GAMBINPULA.HR>

Well I have to admit I didn't find the answer in this document. I can
get hatch patterns shown well. For example I have used the symbol

SYMBOL
  NAME 'fill45'
  TYPE VECTOR
  POINTS
    0 5
    5 0
  END
END

and the class element:

CLASS
...
  COLOR 0 255 0
  OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 0
  SYMBOL 'fill45'
  ...
END

and I get green lines hatch pattern, but the space between the line is
filled with white colour, it is not transparent ie I can't see my tiff
that is below. Am I missing something? It is written at the end of the
document something about the current problems/issues that open symbols
are rendered incorrectly? Is it related?

Thanks very much

Dejan

Have a look at:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/cartographic-symbols.html

that should answer your question.

Hi,

I would like to have a hatch for my polygon (for example a cross hatch)
that could be transparent, so that I can see an ortophoto tiff image on
the layer below. Is it possible? There is TRANSPARENT parameter in
Symbol reference but I don't know if this can solve my problem.

Thanks in advance

Dejan

Hi

I am using a shapefile which contains cities and displaying the city names
as labels, and am having the problem that the city names which contain
international characters are not displaying correctly i.e. the wrong
characters are being used for the international characters.

Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem?

I couldn't find the solution by searching the archives or looking through
the mapserver documentation.

Many thanks

As far as I know, MapServer uses Unicode internally so maybe that is the
problem but I hope someone more experienced will give you an exact
answer.

Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.081409.0300.RTCASTRO2GMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I?m searching for the best architecture for my MapServer site. 

I?m with difficult to understand what is the difference between these
tools: Chameleon, MapLab, MapScript. Can anyone point me in the right
direction or send some documentation ?

My page will run on Windows. I want to build a page with PHP that will
display a mapfile with about 150 layers on Oracle Spatial or
Shapefile, with the following commands:

- Zoom in
- Zoom Out
- Full Extent
- Pan
- Identify
- Measure Distance
- Layer?s list loaded from mapfile and divided into groups (vector and raster)
- Show/Hide layer

Users will enter in the site by entering the main page (overview) or
by making a query on a Table and the clicking on "View Map" button
(direct view).

The page will be part of an Environmental Information System. 

Any ideas ? What?s the best option to me ?
I have experience in ArcIMS (C# Development), so I think when I
understand the architecture things will clear more rapidly.

Thanks in advance,

    Rodrigo

Hi,

Maplab is a tool mainly aimed at creating and managing Mapserver MAP files.

Mapscript is a SWIG-based (http://www.swig.org) or PHP interface to the Mapserver C core.

Chameleon is based on PHP/Mapscript (PHP/Mapscript is the engine of Chameleon) and is a toolkit to build webmapping applications fast using templates. ALl the functionality you need is part of Chameleon.

You can create your own Mapscript application, but it's a lot faster to build an application using Chameleon in my opinion.

Best regards,
Bart

Tried that, didn't work. A \' is not recognized by mapserver. 
Correct me if I am wrong.

I got the tip from some else (off-list) to us two single quotes in a row, 
like '[GEMNAAM]'=''s-Gravenhage'
Haven't tested it yet.

I would prefer that mapserver/mapscript would honour addslashes().

Two other things you could try:

use htmlspecialchars();

or str_replace the "'" with &apos;

That will make it look like &apos; . $gemnaam;

which will echo to 'genmaan

Thanks Stephane I have tried this and it works. I thought I have to deal with symbol parameters but this is even better.

Thanks very much

Try removing you COLOR attribute and i think there
is a TRANSPARENCE attibute in the layer object
the value is between 0 to 100 where 0 is opaque and 100 fully transparent

Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.071543.0500.RTCASTRO2GMAIL.COM>

Thanks Bart,

And about MapLab?s GMapFactory ? Isn?t similiar to Chameleon ?

That?s my doubt:

1) Build my own mapscript application  OR
2) Use Chameleon ou GMapFactory

Maybe the first option will be slower at start, by will give me more
flexibility and scalability in the feature. I?m afraid of use a 3rd party
solution (ex: Chameleon), have a fast start but after 1 month discover
that I have some limitations that I will not have building my own
mapscript application.

What is your sugestion ?

Thanks again,

Subject: imagemap
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.143345.0200.KNOZIGMX.AT>

Hi list,
I'm trying to get the imagemap function working. I can create an output and
an imagemap but the ids to the single polygons are missing. How do I get the
ids into the href of the imagemap? The ids should come out of the database.

html-source:
now:
<area href="map.php?id=" title="" shape="poly" coords=" 616,165, 616,167,
613,168, 612,169, 616,165" />
<area href="/map.php?id=" title="" shape="poly" coords=", 607,164, 609,167,
608,168, 608,169, 612,173, 607,164" />

should be:
<area href="map.php?id=state01" title=" state01" shape="poly" coords="
616,165, 612,169, 616,165" />
<area href="/map.php?id=state02" title=" state02" shape="poly" coords=",
607,164, 612,173, 607,164" />


I have a mapfile with the outputformat and one layer defined:

...

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME imagemap
  DRIVER imagemap
  MIMETYPE text/html
  FORMATOPTION "POLYHREF=/verifier/map.php?state=%s"
  FORMATOPTION "SYMBOLHREF=#"
  FORMATOPTION "MAPNAME=image_map"
  FORMATOPTION "TITLE=image_map"
  FORMATOPTION "POLYMOUSEOUT=return nd();"
  FORMATOPTION "POLYMOUSEOVER=return overlib('%s');"
END

LAYER
    CONNECTION "user=user password=pwd dbname=db host=localhost"
    CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
    DATA "the_geom from gd_poly_002"
    NAME "see01"
    STATUS ON
    TYPE POLYGON
    UNITS METERS

    CLASS
      NAME "class0"
      STYLE
          COLOR 189 215 231
       SYMBOL 0
      END
    END
  END
...

Thanks,
Gernot

I think Chameleon replaces GMapFactory, but maybe DMSG has a different vision to this.

Chameleon offers a lot of flexibility in my opinion, you can build your own widgets inside the Chameleon system. My advice would be to start looking at Chameleon.

Geez.  If I'd seen this maybe we wouldn't have been running this way for
the last couple of years!

We don't do as much mapscript as mapserver cgi, more a mix/match as
needed.  However, we've not seen any problems.

Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.095909.0300.FSIMONUNIVALI.BR>

Hi Nicol and Bart,
    It's a strange problem for Linux box, what GCC are you using, 4.0?
    I will check this problem, I saw a problem here with query's when I
defined a filter parameter for my layer. But it isn't the problem in
your case, or did you denine any filter for the layer in your mapscript?.
    Here I used in a project this code to retrieve the data from Oracle
layer:
$camada->open();
for($i = 0; $i < $total_results; $i++)
{
            $sindex = $camada->getResult($i);
            $result = $camada->getShape(-1,$sindex->shapeindex);
            if ($result->type == 0)
            {
                $x = $result->bounds->minx;
                $y = $result->bounds->miny;
                $ponto_temp = ms_newpointObj();
                $ponto_temp->setXY($x, $y);
                if ($rectangle->contains($ponto_temp))
                {
                    $arraytmp =
array($result->values[$nm_campo_sel],$result->values[$desc]);
                    array_push($resultado_selecao[$nm_campo_array],
$arraytmp);
                }
                $ponto_temp->free();
            }
            else
            {
                if(($rectangle->intersects($result) == MS_TRUE))
                {
                    $arraytmp =
array($result->values[$nm_campo_sel],$result->values[$desc]);
                    array_push($resultado_selecao[$nm_campo_array],
$arraytmp);
                }
            }
            $result->free();
}
$camada->close();

    In this code I executed a "open" before retrieve the shapes ($camada
is a layerobj). Did you execute this function before the getshape? (I
used "-1" for tile index too).
    The problem with Oracle Spatial and  "--enable-point-z" flag was
solved, you can see this in #1244 Mapserver bugzilla.
    Thanks.

First of all, you need to specify in the mapfile what character set
the labeldata is in. Then you need a font that supports international
characters.

I had a lot of problems trying to display Norwegian charcters, until I
realised that the bitmap fonts doesn't support them. I then switched
to a truetype font, and everything worked as expected.

Here's an example of my label class:

LABEL
  ENCODING LATIN1
  color 0 0 0
  outlinecolor 255 255 255
  type truetype
  font arialbd
  size 10
  PARTIALS FALSE
  BUFFER 1
END

Of course, this also requires that I have specified a fontset in the
mapfile, like this:

FONTSET "fonts/fonts.list"

and this file must include an entry that maps "arialbd" to a ttf-file

arialbd  arialbd.ttf


Finally, you also need the actual ttf-file. I can't help you with
that, I'm afraid.

I changed the data statement but nothing happened. It is still the same map
as before (without the ids). Can I define a column in the database which
will be taken by the imagemap for inserting the ids?

I think that the data return by '%s' in imagemap format is the first 
filed of your datasource.

with a DATA pattern like this : DATA "geom from (select oid, geom from 
geom_table) as foo"
you will gt what you want

Subject: mapserv segfaults trying to get thequery results of a native
 oracle spati
In-Reply-To: <4276241D.8010504@univali.br>
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.154334.0200.MAPSERVERGEOWORLD.DE>

Hi Fernando,

thank you for your answer!
I found a problem in my code.
I opened the layer before i send the query. I changed this to:

$status = $Layer -> queryByPoint($geometrie, MS_MULTIPLE, 100);
$Layer->open();
for($j = 0;$j < $Layer->getNumResults(); $j++) {
   $oRes = $Layer->getResult($j);
   $shpobj = $Layer->getShape($oRes->tileindex,$oRes->shapeindex);
   $shpobj->free();
}
$Layer->close();

Now i get a mapserver error message:

Fatal error: [MapServer Error]: msOracleSpatialLayerGetShape(): Error:
ORA-01722: Ungultige Zahl . Query statement: SELECT ID, INFOTEXT,
BESCHRIFT, GEOMETRIE FROM (SELECT * FROM FLURST) WHERE ID = 0 .Check
your data statement.

Here is my data statement:
DATA "GEOMETRIE from (SELECT * FROM FLURST) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 82027"

The value of the variable '$oRes' are:

stdClass Object
(
    [shapeindex] => 0
    [tileindex] => -1
    [classindex] => 0
)

How do i have to change the data statement to get a valid shapeindex?

I'am not sure that the solution found for bug #1244 solves my problem
with the "--enable-point-z" flag. I use the latest cvs version which
should contain the fix, right?

Many thanks for your help
Nicol

That is one way to look at it. I don't think we ever thought of
replacing GMapFactory - GMapFactory is still useful for people who don't
care to customize their application (it does offer options for layout,
however to add more options you would have to dive deep into
phpmapscript code).  Chameleon offers many more 'widgets' (mapping
functionality), allows for custom widget additions (as Bart mentioned),
and is constantly growing through development.

Not to start a distro war or anything...

I have set up mapserver et al on RH9, debian, Mandrake and Windows.

By far the best experience I had was with Mandrake 10 and 10.1, however
as a production server I would think twice about that choice, rather go
with debian.

Nice thing about debian is that there is now a debian GIS repository
that is pretty actively maintained, so it makes life VERY easy when you
can simply apt-get install mapserver!

I had the most problems with Windows, but that may be that I am just not
a Windows person, I like the command line, so I may be a touch biased ;>

Andy,

It depends on your comfort level and experience with Windows or with
other operating systems, like Linux (Redhat, Debian, Mandrake, etc),
FreeBSD or Mac OS X. Do *you* have a preference?

The MapServer list will give you enough support whatever the operating
system you use.

Andy -
 
It is the operating system and Web server configuration you know best.
MapServer is a relatively straightforward CGI application, so the issues
users most commonly have involve proper Web server
setup/configuration/security; they're really not MapServer issues.  If
you're going to be a MapScript user, the issues there are mostly around
integration with the scripting engine and Web server, so it's easiest to
work with the servers you know.
 
The one area I have found most different is the general neglect of
library developers for Windows builds.  There's nothing mysterious about
Windows makefiles, but some supporting libraries simply ignore them or
(worse) ship defective ones.  It's a sad commentary that the very simple
regex-0.12 library has probably caused more problems per line of code
simply because the Windows makefile is messed up.  However, the recent
availability of prebuilt binaries for Windows (and other platforms) may
reduce or eliminate this issue entirely.

Hi Nicol,
    You can change the data parameter for any sql that return a geometry
type.  In your case you can add "WHERE" inside the data stmt, like:
DATA "GEOMETRIE from (SELECT ID, INFOTEXT, BESCHRIFT, GEOMETRIE FROM
FLURST WHERE ID > 0) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 82027"
    Here I don't use the "select *", but you can use without problem.
    About the example, you can define your sql with where's, join's,
functions and spatial functions between the "(" and ")". The
maporaclespatial.c don't change this sql, it's mount the internal sql
using your sql as base.
    Just as hint, the column that you define as UNIQUE, ID in your case,
must be a numeric type. Only numbers, and it's need to be unique
identifiers for your table. More one hint, you can start your counter
"j" with 1 and test the if occur the same problem.
    Thanks.

Mandrake comes with pre-compiled Mapserver binaries with basic capabilities
fit for most needs. Saves you time compiling.

So far I have only set it up on Windows but I want to set it up at home now 
on my home server. The only preferences I have is that it not be a Windows 
OS, it must be able to run Tomcat as well as Apache, and it must be able to 
compile the PHP/Mapscript version of Mapserver. Does this filter it down at 
all to a certain distro? 

I had considered Sun Solaris 10 but so far I have heard virtually no 
feedback on how well Mapserver runs on Solaris 10.

Hi Fernando,
is it mandatory to use numeric field types as UNIQUE column in the data
statement? At the moment i use a character field. I assume this is the
reason for the wrong shapeindex value, right?

In my opinion, the easiest map-serving OS is HostGIS
Linux. I posted to the list about our 3.0 release
yesterday.

It's Slackware Linux, with MapServer, etc already set
up, including sample apps. 220 MB download, takes
about 1 minute to get through the interactive part of
the install.

Giridhar,

My problem was the projection as described by Sean (Thanks!)

I'm passing the latitude and longitude of the 4 corners to the browser.
I still calculate the lat and lon of each point, from these corner points.
So that sounds like what you are already doing?

Thanks

Troy,
Did you try $map->extent after the zooming? I thought this is working
for me. Let me know how it goes.

Also, I thought we always have the image coordinates with us and not
latitude and longitude on the browser. Because, I always use the image
coordinates and convert them into latitude and longitude. How did you
manage to get latitude and longitude without knowing the image
coordinates? Knowing this,  would do a lot of good to me.

Thanks,

You have to use
FILTERITEM   "column with your id"
in your layer definition.

Hi Nicol,
    Yes, is mandatory to use numeric type for UNIQUE column. I use this
way because mapserver use the internal shapeindex as a long type.
     The character field can be the problem in your case.
     Thanks.

I don't know if these RPMs will work with SuSE, but I maintain a
repository of GIS RPMs at:

    http://mappinghacks.com/rpm/

Some of the RPMs are a little out of date atm - I have to carve out
some time to do maintenance on the archive shortly.

This was from September 2004, and all I have to go by
is what leftovers are still in my Sent folder.

Ultimately, looking back at it, Don *did* get it to
work, by experimenting with versions. He used GEOS
2.0.0 and PostGIS 0.9.0 This was under SPARC Solaris
9.

Also, we had many compile problems (apparently
configure issues) with GDAL 1.2.x and GEOS 2.1.x under
SPARC Solaris.

Any or all of these issues may have been corrected by
now. If anyone is using GDAL, PostGIS, etc. on
Solaris, I'd love to hear what versions you're using
and how easy/difficult it was.

I want a more scalable solution. So I?l try MapEdit/MapBrowse to create my

If things become complicated I?l try GMapFactory with phpmapscript

If anyone has any other solution I?d like to hear.

Gregor and all,
I went to that page Gregor linked and that sounds like it will save me a ton 
of time. I will probably use that then and if I can't get Tomcat running on 
it I'll just put Solaris 10 on another box and run my jsp stuff from that 
box and fiddle with trying to get a Mapserver build up and going for Solaris 
10 when I have time later on.
Thanks,

Subject: Shapefile vs PostGIS
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.115727.0500.CARLOS_MSFAEIOU.PT>

Hello to all,

I wanted some help in defining wich data format to work with in a web
mapping tool. More accurately, I wanted to understand the advantages of
using PostGIS (if any) over using shapefiles.

1: I have installed the package of MapServerForWindows(MS4W) with support
for PostGIS and it seems to me that the server takes more time showing
data recorded in the Postgre/PostGIS database then data recorded in
shapefile. Is this true?

2: Is it faster to make spatial queries through the Postgre/PostGIS
capabilities or make all the queries through the MapServer engine?

3: To the ones using Postgre/PostGIS, tell me please the main advantages
and core limitations you have encountered.

Thank you in advance.

Carlos

Hi Tom. Good to hear from you again...

1. Yes, I've pulled up the XML doc directly in my browser.
2. Tried the &styles=myStyle... Mapserver responds with an error:
        msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): Invalid style (myStyle).
   And goes on to indicate that Mapserver only supports default styles (i.e.
a keyword Default) or an
   empty string. Note that this error message is embedded in the image
returned by Mapserver, not just a text
   error message.
3. Tried the <IsDefault> element with no change in the response.

...scratching my head...

Rod,

1./ does the SLD indeed reside at http://localhost/test_sld.xml ?

2./ in your GetMap request, have you tried
"...styles=myStyle&sld=http://localhost/test_sld.xml..." (note it should
be "styles=", not "style=" ?

3./ Try inserting this element in the UserStyle element (after the
"Name" element)

<IsDefault>1</IsDefault>

Subject: WMS GetMap not using Lat/Lon projection
Message-ID: <MON.2.MAY.2005.153141.0400.MCGRAWJAGR.GC.CA>

Hello all,

 

I'm hoping someone can help with two problems I am having, both of which are related to projections.

 

1. My first problem is a map file I created in which I set the Map object's projection to "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27) and it contains a layer for a shapefile whose projection is "init=epsg:4269" (Lat/Long, NAD83). When I try to display this layer using map mode with MapServer on my local machine it works, but it will not work on our corporate server. All other layers (that are also Lat/Long, NAD27) in the map file work. I am running MapServer version 4.4.1 for Windows on my local machine, but am running 4.4.0 for Linux on our corporate server. Is this a known problem? And, if so, is there a workaround besides upgrading the 4.4.0 installation to 4.4.1? 

 

2. I created the pei.map file listed below. The map's projection is set to "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27) and it contains a layer for a shapefile whose projection is also "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27). This layer also provides WMS support. 

 

In a web browser, I use the following URLs to display the data...first using map mode and second using WMS' GetMap capabilities:

 

1. To display Map mode results (see MapMode.png for image):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&mode=map&layer= peiLayer 

 

2. To display WMS GetMap image (see GetMap.png for image):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers= peiLayer 

 

When I compare the images generated by these two different processes, the one generated for Map mode appears to display in lat/long, however, the WMS GetMap data seems to be getting projected. To what projection, I have no idea but the differences can be seen in the two attached images "MapMode.png" and "GetMap.png." This behaviour occurs on both my 4.4.1 and 4.4.0 servers. 

 

Why are the two outputs displaying the data differently?

 

Any pointers that will help with these problems is greatly appreciated.

I am displaying a DEM raster file in Mapserver. I am able to display

Hi,

1) can your server access the PROJ library? Is the PROJ_LIB variable set?

2) officially your WMS request is not valid. You always need to specify the reference system you want to use, ie SRS, maybe Mapserver defaults to EPSG:4326 for WMS which explains the reprojection.

Bart

Hi,
The mapscript installed as DSO I referring to is not from the debian
testing (sarge) distribution, but from the Debian GIS project at
http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

sorry about that.

I've put some of my experience on installing mapscript on my site
http://maplink.sourceforge.net/

Hi,
Running php as cgi (for mapscript) and DSO for other stuff is what you normally do. I've installed mapscript as DSO from the Debian testing distribution, and it seems to run ok - but I've not yet tried to put a big workload on it.

Last I heard, a few months ago, it was unstable to run
MapScript with PHP as an Apache DSO. I just wanted to
check in and see whether I had missed anything.

Also a few months ago, I saw a mention somewhere (this
list, maybe?) of installing two PHPs: a CGI for
MapScript and a DSO for other stuff. Has anybody tried
this, and with what success?

Hi All !

When I try to visualize a tiff (I've read

nothing is rendered...

My TIFF is coded in 24 bits. Is it why it doesn't work? MapServer supports
only 16 bits TIFF??

Thanks!

We have been successful installing GEOS 2.1.1, Postgres-8.0.1 and Postgis
1.0RC6 on Solaris 8. We initially tried to use Sun's own compiler and
linker, but this proved to be very problematic. We then tried GCC and the
Solaris linker but this still caused problems since the Solaris linker
doesn't support some of the library symbol export functions that the GNU
linker does. Once we were using both GCC and the GNU linker then it became
very easy to install. When compiling postgres, one thing we did was to
specify the environment variable LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ when running the configure
script as specified in the Postgis documentation.

Dear Virginie,

Mapserver nativly supports 16 bits TIFs, but gdal supports 24 bits.
You should configure mapserver --without-tiff and --with-gdal to use
24 bits tiffs.

Hi,

you are using Mapbender, most of the people on this list are not familiar with Mapbender, but Mapbender uses PHP/Mapscript. Have you tried this on the Mapbender list?

Do you know how to get a Mapserver MAP file generated by Mapbender? Without a generated MAP file it will be hard for the Mapserver list to track down the problem.

If you have a MAP file and a GetCapabilities document from your local Deegree WMS service we might be able to help.

Hi everyone,

I finally got Pyhton Mapscript up and running. After I had installed the
FWTools version, I still had the same problem. However, the cgitb tip proved
very useful. Now I could see which dll was missing and it was the mapscript
module. Apparently, Apache couldn't find it (I think it doesn't recognize
the PythonPath environment variable). But it did find the cgitb module, so I
put mapscript.py, _mapscript.pyd and mapscript.pyc in the same directory as
cgitb.py. And now Python Mapscript is working just fine. 

This is what I have done:
- Install Apache HTTP server 1.3
- Install FWTools 0.9.6 
- Configure Apache so that it will run Python scripts as CGI (httpd.conf)
- Fiddle around with the path and pythonpath environment variables and dll
names to get Mapscript working from the Python command line
- Copy mapscript.py etc. as explained earlier.

Maybe I will look into this last step. I don't think it is a very neat
solution, but for now I am just glad evrything is working. Thank you very
much for your help!

Kind regards,

Bas Vanmeulebrouk.

Bas,

Look at Python's cgitb module.  It will allow your CGI script to return  
a more informative traceback.

Another thing to check is that the PATH, PROJ_LIB, and other variables  
are properly set for the Apache user's environment.

I got multiple result with queryByAtributes (a path with many lines),
and I?d like to zoom at the result... I got the result?s bounds, but
when I setExtent with the values, the zoom cut off some lines... With
a single result, the zoom works fine... Any idea?

Thank you

Hi,

Is it possible to export an ArcMap .mxd to a mapfile (.map) ? Is there any
utility to do this job ? My mxd has only shapefile layers.

I can use MapLab to speed up mapfile generation, but this kind of utility
would by great.

Thanks in advance,

    Rodrigo

Dear Rodrigo,

we are just in the last work for the release of the (OS-) software
"AmeiN!". This is a tool
which allows to convert the actual dataframe from arcmap (v9 incl. sp
II) - including
most of the symbols - into an umn mapserver file.

We plan to release the v1.0 by mid of May (I can show it on the OS 05 as
well) - look
on sourceforge for AveiN! which was the old version for ArcView 3.x and
you'll find AmeiN!
there by end of next week. It's in german and english.

Greetings, Till

Hi Rodrigo,

I think this kind of tool will be a huge sucess. In fact, I didn't heard
about such a tool.

"AveIN" can do this for ArcView 3.x projects. And I also heard about
"AmeIN" - ( an "AveIN for ArcGIS" ) but don't know
how is its current status.

In fact, you could also play with QGIS and Thuban ( not today, but
MapFiles generations is already in its roadmap ) do create MapFile
skeletons.

People always ask for ArcGIS because of its nice simbology, I think.
But, I think JUMP can also offer very nice simbologies,
and in its case, a plugin for JUMP I think may work.

best regards.

Hi,

also gix had plans to do this (ArcGIS version), but I can't find those plans anymore on the site (it was supposed to be sponsored by DM Solutions Group if I recall correctly), so I don't know if those plans ever came to realization:

Good news.  You should read about Apache's SetEnv directive.  It will
help you properly set the PYTHONPATH, PATH, and FWTools environments

Subject: WMS GetMap not using Lat/Lonprojection
Message-ID: <TUE.3.MAY.2005.095210.0400.MCGRAWJAGR.GC.CA>

Hello Bart,

Thank you for responding. I've tried implementing your suggestions. But, have had no luck so far.
 
1. In my map file, I added a config line within the map object: 

    config      PROJ_LIB /usr/local/proj-4.4.5/nad/

And have verified that the epsg data file actually exists there. The NAD83 still does not appear when I try to display the layer in map mode. There is no error or anything, just a blank display as though the contents simply don't fall within the extents of the map (I have triple checked this possibility).


2. I have changed my GetMap request to read (note the srs parameter at the end):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=peiLayer&srs=epsg:4267

The WMS GetMap request still seems to be projecting the output. I don't believe it is defaulting to a lat/long of any kind. The attached image (the result of the GetMap request) looks more like an lcc or utm of some kind.

Any other ideas? I have to admit I am less concerned about the first problem, as it may just be a bug that has been taken care of in a later version. The WMS GetMap request is a little disconcerting though, particularly now that I am specifically requesting "srs=epsg:4267" and it doesn't appear to be returning it to me in that projection.

Cheers,
jtm

Hi,

1) can your server access the PROJ library? Is the PROJ_LIB variable set?

2) officially your WMS request is not valid. You always need to specify the reference system you want to use, ie SRS, maybe Mapserver defaults to EPSG:4326 for WMS which explains the reprojection.

Hello all,

 

I'm hoping someone can help with two problems I am having, both of which are related to projections.

 

1. My first problem is a map file I created in which I set the Map object's projection to "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27) and it contains a layer for a shapefile whose projection is "init=epsg:4269" (Lat/Long, NAD83). When I try to display this layer using map mode with MapServer on my local machine it works, but it will not work on our corporate server. All other layers (that are also Lat/Long, NAD27) in the map file work. I am running MapServer version 4.4.1 for Windows on my local machine, but am running 4.4.0 for Linux on our corporate server. Is this a known problem? And, if so, is there a workaround besides upgrading the 4.4.0 installation to 4.4.1? 

 

2. I created the pei.map file listed below. The map's projection is set to "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27) and it contains a layer for a shapefile whose projection is also "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27). This layer also provides WMS support. 

 

In a web browser, I use the following URLs to display the data...first using map mode and second using WMS' GetMap capabilities:

 

1. To display Map mode results (see MapMode.png for image):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&mode=map&layer= peiLayer 

 

2. To display WMS GetMap image (see GetMap.png for image):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=peiLayer 

 

When I compare the images generated by these two different processes, the one generated for Map mode appears to display in lat/long, however, the WMS GetMap data seems to be getting projected. To what projection, I have no idea but the differences can be seen in the two attached images "MapMode.png" and "GetMap.png." This behaviour occurs on both my 4.4.1 and 4.4.0 servers. 

 

Why are the two outputs displaying the data differently?

 

Any pointers that will help with these problems is greatly appreciated.

Hello Bart,

Thank you for responding. I've tried implementing your suggestions. But, have had no luck so far.
 
1. In my map file, I added a config line within the map object: 

    config      PROJ_LIB /usr/local/proj-4.4.5/nad/

And have verified that the epsg data file actually exists there. The NAD83 still does not appear when I try to display the layer in map mode. There is no error or anything, just a blank display as though the contents simply don't fall within the extents of the map (I have triple checked this possibility).


2. I have changed my GetMap request to read (note the srs parameter at the end):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=peiLayer&srs=epsg:4267

The WMS GetMap request still seems to be projecting the output. I don't believe it is defaulting to a lat/long of any kind. The attached image (the result of the GetMap request) looks more like an lcc or utm of some kind.

Any other ideas? I have to admit I am less concerned about the first problem, as it may just be a bug that has been taken care of in a later version. The WMS GetMap request is a little disconcerting though, particularly now that I am specifically requesting "srs=epsg:4267" and it doesn't appear to be returning it to me in that projection.

Cheers,
jtm

Hi,

1) can your server access the PROJ library? Is the PROJ_LIB variable set?

2) officially your WMS request is not valid. You always need to specify the reference system you want to use, ie SRS, maybe Mapserver defaults to EPSG:4326 for WMS which explains the reprojection.

Hello all,

 

I'm hoping someone can help with two problems I am having, both of which are related to projections.

 

1. My first problem is a map file I created in which I set the Map object's projection to "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27) and it contains a layer for a shapefile whose projection is "init=epsg:4269" (Lat/Long, NAD83). When I try to display this layer using map mode with MapServer on my local machine it works, but it will not work on our corporate server. All other layers (that are also Lat/Long, NAD27) in the map file work. I am running MapServer version 4.4.1 for Windows on my local machine, but am running 4.4.0 for Linux on our corporate server. Is this a known problem? And, if so, is there a workaround besides upgrading the 4.4.0 installation to 4.4.1? 

 

2. I created the pei.map file listed below. The map's projection is set to "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27) and it contains a layer for a shapefile whose projection is also "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27). This layer also provides WMS support. 

 

In a web browser, I use the following URLs to display the data...first using map mode and second using WMS' GetMap capabilities:

 

1. To display Map mode results (see MapMode.png for image):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&mode=map&layer= peiLayer 

 

2. To display WMS GetMap image (see GetMap.png for image):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=peiLayer 

 

When I compare the images generated by these two different processes, the one generated for Map mode appears to display in lat/long, however, the WMS GetMap data seems to be getting projected. To what projection, I have no idea but the differences can be seen in the two attached images "MapMode.png" and "GetMap.png." This behaviour occurs on both my 4.4.1 and 4.4.0 servers. 

 

Why are the two outputs displaying the data differently?

 

Any pointers that will help with these problems is greatly appreciated.

Hello Bart,

Thank you for responding. I've tried implementing your suggestions. But, have had no luck so far.
 
1. In my map file, I added a config line within the map object: 

    config      PROJ_LIB /usr/local/proj-4.4.5/nad/

And have verified that the epsg data file actually exists there. The NAD83 still does not appear when I try to display the layer in map mode. There is no error or anything, just a blank display as though the contents simply don't fall within the extents of the map (I have triple checked this possibility).


2. I have changed my GetMap request to read (note the srs parameter at the end):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=peiLayer&srs=epsg:4267 

The WMS GetMap request still seems to be projecting the output. I don't believe it is defaulting to a lat/long of any kind. The attached image (the result of the GetMap request) looks more like an lcc or utm of some kind.

Any other ideas? I have to admit I am less concerned about the first problem, as it may just be a bug that has been taken care of in a later version. The WMS GetMap request is a little disconcerting though, particularly now that I am specifically requesting "srs=epsg:4267" and it doesn't appear to be returning it to me in that projection.

Cheers,
jtm

Hi,

1) can your server access the PROJ library? Is the PROJ_LIB variable set?

2) officially your WMS request is not valid. You always need to specify the reference system you want to use, ie SRS, maybe Mapserver defaults to EPSG:4326 for WMS which explains the reprojection.

Hello all,

 

I'm hoping someone can help with two problems I am having, both of which are related to projections.

 

1. My first problem is a map file I created in which I set the Map object's projection to "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27) and it contains a layer for a shapefile whose projection is "init=epsg:4269" (Lat/Long, NAD83). When I try to display this layer using map mode with MapServer on my local machine it works, but it will not work on our corporate server. All other layers (that are also Lat/Long, NAD27) in the map file work. I am running MapServer version 4.4.1 for Windows on my local machine, but am running 4.4.0 for Linux on our corporate server. Is this a known problem? And, if so, is there a workaround besides upgrading the 4.4.0 installation to 4.4.1? 

 

2. I created the pei.map file listed below. The map's projection is set to "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27) and it contains a layer for a shapefile whose projection is also "init=epsg:4267" (Lat/Long, NAD27). This layer also provides WMS support. 

 

In a web browser, I use the following URLs to display the data...first using map mode and second using WMS' GetMap capabilities:

 

1. To display Map mode results (see MapMode.png for image):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&mode=map&layer= peiLayer 

 

2. To display WMS GetMap image (see GetMap.png for image):

http://wms1.agr.gc.ca/cgi-bin/://localhost/cgi-bin/mapsrv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OWS_TestData/map/pei.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=peiLayer 

 

When I compare the images generated by these two different processes, the one generated for Map mode appears to display in lat/long, however, the WMS GetMap data seems to be getting projected. To what projection, I have no idea but the differences can be seen in the two attached images "MapMode.png" and "GetMap.png." This behaviour occurs on both my 4.4.1 and 4.4.0 servers. 

 

Why are the two outputs displaying the data differently?

 

Any pointers that will help with these problems is greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

jtm

You probably need to generate the map at a larger extent, then clip the
map back to the pixels you want. This will require a little math and
some trial and error to figure out how much more and how to clip it.

Mapserver is very efficient at excluding objects that are outside the
bounding box of the image you are trying to render. When you zoom in to
street level 99.99% of the map objects are out side the image in a US
map and you would not want mapserver to look through all those object to
see if half dozen more might impact the image.

Also for lines the cross the image frame, they are clipped so the label
point will move about because of the clipping.

What are you trying to do? Generate image tiles the align with one
another like google maps?

Joanne,

The critical item for the layer in question is whether the
ntv1_can.dat file (or better yet ntv2_0.gsb) exists 
in the directory /usr/local/proj-4.4.5/nad.  This is not
installed by default with PROJ.4 - you need to separately
download the datum shift files and unpack them before 
configuring and installing PROJ.4.   

Assuming you have the ntv1_can.dat file on your development
server, you can just copy that one file over to your corporate
server if you want.

Yes, I am building image tiles to produce large pdf files, since I
have some problems I mailed to the list a view weeks ago:

-------------------
I have a polygon layer with TRANSPARENCY 50 that lay on top over
a raster layer. While it renders as expected to png the polygon
are opaque when renderd to pdf. Despite using FORMATOPTION
"OUTPUT_TYPE=RASTER"
or not.

The raster layers are rendered internally to jpeg because of the
absence of inmemory opening of png images in former pdflib versions.
Since the newest library (6.01, I don't know until wich version it worked)
supports this, I tested the rendering to pdf over png. Which give me a lot
of better quality as the jpeg pdf but don't helped me with the transpareny
issue.
--------------------

Do you see a solution concerning the builtin pdf problem?

Best regards,
Jochen

Nuno,

it would help if those links worked, or you included a snapshot in the

open for it:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1049

sumary: at larger zoom scales, the grid lines get off the interval
values - instead of 1d30' (for a 30' interval) I get something like
1d29'59".  It gets worse the larger the zoom:

The heavy grey lines are where the lighter grid lines should be (this
is a 7.5 minute grid - USGS topo quads).

I'm still waiting for someone to fix this bug.  Is this what you're
seeing?

Hi Frank,

Is simply copying this file enough? Or, do I also need to add some
indication that the grid shifts should be used somehow? 

The reason I ask is that I tried just copying the file and it hasn't had
any effect. I was reading the "nadgrids - Grid Based Datum Adjustments"
section at http://proj.maptools.org/gen_parms.html and was wondering if
I should be creating a new definition (with the +to NAD27 from NAD83) in
the epsg file and using that as the projection definition.

Is the use of this data file something that has been introduced
recently; that is, post-MapServer 4.4.0? Perhaps, it is just not being
referred to in the version I have?

Cheers,
jtm

There is no error or anything, just a blank display as though the

Joanne, 

I think just copying it should be fine. 

Internally +datum=NAD27 is defined as:

+nadgrids=@conus, at alaska, at ntv2_0.gsb, at ntv1_can.dat

That is, it searches for the conus, alaska, ntv2_0.gsb and then
ntv1_can.dat files till it finds a file overlapping the region to 
be converted.  So you shouldn't need to do anything special
to use this file. 

If it still isn't worked, I am somewhat confused.   I am assuming
that MapServer is able to load the epsg file which is the
same directory, so it shouldn't be a permissions problem on
the directory path, though you might want to check the permissions
on the ntv1_can.dat file itself. 

My next suggestion would be to test interactively with
shp2img.

eg.
shp2img -m pei.map -o out.png

If you set the PROJ_DEBUG environment variable to a 
value (any value) then you should get detailed reports
from the PROJ.4 library on files that it tries to open.   This
might provide a clue.

Is posting attachments allowed. I've got some source that I'd like to put 
out for folks to look at because I think it will be very helpfull but it 
would need to be attached as a text file or a zip file. Can somebody let me

Hi Jacob,

After few days out, I'm working again with my raster files. I don't
think I've solved. I'm getting the tif image and the tfw file from
grass. I've tried with the png and jpeg (better) but I'm losing image
quality. The image in the map file is the same than in the template.
Also I have tried with gtiff format but is not displayed in my
application, perhaps a jBox disavantge, but is created in the tmp
folder.

Any suggestion?

Dejan,

First, I would suggest you "explore" the file using ogrinfo. 
Generally speaking the only attribute linkage information that
OGR captures is the MSLink and record number for database
linkages.   DGN Features with more than one linkage end up
only presenting the first. 

If you see what you need in the ogrinfo report, then you can
use the attributes in mapserver.  If not, you are out of luck.

Virginie, 

Does your mapserver build include GDAL support?  If not, 
you can only display 8bit greyscale or pseudocolored TIFFs. 
With GDAL support you can also display 24bit TIFFs. 

You can determine if you have GDAL support by typing:
 mapserv -v

If it reports INPUT=GDAL then you should be good.  It is also
helpful to include the version information from mapserv in questions
to the list such as this one.  It helps us all answer in terms of
the version and options in your mapserver build.

Ace,

Have you solved this problem?  We might have similar but different problems
because I'm using Python mapscript but I found that a field that has any
apostrophe in any record in rendered unsearchable no matter what I do.

To all,
I have created an example of how to use Google Maps in your own web pages 
for routing, geocoding, directions etc. I have a sample web page and all the 
code is within that page. I'm sure once folks see what I'm doing they will 
be able to add it to their own Mapserver pages fairly easily. I am going to 
try and add the page to this e-mail as a .zip file. If my gmail strips it 
out please feel free to e-mail me and I will send you a copy of the zip file 
from another account. The source will show you how to feed an address to 
Google Maps and get back the Lat, Lon of that address. It will also show how 
to feed Google Maps a from and to route request and get back the directions 
and the polyline coordinates of the route. The source code is intended as 
example only and I leave it up to you to how you want to add that data to 
your Mapserver implementations. Google Maps does have restrictions to using 
their API so you must abide by them if you decide to implement this example. 
If there are any errors in the source please let me know so I can fix them. 
So far I have only tested this with Mozilla and IE6.
Thank you,
Andy

Thanks Andy. I liked it. I still have to think about using that

Adam, I have a new idea: when you have apostrophes in your records,
write your expression using double quotes only, like so

    qstring = '("[FNAME]" =~ "Foo")'

I guessing that MapServer can't properly evaluate expressions in which
a single quote appears on the left side as a string-casting operator,
and on the right side as a literal value.

Folks on the WW forum are using this script to proxy GMaps:

<?

$v_TileL = (int) $_GET['L'];
$v_TileX = (int) $_GET['X'];
$v_TileY = (int) $_GET['Y'];

$x = (int) $v_TileX;
$y = (int) (48 * (1 << $v_TileL) - $v_TileY - 1);
$tid = 't';
for ($i = 0, $l = 32 * (1 << $v_TileL); $i < ($v_TileL + 6); ++$i, $l >>= 1) 
{
if ($x & $l) {
if ($y & $l) $tid .= 's';
else $tid .= 'r';
} else {
if ($y & $l) $tid .= 't';
else $tid .= 'q';
}
}
header('Location: http://kh.google.com/kh?v=1&t=' . $tid);

?>

Leopold,
not sure that I got your problem right:
I assume you fail in loading the capabilities document in mapbender, right?

If you examine the http headers from both tomcats, you see that the request
to
  http://www.gis.nrw.de/wms/DGM50?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.1.0
&SERVICE=WMS
is answered with a document of content type "text/xml", while

http://deegree.centropemap.multimediaplan.kosnet.com/deegree2/wms/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1
&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
results in an "application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml"
The latter is most probably not understood by mapbender (you should
cross-post this on the mapbender user list).
I assume this is due to some misconfiguration of the deegree server.

Best regards,
J?rgen

Hello EveryOne!

I'm would like to allow user to chanege the symbol of the point layer, can I

Yes, that does work if there is data with ' but without ".  If there are any
", this blows up, in which case you would use all ' in your expression.  If
there are both ' and " then there is no solution but to edit your data,
which stinks, and it must be known ahead of time (or tested for) to check if
your data contains either of the offending characters.  Plus, searching for
text with either is no go; you can't search for O'Conner with the above work
around.

This is frustrating.  I tend to find some work arounds less palatable than
others, but then the software is free and thus gripping is, for the most
part, kept to oneselve (unless it helps).

On a completely different topic, thanks for pointing me towards twisted some
time ago.  I just looked at it again this weekend and put togther a little
server that spits out map images at 80% of the speed it takes
mapserv.exe/mode=map.  Granted there is no functionality BUT drawing and
returning, but that small performance hit I took switching to Python
mapscript from mapserv.exe could be eliminated, and then some.

Thanks again.

You can search for "O'Conner"

     qstring = '("[FNAME]" == "O\'Conner")'

, but you are right, this is a pain.  If only Steve had chosen to
signify string casting on the left hand side with a str([FNAME])
instead of "[FNAME]" or '[FNAME]'.  My Python cartographic library does
not suffer from this problem because it does not use MapServer's mini
language for expressions -- it uses Python expressions.  PCL, does
however, suffer from incompleteness at this stage :)

Yeah, Twisted is ideal for specialized web services.  This weekend I
put together a module and script that implement a very lightweight WFS.
  Check it out: http://zcologia.com/news/31.  During the exercise I
finally got a grip on Deferreds, which you would want to use in your
own twisted mapserver when it begins to render maps that don't return
immediately (due to making WMS or WFS client connections or intensive
database queries).

I saw that you're coming out to the OSG05 meeting ... it'll be fun to
hack together at some GIS problems with Python for an afternoon.

cheers,
Sean

Yeah, I gave the counties other names, i.e. I got rid of the apostroph.

Hi all,

I thought there was a way to suppress features from being drawn with
MINFEATURESIZE, but it only seems to work for labels. Am I missing
something?

I have a layer with water polygons and they are getting displayed as
single pixels and I would like to suppress them. Is there an easy way to
do this short of adding an area attribute and filtering based on that?

Thanks,

Subject: Using Mapserver to generate google like tiles
Message-ID: <TUE.3.MAY.2005.235857.0400.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

Hi,

Is anyone out there writing a Perl or PHP/mapscript utility to generate
google like tiles using mapserver? What are the problems and issues you
have run into? What is the status of your work?

On the surface it seems pretty straight forward. Just iterate a bounding
box for your tile size over your map extents and save the tiles based on
row/column index as its name. Do this for each zoom scale you need.

You need to deal with labels across tile boundaries.
Should this be done using a projection? Which?
Projections probably make this more complicated? How?

I was thinking that generating BIG image files and then generating tiles
from the raster images might be better, because it will reduce the
number of tile edge artifacts. I was think that Perl and the ImageMagic
might work well for this?

Any thoughts?

What about makin larger images and then, then use them as a raster
source for a new layer from behind MapServer tha would simply cut the
larger images into smaller ones.  You would need to discard the edge
tiles in this method.

Another route might be to make the image tiles gernerate larger than the
final version, possibly much larger to rid yourself of any label
anomolies at the edges.  You might only keep the center thrid of the
image for the tile for example.  I wonder how difficult it would be to
generate a large tile and then use this tile a a dynamic layer source
for clipping via the MAPserv engine.  Interesting Idea, hmmm. .. . .

Same here.  Although I think MapServer has all the required capabilities
to do the work for you.  You could generate all the images up front, and
then run a seperate script on them with MapServ to clip out the center
of the tile for edge matching the tiles.  I would still be interested in
a way to loop the larger tile back behind MapServer as a raster source
that could be clipped from via a MapServer CGI request.  Maybe all it
amounts to is replacing the source file and recalling Mapserver with the
same CGI,  hmm, this could be a really short PER script.

Just send the Source Extentst, the tile size and the Temp location . . .
.   I think I need to think about this a little . .

Dang you, now you got me going . . . .  :c)

Thanks Frank,

ogrinfo -s file_name.dgn elements gives me:

EntityNum: Integer (0.0)

that seems OK and also ogrinfo -al gives me the records with text field

OGRFeature(elements):34
  Type (Integer) = 17
  Level (Integer) = 9
  GraphicGroup (Integer) = 0

  Text (String) = MUKATI
  Style = LABEL(t:"MUKATI",c:#ffffff,s:15g)
  POINT (5406547.385 4975870.523)

...so evrything seems OK and I can see the text on my map, the problem
is that I can't search for this data. Maybe this has something to do
with my interface (I am using p.mapper and PHP/Mapscript) but it seems
like it has problems with the field named "TEXT". Is this possible? Any
experiences?

Dejan,

First, I would suggest you "explore" the file using ogrinfo. 
Generally speaking the only attribute linkage information that OGR
captures is the MSLink and record number for database
linkages.   DGN Features with more than one linkage end up
only presenting the first. 

If you see what you need in the ogrinfo report, then you can use the
attributes in mapserver.  If not, you are out of luck.

Subject: working with filters and expressions
Message-ID: <WED.4.MAY.2005.085403.0200.JAMESDANISAT.NET>


Hi all,

I have a great problem.  
I have a shape file layer of some roads.  All the different road types are in the same shape file, and Attibute data is used to specify the road type.  I have a attribute/column named TYPE.  The data here ... eg road types are Paved,Unpaved, Dirt Road, etc

Now what I want is to filter out the road types I dont want.  For this I was assuming the FILTER paramenter under the layer could work.
I have now tried numerous things but nothing much works.  I see lots of others having problems with this.  Reading posts here I see lots of conflicting info.  Some also say you can do the same with the EXPRESSION parameter under your class.
Now I am totally confused.  I have tired things like

FILTER "([TYPE]='Paved' or [TYPE]='Unpaved')"
FILTER "([TYPE] eq 'Paved' or [TYPE] eq 'Unpaved')"

To try and show only paved and unpaved roads.
I get nothing .. not a single thing shows up.  Yet if I remove the filter parameter, all the roads types show.
So I also tried

FILTER "([TYPE]='Paved')" 
FILTER "([TYPE] eq 'Paved')"
FILTER ([TYPE]='Paved') 
FILTER ([TYPE] eq 'Paved')

I get same result .. nothing shows when the filter is present.
However, I have managed to get one thing working:

FILTERITEM "TYPE"
FILTER "Paved"

This works in that it shows only paved roads.  Yet the moment I try and get it to work on more than one roadtype, it freaks out and shows nothing.  I tried doing similar things with the Expression parameter but also with no results.

My Layer looks like this:


LAYER
        NAME "tr_ro_final"
        TYPE line
        CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
        CONNECTION "/maps/tr_ro_final.shp"
        STATUS DEFAULT
        #FILTER "[TYPE] eq 'Unpaved'"
        #FILTERITEM "TYPE"

        #FILTER '!"Dirt Road"'
        #MINSCALE  3.01
        #MAXSCALE 99.01
        CLASS
                #Expression ([TYPE] eq "Unpaved")
                #COLOR 151 75 0
                COLOR 255 0 0
                SYMBOL "circle"
                SIZE 3
        END

As you can see I have still left in some of the things I was playing with.  Still .. I have not got far.  I have not been able to find any proper documentation of using mapserver regex or using the filter parameter properly. 

My mapserver version:

MapServer version 4.4.0 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Can anyone help me ?  I am desperate to finally figure this out once and for all.

Thanks,

James Anderson.

I just followed this up as I was also unimpressed with the JPEG quality (but
not half as much as I'm unimpressed by user agents that don't handle PNG ;-)

I searched on the words "raster" and "quality", separately and in
conjunction in both body and subject and got nothing back - is the search
engine broken?

Are you using raster or vector input data?
If you are using raster maps to generate your jpg output, then the
problem might be in
the poor resizing quality. I have created one application in wich the
raster files were drawn
in there own native scale and then rescaled with PHP and then re-readed
back to the Mapserver
to add some more data from vector layers. The output quality was much
better then.

Dear list,

I am using a OGR connection to a MySQL database table to create thematic maps based on the values contained in this table.

Here goes how it is working now:



LAYER

NAME mt

TYPE POLYGON

STATUS ON

MAXSCALE 1000000

LABELITEM 'Nomecomune'



CONNECTIONTYPE OGR

CONNECTION "C:\Programmi\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\abruzzo\maps\data\comuni_abruzzo_gb_region.shp"

DATA "SELECT * FROM comuni_abruzzo_gb_region LEFT JOIN 'ODBC:tuna/caparica at mappa_tem'.mp_ini ON comuni_abruzzo_gb_region.Id = mp_ini.ID"



CLASSITEM FIELD

CLASS

NAME 'mt0'

EXPRESSION ([FIELD] < (2))

STYLE

OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255

COLOR 221 250 220

END

TEMPLATE void

END

METADATA

"ID_MYSQL" "7"

"NICE_NAME" "Mappa Tematica"

END

END

Everything works fine in windows/apache/php/mapserver/mapscript environement...

Now the challenge is: I am transfering this system to LINUX environment and as far as could get so far I still have to use an ODBC connection... is this true? I mean beeing in LINUX environment souldn't I be able to make a direct connection between mapserver an MySQL without having to use a windows native technology?

I am afraid I might be making things more complex than they could be..

thanks in advance for any tips.

Stephane,

to create a curved line between two points, you will need to calculate
intermediate points along the curve and add them to your line segment.

If you are portraying a straight line (geographic) in a non-geographic
projection then the calculations are simply to add intermediate points
along the line and mapserver will re-project them appropriately, ending
up with a nice curve (depending on the number of points).  If you are
trying to display a curve in the same projection, you will need some
equation to calculate points along the curve.

Cheers

Paul

use CLASSITEM "TYPE" in your LAYER object and use EXPRESSION "Unpaved"
in your class.  MapServer will only draw features that match a class.
You can add multiple classes to draw the features you want and any
unmatched features will be ignored (unless you add a class to draw them).

Also, mapserver processes classes on a first come-first serve basis so
if a feature could fit into more than one class, it will always be drawn
in the first class (reading top to bottom in your map file) that it matches.

Matthew,

your assessment is correct, you cannot affect the values that mapserver
decides to use for a scale bar.  There is a good reason for this.  At
your particular scale, it may not be possible to use an integral number
of pixels to represent 100km (or some sub-division of that).  Also,
MapServer does make the scale bar fit the requested size (including the
labels) so you could try reducing the width in small increments to see
if you can get a different result.

Cheers

Paul

This would be a question for the Chameleon list not the Mapserver list.

http://chameleon.maptools.org/index.phtml?page=mailinglist.html

Short answer, Chameleon comes with a sample application called "Sample using XML Theme Legend" which should help you get started.

result), and after I draw it with drawQuery... But this function is a
bit slow... And I must keep this path selected, so I do the same
process for each click in on map (zoom, pan...) . Is this the best way
to do it?

Thank you...

James,

In MapServer's expression language, all variables on the left hand side
such as [TYPE] are evaluated numerically unless explicitly cast as
strings using quotes.  The following should work

     FILTER ("[TYPE]" = "Paved")

You would probably benefit from processing your data so that it has
integer type attributes to do

     FILTER ([FTYPE] = 1)   # Paved

cheers,
Sean

Subject: WMS GetMap not using Lat/Lonprojection
Message-ID: <WED.4.MAY.2005.092840.0400.MCGRAWJAGR.GC.CA>

G'day, Frank, 

I tried your suggestion to use shp2img interactively to see if some clue
is provided. One was, but I don't know what to do with it. 

When I tried:
shp2img -m pei.map -o out.png

This was the result:
msLoadMap(): Unknown identifier. (config):(12)

The config line in my map is:
    config      PROJ_LIB /usr/local/proj-4.4.5/nad/

As far as I can tell, that's the correct syntax for config. Uppercase
CONFIG makes no difference...I tried. 

I'll attach my map file again in case there's something before the
config line that is actually causing the problem. I can't see anything
but I say it's possible because, when the config line failed, I
commented it out and tried the shp2img utility again. This time it
failed with:
msLoadMap(): Unknown identifier. (outputformat):(23)

After commenting the outputformat object out, I finally got an out.png,
but the fact that both of these common tags were not recognized suggests
something odd is going on.

Any ideas?

Joanne, 

I think just copying it should be fine. 

Internally +datum=NAD27 is defined as:

+nadgrids=@conus, at alaska, at ntv2_0.gsb, at ntv1_can.dat

That is, it searches for the conus, alaska, ntv2_0.gsb and then
ntv1_can.dat files till it finds a file overlapping the region to 
be converted.  So you shouldn't need to do anything special
to use this file. 

If it still isn't worked, I am somewhat confused.   I am assuming
that MapServer is able to load the epsg file which is the
same directory, so it shouldn't be a permissions problem on
the directory path, though you might want to check the permissions
on the ntv1_can.dat file itself. 

My next suggestion would be to test interactively with
shp2img.

eg.
shp2img -m pei.map -o out.png

If you set the PROJ_DEBUG environment variable to a 
value (any value) then you should get detailed reports
from the PROJ.4 library on files that it tries to open.   This
might provide a clue.

When I did:

is there any package I have to install ?
should I also install php4-cgi ?

I don't know if the Projection is right and I don't know how to know it.

Matthew, 

I may be oversimplifying this.  Will your map always be of the same piece of the earth, or of a limited number of locations.  If the map is of fixed scale and extent, couldn't you just create your own fixed scale bar image using Gimp and then just place it on your page as an image?

Matthew,

your assessment is correct, you cannot affect the values that mapserver
decides to use for a scale bar.  There is a good reason for this.  At
your particular scale, it may not be possible to use an integral number
of pixels to represent 100km (or some sub-division of that).  Also,
MapServer does make the scale bar fit the requested size (including the
labels) so you could try reducing the width in small increments to see
if you can get a different result.

Cheers

Paul

Joao, 

On Linux (or windows for that matter) you can access MySQL either
via ODBC or via a direct MySQL connection depending on how your
package is built.  The direct MySQL driver is minimally documented at:

  http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_mysql.html

I find it easier to build OGR directly against MySQL and use that
instead of ODBC on Linux where ODBC can be pretty hairy.  

Note that in your example you were using a shapefile.  That 
configuration should work fine on Linux too.

Virginie,

This generally means the program crashed.  

My suggestion is that you review the "debugging MapServer"
wiki topic and see if you can find out some more information.

  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DebuggingMapserver

The stuff about the DEBUG keyword won't apply in your case since
your mapserver was not built with debug output enabled. 

Mainly I would suggest testing your map with shp2img and see if
you get any more useful information with it.  If it core dumps it may help
to run it in "gdb" if you are familiar with that. 

You may need to bundle up a your mapfile and dataset and submit this
as a bug if you can't find anything else out.  The details at the following
url may be helpful for that.

  http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/bug_submission

Paul,

If I understand correctly, you have a query result that you want to persist
in subsequent map.draw() calls.  Try using map.saveQuery and loadQuery.  You
would save to a temporary file after your queryByAtributes and then load
prior to each map.draw().  Is that what you're looking for?

Joanne,

Is there any chance you did this with an older shp2img?  You
might want to check with "shp2img -v".  The CONFIG keyword
was new in 4.4.0 as far as I know, but the message seems to 
suggest the config keyword isn't recognised.

So, I the steps are:

- drawQuery
...
- loadQuery
- drawMap

??

Actually your subsequent draw commands may still need to be drawQuery calls
if I remember correctly:

- queryByAttributes
- saveQuery
- drawQuery
 ...
- loadQuery
- drawQuery

Bart is correct that we were planning to work with Eduin Carrillo (Qix
developer) for an ArcMap-MapServer extension.  However things just never
panned out on our side, so we're glad to hear that Till (AmeiN!) has a
new version coming out...that's great news for everyone.

Ganbin,

Sorry, matters PHP are not my forte, and I'm not really very good
with the query support either.  It is possible there are bugs in the
OGR query support.  If you can boil it down to a straight forward
example, you could file a bug report on it, with datasets and map
for me to look into.

Bart,

OGR's Shapefile driver already supports accessing "bare" .dbf 
files with no .shp or .shx file.  So the shapefile driver is a "free"
dbf driver as well. Though limited to the relatively old and simple
style of .dbf normally used with shapefiles.  

DBF files can be access directly by name or as a directory.

You can also access DBF files via ODBC of course.

That's exactly what I am doing. The shp2img utility I was using was
3.6.3.

I find there are a number of versions MapServer on our server. How can I
find out which one is actually processing the pages I am requesting?
That is, while I was under the impression we are only one version behind

Joanne,

Is there any chance you did this with an older shp2img?  You
might want to check with "shp2img -v".  The CONFIG keyword
was new in 4.4.0 as far as I know, but the message seems to 
suggest the config keyword isn't recognised.

Ah ha!
For this application, I am running MapServer 4.4.0-beta2 on the server.
I can find no mapserv-utils for that version just yet. I may need to
download it. I'll get back to you when I've run the shp2img with a
current version.

Try "IMAGETYPE PNG24".

PNG and PNG24 default to interlaced mode, which i don't like, so i use:

        IMAGETYPE GD-PNG24
        OUTPUTFORMAT
          NAME GD-PNG24
          DRIVER "GD/PNG"
          MIMETYPE "image/png"
          IMAGEMODE RGBA
          EXTENSION "png"
          FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
        END

Non-interlaced images are smaller than interlaced ones.

Hey all,

Over the course of trying to get aesthetically pleasing cartography, I
keep running into the same problem - railroads.  I've searched on the
net multiple times for pleasing solutions, and have come across a few,
but inevitably the cross-hatches end up looking ugly and inconsistent.
I'm hoping to achieve something that looks similar to that which google
is displays (http://maps.google.ca, zoom to Vancouver search for
'Hastings Park Racecourse').  Has anyone had any success trying to mimic
this look?

Hi list,

I was wondering if the only property which can be set of selected features
drawn in a querymap is the color?

Is it not possible, to define line width, or eg whether or not labels
should be drawn in the selection color as well? Have a selected polygon
drawn filled instead of just the outline? I could even image a selection
style per layer.

Is it possible to do that kind of stuff? If yes then how?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bart

Bart,

One method you might try is to define the layer you want to query twice.  So
have a 'parcels' layer and a 'q_parcels' layer.  The former would be
symbolized normally, the later would symbolized as you want the query
results to look.  Then set the qlayer CGI variable to 'q_parcels', and in
your QUERYMAP object set STYLE to selected.  But that's just one way.

Cheers,

Adam

Subject: Projections with ARCINFO Grids
Message-ID: <WED.4.MAY.2005.121848.0700.AARONRECOTRUST.ORG>

Hi there,

I am having issues with displaying some Arc/Info Binary Grid's.  I was hoping that I would not have to explicitly define the projection information for layers that I am dynamically adding to my mapfile since the format they are in has a prj.adf file defining the projection.  I am displaying my main map in lat-lon, but have a couple of rasters that are in different projections (such as UTM zone 10N).  If I explicitly define the projection in the map file things display fine for the layer:


  LAYER
    DATA "siuslaw/data_cd/region/shd90/"
      METADATA
      END
    NAME "siuslaw_data_cd_region_shd90"
    SIZEUNITS PIXELS
    STATUS ON
    TOLERANCE 0
    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS
    TYPE RASTER
    UNITS METERS
    PROJECTION
      "proj=utm" 
      "ellps=clrk66" 
      "zone=10" 
      "north" 
    END
  END


When I try to remove the projection definition from the layer and allow GDAL to get the projection info from the ArcInfo Grid itself I loose the layer on the map (I assume it is being assumed to have a lat-lon coordinate system like the main map).  When I use gdalinfo to look at the ArcInfo Grid I get the projection info just fine:

Is there a way to get this to work?  I just don't want to have to do something silly like parse the gdalinfo output to be able to dynamically know what the ArcInfo Grid projection is.  

Thanks in advance!

Aaron, 

At one time you could put 'PROJECTION "AUTO" END' in your mapfile
to auto-load the projection of a layer from a GDAL file, but I don't think
this works anymore.  It certainly isn't the default.  You can file a bug
on this topic if you like.

In general MapServer seems to like you to have to regenerate your
projection definition even when it could figure it out for you.  This is an
annoying source of errors and confusion.

Best regards,

Frank,

Thanks for the quick reply...

It turns out that 'PROJECTION "AUTO" END' does work and my maps are
displaying great.  I just hope the functionality stays working in future
versions!

In the case of my previous example, the new mapfile layer def is:

  LAYER
    DATA "siuslaw/data_cd/region/shd90/"
      METADATA
      END
    NAME "siuslaw_data_cd_region_shd90"
    SIZEUNITS PIXELS
    STATUS ON
    TOLERANCE 0
    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS
    TYPE RASTER
    UNITS METERS
    PROJECTION 
      "AUTO" 
    END
  END

And the resulting mapfile after saving it back out via php_mapscript
with the projection filled in automatically by Mapserver:

  LAYER
    DATA "siuslaw/data_cd/region/shd90/"
      METADATA
      END
    NAME "siuslaw_data_cd_region_shd90"
    PROJECTION
      "proj=utm"
      "zone=10"
      "ellps=clrk66"
      "datum=NAD27"
      "units=m"
      "no_defs"
    END
    SIZEUNITS PIXELS
    STATUS ON
    TOLERANCE 0
    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS
    TYPE RASTER
    UNITS METERS
  END

Thanks again...

Aaron

Aaron,

Cool.  I thought I had tried this recently and found that it wasn't
working any more but I could be wrong.

That is funky magic.  All hail the saveMap() call!

the resolution using Gimp, the raster image improve the quality in the

Hi list,

I've been trying to modify the TOLERANCE value of a layer in my
mapfile, using variable substitution, Windows CGI mapserver:

LAYER
...
  TOLERANCE %myvariable%
...
END

But it crashes when it hits the first '%', stating its an unknown symbol. 

Is this parameter untouchable with variable substitution? 

I haven't had this problem using variable substitution elsewhere in my
mapfile, such as modifying connection strings.

Thanks,

1. I have a strange problem.  Rasters are shown the wrong size but only in
queries, and only in the Debian machine, things work fine on the SuSE server.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

2.  Is there a SENSIBLE way to get PHP-MapScript installed.  Last time, I had
to re-install half the system to get the verdamte thing running, and I only
could get it to run on Debian, the LinGIS MapScript (the reason why I
installed SuSE on that machine, does not work, and has been reported rotten.
Why is this *so* difficult?

But my issue is that when I zoom in on an area of the map it seems to

I even put :

$cellsize = $oMap->cellsize ;
$cellsize2 = $cellsize / 1000 ;

In the 'case "ZOOM_IN":'  area in order to get it to recalculate the

If I press the redraw button at the new zoom level it seems to reset it
and all goes well, the correct distance is represented by the tool, not
the distance at the old resolution. I have also tried forcing a browser
reload and that does not seem to fix it.

I am not sure if it is related but the 'Zoom to fullest extents' seems
to need to be pressed twice as well before it works, in that once you
press it the map redraws but to the zoom in area - not to fullest
extent.

The re-centre tool does seem to fix it though, as does activating the
'i' tool.


Any help appreciated.

issues.

$cellsize2 = $cellsize / 1000 ;

I am thinking that the web server or similar may be keeping some pesky

I understand that the font you should use is determined by the character set
of the dataset you are trying to label - so if your dataset contains Unicode
characters, you should use a font that supports these.

Besides I am just gessing as I don't know the syntax rules.. could you giveme a hand on this or tell me the place where I can find this syntax?

Thank you so much

Joao,

On Linux (or windows for that matter) you can access MySQL either
via ODBC or via a direct MySQL connection depending on how your
package is built. The direct MySQL driver is minimally documented at:

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_mysql.html

I find it easier to build OGR directly against MySQL and use that
instead of ODBC on Linux where ODBC can be pretty hairy.

Note that in your example you were using a shapefile. That
configuration should work fine on Linux too.

Best regards,

No Automated Querying 
You may not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system without express permission in advance from Google. Note that "sending automated queries" includes, among other things: 

  a.. using any software which sends queries to Google to determine how a website or webpage "ranks" on Google for various queries; 
  b.. "meta-searching" Google; and 
  c.. performing "offline" searches on Google.
Now, I know this isn't doing anything with webpage ranks, meta-searching, etc.. but it is still an automated query.    Was just curious if there were any legal implications to doing this kind of thing?.

Thanks!

  To all,
      I have created an example of how to use Google Maps in your own web pages for routing, geocoding, directions etc. I have a sample web page and all the code is within that page. I'm sure once folks see what I'm doing they will be able to add it to their own Mapserver pages fairly easily. I am going to try and add the page to this e-mail as a .zip file. If my gmail strips it out please feel free to e-mail me and I will send you a copy of the zip file from another account. The source will show you how to feed an address to Google Maps and get back the Lat, Lon of that address. It will also show how to feed Google Maps a from and to route request and get back the directions and the polyline coordinates of the route. The source code is intended as example only and I leave it up to you to how you want to add that data to your Mapserver implementations. Google Maps does have restrictions to using their API so you must abide by them if you decide to implement this example. If there are any errors in the source please let me know so I can fix them. So far I have only tested this with Mozilla and IE6.
  Thank you,

Joao, 

Yikes, I completely missed the join in your select.  First, is your
OGR built with MySQL support?  This isn't all that common. 

Second, the direct MySQL support is done using:

 MYSQL:database=zzzz_abruzzo,tablename=zzz,user=rt,password=rt,port=3306

(not MYGIS).  Also, I suggest removing the space.  Phase 1 of constructing
such a query would be to try accessing the MySQL database externally
with the ogrinfo commandline program.  

eg. 

ogrinfo -ro -al -so
'MYSQL:database=zzzz_abruzzo,tablename=zzz,user=rt,password=rt,port=3306'

If you don't get a list of tables doing this, then you are likely lacking the
driver.  You can check for the driver using "ogrinfo --formats".

Next, try your full query with ogrinfo and see if it works. 

eg. 

ogrinfo -ro "C:\Programmi\Apache\Group\Apache\htdocs\abruzzo\maps\data\comuni_abruzzo_gb.shp"
 -sql  "SELECT * FROM comuni_abruzzo_gb LEFT JOIN 
MYSQL:database=zzzz_abruzzo, tablename=zzz, user=rt, password=rt,
port=3306' ON comuni_abruzzo_gb.Id = zzz.ID"

If that works, then transfer the query back into your map.

PS. I just read the driver help for the MySQL OGR driver, and I see it said to
prefix the datasource name with MYGIS (instead of MYSQL).  Sorry about that,
it was an error.  I have corrected it now.

When that one guy did the craigslist housing google maps overlay
(http://paulrademacher.com/housing/), the Google blog gave him some
high praises.  I haven't seen any efforts at shutting down his project
even though he's pulling their map data.

As with all such licenses and terms, I think it's basically there in
case people start to abuse the service.  Might be worth shooting an
email to Google to inquire.

Hi list

Has someone tryed to do this: to query a polygon layer with dynamicaly
created features, not shapes from other shapefile.
Let's say that a user draws few points on a map by clicing on it, and those
points are dynamicaly created features of some layer, can I do the query
based on those features? is it possible using php/mapscirpt?

Many thanks for any tip!

It's certainly possible, but there is a known (and fixed) bug
regarding it.  Just search the archives for my name and 'querybypoint'
and you'll come across some threads related to it.

Farid,

I don't think that [mapx] and [mapy] are part of the query mechanism
itself in mapserver.  You might want to review the wiki page on the
Raster Query mechanism for an idea how to get the underlying
raster values back from a DEM. 

  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RasterQuery

Some of it won't make sense unless you are familiar with the general
query mechanism in MapServer, so you might want to read up on that
too.

Subject: Help: Perl/Mapscript Bug?
Message-ID: <THU.5.MAY.2005.132151.0400.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

Hi all,

I have run into an interesting but NASTY problem with Perl/Mapscript
running in a fcgi process on Linux.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Is this a bug that has been fixed in a later release?

Particulars:

Debian Woody and Mapserver 4.01 - yes it is old, but it is a production
system and we are concerned about the performance issues are in the
later releases.

The problem is that this script is running as an apache fcgi process and
it is consuming all the system resources. An lsof shows that the
shapefiles are not getting closed after each hit. We have tried to close
the layer and undef the mapObj, but it does not fix the problem. It
seems mapscript is not closing the file handles!!!

We are going to try and test this under 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 and see what happens

Any ideas?
   -Steve W.

the Perl code is like:

sub query {
     my $latitude = shift;
     my $longitude = shift;

     ## create new mapscript objec using appropriate mapfile
     my $map = new mapscript::mapObj($mapfile);
     return error("Can not open Mapfile: $mapfile") if not $map;

     ## get streets layer
     my $layer = $map->getLayerByName('data');
     return error("Can not open Layer: data") if not $layer;
     $layer->{status} = $mapscript::MS_ON;

     ## open the layer or the query will fail
     ## WHY DOES THIS NEED TO BE DONE HERE!
     $layer->open();

     ## build point obj using lat/lon
     my $point = new mapscript::pointObj();
     $point->{y} = $latitude;
     $point->{x} = $longitude;

     ## now query the layer object using lat/longs
     $layer->queryByPoint($map, $point, $mapscript::MS_SINGLE, -1.0);

     ## reopen layer to get results,
     ## you can't close it or it will lose the query info
     $layer->open();
     my $res = $layer->getResult(0);

     ## get shape obj
     my $shp = new mapscript::shapeObj($layer->{type});
     $layer->getShape($shp, $res->{tileindex}, $res->{shapeindex});

     my $data;
     my $polyline = get_shp_xy($shp);

     ## do stuff with polyline put results into $data

     ## we tried   $layer->close() and undef $map here
     ## but it did not make a difference

     return($data);
}

Steve,

I don't even keep the 4.0 source around anymore, so I'm looking at 4.2.
  I don't think maplayer.c had too many changes in between.

I suspect your problem is with the multiple calls to layerObj::open().
On the second call, a new shapefileObj will be allocated and the
layer's info pointer will be pointed to it, but it doesn't look like
the pre-existing one is ever freed.  My comments continue below ...

This is not necessary, and is probably the source of the leak.  I've
never had problems querying a closed layer.

Right.  Open the layer only to get the results.

Message-ID: <THU.5.MAY.2005.105803.0700.PRAMSEYREFRACTIONS.NET>

I think there is a more elegant solution to the "google maps speedup"
problem:

- The reason google maps is "fast" is because (a) they restrict
themselves to fixes scales in their UI and (b) they load in the map in
parallel chunks of 128x128 size.

So the answer:

- Write a google maps style client that forces a limited number of fixed
scales, and always generates tiled WMS requests using the same
coordinates for each tile.
- Place a caching proxy between your Mapserver and the world, and tell
your client to always make requests to the caching proxy.

Most of the work is doing the fancy google maps style javascript client.

Paul, 

I like the idea of just using a conventional http proxy caching system. 
However, I don't think your approach fully addresses the concern of
continuity between tiles.  Due to the label placement logic of MapServer
it is very hard to be sure that multiple "tile" requests by WMS will have
compatible label placement which results in chopped off labels, and
other anomolies from a straightforward use of mapserver for generating
the tiles. I think the idea of generating a much bigger region and either
just cutting out the center, or cutting up bigger regions would give much
better continuity between tiles. 

Forgive me if I am stating the obvious. 

Best regards,

Frank, this is exactly my concern. I know for a fact that Google has
labels split across tile boundaries. I also restrict my browser client
to fixed scales. I think what I want to do is create a Perl/mapscript
utility that generates large tiles, like some multiple of the unit tile
size and then pass it to Image::Magick and chop it into until tiles.
And also detect and eliminate all tiles the are ONLY water.

So if my tile is 128x128 then I might want to generate an image of
2048x2048 and chop it into 16x16=256 tiles of 128x128 pixels. And if all
label are set to PARTIAL FALSE then the 64 outer edges will not have
labels crossing them so it should not be noticeable.

My problem(s) with moving forward are:
1) setting up the math and tile names - trivial for DD, needs to be done
2) should I use a projection like equirectangular
3) working in the projection confuses the map for me

Any thoughts on this?
   -Steve

Some stats from a www.blogger.com on this are

An image of the whole of mainland USA leeched from google maps  zoom
level 11. 448 tiles leeched and stitched together via perl.

the (0,0) tile is located at about the centre of Kansas.

Each zoom level increases the resolution by 2 (and hence the number of
tiles goes up by 4).

Zoom - Number of tiles for mainland USA
13 - 28
12 - 112
11 - 488
8 - 28672
1 - 469762048 (at 1 tile per second, this will take about 14 years to
leech off the site. The final image, if I had the time to leech it,
would have a resolution of about 7million * 4million pixels)

Joerg, 

This problem was recently identified by Steve Lime and I have fixed
it in the GDAL code base.  You could grab a recent nightly CVS
snapshot of GDAL and rebuild from that.  

Sorry for the bug ... I wrote the code in one place such that it assumed
there was no limit to the number of overviews available. 

I would add there is another bug also recently fixed in the MrSID code.
This bug cause the image to be read at full resolution if the requested
window size was larger than 2000000000 (2 gigapixels) due to an
unfortunate choice on my part to mulitple xsize * ysize as 32bit integers.

So those wanting to do heavy duty work with GDAL on MrSIDs are
encouraged to work with the latest code. 

Best regards,

Hi,

Does anyone know where to find a Mapserver Windows binary with Oracle AND MapScript/PHP support?
The ms4w package from DM Solutions does not come with Oracle support, except through OGR. There is a windows binary with Oracle support on the Mapserver download pages, but it doesn't have PHP/Mapscript support, aarrgh.. Also, the Hobu's kitchen sink MapServer 4.4.2 only contains Mapscript for Java or Python it seems.

Is it true that in order to use the Query functionality in Mapserver I must access Oracle via OGR? What is the performance when using OGR's compared to the "native" link?

regards,
  erik

i have followed the instructions to install the mapserver and did succefully that.

if i type ./mapserv now, it throws an error like this....

./mapserv: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

how to solve this?

also I would like to convert the ArcIMS shape files into mysql. i know that one can shp2mysql.pl command

Dear Zoltan?

Sorry for my late reply.
We were in long holidays here in Japan.
Thank you for your recommendations.
In fact, by adjusting World file, the Raster/Vector Images finally so-so well superimposed,
except the coordinates of these images are a bit dislocated, depend on the 1st and 4th pixel values on the World file.
Though I am adjusting manually those numbers, what is the right formula to get the X and Y pixel dimensions?
Thanks again for your help.

Dear Akio,

You should define EXTENT, UNITS and SHAPEPATH at separate lines.
Do you have world file to your image? Check the extents.
Try STATUS DEFAULT.

Message-ID: <FRI.6.MAY.2005.092310.0200.SWEYKAMTELELINE.ES>

Hi list members,

Now that we have our prototype up and running, it's time to make some
considerations for the future data incorporations.
We are working with MapServer4.4 and MapScript on Windows2000. For now, we
have all the spatial data (and all stable attributes) stored in shapefiles
and all the survey data in MySQL.

Query the data and render maps according to query results will be very
important, as well as sharing data with others.

I was wondering if we should migrate everything to MySQL as spatial database
(tell me somebody that it is easy to compile MapServer with MyGIS
support!?).

How does this migration affect our WMS/WFS server capabilities? (makes it
easier or more complicated?)
Are the attribute data ONLY queriable if we have the spatial data in a
spatial database?

How would you render a polygon layer, having let's say 6 classes
representing quantitative data on a colour ramp?
I guess, one would first determine MIN and MAX values in a field, then the
difference between MAX and MIN, divide this value by 6, create 6 class
objects and 6 symbol objects, use 6 class expressions according to the
previously determined value ranges and that's it (?). Can such a map be
requested by a client?

Another problem: The users would like to stick to Access as a database
familiar to them. I know that it is possible to transfer locally stored
Access tables to MySQL, then set up links in the Access database that point
to the tables managed by the MySQL database server, but I have not tried it
out. Is this an option or should we rather write an export/import routine?
I'm afraid, actualisations will be quite frequent.

Any comments would be appreciated,
Stefanie Weykam

I have installed MapServer 4.6.0-beta1 and now I will add tiff as

Check the /etc/ls.so.conf file, probably the directory not listed there
where libgd is stored. Append the directory of libgd to the list in
ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as root.

Dear Akio,

The formula looks like:
X = Ax + By + C and Y = Dx + Ey + F (Affine transformation)
The order of the parameters in the world file is:
A
D
B
E
C
F

The process to find out the values of the parameters is called
georeferencing. There are a loft of programs what can solve the task
specifying point on the raster and giving the real co-ordinates for them.
Unfortunatelly I use commercial software for this purpose, but I think
GRASS can do it.
Usually more then the minimal 3 points are used with a least squares
estimation.

I hope it helps you

Zoltan

Hi Erik,
    About the Win binaries with Oracle Spatial and PHP support I believe
that Bart can help you more than I, here I only use Linux.
    With 4.4.x version of Mapserver you can use the query functions with
native Oracle Spatial support without problems, Arnulf wrote in the list
that the native support is more fast than ogr connection. Some improves
for Oracle Spatial support is in the cvs version of maporacletial.c, so
you can try to use the 4.4 version or 4.6-beta.
    Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of trouble with some shapefiles and was hoping someone
could offer advice.

I'm using mapserver 4.4 to display my point and line shapefiles. The symbol
are displayed as images I have specified in a symbol file and the lines
simply as black lines. If I zoom in at a close range, the points disappear.
The lines remain visible but not the points. Zooming out brings them back
again.

The minscale and maxscale are not set so all shapes should be displayed at
any zoom level.

Thanks in advance,
Gerard

Depending on your needs, you need to choose Apache 1 or 2, if you need
Apache 2, install : 

apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-common

and it will run perfectly

Subject: ogrinfo show x y columns as strings
Message-ID: <FRI.6.MAY.2005.144253.0200.RDMAILINGSDUIF.NET>

Hi list,

I have the following txt file that I want to use as a virtual datasource:

text,x,y
test,10,10
test2,11,11


Using a ODBC connection in Windows everything works fine:

ogrinfo ODBC:puntenlaagdsn testpoints.txt
INFO: Open of `ODBC:puntenlaagdsn'
using driver `ODBC' successful.

Layer name: testpoints.txt
Geometry: Unknown (any)
Feature Count: 2
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
text: String (255.0)
x: Integer (10.0)
y: Integer (10.0)
OGRFeature(testpoints.txt):0
 text (String) = test
 x (Integer) = 10
 y (Integer) = 10

OGRFeature(testpoints.txt):1
 text (String) = test2
 x (Integer) = 11
 y (Integer) = 11



But putting everything to linux fails, because ogr(info) (with exactly
the same txt file) reports the x y columns as strings, giving a
featurecount of zero => no features on the map :-(

ogrinfo -ro -al ODBC:@puntenlaagdsn testpoints.txt
INFO: Open of `ODBC:@puntenlaagdsn'
using driver `ODBC' successful.

Layer name: testpoints.txt
Geometry: Unknown (any)
Feature Count: 0
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
text: String (255.0)
x: String (255.0)
y: String (255.0)


Does anybody knows what's the problem?

Is it an odbc problem?

Who is responsible for 'typing' the columns in the txt file?

TIA

Richard

thank you for your interest

I gave permission to local user which I am now working on.
But I had changed to www-data and nobody.
I made chmod a+x chmod a+r to all file.
I could not see the maps.

Ahmet

the error messages indicate that you have a layer named 'fay' that is
using a shapefile kara_fay2 that it cannot find.

Make sure this shapefile exists in /usr/local/karabuk_data/kara_fay2 and
that this directory is readable by your apache user.

If yes to all of these, then perhaps your shapefile is corrupt in some
way.  Try opening it in some other way (ogrinfo perhaps?)

Richard, 

I believe this is a flaw with the text file ODBC driver on 
that comes with unixODBC.  We had a number of problems with
it on AIX a couple of years ago and came to the conclusion it
was not very trustworthy.

You might want to try doing dos to unix text conversion on the
file, to see if that is at the root of the problem.  

> Who is responsible for 'typing' the columns in the txt file?

The ODBC driver pretty much has to guess in the CSV case
since there is no type information in the file. 

BTW, another alternative with modern GDAL/OGR's is to use 
the CSV driver.  Rename your file testpoints.csv and it should
work.

 warmerda at gdal2200[23]% cat text.csv
text,x,y
test,10,10
test2,11,11
warmerda at gdal2200[24]% ogrinfo -ro -al text.csv
OGR: OGROpen(text.csv) succeeded (0x80c05a8).
INFO: Open of `text.csv'
using driver `CSV' successful.

Layer name: text
Geometry: None
Feature Count: 2
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
text: String (0.0)
x: String (0.0)
y: String (0.0)
OGRFeature(text):1
  text (String) = test
  x (String) = 10
  y (String) = 10

OGRFeature(text):2
  text (String) = test2
  x (String) = 11
  y (String) = 11

The values do some through as strings, but I don't think that
really matters for most purposes.

Message-ID: <FRI.6.MAY.2005.100136.0400.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

Resolution:

It looks like there are two problems here.

1) there is a bug in 4.0.1 where the shapefiles are not getting closed.
2) there is a separate bug on 4.0.1 that required the first
$layer-open(); because we had the TEMPLATE in the CLASS and not the
LAYER. This caused two copies of the shapefiles to get left open on
every hit.

To further compound this problem, we were running fastcgi, which kept
all the file handles open because the process lives beyond the request.

I added a TEMPLATE line to the LAYER, and a COLOR to the CLASS and was
able to get rid of the first $layer->open(), but I could not get the
files to close on 4.0.1. We added $layer->close() to no avail.

We upgraded to 4.4.2 and everything is working as expected.

Thanks for the help and suggestions, this list really rocks!

Johan,

I don't believe that the object code depends on nmake.opt, so
after changing the configuration in nmake.opt you should generally
do "nmake /f makefile.vc clean" before building the software
again. 

The version info from mapserv.exe indicates that GDAL is not
yet enabled.

I tried some fiddling with linefeeds, but did'nt succeed. A textfile
(either csv or txt extension) fails to work as a virtual datasource with me.

Yep, you are right. OgrInfo (using driver CSV) sees features now, but
only when reading it straigt from disk. If I feed it to ogr via a odbc
connection (needed for virtual datascources (isn't it???)). It still
says 0 features, because it uses the VRT driver.

ogrinfo puntenlaag.ovf punten
ERROR 4: Update access not supported for VRT datasources.
Had to open data source read-only.
INFO: Open of `puntenlaag.ovf'
using driver `VRT' successful.
Layer name: punten

or

INFO: Open of `ODBC:puntenlaagdsn'
using driver `ODBC' successful.
Layer name: testpoints.csv

Q1: Can I force it(ogr/mapserver) to use the CSV driver?

Q2: is there another way/workaround to use textbased files as
datasources (on *ix)?


To give some context: I want to build a testing webapp where
(web)clients can add some points. The points are (sessionbased) put in
there own txtfile. So they would see only there own points. It would be
easy for me to just delete all textfiles after one or two day.
I can off course do it using mysql or another database, but thought txt
based would be easy and sufficient.

TIA

Richard

Richard, 

You don't need to use ODBC as the source for VRT datasets. 
Input from any OGR supportted format is legal.   The CSV driver
was specifically implemented for lightweight input to the VRT driver
on Unix where the ODBC issues are often messy.

If you can't get OGR access to your CSV file working through a
VRT file email me the .vrt and .csv and I'll take a look.

Subject: Raster Legend Entries without Classification
Message-ID: <FRI.6.MAY.2005.130758.0400.FWARMERDAMGMAIL.COM>

Folks,

There has been a desire by raster users to be able to have an entry
appear in legends for raster layers without having to force the raster
layer to be rendered using classification.  In the past having a class
on the raster would force the raster layer to be rendered using
classification rules, instead of it's inherent colors - but a class
was the only convenient way to have a layer appear in the legend. 

After discussion with Steve I have made a change in the GDAL 
based raster rendering to only use classification rules for rendering
if at least one class has a non-NULL expression.   So, it should be
no problem now to use a dummy class with a KEYIMAGE or other
mechanism to get a legend entry for a raster layer without classifying
it. 

This should become widely available in 4.6.0 beta2. 

Best regards,

Hi Erik,

I just re-installed my system so I am not able to help you short-term.
Maybe I'll find some time this weekend to create 4.4.2 binaries of
mapscript including Oracle support. I'll compile with the Oracle 10g
client.

Hi Stephanie,

I don't think a lot of Mapserver users are using MyGIS (or I must be
mistaken, which is possible ofcourse :) ). And probably not using the WFS
interface.

I never succeeded in compiling the Perl utility on Windows for loading the
shapefiles into MySQL. But probably compiling Mapserver against the MySQL
libraries won't be too hard.

If I would be in your shoes I would be moving to PostgreSQL/PostGIS.

Best regards,
Bart

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Raster Legend Entries without Classification


Folks,

There has been a desire by raster users to be able to have an entry
appear in legends for raster layers without having to force the raster
layer to be rendered using classification.  In the past having a class
on the raster would force the raster layer to be rendered using
classification rules, instead of it's inherent colors - but a class
was the only convenient way to have a layer appear in the legend.

After discussion with Steve I have made a change in the GDAL
based raster rendering to only use classification rules for rendering
if at least one class has a non-NULL expression.   So, it should be
no problem now to use a dummy class with a KEYIMAGE or other
mechanism to get a legend entry for a raster layer without classifying
it.

This should become widely available in 4.6.0 beta2.

Best regards,

I agree entirely! MyGIS is comparatively slow and
lacks the rich feature set of PostGIS.

And, last I heard, support for MySQL 4.1's true
spatial stuff isn't forthcoming in MapServer any time
soon.

If you mean the shp2mysql.pl program, I posted a fix
for this a few months ago to mapserver-dev. I still
have that (minor but vital) fix in my mail, if
anyone's interested.

There is a way to limit how far one zooms out by MAP::MAXSCALE.  But
you may be correct in that you can't control panning extents in the
map file.  Sorry.  However, if you know if the most basic scripting,
this should be easy to cook up on your own.

Hi,
Trying to add an 8 bit landsat image to my mapfile, but it's showing up as
all black.
In ArcMap, it's black until I set the symbology to stretched - Histogram
Equalize.

I can't find any documentation for setting a similar parameter in my map
file.

Can anybody help me out?

Kevin,

Generally speaking I would suggest pre-stretching 8bit imagery 
externally with an imaging tool.  But if you want, you can force it
within MapServer using the SCALE processing option.   For instance
adding the following line to your raster layer. 

  PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO"

duh, I think I tried all combinations now :-0

all info I could google or find was about ODBC vrt's. IF it's possible
maybe it's an idea to put a vrt and csv file in the helpfile of
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_vrt.html as an non odbc example?

Here is a vrt file:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
<OGRVRTLayer name="testpoints">

<SrcLayer>testpoints.csv</SrcLayer>
<GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
<LayerSRS>epsg:28992</LayerSRS>
<GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="x" y="y"/>
</OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

here is a csv file example:

text,x,y
test,100000,400000
test2,110000,411000

tried relativeToVRT="1" and relative paths
tried CSV:prefix
...
tried ../ovr/testpoints.csv

What's my problem?

Richard,

Try:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
  <OGRVRTLayer name="testpoints">
    <SrcDataSource relativeToVRT="1">testpoints.csv</SrcDataSource>
    <SrcLayer>testpoints</SrcLayer>
    <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
    <LayerSRS>epsg:28992</LayerSRS>
    <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="x" y="y"/>
  </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

I generally avoid using the directory name for the datasource as it will
only be recognised as a csv datasource if at least half the files in it
are .csv files.   The above worked fine for me:
Had to open data source read-only.

Subject: Possible Proxy Server problem
Message-ID: <FRI.6.MAY.2005.161836.0400.BONKEOSDATA.GSFC.NASA.GOV>

We have been having trouble getting our mapserver to retrieve data from
remote machines.  I suspect the problem may be connecting through our proxy
server.

We have specified our proxy server in a .dodsrc file, and we have been able
to retreive data from a dods server.  But we still can't retrieve files
from wms servers.

Is there something special that has to be done to tell mapserv to go
through a proxy when retrieving data from a wms server?

The map file is below.  It works on another machine that does not have a
proxy server.

Any help will be appreciated,
John

I forgot that for Mapserver OCI queries to work properly, binaries need to
be compiled against Visual Studio 7. I don't have access to that anymore.

The only binaries I still have are Mapserver 4.5 (CVS version Feb 2005).

http://www.xs4all.nl/~bartvde/mapscript45oci.zip

It is compiled against Oracle client 10.1.0.2 so you will need that.
Please note that the php_mapscript.dll depends on all the dll's in the
download, so also libmap.dll. PHP will need to be able to access all those
dll's, and additionally oci.dll, which I can't distribute.

MapServer version 4.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER
INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE
DEBUG=MSDEBUG

Let me know how it goes.

Best regards,
Bart

I was hoping someone could provide me with some basic info regarding raster
dataset. I want to display a regional DEM covering approximatly 270000 sq km
with the ability to allow the user to query the elevation in Mapserver.
What raster format would be the best allowing me to retain the elevation
data but also provide maximum drawing speed.  I haven't yet created the
dem's (I'll be using ESRI's Spatial Analyst and 3d Analyst)and don't want to
waste time producing a product that is useless.
Thanks for your time

Travis,
I'd highly recommend keeping your data in GeoTIFF format.  There are ways to optimise the display in MapServer for TIFF imagery.  I find that the overhead involved with decompression some compressed formats, isn't worth it.  If you have lots of drive space, stick with TIFF.

I can't speak to the querying ability.  I don't know the status of it in MapServer at present, but I remember some talk about it.

Good luck.
Tyler

Okay, talked some more with Fernando. Seems Visual Studio 6 using SP4 and
above should also do the trick. I am using SP6 now.

Quite some work has been done on Oracle Spatial in Mapserver lately, so
the best version to go with is 4.6 beta1.

I have put down a binary at:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~bartvde/mapscript46beta1oci.zip

MapServer version 4.6.0-beta1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG
OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT
INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

Best regards,
Bart

Bart,

Setting http_proxy in the environment didn't work.  I'll see if I can get
someone with permission to change the httpd.conf.

I'm not entirely sure the fire wall is to blame.  All I know is that the
map file works on a machine without a fire wall.

Thank you for the response,
John

  - php4.3.11 (cgi-mode)
  - mapserver-4.4.2-win32-php4.3.11.zip
  - postgresql-8.0.2.zip
  - postgis-setup-1.0.0-1.exe


When using the original Shape Files (DATA "county.shp" and DATA
"netbts.shp")
as the Layer-Data instead, everything works.
Also, when using either queryByPoint or queryByRect, everything works.


Any help would be most appreciated.

For simple souls like me examples are very descriptive (specially if
there are little quircks like "more then x% of files should be .csv" ;-).
Hopefully this thread comes up now when other souls are searching for
non-odbc examples (hum, shouldnt' I avoid the word odbc here; so people
can google/or search for 'NOT containing odbc'...)

Again, Thanks for your time. I owe you a beer/wine/coffee when you're in

Hi John,

For Microsoft IIS an environment variable works. For Apache you need to
use SetEnv in httpd.conf. Your problem does sound like a proxy problem to
me.

Let us know after httpd.conf gets changed.

Best regards,

Hi Uwe,

are you able to try with 4.6 beta1? Maybe you even need to update
mapquery.c from current CVS.

I had a few querybyshape crashes also with 4.4.2, some of them were
solved, but not all of them. They disappeared magically when I moved to
4.6 beta1 and got a fix for bug 1335.

This might or might not be related:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1335

Assefa: "There was a missing call to msInitShape in function
msQueryByShape. I have
corrected this the cvs head."

Best regards,
Bart

Subject: Generating Google Tiles With mapserver
Message-ID: <SAT.7.MAY.2005.105331.0400.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

Hi all,

I posted about generating google-like tiles using mapserver earlier. I
took it to the next step of writing a perl/mapscript script to compute
the cellsize for each zoom scale and used that to compute the number of
tiles I would need to generate to cover my map extents. I thought I
would share the results with you. You can probably save maybe 20-30% on
the number of tiles if you can recognize all water only tiles and
eliminate them, but this leaves you with 70-80% of what looks like
infinity for most of us.

        Scale   Num Tiles
   ---------- -----------
     50000000         256
      4000000        3072
      1000000       40960
       500000      150784
       150000     1634816
        50000    14586880
        15000   161796096
        10000   363410944
         5000  1453643776
         2700  4984920576
   ---------- -----------
  Total Tiles  6980188160
  Approx. Disk Space (assume 3K per tile) = 21,443,138,027,520

SOoooo, it requires about 7 Billion 128x128 tiles and assuming that the
average tile size is about 3K (the smallest tile that I have seen google
return) it requires 21 Tera bytes of disk space. It gets worse!

If you assume you can generate 1000 tiles minute (16+/sec) then:

6,980,188,160 / 1000 tiles/min / 60 min/hr / 24 hr/day / 365 day/yr =
13.3 yrs

   1,000 tiles/min = 13.3 yr =  4847 days
  10,000 tiles/min = 1.33 yr =   485 days
100,000 tiles/min = 0.13 yr =    49 days

The only way to do the higher generation rates is in a highly
distributed environment or you run into I/O bottle necks both reading
and writing data.

Oh yeah, I only used 10 zoom scales above, Google has 15, so you do the
math :)

An alternative to pre generating the tiles, is generating them on the
fly as they are need and caching them, then removing the least used ones
over time. This is a much more complicated scenario and requires a lot
of additional code to manage them. Also you can not just generate a
single tile as needed because of the way mapserver handles dynamic
placement of labels. You would need to generate a "super" tile of say
8x8 or 16x16 tiles and chop it into the standard tiles. I looked at
generating a 16x16 super tile at 2048x2048 pixels that would get chopped
into 256 tiles for pre-generation, but 6x6 tiles (768x768 pixels) might
be better for dynamic generation. You would have to find the sweet spot
where the super tile is large enough to minimize labeling issues and
small enough the it generates and chops quickly.

Subject: A demo of Generating Google Tiles With mapserver
In-Reply-To: 6667
Message-ID: <SAT.7.MAY.2005.084308.0700.SAINTSJDYAHOO.COM>

I have implemented a demo using python mapscript and
mapserver that gives very basic functionality simillar
to google maps.

I do not pre-render maps at the various scales.
mapscale are rendered on the fly and the indiviual
tile images are sent directly to the user - never
saved on disk.  I know this will cause problems for
labeling, but there may be a way around this with some
DHTML tricks.

Please remember that this demo is running off of my
desktop computer over a wifi connection. performance
may be very slow and my poor desktop might crash with
too many hits. I offer only a proof of concept and
welcome coments from the list.

Right now the demo only works in Mozilla Firefox (on
Win, Linux and OsX).  If you zoom in far enough on the
washington DC map you will see aerial photos.

Great it works perfect with my PC , running firefox. Amazing and its
quite fast. The Washington DC example could use some labels I want to
find the White House !!!

Hope you can share your implementation with the mailing list soon, this
has great potential !

Jon,

Very nice demo and performace is very good also. I would be interested
in converting it to perl/mapscript and help to improve it.

Steve,

Don't you mean "help to obfuscate it"? :)

Sweet work, Jon!  Yves Moisan and I need to talk to you about whether
we can use this code in our Plone mapping product.

cheers,
Sean

Sean,

Yeah, that is exactly what I meant! :) Jon has done an great job of
getting something working, while I have only generated a lot of really
BIG numbers. I'd rather be putting my time to adding features to the
cool work Jon has done instead following in his foot steps and probably
not doing it as well.

-Steve

Subject: queryByShape on PostGIS-Layer segfault in php-mapscript
Message-ID: <SAT.7.MAY.2005.124306.0200.UJUNGEPMCENTRAL.COM>

Thank You very much Bart.

Unfortunatly, I rely at this time completely on the binary package made
available
at maptools.org; the latest version there is
mapserver-4.5-win32-php4.3.7.zip
built on March-15.  So let's wait ...

The function to do queries-by-shape are essential to our application.
Yesterday, I tried PostGis 1.0.0 and was really pleased (see further down) .
Currently, all the data, including dynamically generated data, are
sourced as shapefiles
in a multi-server arrangement.  The overhead to distribute dynamically
generated data  to serveral servers is quit significant at this time.

Of course, additional functionality can be developed around the application
when using PostGis as an additional source, in partiular when it comes
- to large Attribut-Datasets (for example Census SF1 & SF3 with about
16K Attributes) that needs to be sourced for thematic maps,
- or when using serveral mapservers in parallel with dynamic content
stored on one single PostGis-Server.
Developing a separate, scripted direct search on PostGis on the back-end
is not an option,
since the overhead to append the results one-by-one to the
mapserver-query-result-set (*.qyr), on which the application relies, is
way to much.

Just for interest, let me summarize my experience with mapserver:

I made several attempts to build php_mapscript.dll from the sources with
ms vc, together with
postgres/postgis on cygwin, spend a lot of time and never got it working.
So i focus on application development instead an use the binary packages
for the installations.
Fortunatly, i found yesterday the brand new installers for postgres 80
and postgis;
- it took me 4 hours to install, to write a script and to import 1Gig
worth of Tiger-shape files and
geocoded database content.
I'm **very** pleased about the speed of mapserver in conjunction with
postgis,
there is only a relatively small rendering-time difference (varying
between 0..30%)
for the colocated, postgres server out-of-the-box compared to reading
the indexed shape files (tiles) directly !
The PostGis-Team did a great job with their new Version 1.0.0.

Also, i'm **very** pleased about the very small foot-print of
php_mapscript compared to other
GIS-servers. Map-File and Layer-Managment are anyway custom, so these
additional
capabilities of  'competing products'  are of no use (for us) anyway.

To my surprise, rendering time (ca 30 Gig of mapdata browsed) on my new
notebook (mobile Athlon 3700+,1Gig Ram with a 7.200 rpm HD on USB2.0)
was significantly faster compared to development- or the production server
(Dual Xeon 2.4-2.8GHz, 4Gig RAM, SCSI Raid10 15K rpm HD)  !!!!!!
Of course I know when more user simultaniously access the services, this
situation will change.
But the lesson learned for mapserver is to spend the money for the
processors and not for the disks.

Last year we also made an attempt to to use Linux (32bit) for the
mapservers, apart from getting
php_mapscript working, rendering was significantly slower compared to
W2K on the same hardware.
But that should change when using 64bit versions and hardware.

Thanks for being a good sport about my Python vs Perl joke :)

I'm sure there would be a lot of javascript that could be shared
regardless of the mapscripting language.

Steve,

Yeah, it's for labels only.  You'll need an area attribute.  In several
apps I've sorted water bodies, parks, etc by area and then use the
maxfeatures directive to render just the first N (ie largest) features
within a map view.  Works great.  If you have a RDBMS backend, you can
have it order and limit for you.

cheers,
Sean

True the server side could be implemented in any
language that talks mapscript and xml.

The front end is an simple xmlHTTPrequest javascript
client.

As far as labeling I would like to generate label
points for polygons and render the labels as DHTML on
the client side.

I wanted to say a special thanks to Sean Gillies and
all others for their work creating and documenting
mapscript.

Jon,

One thing I noticed is that at certain scales your map tiles appear
to overlap somewhat. I had this problem with my first essays at this
when Google Maps came out. I suspected at the time that it was because
my map was unprojected - what are your tiles projected in?

I have been working on an Ajax front-end with a Python MapScript
backend.

    http://geocoder.us/surfer/docs/

I will be releasing this the source code to this very shortly. Adding
tiling is on my to-do list (as is drag-to-pan). Recommendations and
tips are welcome.

It works !!!

Thank you so much for your support.

I really appreciate the manner, how You spend personal time and efforts
to help out. Hopefully i have some time in the future to contribute my

Message-ID: <SUN.8.MAY.2005.002146.0500.FISHINGWINDHOTMAIL.COM>

Hi, all
I've been compiling Mapserver 4.4.2 under a linux box these days.
When using the php_mapscript, I can draw the map successfully.
While using the CGI version, I always get the same problem:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, xxx at xxx.com and inform
them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache/2.0.53 (Unix) PHP/4.3.10 Resin/3.0.12 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80

And in /usr/local/apache2/logs/error.log I find this:
"Premature end of script headers: mapserv, referer:
http://127.0.0.1/mapserver/mi.html"

Sounds to be bad configuration of Apache? but I just can't figure out where
I could be wrong. Could someone help me? Any idea will be appreciated!

Thanks very much!!

At the moment sometimes streetnames roll over symbols.

#-------------------
$myLayer = $gpoMap->getLayerByName("MooringBuoy");
$myLayer->Open();
$myShape = $myLayer->getShape(-1,5);
$Result = $MyShape->values["keyword"];
print_r($Result);
$myLayer->Close();

#------------------

However, the print_r function didn't print anything. Anything wrong with my
code ?

Thank.

Subject: Changing the imagepath in PHP?
Message-ID: <SUN.8.MAY.2005.104159.0500.COVARIANCESHAW.CA>

Is is possible to have the map images redirected by changing the imagepath
and imageurl ? And is it possible to do this in Windows?

In my web page I have the following lines:

        $map->web->imagepath = "C:/Apache/htdocs/Mpages/MuralMaps/";
        $map->web->imageurl = "/Mpages/MuralMaps/";

In my .map file I have the following lines:

  WEB
    IMAGEPATH "c:/Apache/htdocs/temp/"
    IMAGEURL "/temp/"
    MAXSCALE 228000
    MINSCALE 200
  END

after running the php code the image stays in the location named in the .map
file and doesn't get redirected to the location set in the php code.

I am running PHP 4.3.11 and PHP MapScript version 4.5 on Windows 2000 PRO.

Am I doing something wrong?

thanks,
        Bob Bruce, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Bob,

you need to use the set function to change attributes:

$map->web->set("imagepath", "C:/Apache/htdocs/Mpages/MuralMaps/");
$map->web->set("imageurl", "/Mpages/MuralMaps/");

Best regards,

Message also posted to the Debian-GIS mailing list 

Hi,

I'm running the mapserver Sarge package with the latest Postgis package
from Debian-GIS.

I'm having problem using booleans as EXPRESSION in my .map file.
Mapserver does not seem to succeed in the expression evaluation. I do
not see any point when using EXPRESSION.

Here is the mapserver class :

		CLASS
                        NAME "test"
                        EXPRESSION ([moved] = 't')
                        COLOR 255 0 0
                        OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
                        SIZE 10
                        SYMBOL "circle"
                END


And here is the table definition  :

CREATE TABLE mapping
(
  id varchar(50) NOT NULL, 
  moved bool DEFAULT false,
  cartopoint geometry,
  CONSTRAINT id PRIMARY KEY (id),
  CONSTRAINT enforce_dims_cartopoint CHECK (ndims(cartopoint) = 2),
  CONSTRAINT enforce_geotype_cartopoint CHECK (geometrytype(cartopoint)
= 'POINT'::text OR cartopoint IS NULL),
  CONSTRAINT enforce_srid_cartopoint CHECK (srid(cartopoint) = 4326)
) 


How can I make that work ? I tried to use the text(bool) function inside
Postgres and that works perfectly well : 

select text(moved) from tblgeomapping where text(moved)='t';


Any help is welcome.

Didrik

All,

First time dipping my toe in the GIS world after many years of wanting to
get into it.  Finally have a project that I can leverage with mapserver and
I'm immediately in over my head on trying to figure out what goes into the
TFW file.

I'm attempting to create a raster tile index with the images within
http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/stanislaus/maps/emigrant/ -- I've made a similar
layout of the larger images at
http://www.snfv.org/forum/schedule/em_map_big.html that I'm actually going
to be using the images from, the first link shows how the images are already
laid out in a tile like setting.

I've spent a couple of days digging around thru google trying to figure out
what the values inside the TFW file would equate to but I'm stumped.  How
would I figure out what the pixel width is for X & Y?  are the last 2 coords
in UTM?  I've read the HOWTO at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/raster-howto.html but it doesn't go into
much detail, seems like it assumes that you know the values prior to writing
the TFW file.  I've also read thru the geotiff spec at
http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/spec/contents.html too but it didn't
help me either.

The project I'm starting would create a layer(s) on this map that would show
issues in the wilderness area such as wet trails, heavy mosquitos, trails
under repair, etc.

Thanks in advance

Mike

The values in a world file are in the units of the map projection.  Not
all maps use the UTM projection, so the units are not always UTM units.

The source map appears to be a standard scan of the printed map which
uses (see lower right corner) a "Polyconic Projection" in the NAD27
datum.  You need to find out the details of that polyconic projection in
order to understand the units.

If you don't know the mathematical parameters of the map projection,
you're not going to get very far (at least not accurately).  Someone on
the list may know the parameters used for this FS map - it's probably
pretty straightforward.

You can relax things a bit if you're simply trying to display the data.
If you don't really care about coordinates, AND if you don't intend to
integrate other data sets with this one, you can just make things up.
You can put pixel coordinates in the world file.  The last two lines are
the X and Y coordinates of the upper-left pixel.  If you make your units
pixels, with the usual Y-value decreasing as you go down, then the world
file for the top-left image would be:

1.0
0.0
0.0
-1.0
0.0
0.0

Meaning each pixel is 1x1 "units" and the top left is at (0,0).  If the
upper-left tile is 673 pixels wide and 795 pixels high, then the next
tile to the right would have the world file:

1.0
0.0
0.0
-1.0
673.0
0.0

That is, exactly the same but with the X starting point 673 units to the
right.  The tile below it would be:

1.0
0.0
0.0
-1.0
0.0
-795.0

Because you're moving down in the Y coordinate to negative numbers.

This sort of world file will work fine for displaying those tiles.  If
you need real geographic coordinates, you'll need to figure out the map
projection.

By the way, since these are JPEG images, the standard world file
extension is JGW, not TFW.  I would highly recommend that you convert
your images to TIFF and use TFW files; JPEG is a very poor choice for
geospatial data, and your performance will suffer.  TIFF is much better
for this purpose.

internals

All,

First time dipping my toe in the GIS world after many years of wanting
to get into it.  Finally have a project that I can leverage with
mapserver and I'm immediately in over my head on trying to figure out
what goes into the TFW file.

I'm attempting to create a raster tile index with the images within
http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/stanislaus/maps/emigrant/ -- I've made a similar
layout of the larger images at
http://www.snfv.org/forum/schedule/em_map_big.html that I'm actually
going to be using the images from, the first link shows how the images
are already laid out in a tile like setting.

I've spent a couple of days digging around thru google trying to figure
out what the values inside the TFW file would equate to but I'm stumped.
How would I figure out what the pixel width is for X & Y?  are the last
2 coords in UTM?  I've read the HOWTO at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/raster-howto.html but it doesn't go
into much detail, seems like it assumes that you know the values prior
to writing the TFW file.  I've also read thru the geotiff spec at
http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/spec/contents.html too but it
didn't help me either.

The project I'm starting would create a layer(s) on this map that would
show issues in the wilderness area such as wet trails, heavy mosquitos,
trails under repair, etc.

Thanks in advance

Mike

Subject: Standard Classes/Styles for GNIS data?
Message-ID: <SUN.8.MAY.2005.230441.0400.BILLBINKO.NET>

Hi everyone

I just added the GNIS "names" data to many of my maps here.  I was
wondering if anyone had any classes/style setup for them, or perhaps any
guidelines.

The dataset is kindof a mismash of items (Schools, Islands, Streams,
'PPL's), and just figuring out what's in there will be a challenge, let
alone setting up classes/styles/symbols for all of them.

They do a great job of "grounding" the maps: users can tell where they are
by the well known names.  However, it's a bit daunting since the dataset
only describes the "DESIG" as "Designation of the feature (PPL = Populated
Place)".  Also, since the data comes at the county level, I can't just do
a select distinct DESIG from it to see what they are (at least not until I
setup a virtual dataset that merges them-- a new attempt for me).

Anyway, the data seems so standard that I thought I might get some advice
from the list.

Thanks
Bill

Ed,

Thanks for the response

Was thinking about this while driving around awhile ago, if I know the
UTM or lat/long of each corner of each image couldn't I determine the
distance across the map in meters or feet and then divide that by 673 to
get pixel X value?  And then do the same for the top to bottom of each
image and divide by 795 to come up with a pixel Y unit value?

Dear mapserver developers,
I would like to have in mapserver "delimit pan extent" feature without
using scripting. Often I make webmap for small area terrains, and if you
pan again and again you will go in uniform background area, because you
will not find any more features. I know that a normal user will
understand that he is at the end of the map, but I would like to have
the possibility to set these properties.


Thank you for all your great work,

Mike -

Your first email suggested a calculation based on coordinates of the
image corners.  That will require you to understand the details of the
projection, as I mentioned in my first email.  Getting UTM coordinates
of the corners of a map that's not in UTM projection won't help you
project it correctly.

If by "standard USGS topo maps" you mean USGS DRG scanned map images,
you may have an easier job of it.  Unfortunately, California did their
own thing in creating the scanned DRGs.  It's the ONLY state where the
standard DRG map projection is NOT UTM.  It's an Albers projection
created just for the purpose.  And then California stopped dealing with
the updates, so any updated DRGs were produced by the USGS in their UTM
standard, so you may actually end up with a mix of map types.

There are several firms (TopoZone is one) who sell "standardized"
topographic maps, so you can get a single, seamless, UTM-projected image
of the area you want.  You may not be able to get the exact same map
image you're using now, so you should look around and decide whether
that alternative is useful to you.

Andrea,

Start by looking for examples of placing a points on maps. There has
been a lot of discussion on how to create a virtual data source like
mysql and to draw points on the map.

Some people have then used image maps of these points and DHTML to popup
images when the mouse rolls over the point.

Alternatively, you can create symbols out of you image files, and place
them on the map using the same technique as place the points above.

You will probably want to create a template layer in your mapfile, then
use mapscript or cgi parameters to set the location in lat/long and the
symbol image path.

Dear list,

I am having a problem getting my line thickness adjusted to any size other

        POINTS

  END

and in my map file I have a shapefile of type line that references this
symbol:

LAYER

        TYPE LINE
        TILEINDEX "C:\layer.shp"

END

However, this gives me this error:

getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near (circle):(line 56)


Commenting out "SYMBOL circle" displays a single pixel line

Thanks for any advice,

The best practice is to pre-split them into separate files!

There is no mechanism currently for querying based on geometry
type in MapServer or OGR.   I briefly looked into adding some sort
of capability to do this in OGR but it seems pretty involved.  It could
be hacked into the OGR connector for MapServer pretty easiliy
though.  Something along the lines of a PROCESSING directive
that only works for connection type OGR.  

You might want to file an enhancement request to this effect.
Keep in mind that it wouldn't be terrible efficient since it would 
need to scan the source layer once for each map layer, just
discarding features with the wrong geometry type once they have
been read.

Subject: Pulling points from MySQL using php/phpmapscript - SWF output
Message-ID: <MON.9.MAY.2005.100104.0400.GEOFFREY.ROWLANDNOAA.GOV>

Hi,

I am storing points + location info in a table in MySQL.  I can pull the
points from MySQL using PHP, and then draw the points on a map.  Works
great.  However, I want to associate some information with those points
(location name, and some other info).  I am outputting the maps to SWF
format.  I would like the associated information in the MySQL database
to show up when someone clicks on the point (or just passes the mouse
over the point).

What is the best way to go about doing this?

Gerard,

Could it be a parsing error somewhere above the 'circle' definition
(line 56 points to several symbols above) OR is 'circle' a reserved name?
What if you change the symbol name or move the definition to the top?

Not sure if it makes a difference but you could try putting quotes around
'circle'.

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately, we don't have an SDE license so we can't test this, but
SDE connections should work fine from maplab assuming your mapserver
has support compiled in. You will have to look at the Mapserver
documentation and user-list archives for details on what is required
in an SDE layer.

Also, Jeff can better comment on this, but I don't think ms4w includes
SDE support so you may have to create your own binaries to handle
this.

that?s what we do: add a column in Mapinfo with the geometry type,
define two layers (or more, depending on the number of geometry types)
in the mapfile and use a filteritem to distinguish between the different
geometry types.

Jeff's probably right. I misinterpreted the parse error to be the wrong

Subject: Determine the current viewport(imgext) in map mode
Message-ID: <MON.9.MAY.2005.094322.0500.E.WITTEVEENHAWARIT.COM>

Hello,

Currently i'm working on my own viewer to view a map(based upon a url).
I use mapserver only to generate the map image(mapserver has to functionate
stateless). When my viewer starts the image will be shown from the location:
  http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&map=/ms4w/apps/test.map

In order to perform a zoom(i want to stay in the map mode),  i need to know
the current viewport. How can i query this?  (i need to know the current
imgext parameters, so i can determine the new zoom in my code)
I know that i could hardcode the imgext parameters in my application, but
i'd rather query this from the mapserver.

Stephan, 

I looked through mapogr.cpp and there is no obvios reasons
why shapeObj's read through OGR would not have their
bounds set properly.  When you say that the extents
are set fine with shapefiles or PostGIS do you mean accessing
the shapefiles or PostGIS through OGR or using the direct support
for these types in MapServer? 

I would suggest that you submit a bug report via bugzilla
including the a sample data file, and a minimal script demonstrating
your problem.

Any ideas about what would be requried to adapt this to IIS?  The only
test server I have available at work is a win2003 box :-(

If anyone has a publicly available version up and running I would love
to see it.

Thanks for the code, looking foreward to setting it up on my OS X box at home.

Subject: How to enable SLD in Mapserver?
Message-ID: <MON.9.MAY.2005.133710.0500.BOBBYFUNGHOTMAIL.COM>

Hello,

I tried to enalbe SLD on my Mapserver but I can't make it work. The
following is the parameters that I used to configure the Makefile:

./configure --without-tiff --without-eppl --with-threads --with-proj
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-ogr --with-gd=/usr/local
--with-freetype=/usr/bin  --with-ming --with-wmsclient --with-wfs
--with-wfsclient


The mapserv CGI works all right but it just won't take my SLD script. I
tested with the mapfile, sld scipt and shape files from the "MapServer OGC
Web Services Workshop" (http://devgeo.cciw.ca/ms_ogc_workshop/index.html)
and it doesn't work either. So I think it's my CGI's problem. Am I missing
anything?


I appreciate any help! Thanks.

No. I think I am using direct connections for both PostGIS and shape. I
will try if using an OGR-Shape-Connection will give correct shapeObj-

If not, I come back to you and probably fill a bug report.

The problem is that the map I got from mapserver throught WMS looks the same
as I didn't included the SLD parameter. And I am sure that the SLD script
and the mapfile is correct since I took them directly from "MapServer OGC
Web Services Workshop".

I have attached the mapfile and sld file to this email anyway.

Thanks!

This is the url with sld parameter:

And this is the url without sld:

I got exactly a same image from these two url....

I have created a sample dataset with a small snippet and both mapinfo-
tabs and shapedata, it is located here:

http://www.gdf-hannover.de/holl/tmp/example_mapinfo_problem.tar.gz

Perhaps you can have a look at it and point me to a solution for the
problem.

the mapinfo-tab-files were created with ogr2ogr from the shape-file.
I would really like to have this working, because I do not want to
convert all mapinfo-tabs to shape...

Thank you for your help

Subject: itemquery
Message-ID: <MON.9.MAY.2005.214355.0200.LLUISGMGMAIL.COM>

Hi list,

I'm trying to implement the itemquery option shown in mapserver test
suite. As I could read in old messages, the filter option isn't needed
anymore and now requires the qlayer, qitem and qstring.

I can display the item query also with a query map, but my problem is
to adjust the qstring in order to select the item from a text list. I
can just display the item query  if I write the exact item that I want
in the qstring.

This is the html from where I want to launch the itemquery. As you see
I must specify in the qstring the item, how can I get the item from

Stephan, 

The problem with your script is that you are passing "0" for the
"shapeid".  For TAB files the feature ids are assigned sequentially
starting at 1, so in this case your getShape() isn't finding any shape.
 
Specific OGR drivers use different schemes for how to assign 
shapids.  For Shapefiles they start at zero.  for mapinfo files they
start at 1.  For DGN files they are "sparse" and indicate the sequential
element in the file corresponding to the feature (not all elements count
as features though). 

So, what you need is a way to fetch the first shape without assumption
about what feature id that might be.  That is fairly straight forward if you
use a query on the layer to get a list of shapeid's.  There may be
other sensible means too, that I am not familiar with.

In summary, there is no apparent bug, just confusion about legal
fetching mechanisms.

Best regards,

Subject: Projection and EXTENTS
Message-ID: <MON.9.MAY.2005.171846.0500.MATTMSILEADS.COM>

I am trying to create a projection a map of the state of Missouri that
was created by the US Census Bureau(zt29_d00.shp).

I used ogrinfo to get the following information about the EXTENT:

[imac-dev03:~/Documents] matthewr% ogrinfo -so zt29_d00.shp zt29_d00
INFO: Open of `zt29_d00.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: zt29_d00
Geometry: Polygon
Feature Count: 1341
Extent: (-95.774704, 35.995683) - (-89.098843, 40.613640)
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
AREA: Real (20.5)
PERIMETER: Real (20.5)

ZCTA: String (5.0)
NAME: String (90.0)
LSAD: String (2.0)
LSAD_TRANS: String (50.0)

Then, I used proj4 to find lat long values for the a Lambert Azimuthal
Equal Area projection.

[imac-dev03:~/Documents] matthewr% proj +proj=laea +ellps=clrk66 +R_A

-89.098843 40.613640
-6798293.00     5830370.88

When I use these values with MapServer to make a map, nothing shows up.
  Am I missing something.  Should I post this question in this list or
in the MapServer User's group? Any help would be appreciated.

Below is copy of my map file also,

I see. THanks for pointing this out. I will check how I can adopt my

Hi,

Rebol (www.rebol.com) or to be more exact Rebol/View is very suitable for
making Mapserver client apps, also available as IE browser plugin.

I wrote an example in Rebol that uses tutorial example data from:
http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/mapserv40?map=/data/projects/tutorial/ex
ample2-1.map&mode=browse

Example in plugin mode could be found at:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/run-plugin.r?script-name=cl4mapse
rv.r

Or downloaded from:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/download-a-script.r?script-name=c
l4mapserv.r
This way is more suitable for those, that have no Win IE, but then you
should download Rebol/View (avalable for many platforms) - to run script.

Also a question:
Did I understand right, that in case when mapext variable and also image map
coordinates is calculated at the client side, than to get accurate image map
coordinates client should take care about maintaining the same proportions
between image size and mapext size?

Hi,

I am no projection expert but I can imagine your shapefile isn't in EPSG 26797 (or did convert your shapefile to that projection). The LAYER PROJECTION should have the source projection of the data in it, the MAP PROJECTION should contain the target projection you want.

was created by the US Census Bureau(zt29_d00.shp).

I used ogrinfo to get the following information about the EXTENT:

[imac-dev03:~/Documents] matthewr% ogrinfo -so zt29_d00.shp zt29_d00
INFO: Open of `zt29_d00.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: zt29_d00
Geometry: Polygon
Feature Count: 1341
Extent: (-95.774704, 35.995683) - (-89.098843, 40.613640)
Layer SRS WKT:

LSAD: String (2.0)
LSAD_TRANS: String (50.0)

Then, I used proj4 to find lat long values for the a Lambert Azimuthal
Equal Area projection.

-89.098843 40.613640
-6798293.00     5830370.88

When I use these values with MapServer to make a map, nothing shows up.
  Am I missing something.  Should I post this question in this list or
in the MapServer User's group? Any help would be appreciated.

Below is copy of my map file also,

Thanks, Frank, Bart and Arnulf!

Sounds convincing, I think I will give PostGIS a try.
But - how am I going to explain this to the data providers?! Are there
possibilities to build a bridge between Access and PostgreSQL?
I am afraid, the workload of putting it all together has to be done by many
volunteers (who are not necessarily used to work with relational databases).
So we thought it was a good idea to have Access in between. Additionally,
the data will also be updated quite frequently.
Any suggestion on how to make things easy for these people (without doing it
all myself for the next few years)??

Perhaps somebody on this list has solved a similar situation? Should be
quite common, I guess.

Hi Stefanie,

there are probably some thoughts in the following article:

http://www.greenleaftech.net/articles/msaccesspostgres/document_view

Will the data providers have access to the main database? Then you could use ODBC and use Access as the frontend to the PostgreSQL database to get them to fill the database.

Hello,

I'm trying to use Python MapScript.

I have installed the Windows binaries supplied by Howard
(mapscript-4.5.win32-py2.3-full.exe from 9-5-2005) on a Windows XP Pro (IIS
5.1) system with Python 2.3.5.

Python scripts do run under IIS but when trying to access the Python
Mapscript module I get the following error:

  File "C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\mapscript.py", line 4, in ?
    import _mapscript
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.


The problem seems to be in the 'import _mapscript' part. The file
_mapscript.pyd is located in C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\, together with
mapscript.py and other files.

What can be the reason for not finding the module?

As test I've tried renaming the file (to _mapscript.dll and _mapscript)
without succes.

The files in C:\Python23 and ub folders are given the needed Windows IUSR
rights.

Regards,

Emil

Hello Emil,

I had the same problem, but then with Python Mapscript and an Apache
webserver. I have posted about it on this list. The problem is probably
caused by some environment variables which are not recognized by your
webserver (path and/or pythonpath). I have solved the problem by copying the
mapscript.py and _mapscript.pyd to a directory which contains other Python
modules of which I am sure they are running correct (<python install
dir>/Lib. I haven't had the time to look into a better solution yet. 

Kind regards,

Bas Vanmeulebrouk.

Hi,

I had a working WCS yesterday, but have been doing low level access to Mapserver using
sockets and sending the http requests and now the getCapabilities, and describeCoverage
work, but the getCoverageFails with an empty file being returned.

I appreciate this isn't much information, but to go from a working system to a non working
system after making socket calls with IDL is odd.

Is there a way to use the mapserv executable to execute a getCoverage request outside of Apache
so that I can debug the response?

Many thanks,

Hi Saso,

Umberto Nicoletti maintains some Java Mapscript resources at:

http://www.unicolet.org/mapserver/compile.html

http://www.unicolet.org/mapserver/tomcat.pdf

AFAIK there is no difference between SWIGMapScript(with Java) and JavaMapScript, it's the same thing.

For class references etc. check other SWIG Mapscript documentation, like Python Mapscript, and try to convert the examples to Java.

Bart

Hello Bas,

Thanks for your reply.

Moving/copying the files to other locations didn't solve the problem.

I checked the PYTHONPATH (both the reg key and the environment variable) to
be sure C:\Python23\lib\site-packages is included and it is.

Then I tried 'import _mapscript' from the Python prompt.

Now I get a error message 'The procedure entry point ... could not be
located in the dynamic link library NCSEcw.dll'.

It appears to me I need a specific version of the NCS dll's but I don't know
which one (the NCS dll's were not included in the MapScript installer, I
tried with the NCS dll's found in
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/sean with no succes).

Maybe I can find more info in the build log files on Howard's site but I
welcome tips on this.

Regards,

Emil

Hello Emil,

I have had this dll problem as well, amongst others with gdal12.dll,
nscecw.dll and ncsutil.dll. On my machine, it was caused be the fact that I
had more versions of the same dll. I searched my harddrive for these dll's
and renamed the ones which didn't come with Python Mapscript to make sure
that Python Mapscript was using the correct ones. After that, Python
Mapscript was working fine from the Python prompt. 

Kind regards,

Bas.

Dear Zoltan,

Thanks for your tips.
Now I am facing another problem.
Tile indexing various gif images -- around 800 per district ( in Japan there
are around 10 districts in sum),
to a single shp using GDALtindex.
Though I am thinking for writing a program to generate the same number of
world files,
it would be very helpful if there is a free program to do the job.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks again,

Akio

Dear Akio,

The formula looks like:
X = Ax + By + C and Y = Dx + Ey + F (Affine transformation)
The order of the parameters in the world file is:
A
D
B
E
C
F

The process to find out the values of the parameters is called
georeferencing. There are a loft of programs what can solve the task
specifying point on the raster and giving the real co-ordinates for them.
Unfortunatelly I use commercial software for this purpose, but I think
GRASS can do it.
Usually more then the minimal 3 points are used with a least squares
estimation.

Emil,

I think Bas is right.  Once you get the outdated DLLs out of your
system directory (or path) the _mapscript module should load properly.

Hello Sean,

I tried that by renaming/moving the wrong version NCS dll's that were in the
path.

But I don't know what set of NCS dll's should be used with the Python
MapScript binaries I downloaded...

I tried several (the NCS dll's found on Howard's site, the dll's that come
with MapServer binaries) but so far no luck.

Is there a way to determine what version is needed?

Regards,

Emil

Find all of the libmap.dll and gdal.dll in c:\python23 and
c:\python23\dlls and delete them.  Ensure that you don't have another
GDAL with ECW support somewhere else on your system.  The Python
Mapscript installer is pretty dumb and doesn't clean up after itself
properly.  Uninstall Python Mapscript using Windows add/remove
programs.

Install 4.4.2 MapScript which is located at
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/mapserver/build_output/4_4_2/debug/python.zip
This MapScript does not have ECW or MrSID support (I am no longer
distributing those due to licensing constraints).

Refer to the message I sent Bas last week for more information.

Hello Howard,

I followed your advice but that MapScript version complained about needing
sde90.dll so I used the version from
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/mapserver/build_output/4_4_2/none/pyt
hon.zip

On the Python command line I can now do 'import _mapscript' without errors
but when using it via IIS I keep getting:

  import _mapscript
ImportError: DLL load failed: the specific module could not be found

Maybe I'm still missing something obvious or maybe it related to the fact
I'm using Python MapScript with IIS.

Anyway, thanks so far for the feedback and hints, I really appreciate it
(this goes for Bas too).

Regards,

Emil

Subject: using asp and mapserver to put an image at a lat/lon coordinate
Message-ID: <TUE.10.MAY.2005.154701.0100.ANDREA.EDWARDSNULC.AC.UK>

Hello

 I am new to mapserver and I am really struggling. Any help would be greatly valued.

 I want to use mapserver for an internet mapping application but I do not want to use php or perl. I would prefer to use asp. However, this precludes my use of mapscript.

 For my application I need to be able to access some gps coordinates from a database and then position a graphic on top of the map at this coordinate.

 I have only a basic knowledge of mapserver. I believe that I can dynamically change map file parameters via a form or url. In theory therefore I can create a get request in my asp code and send this to mapserver using an asp component such asphttp (I have seen this discussed in the archives). 

 I believe that to add an image to a map I have to use a symbol and set its type to pixmap. However, I cannot see any parameters for specifying the location of the image in the map in (x,y) coordinates. Am I on the right track? Please can you tell me how I specify the location of the image.

 I want to know if it's possible to access the mapserver c api directly from asp. I have seen a resource called VisualBasic.Net GIS which accesses mapserver so it must be possible though I expect its not a trivial task. Whilst this library is very useful it does not seem to have any features for positioning graphics at a certain coordinate.

I guess I am hoping there is an asp equivalent of mapscript somewhere that I can use or buy.

 I have used aspmap which I think is very good. However, I would really like to use mapserver because I would really like to make use of its ability to return flash vector files. That way I can do all my zooming and panning on the client in flash (one day when I know how)

 Thank you very much. Please help!!

andrea

Note that you can use the sortshp utility in MapServer to order
features
by size assuming you have an attribute that stores area. This is a bit
more
high performance than the MINFEATURESIZE approach since not all
features
need be processed. I do like the idea though and would like to get in
place
by the 4.6 release...

Is there a compiled list of WMS servers out there somewhere?

Steve,

That would be really great to have in 4.6. I am also thinking about
adding an area attribute to my tiger2shape translator or a utility to
compute the area from a shape and add it to the attributes. But I think
having this feature makes it much friendlier for people that don't have
the attribute column to start with to get a better looking map.

Thank you for your support,
  -Steve W.

Steve W,

There's a freeze on new features for 4.6.

Dear Akio,

I do not know any free tool to do the task direcly. Recently I have faced
to the same trouble. The name of the raster files contained a row and
a column number. I wrote a simple program to do the task, I attache the c source.
An other possible solution to draw the border of the images in a
polygon shape file, add the name of the corresponding raster file as an
attribute to the polygon and write a "simple program" using shapelib ...

I hope it helps you

Subject: Python MapScript module still not found (today's summary)
In-Reply-To: <ded387a352c64e0c09e9a7b1d91c56e3@frii.com>
Message-ID: <TUE.10.MAY.2005.233001.0200.TAATUUTPLANET.NL>

Hello,

After fiddling around some more I finally leave this case unresolved for
today.

I switched to ActiveState ActivePython instead of using the binaries from
www.python.org and reinstalled Python MapScript, no change.

Tried a lot of different mappings in IIS for .py files:

c:\python23\python.exe --> nothing works, time-out for all .py files
c:\python23\python.exe -u "%s" "%s" --> works for .py scripts, import DLL
gives 'not found'
c:\python23\python.exe "%s" --> works for .py scripts, import DLL gives 'not
found'
c:\python23\python.exe "%s" "%s" --> works for .py scripts, import DLL gives
'not found'

Any ideas on what mapping to use and how this influences importing dll's
will be appreciated.

So now under IIS I can run .py scripts under IIS and I can import modules
(eg. importing os works fine) but I still have this problem with importing
MapScript.

Importing MapScript from the Python command line works fine.

Could it be it has something to do with the naming of the MapScript files?
There's a _mapscript.pyd and mapscript.py, mapscript.pyc and mapscript.pyo
after installing.

For os module there is no .pyd, just the py, pyc and pyo (just a guess, I'm
no Python expert)

On a Python mail list I also found some similair info about importing
problems under IIS and not with command line. They suspected the way the
files were installed may be (part of) the reason. I've installed everything
with administrator rights and have granted IUR and IWAM all needed rights.

Switching to Apache might be a really easy solution for this but I would
like to have this working with IIS.

Regards,

Emil

In the 4.2 version running the DM Solutions GMap, GetLegendGraphic
returns perfect little legend graphics.

What is different / changed? Special configuration required to get good

Paul,

this was a change indeed. It has to do with the fact whether or not your specify a Rule in the GetLegendGraphic request.

In 4.2 it would always come back with the last Rule/Class if you did not specify the Rule.

In 4.4.2 we changed this to have GetLegendGraphic without a Rule specified return a full legend. The spec says the following:

"In the case that a style has multiple rules but no specific rule is selected,then the map server is obligated to produce a graphic that is representative of
all of the rules of the style".

On Cubewerx's advice we added labels to it since otherwise the rules cannot be distinguished from each other.

For details there is a bug report explaining everything:

Subject: ArcGIS UMN Extension
Message-ID: <WED.11.MAY.2005.111845.0200.ADAMSTERRESTRIS.DE>

Dear list,

last week there was a discussion about an export tool for ArcGIS, which
converts ArcMap-dataframes to UMN Mapfiles (WMS-Capable). As already
announced, we have just uploaded the ArcGIS extension "AmeiN!" to
sourceforge (look for the AveiN-Project).

Due to the fact, that ArcGIS is proprietary we have released AmeiN 1.0
under the LGPL, so feel free to improve the software -- unfortunately we
had to use VB ... ;-)

You may also download AmeiN! from
http://www.terrestris.de/hp/en/downloads.php

Greetings from Germany - looking forward to see lots of you on the OS05!

Hi,

you're right. Best thing to do in this type of case is report a bug in bugzilla for the Mapserver documentation category, otherwise people will forget about it.

I have just done that for you:

Message-ID: <WED.11.MAY.2005.114114.0100.JOE.BEALESNORTECHONLINE.CO.UK>

Hi,
 
I'm new to MapServer and I'm having problems in producing a map from
Mapinfo files.
I've got Mapserver 4.5 installed (with ogr support) on apache 2 under
Windows XP Pro. (I've downloaded some tutorials and got them producing
the correct results.)
I've searched the mail list archive and seen some people have had the
same problem but I can't find a definitive answer.
 
I've used ogrinfo to try and get the correct extent and units. 
Below is the Map file I'm using, I am missing something?
I've tried various projections but they don't seem to make a difference.
I've also tried referencing a non-existent .TAB file in the CONNECTION
parameter and don't receive any errors is that normal?
All I get is a blank gif.

Subject: Suggestions for Data-Serving & UI
Message-ID: <WED.11.MAY.2005.083312.0300.SABURQGMAIL.COM>

Hi All,

I am fairly new to mapserver but I was thinking of using it along with
a complementry back end, like PostGIS to perform the job assigned to
me:

to improve the following user interface. Plus allow flexible updates
and expansion of data's spatial coverage and streamline the data
processing:

http://woodmans.omg.unb.ca/~camp2005/

As seen, currently, the data is split up into mapsheets (size is
arbitrarily, i think). This is fine if you have to do it once but  as
the data comes from high resolution multibeam sonar it results in
strips of raster geotiff/ArcGRID ASCII data. Each strip corresponds to
a line over the target. Currently we are splitting and mosaiking the
line based on which mapsheet they fall under. There is a 2" overlap. A
real mess!

There are 2 main raster data products: Backscatter and Bathy. Plus the metadata.

The initial data-set will be ~100GB but if this work reasonably well
we may later want to serve all our data (100's of Gig) using
Mapserver, provided updataing is easy and performance doesn't degrade.

My dream would be to seamlessly download data products from regions
based on the user's bounding-box-query from a mouse drag or entered
co-ordinates.

Do you think mapserver or other OSS technologies today are up to the
task? If so are there any demos out there? If not what's missing?

I'll keep this short and provide more info as needed.

Thanks heaps
Shoaib

Subject: WFS and namespaces
Message-ID: <WED.11.MAY.2005.144305.0200.BENSYNCERAITSOLUTIONS.NL>

Hi list,

I am wondering about the following. I have defined a namespace for my Mapserver WFS in the MAP file:

      wfs_namespace_prefix "stragisweb"
      wfs_namespace_uri "http://www.syncera.nl/stragisweb"

But the DescribeFeatureType response does *NOT* use this namespace in the element names. The GML output of a GetFeature request does use the namespace. 

But then again it is not possible to query using the namespace, eg doing a PropertyIsEqualTo on stragisweb:GEMCOD doesn't work, I have to use GEMCOD in the Filter for ogc:PropertyName.

Is this behaviour correct? Or should the namespace defined be used in all modes of operation?

I am using Mapserver 4.6 beta1.

Best regards,
Bart

extension work with that version?

Hi,

I'm a beginner with mapscript...

I try to draw a map with php/mapscript with data comming from postgis.
I tried several ways, the problem is the construction of my layer...

I try like this

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$map = ms_newMapObj($Nom_Mapfile);
$map->setextent($xmin,$ymin,$xmax,$ymax);
$map->web->set("imagepath",$mapserver_imagepath);
$map->web->set("imageurl",$mapserver_imageurl);
$map->set("width",$longueur_image_mapfile);
$map->set("height",$hauteur_image_mapfile);

	// Ajout d'une couche
	$layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);

with this mapfile
MAP
	NAME MAMAPAMOI
	
	EXTENT 0 0 1 1

	SIZE 1 1

	IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255

	IMAGETYPE PNG
	
END

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and like this
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$map = ms_newMapObj("miam.map");

$map->setextent($xmin,$ymin,$xmax,$ymax);
$map->web->set("imagepath",$mapserver_imagepath);
$map->web->set("imageurl",$mapserver_imageurl);
$map->set("width",$longueur_image_mapfile);
$map->set("height",$hauteur_image_mapfile);

	// Ajout d'une couche	
	$layer = $map->getLayerByName(REGIONS);

MAP
	NAME MAMAPAMOI
	
	EXTENT 0 0 1 1

	SIZE 1 1

	IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255

	IMAGETYPE PNG

	LAYER
	
		NAME REGIONS
		
		TYPE POLYGON
		
		CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
		
		CONNECTION "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=lemiam user=phil
password=1707loulou442"
		
		DATA "the_geom from regions"
		
	END
END
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each time, I have an

>>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was

I don't understand why because I can completely read the script
http://localhost/phpinfo_mapscript.phtml

Do you already have a problem like this one???

Status DEFAULT will display your layer 

Status ON makes the layer available for display (and query), but you need to explicitly include the layer name in the URL to make the layer display  e.g. '&layer=roads'

Shoaib, 

I do think you can manage your study area as a single file per data
layer using available free software.  My suggestion would be that
you use Imagine format (HFA driver in GDAL) for your datasets.  This
is a tiled format that supports various pixel types, and handles large
files gracefully.  GeoTIFF will be somewhat inappropriate for this
use since it supports datasets only up to 4GB. 

I'm not sure how you are currently rectifying the strips of data you get.
The gdalwarp utility can handle reprojection or polynomial warping
based on control points, and could gracefully warp directly into your
large working image for updates. 

As long as you build overviews (which you would need to refresh after
any updates to the base image) with gdaladdo, the resulting big imagine
file should work fine in MapServer with good performance.   

For preparing custom data extracts, you will likely need to do a bit of 
customization.  I imagine one of the existing JavaScript client setups can
be modified to allow dragging out a request rectangle to send back to the
server for extracts.  It may be difficult to use mapserver to do the actual 
extracts if you want people to be able to pull out very large regions, since
MapServer assembles the whole image to be returned in RAM.  Instead it
might be more suitable to have a custom cgi script that would invoke 
gdal_translate or gdalwarp to extract a selected subregion at a desired
resolution and output format.  

All, in all, it is a doable arrangement though it will require some custom
scripting work (server and client side).   I would add that working with
100GB files can be a bit tedious - though potentially less tedious than 
many medium sized files. 

Best regards,

Shoaib,

Topozone.com is serving 10+ TB of raster data using mapserver. So this
is definitely doable. Among data Topozone has are seamless coverage of
the whole US in USGS digital othro quarter quad (DOQQ). Where there is
overlap, the last data tiled takes priority in the image. Or you can be
smart about how you build the tileindexes like putting the newest data
last in the tileindex so it is drawn last giving it priority in appearance.

Ed McNierney can probably add much more detail. One of the important
details is how the data inside the GeoTIFF is organized as this will
greatly impact performance. In fact you might want to scan the list
archives for articles postted by "McNierney"

Hi,

I'm a beginner with mapscript...

I try to draw a map with php/mapscript with data comming from postgis.
I tried several ways, the problem is the construction of my layer...

I try like this

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$map = ms_newMapObj($Nom_Mapfile);
$map->setextent($xmin,$ymin,$xmax,$ymax);
$map->web->set("imagepath",$mapserver_imagepath);
$map->web->set("imageurl",$mapserver_imageurl);
$map->set("width",$longueur_image_mapfile);
$map->set("height",$hauteur_image_mapfile);

// Ajout d'une couche
$layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);

with this mapfile
MAP
NAME MAMAPAMOI

EXTENT 0 0 1 1

SIZE 1 1

IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255

END

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and like this
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$map = ms_newMapObj("miam.map");

$map->setextent($xmin,$ymin,$xmax,$ymax);
$map->web->set("imagepath",$mapserver_imagepath);
$map->web->set("imageurl",$mapserver_imageurl);
$map->set("width",$longueur_image_mapfile);

Jeff, I'm very sorry, but the company with the big four letters (the GIS
"world market leader") changed
the object model from 8.3 to 9 ... Our first develops of AmeiN! were
based on an 8.3 version, but the
donating customers of the AmeiN! project wanted us to switch to version 9.

So we also had to update from 8.3 to 9 (costs of about 1000 Euros -( )
So we had to go on ArcGIS 9 and
we couldn't handle two versions for 8 and 9. Unfortunately we also have
to rely on the update system of
ESRI that every customer pays evrey year for his update service ... I
can deliver an older version which
should be the last 8.3 based version for testing purpose - just replace
this dll with the one installed in
the amein program folder. I'm not sure if it works ...

For all 8.x uswers: I put this Dll on sourceforge (as
v8_3_ameindll.zip), but it does not have the full functionality.

Cheers, Till

Hello...

I also have the 8.3 version of ArcGis (I double checked this :)). But it
seems that I successfully installed the AmeiN! extension. I could enable
the extension in ArcMap and I was able to create a .map-file based on my
layers. Well I had no time to test the mapfile but I took a look on it,
and it looked ok.

Are there any features which are not working with the "old" 8.3 or is it
the whole extension which shuldn?t work? Maybe its just a matter of the
config?

Its a great extension which makes the creating of mapfiles very handy.
Well done, good job!!

are you running mapscript in windows or linux/unix?    I've had the
"premature end of script headers" error a few times in both of them.   In
windows the cause was missing or incorrect DLL's, or my DLL's were in the
wrong place.   I can't remember what the issue was under linux.

Hello,

I encounter a problem with a PostGIS layer defined with:

Mapserver send the request to PostGIS with the schema name in lowercase

But I need to have it in uppercase to comply with the externally defined

Is there a way to have this working without writing a full "select from"

Message-ID: <WED.11.MAY.2005.165616.0200.>

The GML output of a wfs GetFeature request seems to be pretty-printed
(look here for example:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0
&REQUEST=getfeature&TYPENAME=park).
The element <gml:coordinates> is followed by a line feed, several tabs and
spaces.
What is quite convenient for a reader's eye means, that most tools
(OpenEV_FW, deegreeViewer, Jump ...) run into error when parsing the XML
document.

Is there any way to switch off pretty printing (most people will not want
to read XML)?
Did anybody else work around the problem differently??

Under postgresql, to have uppercase table or field names, you need to
quote them ... 

Did you test it quoting the schema name ?

Emil,

I'm sorry, but I don't have any experience with Python as a CGI on IIS.
  I'm cc'ing Adam Ryan directly on this because I think he has the
know-how.

This is a good point.  XML is neat because it doesn't matter how you space/tab elements, but the values inside those elements should be tight.  We have much middleware with $string =~ s/^\s+// and $string =~ /\s+$// type routines to strip leading and trailing spaces.

Bart,

I'm not a projection expert either (obviously).  I didn't convert my
shapefile to that projection, and it's quite possible that EPSG 26797
is not correct for my map. I will look into that.  Thanks for your
help.

J?rgen,

A decent case can be made to support turning off the pretty printing,
but the problem with newlines and tabs inside the <gml:coordinate>
has already been fixed in 4.6 (and perhaps 4.4.2?).  It is a violation
of the specification. 

I would add that rather than working on removing the pretty printing
for performance, we would be better off looking at supporting gzipping
of the return results for a much bigger performance gain.

LTI_DSDK_DLL.DLL
NCSECW.DLL
NCSUTIL.DLL
OCI.DLL

And full.exe could not find these and:

SDE90.DLL

So, I pulled LTI_DSDK_DLL.DLL off of
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/sean_2003

Then I pulled the ECW SDK Dlls from Frank's Tools.

But I don't have SDE, and isn't the OCI.dll for the Oracle client?  Should
that be referenced in the libmap.dll from none.exe?

I haven't searched around for OCI.dll.  Shall I?

Cheers,

Adam

Steve,

this has been around for a while, but I am just running into it now.

Okay, I have opened up 2 bugs for this:

namespace not used in DescribeFeatureType (1349)
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1349

Cannot query for propertyname using namespace (1350)
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1350

Bart: Is this new behavior or something that's been around for awhile.
If the latter then I'll defer to Assefa and Dan. Sounds like this is
been around awhile since I haven't touched the schema generator- yet.
Seems to me that the schema should match the output GML- that's the
point of generating schema, so what you do one place you should do in
the other. Similarly the transformation support I added should also be
part of schema generation.

Hi list,

I am wondering about the following. I have defined a namespace for my
Mapserver WFS in the MAP file:

      wfs_namespace_prefix "stragisweb"
      wfs_namespace_uri "http://www.syncera.nl/stragisweb"

But the DescribeFeatureType response does *NOT* use this namespace in
the element names. The GML output of a GetFeature request does use the
namespace. 

But then again it is not possible to query using the namespace, eg
doing a PropertyIsEqualTo on stragisweb:GEMCOD doesn't work, I have to
use GEMCOD in the Filter for ogc:PropertyName.

Is this behaviour correct? Or should the namespace defined be used in
all modes of operation?

I am using Mapserver 4.6 beta1.

Best regards,
Bart

Just an update.  I pulled an OCI.dll off the Oracle site and that seems to
work but I'm stuck on the ECW SDK dlls.  I can't seem to find acceptable
versions.

Adam,

The problem with my nightlies is that the GDAL used to make these has ECW
and MrSID and OCI (all of which I don't distribute).  Please use the 4.4.2
"None" package on http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/ and let me know
how it goes.

thanks

Howard

Greetings Listers,
   What would folks use when an application must produce maps as a side
effect?  Would you go for an in-process map generation method?   If so,
what would you use?  Alternatively, would you use a mapserver backend
that the local process would communicate with?  Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Cordially,

Subject: in-process vs. over the wire map generation for simple GUI app
In-Reply-To: <42827B51.6040605@otsys.com>

Joe,

I think there are a lot a variables that need to be considered, like
performance, tolerance to wire outages, etc.

In general, I would try to keep things modular and general unless there
is an over-riding need to do otherwise. If you don't need in-process
generation there are a lot of benefits for doing it over the wire even
if the wire is to the same processor. Once you define an API, you can
change one module without change all the modules. You would end up using
less memory when you were not generating maps which might be needed for
other processes. If there are ever multiple clients like in a workgroup
then setting up a single server to service them all keeps disk/hardware
requires lower.

In general, don't build monoliths :) they tend to be big and hard to
maintain.

My 2 cents,
   -Steve W.

Hi, I am new to projections in mapserver and a seem to have something that
is not working right and I am not sure why.  I have striped my example down
to a simple mapfile that has two layers in it.  The ogrinfo for the
hospitals layer, which is in a shape file is as follows:

INFO: Open of `c:\geodata\hospitals.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: hospitals

The second layer is a virtual spatial data layer populated from an access

Basically what happens is I do not believe the incidents layer is
projecting correctly because it does not end up in the same general
vacinity with the hospitals layer.  To the best of my limited knowledge, I
think I have all the files configured correctly.  I know that I am getting
the incident data back becuase it renders, just not in the write place.

Thank You in advance for any help.

Will, 

I didn't look over your whole configuration carefully, but I suspect
your problem is in using Lat for "x" and Long for "y".  Assuming that
Lat is latitude and Long is longitude you should have x="Long", y="Lat".

Subject: Warnings with UNIX build - undefined functions
Message-ID: <WED.11.MAY.2005.221919.0500.COVARIANCESHAW.CA>

I am trying to build MapScript on a Debian UNIX system and am getting an
module that crashes when I am trying to create imagemaps. And it is weird
because the same source code works fine on my Windows 2000 Pro system.

So I have closely scrutinized the build messages on the UNIX system and see
some warnings that I'm not getting on my Windows system, these are:

mapwms.c: In function `msWMSGetStyles':
mapwms.c:2762: warning: implicit declaration of function `msSLDGenerateSLD'
mapwms.c:2762: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

mapscript_i.c:390: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast
mapscript_i.c: In function `layerObj_generateSLD':
mapscript_i.c:589: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast

these functions are defined in the file: php_mapscript.h
and in this file the following statements enclose the definition of these
functions:

#ifndef _PHP_MAPSCRIPT_H_INCLUDED_
#define _PHP_MAPSCRIPT_H_INCLUDED_

#endif /* _PHP_MAPSCRIPT_H_INCLUDED_ */

I cannot find the value _PHP_MAPSCRIPT_H_INCLUDED_ defined anywhere and I am
mistified as to why these function definitions don't seem to be reached. Do
you have any ideas?

thanks,

Hi All,

I'm trying to compile mapserver 4.6 beta2, but am running into these errors (as I did in beta1) :

mapogcsld.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _msOWSLookupMetadata referenced in function _msSLDApplySLD
mapogcsld.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _msOWSGetSchemasLocation referenced in function _msSLDGenerate

Does anyone know what this is caused by, and how I can get around it?

I'm compiling with php 4.3.11, proj 4.4.9, gdal from CVS of 13 april.

Hi,

I use this code outside the case "DIST". Every time the map is drawed I
calculate the cellsize. And it works fine.

// set the cellsize of the map
$minimumX = $oMap->extent->minx;
$maximumX = $oMap->extent->maxx;
	             	
$realcoordinates = $maximumX - $minimumX ;

$pixelsize = $realcoordinates / MAP_WIDTH ;
$pixelsize = $pixelsize / 1000 ;

Regards, Dirk

Steve,
Did you come across a solution to your problem?
I'm having a similar situation, where the distances being measured are
way
off (eg. a 3km feature is measured as being 1.7km)

Sorry about that. I didn't realise that I didn't have WMS enabled. Enabling it makes everything compile happily.

Lars,

first - thank you for the folwers .... I'll pass most of them to our
developper.

Well, most of the functionality is also in the 8.3 dll, but maybe there
are some bugs
because it is not tested that much as the "official" release" - and what
definitely is
not working is the creation of hatched symbols for polygon layers.

Greetings from Bonn,
Till

Hi Daniel,

I think it would be very intersting to post this on the postgis mailing
list (very active). If you're not member and don't want to, I can post
this for you.

Subject: Precompiled binaries for mapscript c#?
Message-ID: <THU.12.MAY.2005.044519.0500.GOSIA.RAINERTONLINE.DE>

Hi folk,

  I would like to test the mapscript c# combination and tried to compile the
mapserver. I think I am totally wrong, because I use a Linux server and I
try to get windows binaries...

  I get compiler errors when I try to compile the csharp extension on my
fedora 3 server:

/usr/local/bin/swig -csharp -o mapscript_wrap.c ../mapscript.i
gcc -fpic -c -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA -DUSE_EPPL -DUSE_TIFF -DUSE_JPEG
-DUSE_GD_TTF -DUSE_GD_GIF -DUSE_GD_PNG -DUSE_GD_JPEG -DUSE_GD_WBMP
-DGD_HAS_GDIMAGEGIFPTR mapscript_wrap.c
gcc -fpic -shared mapscript_wrap.o -o libmapscript.so -L../.. -lmap -lgd
-L/usr/local/lib -lgd -ljpeg -lttf -lpng -lz -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lm
mcs /t:library /out:mapscript_csharp.dll *.cs
/bin/sh: mcs: command not found
make: *** [mapscript_csharp] Error 127

  And I am sure that this won't create the .net library for windows... ;-)

  Are precompiled binaries for windows available, similar to the ms4w
project? Is a HowTo introduction available? This libraries are required to
compile the csharp api?

Thanks
Rainer

Subject: Number of records
Message-ID: <THU.12.MAY.2005.054356.0500.JOHAN.E.HALLGRENWMDATA.SE>

How can I return the total number och records in a layer.

I have the following lines in my code and I want to go throu all records
in the layer. How can I get the number of records so I can bild my for
(...) loop.

mapObj m_obj = new mapObj(m_StrMapFile);
layerObj oLayerObj = m_obj.getLayerByName(strName);

I have tryed the following but I think it's waste of resources
oLayerObj.queryByRect(m_obj, oLayerObj.getExtent());
resultCacheObj oResultCacheObj = oLayerObj.getResults();
oLayerObj.open();
if (oResultCacheObj.numresults > 0)
{}

Any proposals?

Regards
Johan

  Hi alone,
  as I've done for c# support, you could compile it on a linux box (as all the good things ;c) ). BUT in order to do that what is the requierment ? You need to have mono on your fc3. If you have also a gentoo box (which is the greater distro ... I think) I've made an ebuild for it you could find on the gentoo bugzilla or from this page :
  http://www.01map.net/gentoo/ . For fc3 rpms you could use our installer (in french only for the moment, if you would like to translate it in english I'll be happy ;) ) but it include a mapserver without the c# support, so I'm not sure you enjoy this rpm :/ We've also made an installer which is freely available on our web server here : http://www.01map.net/redhat (as the rpms).
  For more informations you could just read the ebuild here : http://www.01map.net/gentoo/sci-geosciences/mapserver/mapserver-4.4.2.ebuild. In this ebuild you could see all the configuration options and more, how I compile the mapscript c# support and its requierments (just remplace in your mind mono by c# and you have the solution).

  Hope that help.

  Have a nice day.

  Cordialy.

Johan,

shapefileObj->{numshapes} will also return the number of records if the
layer is based on a shapefile.

Hello,

I've posted a message about upper/lower case mismatch with postgis layers:
Mapserver crash with

DATA 'geom from "user_FT000001"."annuaire"'
or
DATA 'geom from user_FT000001.annuaire

The reproted error is:

Postgresql reports the error as 'ERROR:  schema "user_ft000001" does not exist

On postgis-users list, strtk said:

I posted a patch about 3 years ago for mapserver support of
MiXeD case identifiers... I'm off now  ;)
Send a mail to mapserver developers.


Is it a code regression ? Or a lack of support for schemas ?

Thanks,

dF

What is your exact mode=browse request? Are you using layers=...... ?

Only layers with STATUS DEFAULT appear in the image when you don't specify them as a layer in the layers parameter.

RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] FW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Distance tool in ROSA
(missed some info from first post)






Hi,

I use this code outside the case "DIST". Every time the map is drawed I
calculate the cellsize. And it works fine.

// set the cellsize of the map
$minimumX = $oMap->extent->minx;
$maximumX = $oMap->extent->maxx;

$realcoordinates = $maximumX - $minimumX ;

$pixelsize = $realcoordinates / MAP_WIDTH ;
$pixelsize = $pixelsize / 1000 ;

Regards, Dirk

Steve,
Did you come across a solution to your problem?
I'm having a similar situation, where the distances being measured are
way
off (eg. a 3km feature is measured as being 1.7km)

Subject: WCS sampling error
Message-ID: <THU.12.MAY.2005.152340.0100.NBARKERRSINC.COM>

Hi,

I am using the WCS to serve geotiff files, it seems that if the values of RESX and RESY are not equal to the base
resolution of the tiff image in the getCoverage request then the request fails with a black image being returned to the
user.

So, if resx, resy are 1.125 say then it works fine, but then another file having a resolution value of 1.21211211.. reported by the geotiff file (so resolution to a few more than 2 decimal places) causes the resampling to occur and the image to be blank.

Do I have to truncate my values of resx, resy when I export to geotiff to put the files in the WCS?  This resampling will
happen when I make other requests, will it also fail (I remember making reprojection requests with DEMs and this happened),
any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Norman Barker

Norman, 

I think this is the same as the following bug, which I have been meaning
to revisit.  your note gives me a big clue as to what is going wrong.

Subject: using asp and mapserver to put an image at a lat/lon
 coordinate
Message-ID: <THU.12.MAY.2005.104110.0400.EDTOPOZONE.COM>

Andrea -

Welcome to the list!  Part of the problem is that you're asking a very
long list of questions - that makes it harder for anyone to pick up the
ball and respond.

I know you have looked at the archives and seen my postings on ASP
usage.  Please read them carefully, as there's a lot there and some code
samples, too.

You are on the right track in thinking about using ASP code to generate
MapServer HTTP requests, then directing those requests to MapServer and
retrieving the results.  This is not the same as "ASP MapScript" - it
has some advantages and disadvantages.

The chief advantage is that you are insulated from errors due to
improper use of MapScript.  MapServer HTTP GET requests are handled
"correctly" and you don't have to worry about using objects properly,
forgetting to do intermediate steps, etc.  That's also the chief
disadvantage - you don't get any flexibility or control over and above
what the MapServer CGI offers.

Remember that MapServer offers two different HTTP GET interfaces - the
"classic" CGI interface and the OGC WMS interface.  Each has its
advantages, and one or the other may be more suitable for your
application.  In either case, you can create an ASP page that issues an
HTTP request and retrieves the output image.

Your specific question about adding an image needs a bit more
information.  If your image is a logo or graphic or copyright message
that goes in a fixed location, you can do that - there are plenty of
references to that topic in the archives.  If you're adding a symbol at
a geographic location, you can do that, too.  Both are mentioned in the
documentation - look for the use of querystring parameters to override
settings in the MAP file.

Don't get your ASP work confused with basic MapServer functionality.  If
you look for "how do I add a symbol at a fixed location using ASP" you
won't find it.  But you can find out how to add a symbol using the CGI
interface, and you can retrieve that image using ASP.

It's best to get something partially working and then post your code and
MAP file with a question.  It is MUCH easier for people to answer
questions by correcting or modifying an example, rather than asking them
to start from scratch.

Please get some basic map up and running and send us an example.  If you
can post it on a publicly accessible server so we can look at the
output, that's even better.  Thanks!

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] using asp and mapserver to put an image
at a lat/lon coordinate

Hello

 I am new to mapserver and I am really struggling. Any help would be
greatly valued.

 I want to use mapserver for an internet mapping application but I do
not want to use php or perl. I would prefer to use asp. However, this
precludes my use of mapscript.

 For my application I need to be able to access some gps coordinates
from a database and then position a graphic on top of the map at this
coordinate.

 I have only a basic knowledge of mapserver. I believe that I can
dynamically change map file parameters via a form or url. In theory
therefore I can create a get request in my asp code and send this to
mapserver using an asp component such asphttp (I have seen this
discussed in the archives). 

 I believe that to add an image to a map I have to use a symbol and set
its type to pixmap. However, I cannot see any parameters for specifying
the location of the image in the map in (x,y) coordinates. Am I on the
right track? Please can you tell me how I specify the location of the
image.

 I want to know if it's possible to access the mapserver c api directly
from asp. I have seen a resource called VisualBasic.Net GIS which
accesses mapserver so it must be possible though I expect its not a
trivial task. Whilst this library is very useful it does not seem to
have any features for positioning graphics at a certain coordinate.

I guess I am hoping there is an asp equivalent of mapscript somewhere
that I can use or buy.

 I have used aspmap which I think is very good. However, I would really
like to use mapserver because I would really like to make use of its
ability to return flash vector files. That way I can do all my zooming
and panning on the client in flash (one day when I know how)

 Thank you very much. Please help!!

Hello,


I have a little probleme with my WFS server. He give me an HTTP request error.

msHTTPExecuteRequests(): HTTP request error. Can't open output file
./tmp\753f5d66a153201bdf13aeff161f8b23.tmp.gml.

So it seem that mapserver couldn't find my *.temp.gml file.

I have scan my computer and this file doesn't appear. An other strange think is
the "road" to this temp file.

In my mapfile I have define the temp directorie like this:

WEB
    log "./tmp/Europe_Client_WFS.log"
    IMAGEPATH "./tmp/"
    TEMPLATE  'Donnees_test_WMS_WFS_template2.html'
    IMAGEURL "http://localhost/WFS/Europe_Client_WFS/tmp/"
END


So I don't undestand why there is a "\" in the road to my temp gml file.

Maybe someone have encounter the same problem???

Thank for the help,

Andrea,

I thought I would add a couple of comments to Ed's reply.

Ed is correct: you don't need to use ASP to show points on a Mapserver
graphic; just use the standard CGI or WMS interface.  One way is load the
points into a mapserver-supported database like PostgreSQL/PostGIS.  We used
this method a couple of years ago to track ships.  Their positions were
uploaded into the PostGIS database every 1/2 hour.  MapServer was configured
to access the ship's location table as a point layer and display a ship
symbol (We used a TrueType font with glyphs editted to represent the 8
cardinal directions).

  If you don't like the choices for the mapserver-supported databases, you
might be able to use an OGR type CONNECTION to connect to MS Access or some
other ODBC compliant database, although I haven't tried this myself.

asp. I have seen a resource called VisualBasic.Net GIS which accesses
mapserver so it must be possible though I expect its not a trivial task.
Whilst this library is very useful it does not seem to have any features for
positioning graphics at a certain coordinate.

I guess I am hoping there is an asp equivalent of mapscript somewhere that I
can use or buy.

 I have used aspmap which I think is very good. However, I would really like
to use mapserver because I would really like to make use of its ability to
return flash vector files. That way I can do all my zooming and panning on
the client in flash (one day when I know how)

 Thank you very much. Please help!!

Norman, 

I think this is the same as the following bug, which I have been meaning
to revisit.  your note gives me a big clue as to what is going wrong.

Best regards,

Hi Frank, 

thanks for the reply, is there any work around for this at the moment, or can you give me an indication of how we could fix it?  I will fix my files to have a fixed number of decimal points but
eventually it would be cool to be able to make requests at different resolutions.

Many thanks,

Norman Barker

Norman, 

I have pasted up the bug report in my list-of-things-to-do-today area,
so there is a respectable chance I will know more about this problem soon,
but for now I can't suggest any workarounds.

Subject: Problems building PHP/Mapscript on Redhat Enterprise 4
Message-ID: <THU.12.MAY.2005.114955.0500.BUYSSESOCSCI.UMN.EDU>

I'm having some trouble getting PHP Mapscript to work correctly on RHEL
4.  I'm using the stock PHP, and some modified versions of the
mappinghacks.com SRPM packages.  I've tried 4.4.2, 4.6.0-beta1 and
4.6.0-beta2.  Some problem with all versions.

With an extremely simple example (hello.phtml from
http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/), it fails with both the
Apache DSO and the CGI versions of PHP.  Get a segfault from it, and at
a glance, it looks like php3_map_ms_new is passing bogus arguments to
mapObj_new.

I'm not a C programmer typically -- only in emergencies, and I've never
dealt with the PHP API.  Anybody have any ideas what's going on?
Here's the offending PHP code:

<?php
   $map_file="./hello.map";
   $map = ms_newMapObj($map_file);
?>

Here's the GDB output and backtrace:

(gdb) run hello.php

Subject: double quotes in expression
Message-ID: <THU.12.MAY.2005.185710.0200.TORSTEN.FOYUNIROSTOCK.DE>

Dear mailinglist,

I'd like to qurey some data with an expression in the classobject of the map-file. The qurey is a string that contains double quotes. I can't modify this string because it is the definition of a marker symbol out of MapInfo stored in Oracle. I got no other attribute for the query. How can I tell the Mapserver to extract the features to be draw with this marker?
The strings to search for looks like this:

Symbol (12, 1, "ESRI IGL Font20", 1)

The Expression for a string-query starts and ends with double quotes, so that the whole expression would look like this:

EXPRESSION "Symbol (12, 1, "ESRI IGL Font20", 1)"

The start and the end quotes are writen to the map-file by the setexpression function of PHP-MapScript. So ich can't change them.
If anyone knows a solution for this problem I would be very happy to participate.

Thanks a lot
Torsten

Subject: queryByAttribute problem
Message-ID: <THU.12.MAY.2005.160258.0600.TROY.JOHNSONSDL.USU.EDU>

Hi all, question:

I have queryByAttribute partially working, but have run into a problem:

I am querying the state boundary shape file as provided in the mapscript
example files (statesp020).  For some reason when I query on the name of
a state, I only get valid results when the state has a single entry in
the shape file.  For example Idaho, Utah, New Mexico work fine, but
Florida, Alaska don't.

Here is the PHP code I'm using:
                        //$search_term = "Idaho";
                        $search_term = "Florida";

                        $myLayer = $map->getLayerByName("US state boundaries");
                        $myLayer->queryByAttributes('STATE', '/'.$search_term.'/', MS_MULTIPLE); 

                        $numberofresults = $myLayer->getNumResults();

Like I mentioned above, Idaho works, $numberofresults is equal to 1.  For Florida
$numberofresulsts is equal to 0.

Any ideas?

My Map file contains:

        LAYER
                NAME "US state boundaries"
                TYPE LINE
                STATUS ON
                DATA "statesp020"

                TEMPLATE "dummy1"       ## added to make layer query work

                PROJECTION
                        "proj=latlong"
                END

                CLASS
                        OUTLINECOLOR 230 230 230
                        SYMBOL 0
                END
        END

You could:

 1) Write your expression like so using single quotes:

    EXPRESSION 'Symbol (12, 1, "ESRI IGL Font20", 1)'

 2) Perhaps consider looking for sub-strings with regular expressions? Depends on how the values differ though from symbol to symbol (that is is the 12, the 1, the "ESRI IGL Font20" or the 1 really important):

    EXPRESSION /ESRI IGL FONT 20/

Steve,

Is there an escape character in Mapserver strings?  For example, does \"
mean a literal quotation mark?

I can imagine times where the switch to single quotes won't help, for
example, someone with polycap tablenames in a PostGIS connection (note the
other running thread on this and the postgis-users board).

DATA "geom from (SELECT geom, oid from \"PolyCapTableName\" where feature
= 'FooBar') as foo using unique oid using SRID 123"

Since 'FooBar' needs the single quotes for PostGIS, using single quotes
for the whole thing won't work.

Looking at the code, it looks like something could be done in maplexer.c
or mapfile.c to perform that escape on reading the strings.  It might help
solve alot of these issues.

Just a thought

Bill

Hello,

I'm really new to the world of mapserver. I work on it since 2 week. I like
working on this great programme, but I have a little probleme with the extent
and different projections.

I have 2 layers:

- one in Lambert II projection (EXTENT  -760555 -1058700 4505870 3245049)
- the other in WGS84 projection (EXTENT -34.5523788 26.2114230 72.2516881
83.340374)

So How could I dislay the two layers together in mapserver?

Must I reproject one layer in arcgis, or is it possible directly with mapserver?

Thank for the help,

Subject: Mapserver extent and projection
Message-ID: <FRI.13.MAY.2005.102344.0200.BENSYNCERAITSOLUTIONS.NL>

Hi,

it is possible with Mapserver to do reprojection.

Use a PROJECTION object in your MAP object for the output map projection that you want.

Use a PROJECTION object for every LAYER stating the source projection of the layer.

Best regards,
Bart

Hello,

I'm really new to the world of mapserver. I work on it since 2 week. I like
working on this great programme, but I have a little probleme with the extent
and different projections.

I have 2 layers:

- one in Lambert II projection (EXTENT  -760555 -1058700 4505870 3245049)
- the other in WGS84 projection (EXTENT -34.5523788 26.2114230 72.2516881
83.340374)

So How could I dislay the two layers together in mapserver?

Must I reproject one layer in arcgis, or is it possible directly with mapserver?

Thank for the help,

Vincent Da-Col

Do you have a spatial index on your PostGIS table and is it being used?

Hello to all,

I just made a *.qix file from *.shp file for Raster TileIndex images --
around 800 gif images,
and tested with and without shape tree. The result was there is no
difference in processing speed.

The procedure was,
gdaltindex MSRAS_12000.shp MSRAS_12000/*.gif,
shptree MSRAS_12000.shp,
and I got MSRAS_12000.qix.
(Under MSRAS_12000 directory there are 800 gif and wld files.)

I wonder if I am following the right procedure, and if so,
why there is no difference on the processing.

In addition, I have around 100 of Vector TileIndex shape directories,
and If ShapeTree really works, I am planning to build *.qix for each Vector
shapes.

My OUTPUTFORMAT amd Raster layer are like these:

OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME gif
    MIMETYPE "image/gif"
    DRIVER "GD/GIF"
    EXTENSION "gif"
    IMAGEMODE RGB

END

Hi,

can you try (without the .shp extension):

TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000"

Btw, the quadtree index only makes a difference if you zoom in, not when you view the whole layer.

Subject: Mapserver response

Hi,

what is the condition that cause MapServer to either retrieve the file and send it back to the user, or to resample the file?  Looking at the socket if MapServer doesn't really do anything to the file then the response (tiff in my case) is sent back as text, but if it does do anything then the response is sent back with a GET header and content-type set, and the reponse-body.

My reason for asking is find some way of getting the data back unaltered as work around to a bug with resampling.  

I guess the response mechanism in MapServer is the same for the WMS and WCS.

Many thanks,

Norman Barker

Mauricio.

Have you already tried adjusting the minfeaturesize & mindistance?
It's not automatic, but we ended up creating a 'route' based on the
roadname from township line to township line for our commercial software
to label things correctly when zoomed out and we use that same route to
create the line shapefile for mapserver.

Look for 'escaping single quotes' (subject) in the May list archives.
It doesn't appear that a fix is simple.

Norman, 

First, in normal use MapServer never sends back source raster files
unaltered.  Even if you are serving from a jpeg file, and request the image
at exactly full resolution, you still won't get the original file. 
Instead it will
be decompressed, resampled (even if only 1:1 nearest neighbour),
rendered in memory and then written out and recompressed to JPEG 
to be returned to the client. 

Perhaps you are wondering when the simple "zoom" resampling is
used as opposed to the more generic warper resampling used for
reprojection (and odd pixel aspect ratios)?  These are certainly 
quite distinct modes.  The warper resampling kicks in when the
layer and map projections differ or if the requested result will have
non-square pixels.

Essentially, yes.

Akio, 

Well, first, scanning 800 polygon records isn't going to take
a significant amount of time anyways, so adding a spatial index
to the tile index isn't likely to gain you much.   If you rendering
requests are slow it is likely due to factors other than scanning
the tileindex itself. 

I would add that if map views end up intersecting multiple gif
images (or if the gif images are large) performance will suck.
Gif images are effectively "stream compressed" so to pull 
out an overview, or a small section of a gif you essentially end
up having to decompress all or most of the gif file.  This makes gif
a pretty poor format for "geospatial databases".

Spatial indexes on your vector tiles will make a substantial diffference
if your tiles contain alot of features, but typical renders only require
a small number of the features from one or a few tiles.   If the tiles
are quite small and your map views fairly broad, such that typically
most or all of the features from a tile are rendered, then spatial
indices won't help much.

You really need to think about what are typical requests for your
use pattern, and what would be making them slow before you can
plan an effective optimization strategy.

Thanks Frank,

I was trying to find a way to force a file through MapServer WCS because of bug 1183, it works with some
files (with square resolution), but not others hence the question.  

Would there be a way to specify a 'RAW' extension to MapServer WCS to retrieve the base file unaltered?  I am thinking in particular of retrieving data with custom geotiff tags, or say a Jpeg2000 file with custom XML inside it?

Any thing we can do to help with the WCS resolution/reprojection bug please let us know.

Many thanks,

Norman Barker

Norman, 

I don't forsee supporting a raw mode which literally returns the original
file since it is quite out-of-band for mapserver.  However, I have been
thinking that for WCS mode it would be nice if we could have some way
of returning various kinds of metadata associated with the source file
when serving via WCS.  This would likely only make sense for
layers that are not tileindexed.  Perhaps a PROCESSING directive
on the layer that would indicate what sorts of metadata to carry over
to the result file.  

Of course, it would at best likely be constrained by the metadata
model of GDAL.  

I have no concrete plans to add such a feature but I think it is worth
further discussion about the sorts of things we would want to carry over.
 
> Any thing we can do to help with the WCS resolution/reprojection bug please let us know.

I dug into and closed the bug yesterday.  Perhaps it was using an 
old email address for you, so you didn't get the notification?  The
overall result was that you were missing a PROJECTION block 
on your raster layer, so anything going through the warp/resampler
was just not acting.

Hi Frank,

A Processing directive would be a really cool idea!  I can see that we could preserve metadata in JPEG2000
that way, and also allow custom tags.  Could it be opened up to include hooks to image processing as well?
Then you would have remote subsetting and processing in one (or perhaps I am getting carried away!! :-))

Many thanks for closing the bug, I have moved jobs to RSI hence the change in email.  I am using the FWTools version of MapServer but I will take the nightly source and build it asap.

Many thanks,

Norman Barker

Norman, 

Yes indeed.  But we would likely need to figure out what makes sense
to copy.  Some specialized metadata (georeferencing, coordinate system,
color table, color interpretation) is already set by MapServer according
to the outputformat.  But at the very least, it would be nice to support
copying generic metadata as per the GDAL model of it. 

As for copying metadata in a very literal form (without it being
morphed into GDAL organization in between) - I think that would
be more problematic. 

>  Could it be opened up to include hooks to image processing as well?
> Then you would have remote subsetting and processing in one (or perhaps I am getting carried away!! :-))

Well, I don't see that as related to the processing option.  I am generally 
not keen to build generic image processing directly into MapServer.  I
have thought to extending GDAL's VRT format to support performing 
some kinds of image processing.  It already does simple coefficient window
filtering for instance.  This would potentially give a mechanism to provide
image processing, but it would be invisible to MapServer.

TILEINDEX should refere to the shape file crreated by gdaltindex
I have read a thread on the list, do not append extension to the
name of the shape because it will search for name.shp.qix file as
spatial index. To tell you the truth I have no check the performance yet.

I've a map that trys to load a couple of shapefiles and a raster or 2.
if one or more of these are not present, it gives a set of text which is
useful to me in identifying the error... but routine users are perplexed
or annoyed when they encounter this.

The shapefiles are snagged every 5 min; same frequency for the radar
generation.

Is there a way to hide the error code from the wewb page?

Thanks, gerry

Gerry, 

Are you using ERROR in the WEB object to call an error page?

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#web

I guess that what you probably really want to do is ignore the error as long as some of the layers show up.

Hello All,

I'm in the process of porting Mapserver and some of it's supporting
libraries to Mac OS X.  The results of which will be released as part
of the DarwinPort project for others to download and build.

I've bumped into a byte order error on the MapCloningTestCase.  I
haven't seen anything on google or the archives so I thought I'd ask
the list before I get ugly with this.  I know others have used
MapServer on a Mac, has anyone else seen this before?

% python runalltests.py -v
check attributes of a cloned class ... ok
testConstructorNoArg (classtest.ClassObjTestCase) ... ok
testConstructorWithArg (classtest.ClassObjTestCase) ... ok
MapCloningTestCase.testClonedLayers: the layers of a cloned map equal the original ... ERROR 1: CPLVerifyConfiguration(): byte order set wrong.

Note that I'm running Tiger, and used the default gcc 4.0.

Never seen that before, and haven't heard anything from other OS X
(10.3) mapscript users.  Looks like a GDAL error.
MapCloningTestCase.testClonedLayers doesn't even render an image, so
I'm not sure where it comes into play.  Maybe there's an assert
somewhere?

You forgot to tell us the most important information: which mapserver
and GDAL versions are you building?

Subject: Premature end of script headers: mapserv.exe
Message-ID: <FRI.13.MAY.2005.170609.0600.SPENCER.COXTESERA.COM>

I am trying to add Mapserver to a web server running Apache/2.0.54
(Win32) PHP/5.0.4.  I've tried a few binary builds and they seem to
result in the same internal server error message.  I am able to access
mapserv.exe -v with the command line and the version information looks
correct.  When I try and access it through a web browser the internal
server error comes up.  It writes the following to my Apache error logs:

[Fri May 13 16:51:19 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: mapserv.exe
[Fri May 13 16:51:19 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not
exist: D:/Server/Website/favicon.ico

Anyone have any recommendations on what to do or where to look.  Is
there any detailed documentation on configuring Mapserver for Apache?
I've added the dll directory to the system PATH and created a variable
for the Proj.  I haven't been able to add the PHP extension
php_mapscript_45.dll (when I try it says the specified module cannot be
found) even though its with the other php extensions, and referred to
correctly in the php.ini file...Maybe this relates to the problem.

I've pretty much exhausted my limited knowledge trying different
things.  If anyone has any suggestions of things to try, or relevant
documentation I thank you in advance!

Have a good one!

Has anyone figured out how to capture coordinates from a reference map
in a DHTML interface without using position:absolute?

I am designing an interface in which requires nesting the reference
map inside other divs and the absolue positioning is throwing
everything off.

If I change the positioning to float:center I can line everything up
all right, but then I loose the click-to-pan functionality.

Thanks

I've seen people mention that you can read ArcInfo grids directly with GDAL, but I have not seen any documentation or examples. Can someone direct me to some, or outline how it is done? I assume you just compose your .map file in some way that refers to arc grids.

I'm a new to MapServer, and am running MapServer with MapScript (and GDAL) on Win2K.

Thanks.

Hi John,

just reference the grid in the DATA statement of your LAYER, eg:

  LAYER
    NAME "ahn_100"
    DATA "c:\data\ahn_100\geogegevens\landsdekkend\ahn_100\w001001.adf"
    STATUS ON

Does it work when you put the dll's next to the Mapserver CGI?

Otherwise try setting the environment variables through SetEnv in
httpd.conf.

You can also have a look at MS4W:

Hi There,

just though I'd post this - it may be helpful if someone can modify the
email settins for this listserv based on the informaton herein.

I was expecting to receive my usual message from the MapServer listserv but
didn't because Spamassasin (a very common SPAM utility) detected the
message as SPAM.

Spamassasin uses rules/points, which it scores based on based on the
message content to decide what is/is not SPAM.  My host has set Spamassasin
so that if a message gets more than 5 "points" then it is not sent through
to me.  Maybe other people are also missing out on their MapServer messages
becuase of this.

I have copied the analysis from Spamassis below.  Perhaps the simplest
thing to do would be to

1. make the emails text/html and not html only.
2. use some lower-case characters in the "from" address.

here are the scores...

 1.0 FROM_NO_LOWER          From address has no lower-case characters
 2.2 BIZ_TLD                URI: Contains an URL in the BIZ top-level domain
 0.5 HTML_60_70             BODY: Message is 60% to 70% HTML
 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE           BODY: HTML included in message
 1.0 HTML_TAG_EXIST_TBODY   BODY: HTML has "tbody" tag
 1.2 MIME_HTML_ONLY         BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
 0.0 HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG  HTML-only message, but there is no HTML

Marty -

Or you could ask your ISP to fix their SPAM settings.....

Are the scores listed below supposed to be the scores you're getting
from a MapServer message?  By far the largest "penalty" appears to be
saying that the message came from a .BIZ TLD address - and that's not
correct for a message from mapserver-users at lists.umn.edu

Yes, it looks assertion-like.  Here is what I found in the gdal source
code, at line 405 of cpl_conv.cpp

void CPLVerifyConfiguration()
{
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*      Verify data types.                                              */
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
    CPLAssert( sizeof(GInt32) == 4 );
    CPLAssert( sizeof(GInt16) == 2 );
    CPLAssert( sizeof(GByte) == 1 );

    if( sizeof(GInt32) != 4 )
        CPLError( CE_Fatal, CPLE_AppDefined,
                  "sizeof(GInt32) == %d ... yow!\n",
                  sizeof(GInt32) );

/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*      Verify byte order                                               */
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
    GInt32   nTest;

    nTest = 1;

#ifdef CPL_LSB
    if( ((GByte *) &nTest)[0] != 1 )
#endif
#ifdef CPL_MSB
    if( ((GByte *) &nTest)[3] != 1 )
#endif
        CPLError( CE_Fatal, CPLE_AppDefined,
                  "CPLVerifyConfiguration(): byte order set wrong.\n" );
}

> You forgot to tell us the most important information: which mapserver

Oops.  Here's the libraries related to gdal and mapserver:

  mapserver  4.4.1
  gdal       1.1.9_1
  jpeg       6b_0
  libgeotiff 1.2.1_0
  libpng     1.2.8_1
  proj       4.4.7_0
  tiff       3.7.1_0
  zlib       1.2.2_1

It seems odd that this hasn't been hit before.  So, I'm suspicious now
of how gdal was built.  :-/  Is there a good way to test gdal?

Thanks for the help, Sean.

Dave

Dave,

Norman Vine has confirmed that this is a GDAL bug that was only very
recently fixed.  The fix might be present in the latest GDAL release.
Check the change log to find out for sure.  At any rate, you should
really be using a newer GDAL.  I'd also recommend MapServer from the
CVS head of the 4.4 branch.  There have been some important fixes since
4.4.1.

cheers,
Sean

Excellent, I will try the newer code for both gdal and mapserver.

Thank you very much, Sean.  For the info and the blinding speed of

Subject: PHP/Mapscript and gdal, segfault?
Message-ID: <SUN.15.MAY.2005.225407.0200.VORTEX25GMX.DE>

Hello!

I'm using PHP/Mapscript for a while. It works perfectly
until now although php is running as an apache dso.
I know that this is discouraged, but a few people
already mentioned that it works.

Now i have discovered that all input formats using
the gdal library (or at least geotiff) causes a segfault.
Can anybody confirm this?

It would be a pitty if i switch to php running as cgi
although this problem could be fixed easy and maybe
isn't related to the php dso at all.

thank you!
Klaus

Hello Everyone,
In version 4.4 of Mapserver,
can anyone tell me how to change the color of a layer using
php/mapscript? There is no variable  pertaining to 'color' in the php
class 'classObj'. Any help in this regard is invaluable to me.

Thanks,

Subject: queryByAttributes issue
Message-ID: <MON.16.MAY.2005.123047.1000.RHYSIOMNILINK.COM.AU>

Hi list,

I'm attempting to do a pretty basic attribute search on a layer and am
getting MapServer crashes. I'll take a guess that I'm giving the
queryByAttributes method invalid input, but the MapServer process dies
silently, giving me no hint of what I could be doing wrong. Hence I would
greatly appreciate some feedback from more experienced MapServer users as to
what (if any) mistakes I've made.

Data config:
~~~~~~~~~
Postgres 7.4.7
PostGIS 1.0.0
PostGIS table 'parks' : CREATE TABLE parks ( ogc_fid integer NOT NULL,
wkb_geometry geometry, name character(50) )

System Config:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Linux (Slackware 10.1)
Apache 1.3.33
PHP 4.3.10 (running as Apache DSO)
MapServer 4.4.1 (runninng as PHP module)


My map file looks like this:

MAP "Map"
    #
    # Other layer definitions & map properties
    #
    LAYER
        NAME "Parks"
        TYPE polygon
        CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
        CONNECTION "dbname=mapdata"
        DATA "wkb_geometry from parks using unique ogc_fid"
        TEMPLATE "stub"
        STATUS ON
        PROJECTION
            "prog=longlat"
            "ellips=GRS80"
        END
        CLASS
            NAME "Parks"
            COLOR 0 160 0
        END
    END
    #
    # Other layer definitions...
    #
END


The relevant code looks like this:

...
if( array_key_exists('FID', $_REQUEST ) ){
    $layer = $map->getLayerByName( 'Parks' ); // always succeeds
    $fid = $_REQUEST['FID'];
    $qryResult = $layer->queryByAttributes( 'ogc_fid', $fid , MS_SINGLE ) //
PHP processing dies here

    if( $qryResult === MS_SUCCESS ){
        // do stuff to highlight result and alter map extent (yet to be
tested - never gets that far)
...

I know it is the queryByAttributes() call which is causing the problem - if
I comment out the queryByAttributes() call, I get a pefectly drawn map with
the default [mapfile defined] extents. The only information I have as to
what is going wrong is found in the Apache error log:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x[some memory
address] ***
[some timstamp] [notice] child pid 1234 exit signal Aborted (6)

Am I doing something wrong, or shall I take this over to MAPSERVER-DEV ?

Thanks for your thoughts

Rhys

Hi,

you need to set the Color of the StyleObj. A StyleObj is associated with a
ClassObj.

// create a new style obj of have one ready in your MAP file
$this->oStyle = ms_newStyleObj( $this->oClass );
// set the color of the style object
$this->oStyle->color->setRGB(0,0,0);

Best regards,

Just whitelist MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU (possibly added to

The segmentation fault was apparently caused by a conflict
between the libtiff linked by libphp5.so and
php_mapscript.so/libgdal. After recompiling php without
tiff support everything works well.

Frank,

I see what you mean. The volume and size do matter.
By the way, instead of Gif, how would be Tiff or GeoTiff?
People told me Tiffs are bigger and less efficient to render map images.
And what is good using GeoTiff instead of just Tiff?

Best regards,
Akio

Akio,

Well, first, scanning 800 polygon records isn't going to take
a significant amount of time anyways, so adding a spatial index
to the tile index isn't likely to gain you much.   If you rendering
requests are slow it is likely due to factors other than scanning
the tileindex itself.

I would add that if map views end up intersecting multiple gif
images (or if the gif images are large) performance will suck.
Gif images are effectively "stream compressed" so to pull
out an overview, or a small section of a gif you essentially end
up having to decompress all or most of the gif file.  This makes gif
a pretty poor format for "geospatial databases".

Spatial indexes on your vector tiles will make a substantial diffference
if your tiles contain alot of features, but typical renders only require
a small number of the features from one or a few tiles.   If the tiles
are quite small and your map views fairly broad, such that typically
most or all of the features from a tile are rendered, then spatial
indices won't help much.

You really need to think about what are typical requests for your
use pattern, and what would be making them slow before you can
plan an effective optimization strategy.

Hi Bart,

to test whether the map file looks .qix or directly to .shp,
I put the extention.
        TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000.qix"
#       TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000.shp"
Do you think without the extention, the system see .qix file first?

Hi,

can you try (without the .shp extension):

TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000"

Btw, the quadtree index only makes a difference if you zoom in, not when you
view the whole layer.

Hello to all,

I just made a *.qix file from *.shp file for Raster TileIndex images --
around 800 gif images,
and tested with and without shape tree. The result was there is no
difference in processing speed.

The procedure was,
gdaltindex MSRAS_12000.shp MSRAS_12000/*.gif,
shptree MSRAS_12000.shp,
and I got MSRAS_12000.qix.
(Under MSRAS_12000 directory there are 800 gif and wld files.)

I wonder if I am following the right procedure, and if so,
why there is no difference on the processing.

In addition, I have around 100 of Vector TileIndex shape directories,
and If ShapeTree really works, I am planning to build *.qix for each Vector
shapes.

My OUTPUTFORMAT amd Raster layer are like these:

OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME gif
    MIMETYPE "image/gif"
    DRIVER "GD/GIF"
    EXTENSION "gif"
    IMAGEMODE RGB
#  IMAGEMODE PC256
    TRANSPARENT FALSE
    FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
END

### RASTER Layer
LAYER
        NAME "MSRAS_12000"
        GROUP "B_RASTER"
        TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000.qix"
#       TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000.shp"
        TILEITEM "Location"
        TYPE RASTER
#       STATUS ON
        STATUS DEFAULT
        MINSCALE 50
        MAXSCALE 5000000
        PROJECTION
                "proj=latlong"
#               "init=epsg:26915"
        END
END

Thank you for your suggestions.

You should not use the qix entension directly in the TILEINDEX. Mapserver
will handle that part for you behind the scenes.

Use
TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000.shp"

Or:
TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000"

My experience is that Mapserver only finds the qix file (and uses it) in
the latter case.

Bart

Klaus, 

I am not aware of any specific incompatibility between 
GDAL and use of PHP MapScript as a dso.  You might want
to try with non-GeoTIFF files that still go through GDAL and/or
try with the cgi version to help determine the boundary of the
problem.  I *suspect* there is a conflicting libtiff in use which
can cause all sorts of pain.

So, for example, you just need to find out the exact (x, y)
coordinates of an element on your page?  You could do it using
javascript:

mapElem = document.getElementById("yourMapId");    
mapMinX = findPosX(mapElem);
mapMinY = findPosY(mapElem);

// find how many pixels an element is from the left of the screen
//  by recursively traversing up the tree and summing the offsets
function findPosX(elem) {
  var left = 0;
  if (elem.offsetParent) {
    while (elem.offsetParent) {
      left += elem.offsetLeft
      elem = elem.offsetParent;
    }
  }
  else if (elem.x) {
    left += elem.x;
  }
  return left;
}

// find how many pixels an element is from the top of the screen
//  by recursively traversing up the tree and summing the offsets
function findPosY(elem) {
  var top = 0;
  if (elem.offsetParent) {
    while (elem.offsetParent) {
      top += elem.offsetTop
      elem = elem.offsetParent;
    }

Message-ID: <MON.16.MAY.2005.091811.0500.PHILL.WATSONSCISYS.CO.UK>

Hi,

First of all. Thanks to all for the effort put into MapServer.

I've been attempting to get "imgshape" nquery working with PostGIS tables
and come across a bug I thought I would share with whoever's listening. I
wasn't sure where to post this, so here it is.

The bug definitely affects postGIS layers, but may affect others.

Within the function msQueryByShape() a local shapeObj is used to iterate
the results of the search. This should be initialised (cleared) before the
loop. The postGis driver calls msAddLine during its processing of
msLayerNextShape(), and this attempts to free the reference pointed to be
shape->line.

The snippet of msQueryByShape() to change below:

  lp->resultcache = (resultCacheObj *)malloc(sizeof(resultCacheObj)); //
allocate and initialize the result cache
  lp->resultcache->results = NULL;
  lp->resultcache->numresults = lp->resultcache->cachesize = 0;
  lp->resultcache->bounds.minx = lp->resultcache->bounds.miny = lp-
>resultcache->bounds.maxx = lp->resultcache->bounds.maxy = -1;

  msInitShape(&shape); // initialise shape object
  while((status = msLayerNextShape(lp, &shape)) == MS_SUCCESS) { // step
through the shapes
    shape.classindex = msShapeGetClass(lp, &shape, map->scale);


Thanks again,
Phill

Akio, 

If space is significant, you might consider creating a tiled and
deflate compressed GeoTIFF file.  The tiling ensures that only local
data needs to be decompressed to satisfy requests.  The deflate
compression provides similar (or better) compression than you would
normally get with gif. 

However, there have been some problems with building overviews
on compressed TIFF files lately, so that might not be such a great
idea. 

GeoTIFFs are TIFFs with coordinate system and georeferencing
information in them.  For your purposes TIFF + world file would likely
be fine.

I'm writing an application which loads a point layer from a Postgis

I haven't been able to work out how to get MapServer to respect the

If I load the same layer via a mapfile, everything works fine - the

FWIW, I'm working with MapServer 4.4.1, Postgres 8.0.1, PostGIS RC6,

Rick,

I *think* Sean made some improvements with regard to 
transparency and raster symbols in 4.4.2.  You might want to 
upgrade and try again.  If the flags are actually raster layers then
that would bounce the issue into my court.

Subject: Label Coloring
Message-ID: <MON.16.MAY.2005.104345.0600.DAVID.ROBNETTNOAA.GOV>

Hi list,

I am trying to map data from a csv file using php mapscript.  I would
like be able to color the label text based on values within the csv
file.  I have previously used expressions in the class object and a
classitem to do this with spatial data and was hoping there is a similar
method for the csv file.  I get the data plotted by creating line
objects and adding them as a feature to the layer but coloring them
according to different values has me stumped.  My only thought so far
has been to create different layers with each one having a single class
and label object with the color set to my specs.  This seems like it is
very inefficient and non-extensible way to do this.  Any hints or
pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Bill: No, there's no escaping there at the moment. Never got around
to extending the regular expressions in maplexer.l to handle them. Just
not been a priority. That's probably because I'm not aware of a single
instance where that was a limitation. Doesn't mean that it can never
happen, as your example shows.

Steve,

Is there an escape character in Mapserver strings?  For example, does
\"
mean a literal quotation mark?

I can imagine times where the switch to single quotes won't help, for
example, someone with polycap tablenames in a PostGIS connection (note
the
other running thread on this and the postgis-users board).

DATA "geom from (SELECT geom, oid from \"PolyCapTableName\" where
feature
= 'FooBar') as foo using unique oid using SRID 123"

Since 'FooBar' needs the single quotes for PostGIS, using single quotes

for the whole thing won't work.

Looking at the code, it looks like something could be done in
maplexer.c
or mapfile.c to perform that escape on reading the strings.  It might
help
solve alot of these issues.

Just a thought

Bill

Hi,

Support was added in version 4.4 if I remember correctly.

It was already possible to use them through OGR before that.

Just use TYPE LINE in your MAP file.

Another thing that I'm wondering is: will I need any data in addition to

Ryan,

Thank you for the comments on my maps. You might be interested in
looking at http://imaptools.com/~woodbri/ which is a new interface I am
working on that has multiple map styles that you can switch on the fly.
I have been adding more styles as I have time. I am happy to help people
when if they get stuck on any specific rendering issues. Just post to
the list.

99% of the data is extracted from the Tigerline files. I have a few
miscellaneous data layers that I have collected elsewhere as downloads like:

Canada and Mexico reference layers, placenames data layer, zipcode
polygons (you can get then from the census site). There might be one or
two other layers, but 99% is just the Tigerline data converted to
shapefiles. For some of the data layers I have post processed the data,
like for highways I scan the road names can extract route type and
number and populate attributes to make rendering easier. You can do this
with Perl or PHP mapscript and some regular expressions.

Rick, you say everything works fine when you load the same layer via a
mapfile ... so why not do that?  I'm going to need more details on your
use before I can be of any help such as how you are styling and
rendering the points, and perhaps the relevant portion of the mapfile
that works.

Bernardo,

You need a reference map definition in your mapfile that points to the reference image.  This can be done statically in your mapfile or you need to create one in php-mapscript as a referenceMapObj embedded in the mapObj.  Here is an example of a definition in a mapfile:

  #
  # Start of reference map
  #
  REFERENCE
    IMAGE "/var/www/html/apps/siuslaw_epa/data/ref/blue_marble_us_200_150.gif"
    EXTENT -170 10 -64 90
    SIZE 200 150
    STATUS OFF
    MINBOXSIZE 1
    MAXBOXSIZE 200
    COLOR -1 -1 -1
    OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
    MARKERSIZE 10
    MARKER 'star'
  END

In this example I then do the following in php-mapscript:

  $img_ref = $oMap->drawReferenceMap();
  $url_ref = $img_ref->saveWebImage();

Hope this helps... and try reading up on the php-mapscript class reference:

Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for
raster data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format
that some users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if
I can show them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to
wait so they know and they can wait or cancel the process.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

thanks very much

Subject: Creating shaded zip code maps (newbie)
Message-ID: <MON.16.MAY.2005.142229.0700.STEVEN_GERTZCITYSEARCH.COM>

All,

This is my first time dipping my toe into the GIS world, after a couple
of years of working on problems that dealt with geography.  I'm finally
getting the chance to visualize our data.

I'm tring to create a highlighted view zip codes, based on the number of
ad impressions we have for each zip code.  I'd want to do some number
crunching and shade each zip code (or other geographical shape) between
white and some solid (with gray for no data).

I've got the 5 digit Zip code tablulation areas from the census.  From
there things get more tricky.  I think I want a raster image for each
scale of the map, but I can't find any interfaces that allow making the
raster files easy in perl.  I can't seem to find anything that will link
the raster and geographic data together.

Does anyone have advice for solving this type of problem?  Seems this
would be a great FAQ to add to the mapserver / gdal / grass / et al
websites.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

this is very doable.  The most recent CVS has some added features for
this, but even out of the box 4.4 can do this for you.

Your easiest solution would be to use ESRI Shapefiles for the zipcodes.
Once you have those (they are vector datasets), you can link in your data
via several methods (mapscript or postGIS come to mind).

I have recently done exactly this with census blocks recently.  Here's the
process I took:

1) Got the census block shapefiles (from FGDL.org in my case since I just
needed florida).  You'd need zipcode shapefiles (they're available)

2) Loaded the files into postGIS using shp2pgsql (making sure I set the
SRID right).

3) Setup my other data (traffic counts from BTS) in another Postgresql
table indexed by census block id

4) Added a layer to my map that used PostGIS and performed the query and
join that I wanted.

5) Created Styles/Classes that displayed the ranges I wanted based on the
attributes I joined to.  I used the Gradient/ColorRange code I
contributed, but it isn't needed: you can just define classes for each
range of data that you want a different color (0.0->0.25, 0.25->0.5, etc)

Once I had exactly what I wanted, I actually exported the things that were
static back out to shapefiles using pgsql2shp.  This let my static stuff
be loaded faster.

This is very doable, and in fact, it is incredible what you can do with
just these tools.  I'm sure those with more experience can give you better
paths to take, but this one works for me.

The application allows each user, or group of users, to view different
data layers superimposed on the same base map. This is running as a web
service, so we don't want to have to manage potentially hundreds or
thousands of maps that differ only in one or two layers.

OK, and thanks. In reverse order, then, here's the mapfile fragment:

         LAYER
                 NAME user_data
                 STATUS on
                 CONNECTION "user=XXXX password=YYYY dbname=ZZZZ
host=localhost port=5432"
                 CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
                 DATA "the_geom from j_random_table"
                 TYPE point
                 CLASS
                         NAME "pins"
                         STYLE
                                 BACKGROUNDCOLOR 0 255 0
                                 COLOR 0 255 0
                                 SYMBOL ../../Image/Pin/pin_black_map.gif
                         END
                 END
         END

And the code:

        // Corresponds to the LAYER statement above
        layerObj l = new layerObj(map);
        l.setType(MS_LAYER_TYPE.MS_LAYER_POINT);
        l.setConnectiontype(MS_CONNECTION_TYPE.MS_POSTGIS);
        l.setConnection(connectionString);
        l.setData(geomString);
        l.setStatus(mapscriptConstants.MS_ON);
        l.setName("data_layer");

        // corresponds to CLASS statement
        classObj c = l.getClass(0);
        // paranoia?
      if (c == null)
                c = new classObj(l);
        // this seems to be needed in the API version of this
        c.setStatus(mapscriptConstants.MS_ON);

        // create a symbolObj and insert it into the map's symbol set
        symbolObj so = new symbolObj("pin",pinPath);
        symbolSetObj ss = map.getSymbolset();
        ss.appendSymbol(so);
        // create a style object to attach the symbol to
        styleObj style = new styleObj(c);
        style.setSymbol(1);
        style.setSymbolname("pin");

I've also attached the resulting map, though I'm not sure if the list
will strip it or not.

Thanks for any insight you can provide. In my perfect world the
solution is something simple, even if not obvious :-)

Thanks a lot! I got it working now. From the mapscript API, it looks
like we have to define STYLE for any color attributes and should not
embed COLOR directly into the CLASS.

But, anyway I got it!

Rick,

My recommendation is to include your "pin" symbol in your base map file
instead of adding it through mapscript.  Load up the base map file,
then add your new layer, set the style symbol to the index of the pin
symbol and you should be good to go.

Hello,

I've been away for a few days hence the late reply.

Python MapScript is running fine now on my system.

First I also installed Python and the "None" package on a Windows 2000
system, works at once.

Then on the XP machine where I had problems before it also works now
(nothing was changed except a few reboots).

Thanks for all the advice.

Regards,

Emil

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Display progress bar while waiting for
data


Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for
raster data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format
that some users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if
I can show them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to
wait so they know and they can wait or cancel the process.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

thanks very much

dejan

Having been spending some time looking at the socket connection between a client and 
Mapserver I don't think this is possible because the content-length attribute in the
http response isn't set, so when you read the data you read until an EOF exception.  

It is only possible to show a busy icon, and the number of bytes currently downloaded, something
Firefox does when it downloads from MapServer to.

I will gladly be corrected though!

Hi,

FYI, in Mapserver 4.0 things were changed. A CLASS object got the possibility to have 1 or more STYLE objects (to make more advanced styling possible). Previously one would just set the COLOR of a CLASS. So STYLES is the > 4.0 way to go.

Best regards,

Thanks a lot! I got it working now. From the mapscript API, it looks
like we have to define STYLE for any color attributes and should not
embed COLOR directly into the CLASS.

But, anyway I got it!

Thanks,
Giridhar

Hi all,

I have decided to try my hand at a little Python Mapscript, after using
PHP Mapscript for about 3 years, but am having some trouble building it.

I executed python setup.py build as per the wiki instructions, but
received a ld error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmap

and then gcc exits.

Am I missing a library or something?

Mapserver is v 4.4.1 on RH9 (shrike)...

Alternatively is there a pre-built python mapscript somewhere that I can
use? I just want to try my hand at it for now...

Hi

I posted a couple of weeks ago and have not been able to solve my problem
with international text characters not displaying properly..

I am using a shapefile with text fields encoded in LATIN1, and am almost
certain that the truetype font I am using to label supports these characters.

Can anyone help?  I stuck..

I'm thinking it must have something to do with either the font, libiconv, or
ms4w - which I used to set up mapserver.  Has anyone else experienced
similar problems with ms4w?

I am setting up the the layer as follows:

#Towns layer

I faced with similar problems in Latvian, when using shape files.
I had problem to show right language specific simbols in labels on map.
The problem for Latvian language is that there is multiple encodings.
I solved that problem by using an older RimFonts, that have different
encoding.
And I did it just by dummy testing, because I know that something similar
happens
with ArcView 3.x

Probably some light could ge Googling for Font encoding on mapserver site.

But regarding language specific things, there are just few lines in docs.

Would be good to see some where what mapserver is doing when are outputing
on
picture string that f.ex is in LatinX.

Paul, 

Have you already built mapserver?  Do you have a libmap.a in the
main mapserver directory?

You can grab the FWTools build which includes python
mapscript and gdal python bindings.  It does not include PHP.

You should take a look at some applications that do it like for example USGS
MapSurfer.

http://cortez.gps.caltech.edu/mapsurfer/mapsurfer/index.html

The general principal that that uses I think is to load the map in a
separate hidden frame and then once that pages is fully loaded passes the
image reference etc. to the viewing frame using some javascript tricks.  The
viewing frame in the meantime just shows an animated "Loading ..." gif.

The whole interface is fairly slick so may be more than what you are looking
for.

I'm not sure if there is an easier way to do this without using hidden
frames or a java applet.

Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for raster
data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format that some
users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if I can show
them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to wait so they
know and they can wait or cancel the process.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

thanks very much

Nuri,

I would encourage you to be more specific about what you want to 
accomplish.   Are you digitizing shapes over an image?  Do you 
need snapping or other advanced editing features?  

The obvious solution to creating shapefiles is to use ArcView or
ArcGIS.   You could also use OpenEV but it can be somewhat 
clumsy for some sorts of vector editing operations, and lacks things
like snapping.  

I am assuming you want a desktop editing application.  Perhaps you
meant a web based editing solution through mapserver?  If so, I 
suggest you make that clearer.

Best regards,

Norman, 

For at least some return data types it might be practical to embed
the content type in the return image header from MapServer.  For
instance, any "gdal" based output formats are first spooled to disk
and then returned to the web connection so we could include 
content-length.

However, the client side would still have no information to report
to the user until the head arrived.  For the whole time that mapserver
is rendering the image, there would be no progress information on the
client side. 

Overall, I am dubious about the practically of meaningful progress
information.  The only case it would help is big return images over
slow links where the image transmission is the bulk of the time.

Hello,

The first thing that usually has to be done when encountering problems
with international text characters is to check if the character
encoding used is supported by iconv. You can check it here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

If it is, then it is just a matter of finding the right font set that
can handle the i18n text, which you most probably have in your
computer already.

Steve,

Bill Binko's advice is good. I also just did this using PostGIS and it
was very straight forward. Setting up PostGIS is pretty easy, but learn
Postgres was a little tricky with only a MySQL background, but it all
came together. I used the Census zcta5 polygons and loaded them into
PostGIS all my other reference data was in shapefiles and mapserver
handled it all with easy.

Other have done similar things using MySQL, and/or GDAL, but I think
PostGIS is worth the extra effort to learn it and set it up as it has
lots of other cool features and is a more scalable solution. I'm joining
the polygons with Census Summary File information and data similar to ad
impressions. http://imaptools.com/test/postgis-maps.php

In-Reply-To: 6667
Message-ID: <TUE.17.MAY.2005.081557.0700.HELMSTER_99YAHOO.COM>

I have a few strange Raster situations I wanted to
share with the list.

1. I have a few rasters (Geotiffs) I use as
backgrounds for vector data and they're appearing on
opposite sides of my map, very distorted. When I zoom
to Alaska images from Sweden can be seen, and when I
zoom to Sweden the image from Alaska appears. The
Sweden images also can seen, distorted, in Siberia.

Has anyone seen this behaviour previously?

2. When querying my data at a very 'zoomed in' extent
(and other times) the query map that is being
generated displays all rasters as if you were zoomed
to the full extent of the application. Plus I use a
tiled global MODIS background image that draws only
the section that I'm zoomed into to, but at full
extent.

These are quite strange issues, and they didn't begin
to happen until I upgraded my MapServer version.

I've posted screenshots of the raster problems at:
http://yama.colorado.edu:8080/~chelm/raster_issue/

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: MapScript with C#
Message-ID: <TUE.17.MAY.2005.161626.0100.MIKESAUNTGMAIL.COM>

Hi All

I thought I'd send out an exploratory email with regards to MapScript in C#. 
I'm a developer in the UK and having come from a commercial mapping 
background mainly MapInfo with a bit of ESRI, Oracle etc thrown in. It is my 
first exploration into Open Source Mapping and once having a version 
compiled and running (with help from others on this list) I have found it 
quite simple to set up and pass around from machine to machine i.e. No 
massive sets of overheads with COM registration etc just a few dll's.

I have taken this step as I wanted to learn MapScript in an environment that 
I am familiar with i.e. .NET. The only 'issue' comes down to the compilation 
process and the building of SWIG interface. I have recieved some binaries 
and source from different members of the group and this has been excellent 
and has got me up and running. 

I was wondering if anyone has plans to compile windows binaries and SWIG 
Interfaces etc on a regular basis. If not then would anyone find it 
beneficial if these were done for them?

My longer term plans are to develop on Linux with one of the flavours i.e. 
Python, Perl or PHP but at present am not sure which will be best suited.

Regarding the three environments PHP, Perl or Python I was wondering about 
the following:

Which environment is best supported with MapScript or are they all as good 
as each other? 

Am I correct in assuming that PHP MapScript is different to that of Perl / 
Python and therefore the SWIG C# version?

Which environment best supports the creation of standard Web services (not 
WMS / WMF but vanilla web services) ?

Are there many developers using MapServer and / or MapScript in the C# 
environment? What have the experiences been like?

Are there many developers in the UK using MapServer and / or MapScript ? 
What have the experiences been like with large datasets such as Mastermap 
etc?

Apologies for the long email with so many questions but after having dipped 
my toe in with MapServer I feel like jumping right in!

Many Thanks in advance
Mike

Dejan -

I'll second Frank's scepticism here.  Most of the "Image Loading"
animations you see on mapping sites are just that - animations.  They're
standalone animated GIFs and the like which cause pixels to twinkle on
the user's screen but which have no relationship to the actual progress
of the application.  The server could burst into flames and the "Image
Loading" graphic would keep dancing.

The site Regina mentions falls into this category.  IMHO, these kinds of
graphics are primarily used to try to cover up slow map servers, and not
to give users meaningful progress feedback.

I think by far the best feedback mechanism for image load time is the
map image itself.  If you simply display the image in a format that
browsers can easily render incrementally, then the user can see the
image begin to appear and will get a good feel for how long it will take
just by watching it.  JPEG is NOT a good choice for this, but GIF and
PNG images should render properly on most browsers.

For example, look at this image:

http://www.topozone.com/images/MtMonadnockTopo.gif

Over a slow connection.  You should see the large map image load
incrementally, so you know things are working.  If the image were
smaller and in a frame (to define the final output size) it would be
relatively easy to assess how much progress is being made.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Display progress bar while waiting for
data

Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for
raster data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format
that some users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if
I can show them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to
wait so they know and they can wait or cancel the process.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

thanks very much

dejan

For C#?  Other than the dot net gis project, no, and I'm not sure of
the status there.  I haven't heard from them in a while.  Both Frank
Warmerdam and Howard Butler are distributing Python mapscript for
win32.  Frank's FWTools also includes GDAL/OGR, and OpenEV.  I believe
there are PHP binaries at maptools.org.

Unless you have an existing mod_perl powered web site into which you
must integrate mapping there is, frankly, no reason to go with the Perl
mapscript.  I apologize to all my Perl using friends and colleagues out
there, but that's just the way it is.  The Python mapscript is the most
robust, fully featured, and best supported of the SWIG mapscript
flavors.

Choosing between PHP and Python mapscript is mostly a matter of the
framework of your existing site, and a choice of which higher-level
frameworks you would like to use in the future.  If you go the PHP
route, you will be able to try out DM Solutions' Chameleon software (at
maptools.org) which has a lot of users, good support, lots of features.
  If you go with Python, you will be able to use the ZCO/PrimaGIS
solution for Zope and Plone (http://primagis.technocore.fi/).  Python
is also a much richer environment for GIS programming (GDAL/OGR,
Numeric, etc).

Vanilla web services?  Python has great XML tools, but the SOAP stuff
isn't very advanced -- mainly because SOAP (IMO) just isn't very
useful.  Here's a link:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-pyth5/.
Python's SOAP might be better now.  I don't know anything about PHP web
services, but I'm sure they have something.

That works. Not sure it's our ideal solution, but it moves us forward.

Hi,
 
within my MAP object I have specified a 
 
SHAPEPATH '/var/www/html/wcs/'
 
and then within my layer object I have
DATA 'test/Pressure/dbIndex'
 
however this fails, but works if I have 
SHAPEPATH '/var/www/html/wcs/test/Pressure' and DATA as 'dbIndex'
 
Can I specify relative directories and shape filename to shapepath with the DATA tag?
 
Many thanks,

I'm not sure what the implications of directory privileges are ... but
could it be possible the webserver has access to
/var/www/html/wcs/test/Pressure and not /var/www/html/wcs/test ?

Chris, 

Based on a quick inspection this seems to be a reprojection
"wrap around" issue.   Is it possible for you to prepare a
mapfile and one raster image that demonstrate this problem 
with shp2img or a direct mapserv invocation?  If so, I can
dig into the problem in more detail.

This is a bit odd.  I would once again guess at it being 
reprojection related, but it does not seem consistent with
the wraparound problem.   Once again an isolated 
reproduable example would be helpful.

There was an important bug fix
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1319 made to the
heads of the 4.4 and 4.6 branches.  I'm not sure there will be a 4.4.3
release, but you can get the fix from a nightly 4.4 build.

Read my article about MapServer thread safety.  As far as I know, the
situation remains the same:

Luca, 

In theory these files should be treated as 8bit images 
with a 2 color color table (and values that are either 0 or 1). 
In MapServer this should come through as a pseudocolored
image.  Of course, you need your mapserver build with GDAL
support.  The libtiff based TIFF support in mapserver will not
support 1 bit files. 

Note that it is a pretty big image, and compressed, so access
to it from GDAL or mapserver is not likely to be very efficient. 

If you just can't get it working, it is presumably due to something
peculiar with the build of GDAL used in your mapserver.  Note
that I believe QGIS uses GDAL for tiff access, much like MapServer
does. 

Best regards,.

Subject: Scale and extents: relationship?
Message-ID: <TUE.17.MAY.2005.133941.0500.SYSADMINSATSHOT.COM>

Hi, folks.

        This question may sound rather peculiar, but I'm wondering about the
relationship between map extents and the scale of the map.  Specifically, how
can I convert between the scale value of MINSCALE (or MAXSCALE) and map
extents?

        I ask this because, in my PHP Mapscript application, I have zooming to
queried features implemented in terms of zooming to a box around the extents
of the feature; I want to ensure that this doesn't enable anyone to zoom in
closer than MINSCALE, but the way that I do this (by calculating the length
of one side of the feature's bounding box, and ensuring the "zoom-to"
bounding box is larger than a minimum) requires that I know what the minimum
length is, in map coordinates.

        In my current app, I was able to calculate this "minimum delta" by eyeballing
the extents of the box at maximum zoom in the mapfile I'm testing with, but
that's hardly general enough to work with different mapfiles, as I need to
do.  So I'm hoping to find out how I can convert between the two units.

        Any help would be much appreciated.

Paul,

Have you already built mapserver?  Do you have a libmap.a in the
main mapserver directory?

You can grab the FWTools build which includes python
mapscript and gdal python bindings.  It does not include PHP.

Subject: Need tutorial on PHPMapScript
Message-ID: <TUE.17.MAY.2005.120354.0700.JKIMSCIENCES.SDSU.EDU>

Hi,

I couldn't find any tutorials on PHPMapScript beyond drawing a simple map. Could someone outline for me (or point me to a tutorial on) how to:

- Let user zoom/pan on a map
- Link a URL to a polygon
- Color a raster map

I saw tutorials on doing this within MapServer but I'm not sure how to do the same in PHPMapScript. I'm trying to let users pan/zoom/identify a watershed map with topography (raster) shown behind it. So far I do everything in my .map file, not in PHP.

Thanks.

John

Frank,

I've created a site where you can see the problem
occurring with the Alaskan image showing up distorted
in Sweden. The mapfile is very simple, it has two
layers, the raster, and countries.

Hi,

there is a workshop from the MUM2 conference:

http://www.omsug.ca/osgis2004/proceedings.html

PHP Mapscript - Daniel Morissette & Assefa Yewondwossen [ppt] [sxi]
[workshop application & data]

Also, you could look at Chameleon which has a lot of PHP/Mapscript code in
it.

Chris,

I certainly see the problem occuring.  To follow up on
this, I need a mapfile a raster data file that demonstrates
the problem (that I can download and run).  It should
have preset map extents for sweden, and no external
dependencies other than the raster file.

Subject: JOIN object and WMS/WFS
Message-ID: <TUE.17.MAY.2005.162200.0500.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

This is most likely a problem with the WMS/WFS implementations in that
they are not doing any joins before returning features via the OGJ
interfaces. Joins for normal MapServer queries are handled in the
templating code which is why it was probably missed. I can guarantee
there is no support for joins in schema production either. Supporting
one-to-one joins should not be difficult, one-to-many joins will be more
complicated. This could have implications for the underlying C APIs (and
consequently MapScript) as well if one were to generalize support for
joins a bit. I sound like a broken record, but please file a bug...

Hi,

I have a .shp/.shx/.dbf combo which I have publised as a

I have an additional .dbf file which I'd like to join to the layer.
However when I issue a WMS GetFeatureInfo WFS DescribeFeatureType I
can't see the data from the seperate .dbf file.

Any suggestions?  Below is my mapfile layer def:

Subject: ka-Map: new open source project
Message-ID: <TUE.17.MAY.2005.172732.0400.PSPENCERDMSOLUTIONS.CA>

ka-Map: new open source project
===============================

http://ka-Map.maptools.org/

DM Solutions Group is pleased to annouce the release of a new MapTools
open source project aimed at the growing interest in highly interactive,
javascript mapping applications based on MapServer.  Here are some
details ...

ka-Map provides many of the features that one should expect in a
state-of-the-art web-mapping application.

Features include:

* tile-based continuous panning

* no page reloading

* keymap, legend and scalebar

* zoom in/zoom out

* keyboard navigation

* sliding effects for panning on double click (ok, that one's for fun!)

We have also implemented some advanced features that are more in tune
with the MapServer community's needs:

* configuration can include multiple map files with different extents,
image formats, and scales for each map file.  Client side interface can
include the ability to change between map files

* ability to have layer visibility controls by drawing each GROUP as a
separate HTML layer on the client side

* ability to use HTML legend template to build more advanced layer controls

* flexible tile caching system

* separation of the javascript logic from the HTML page to provide an
API with which to build your applications

ka-Map is built on AJAX principles and uses the XmlHttpRequest object to
communicate with the server, providing a much more responsive user
interface.  The server side is implemented using PHP/MapScript (what
else!) but could easily be replaced with anything that would spit out
the equivalent javascript in response to the various requests.

ka-Map uses cached tiles generated on demand by drawing much larger map
images and slicing them up.  The caching mechanism is currently quite
simplistic and could not handle large data projects, but it is
definitely sufficient for getting started.  There are issues with this
kind of tile generation, but it is almost essential for performance
given the current state of the art.

ka-Map is aiming to be an API for developing mapping applications.  As
such, we are hoping it will be picked up by, and integrated into, some
of the other open source projects such as MapBender, ZMapServer,
GeoServer, and (of course) Chameleon.

The home of ka-Map is:

http://ka-Map.maptools.org

Downloads and CVS are not quite ready, but you can try out the interface
by visiting our first public site based on this technology (basic
features only in this one):

http://maps.dmsolutions.ca/

Subscribe to the user list to find out when downloads and CVS access are
available, and also to participate in the ongoing development and
testing of this new technology.

http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ka-map-users

We are hoping this project will engage the MapServer community's
interest and gain momentum from user contributions.  Please join up and
start contributing if you are interested in this technology!

Sincerely,

Paul

So, I already have a suggestion :)

Could you hookup the zoomin/zoomout to the mouse wheel?

See this site for a cross-platform approach (that works on very modern
Firefox, and all IE 6+)

Chris, 

OK, the problem is that PROJ.4 maps some location on the 
other side of the globe into the UTM 8 zone you are using. 
This does seem to be some sort of wrap around instability 
issue. 

warmerda at gdal2200[305]% proj  +proj=utm +zone=8 +ellps=WGS84
5 60
-339686.29      7396243.98
10 60
-1313079.75     5684270.49
0 60
512501.80       8653308.24

warmerda at gdal2200[306]% proj -I +proj=utm +zone=8 +ellps=WGS84
512501.80       8653308.24
134d27'48.133"W 77d57'14.884"N
-1313079.75     5684270.49
159d42'17.209"W 48d35'37.222"N

What we can see from the above is that some locations such as 10E,60N
map to locations fairly near the UTM 8 zone, even though when you 
convert that location back to UTM you get a completely different longitude

10E,60N -> -1313079.75E 5684270.49N -> 159d42'17.209"W 48d35'37.222"N

I'm not exactly sure what to do about this.  One possible approach is to 
make the UTM (really transverse mercator) fail in cases where the foward
and reverse projections are so divergent.   

Would you mind filing a formal bug against PROJ.4 for the above "proj"
level issue?  Then I can take it up on the proj.4 mailing list for possible
resolution.

In general the problem is that the math for some projections becomes
very unstable or at least weird when you get far from the region of validity
and you can get the odd world-wrapping-around sorts of issues.

Nice idea.  I tried the sample and it didn't work for me in firefox
1.0.4 ... a bit disappointing!

If you would like to see this in ka-Map anyway you need to:

1. file an enhancement bug in www.maptools.org/bugzilla using the ka-Map
product and core component.

2. probably try to implement it yourself once the source is available
and then supply a diff/patch/instructions on how to do it ... its likely
not difficult to implement so I would encourage this to be a contribution :)

Cheers

Paul

Here's a link about what versions of Mozilla et. al it should work with:

I was disappointed as well.

Paul,

One thing I noticed, is that the zoomin/out functions seem like they
should paint the tiles from the center, outwards. The User focus is
usually centered on a view for example.  Would need a whole different
algorithm for the tile painting though.  :c)

Another thought, did you try the same thing with interlaced images?
More from a speed of navigation perspective than anything else.  I
suppose they would hurt overall performance in the end though.

Dear MapServer experts,

Has anyone seen the following error message?

ap is undefined.: Unable to access file. adLabelString()

We have installed MapServer 4.4.2 on RedHat Enterprise WS
and are trying to run mapserv as CGI.
The Google search didn't give us any useful information
and we are desparate...

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Junya

Message-ID: <WED.18.MAY.2005.142500.0200.PHILIPPE.GONDEKGMAIL.COM>

Hi List,

I try to render a scalebar and to show it. I work with PHP/Mapscript
and here is the way I do;

$map->scalebar->set("units",MS_KILOMETERS);
$map->scalebar->set("style",0);
$map->scalebar->set("intervals",5);
$map->scalebar->set("height",40);

$image2=$map->drawScaleBar();
               $ScaleBar_url = $image2->saveWebImage();

?>

<html>
<body>

<!-- AFFICHAGE DE L'IMAGE -->
<img src=<?php echo "'http://139.165.123.213".$image_url."'
width='".$map->width.
       "px' height='".$map->height."px'";?>/>

<BR>

<!-- AFFICHAGE DE L'ECHELLE -->
<img src=<?php echo "'http://139.165.123.213".$ScaleBar_url." height=40 px";?>/>

</body>
</html>

How must I do to have the real units. I have kilometers on my scalebar
but it is too small to match with reality!!!

Subject: File Size/Format Problem?
Message-ID: <WED.18.MAY.2005.093336.0400.GTAYLO2CLEMSON.EDU>

Greetings,

   I'm working on adding a raster layer to an existing map that consists
of a line layer (shape file). The problem is, when I try to add the
layer listed below, I get a blank white map for output when the layer is
selected:

LAYER
 NAME "clemsongeo"
 DATA "graphics/camp_tif.tif"
 TYPE RASTER
 STATUS DEFAULT
END

I looked in the tmp images directory and there are a bunch of different
empty .png's with varying sizes so it looks like it's at least
attempting to use the raster file I've given it. We had figured this may
be due to the raster file's massive size (250 meg) but I couldn't find
anything on size limitations within the documentation.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? Furthermore, does
Mapserver support .SID files? I saw a listing of supported files but
some of the terminology used is foreign to me (as is GIS for the most
part).

Thanks in advance!

Hi All!



I want to know some things:



Is it possible to specify a url or to define a style in the GepMap Request?

http://localhost:80/cgi-bin/wms?request=GetMap
..SLD=http://url/style.sld...

Or http://localhost:80/cgi-bin
/wms?request=GetMap
..SLD_BODY=<!xml...><StyledLayorDescriptor
..>
</StyledLayorDescriptor>




Is it possible to define more than 1 style for a layer? A default style (in
the layer config in the mapfile) and another newstyle (where define it??)
called as:

http://localhost:80/cgi-bin
/wms?request=GetMap
..layers=layername&styles=newstyle...  ??



Thanks!

Hi,

Answer to your first question is: yes it is possible to use SLD or SLD_BODY.

Answer to your second question is: no it is not possible to use named styles. You can only define the default (or empty) style.

Hi

I have a mapfile in imagemap outputformat with a layer with a PostGIS layer
I use mapserver cvs

OUTPUTFORMAT

NAME "imagemap"

MIMETYPE "imagemap"

DRIVER "imagemap"

EXTENSION "html"

IMAGEMODE "PC256"

TRANSPARENT FALSE

FORMATOPTION
"SYMBOLHREF=javascript:affichage_popup('./info.php?uid=%s&dept=21','popup1')
"

FORMATOPTION "POLYHREF=#"

END




The imagemap works fine on a postgis layer with

 type polygon but


doesn't to work for

type point

I means that from the '%s' gave me only the layer's name (baigande21) ...I
got from FormatOption

affichage_popup('./info.php?uid=baignade21&dept=21','popup1')"

Is it possible to get something like

Dear mapserver-support,
I have successfully installed mapserver 4.4.2 in my pc
Linux cicciu 2.6.5-7.151-default #1 Fri Mar 18 11:31:21 UTC 2005 i686 athlon

I have downloaded to workshop.zip to test my mapserver, but maybe I dont have
well configured the index.html file.
Both via Mozilla firefox and konqueror dont read correctly the information in
the map file and or in the index.html file.

I paste here the lines i have changed in the index.html file

Frank,

As a co-worker of Chris's, I've been following this conversation closely.

It seems to me that proj is behaving reasonably already:  you give it
nonsensical input, it gives you nonsensical output.  That is, if you
give it lon/lat coordinates in Sweden and try to project them to UTM
zone 8 (Alaska, central meridian -135), you should expect weird
results.

I think the problem is that mapserver is giving proj nonsensical
input.  The mapfile contains this layer for one of the Alaska images:

  LAYER
    NAME "taku_L7"
    GROUP RASTERS
    TYPE RASTER
    STATUS OFF
    DATA p058r019_7t20010815_z08_421RGB.tif
    MAXSCALE 22331381.8
    PROJECTION
      "proj=utm"
      "ellps=WGS84"
      "zone=8"
      "north"
      "no_defs"
    END
  END

The projection is specified as Zone 8.  Yet, when you zoom into
Sweden, Mapserver thinks it needs to display the zone 8 image anyway.

Or maybe it does the reprojection before deciding whether to display
or not?  If that's what's going on, then it seems that you could fix
it either by doing what you suggested (having proj fail in such cases,
in which case mapserver could be made to ignore that layer), or have
mapserver pay attention to the location of the zones of the layers
relative to the map extents.

Mapscripters,

Labels are drawn for a class with as little as 'LABEL END' in the map file.
That's pretty cool.

But how can I tell, using mapscript, if such a label is defined?
classObj.label returns an object regardless.

Hints?

Hello All,
Did anyone try getting all the lat and long from a POINT Layer? By
using Mapserver, Mapscript or any 3rd party tools.

I want to try displaying them on the client side, possibly with all
the attributes the shapefile contains.

Other way: I remember someone achieving this. But, I dont know how.
The only thing I remember is, he used GML for transferrring the
lat-long and attributes.

I really appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Best Regards,
Giridhar

Adam,

That's right, all classObjs have a default label.  Whether or not a
class is labeled depends on the parent layer's labelitem.

Subject: WCS Server Problems
Message-ID: <WED.18.MAY.2005.134940.0700.CHODGSONREFRACTIONS.NET>

I am trying to setup a WMS/WCS server using mapserver, and right now I
am getting a segfault if I ask for any significantly sized map. Very
small maps seem to come out ok (ie. only a few meters wide and/or only a
few pixels wide).

Following is a (long but hopefully complete) description of my situation:

I'm running on Fedora Core 1 Linux, with gdal-1.2.0 and proj-4.4.8 and I
have mapserver 4.4.1, freshly compiled:
MapServer version 4.4.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF

My mapfile is fairly simple, it looks like this:

I get a segfault - ie. it shows up in the browser as a 500 error, in the
apache log as an "unexpected end of headers", and segfaults on the
command-line.

This request however, succeeds (notice the one-meter sized bbox):
http://kraken/mapserv/mapserv_wcs?map=/home/chodgson/mapfiles/wcs.map&version=1.1.0&request=getmap&layers=DEM&service=WMS&srs=epsg:3005&bbox=250000,250000,250001,250001&height=10&width=10&format=gtiff

The only debug output I'm getting is:
GDAL: GDALOpen(/home/chodgson/mapfiles/wcs/test.tif) succeeds as GTiff.

Can anyone help me out here? Sorry, it's on an internal server so those
urls aren't internet accessible.

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: SLD and other configuration export from ArcMap
Message-ID: <WED.18.MAY.2005.230901.0200.JEROEN.TICHELERFAO.ORG>

Hi all,

Sorry for cross postings.

I have a fairly successful tool that allows one to export an ArcMap
project to an ArcIMS AXL configuration file ( http://
arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=12766 ) .

What I would really like to do with this tool is to allow it to
export configuration files for other map servers. All it needs is
XSLT's to transform the AXL into those files needed, it would
basically be a last additional step in the process after creating the
AXL as a DOM document.

My idea is that it would create SLD files, but eventually also create
full XML documents that contain the metadata as it was described in
ArcCatalog and all configuration details needed for a layer or set of
layers. Such a document can than be inserted into GeoNetwork where it
can be accessed by GeoServer, MapServer etc.. through WCAS 2. The map
servers can than convert the information into their respective
configuration files and start the services from there.

There is for sure some work to be done to reach that stage, but
simply generating SLD, .map files etc could be a first step.

I have the source code of the application available for those
interested in implementing this. It is located at https://
sourceforge.net/projects/arcmaptools/
Unfortunately due to time constraints I have not been able to do much
on the application for a long time, but it runs just fine in ArcMap 8
and 9.

There is one shortcoming to the tool, related to the complexity of
the label rendering in ArcMap and the difference in approach taken by
ArcIMS. Not sure if that would be a severe limitation at this stage.
Someone might want to take it up to also add that part :-)

If you are interested in contributing to this, I am looking forward
to your reply!
Greetings,
Jeroen

Hello,

I am having problems with using a graticule on a polar stereographic
projection. When the map is centered near the north pole all the lat/lon
lines disappear from the center of the image. You can find an example at:

http://www.joss.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/catalog/mapserv?mode=map&layer=GRID&map=/web/catalog/bug/grid_test.map


I'm also seeing spurious straight line segments that parallel the latitude
lines. This site is using mapserver-4.2.3 on SunOS 5.9 sparc SUNW,Ultra-6.
However I see the same problem with mapserver-4.4.2 on linux Mandrake 10.1.
Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Below is the
sample grid_test.map file.

Greetings All,
  I have been banging my head againest the desk now for 2 weeks and all I
have is a lot of frustrution to show for it.  I am sure for some one that
knows what they are doing....it is a pretty easy task.  I feel pretty sure
that after seeing a working example I will pick right up on it.....but I
can not seem to get there. So I am offering $100.00 paypal to the first
one that gives me a working example of an GeoTiff and a raster with Lat
and long display.

I will supply both shots.

I can supply lat and long of the corners for both.

I can supply m/pixel for both.

To take the money I need a working example of both with Lat and Long
displayed from the mouse over.

Payment is yours as soon as I have it running on my server. (Happily I
might add!!!)

All I need is a method of contact.

Dave

Steve,

I'm having more success with my own graticule shapefile than with
MapServer's built-in grid, and I also take care to not extend my
meridians all the way to the pole.  Here's a polar stereographic
example:

Hello again list

Quick question: how can I make use of LoadQuery( )? What does it do? The
only examples I can find are all of the form:

map.loadQuery( filename )
map.drawQuery( )

Is this all you can do with loadQuery( )? Can I access information such as
what layer(s) the query related to? Can I somehow get it populate the
ResultCacheMember object of the layer(s) in which the (saved) query results
were located?

Hi,
the Geo-Consortium has PostgreSQL/PostGIS, MapServer, Mapbender, AMeiN!,
OGC and general SDI development in their curricula. We are planning to
internationalize training as we receive more and more requests from all
over the world. We currently have a fixed timetable for courses in
Germany only.

CCGIS already for years gives trainings, consulting and talks anywhere.
If you get together enough people to pay our horrendous checks you can
get us for a single day or full week to do anything you like. Well -
almost anything...
:-)

Best,
Arnulf Christl.

You'll have to use what is called "templates".
To be simple, a template is a HTML like file in which some variable
parts are parsed by a php code.

Smarty, phpLib or EasyTemplate (http://et.geomaticien.com/) are some
template engines.
You'll find more information and examples on each documentation.

The best reason to use templates (seperate HTML from the php code) is
to get the design and the programming code well seperated. That way
you will easily be able to confide the look of your website to a
designer that don't understand anything to php coding.

And that, in effect, is what Chameleon does for mapserver.  Application
design can be accomplished (and is on a daily basis) by web-savvy
developers with no php knowledge, while the functionality is controlled
by php-mapscript developers with no design sense ;)

Steve,

I am struggling with a related problem for quite a while now
(since 3.6). 
?
Reprojecting lat/lon-data such as shapefiles or WFS-data to 
areas around the poles result in unpredictable 
rendering by mapserver. In our case it is Lambert Azimuthal
Equal Area in polar aspect, but I remember some postings
regarding Orthographic as well. Graticule layers do not 
work as expected for these projections as well and look 
similar to your example.

Parts of the data (or graticule) get 'clipped' by Mapserver
for specific map extents. When zooming to smaller areas 
data and graticule show up. But with mapextents including
the pole(s) things get messed up.

I guess reprojecting itself is not the problem because 
I can use Proj-based utilities to project my data in advance
and they show up just fine. I have the impression that mapserver
- before rendering - decides which features fall outside the
mapextent, discards these features and at this stage is not
always right. Just a guess.

Cheers, Martin

Steve / Martin,

One problem with the automatic graticule generation is that it produces
a single polyline for each complete gridline.  If mapserver fails to
reproject any single point on the polyline, then the whole polyline is
discarded since it cannot be reliably rendered.  This means, for instance,
that if you show a pole, and for reasons of the math the polar location
is not reprojectable, then the whole line of longitude will be discarded.

In the past, I have created actual graticule shapefiles using many small
line segments.  That way you just lose a wee bit of the graticule near
the pole or on the fringes of the reprojectable region. 

I implemented a mkgraticule.py script in GDAL for doing this, if you
would like to try it (gdal/pymod/mkgraticule.py in the source tree). 

Best regards,

Subject: Blank Geotiff
Message-ID: <THU.19.MAY.2005.153116.0100.D.LOWERL.AC.UK>

I've just set up a mapserver WCS  that doesn't seem to want to serve
GeoTiffs...

The WCS is working fine for png/jpeg but whenever I request a Geotiff I
just get back a blank (grey..) screen. 0kb are returned. However I am
sure the GDAL GTiff driver is being recognised as there is no error
message.

i.e.
If I request a "png" I get an image.
If I request a "geotiff" I get a null grey screen.
If I request a "banana" I get an error message.

I've configured GDAL with --with-libtiff=internal and
--with-geotiff=internal. Mapserver is configured --without-tiff (so it
will use the GDAL drivers).

However I have also tried to compile GDAL with external libtiff and
libgeotiff libraries but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the
result..

Output format is declared as:
OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME Geotiff
    DRIVER "GDAL/GTiff"
    MIMETYPE "image/tiff"
    IMAGEMODE BYTE
    EXTENSION "tif"
END

Any thoughts?

Hi Dominic,

I think you definition should be
    OUTPUTFORMAT
        NAME Geotiff
        DRIVER "GDAL/GTiff"
        MIMETYPE "image/tiff"
        IMAGEMODE FLOAT32

since your data is floating point if I remember correctly.

Rhys,

Don't forget saveQuery!  With mapObj.saveQuery(<someRandomFileName>) you can
save a small qry file to disk which is basically a list of record numbers
associated with all the current resultCacheObjs.  In another session you can
reload that query 'state' into your map by using
mapObj.loadQuery(<thatsameRandomFileName>).  You would have to pass the
filename to the user and get it back, obviously, for this to work.  What I
do is generate a random number, say foo, and generate a file called
"temp/qf" + str(foo) + ".qry", but only send foo.  Keep in mind that save
and load work on the mapObj level, so it will save (and load) the cache for
all layers that have one.  Also, it uses the layer index value, so the
layers and the order of the layers in the map needs to be the same between
the load and save.

DrawQuery is only related to the others in that you can only visialize your
query stat by calling a drawQuery() as opposed to draw().

Hope it helps,

Adam

Frank,

I am using your your utility apps really a lot. They save me countless
hours of quirky aml scripting. Thanks!

But although we can do with workarounds or pre-projected data for
the graticule problem, this is not the case with data dynamically retrieved
from a data base or a WFS.

Mapserver has strong evangelists in the academic realm but these institutions
do have a demand for world mapping applications and data-base based
mapserver installations. The issue of reprojecting for world maps in different
aspects - imho - will come up regularly.

Cheers, Martin

Chris, 

I haven't tried to reproduce your problem, but I would strongly encourage
you to update to MapServer 4.6 beta for WCS serving.   A number of
bugs have been fixed in the 4.6 stream. 

Sorry for the non-answer.

Subject: Maximum Raster Image Size?
Message-ID: <THU.19.MAY.2005.112620.0400.GTAYLO2CLEMSON.EDU>

I was wondering what the maximum raster file size is for adding a layer
to be displayed. I have a 260+ Meg file that we want to put a label
shapefile layer on top of. Currently I'm getting a blank white image
back when I add the layer with the .tif and we're wondering if it's
because of the size.

Will mapserver handle 200+ meg raster files? It's not important that the
whole thing is shown at once but we'd like to be able to display some
chunks.

As I mentioned yesterday, there is nothing at all unusual about TIFF
images of that size.  I use tens of thousands of 100MB - 500MB TIFF
images in MapServer every day.

Dave -

Instead of $100, why don't you give us a little more information?

You say you have a "GeoTIFF and a raster" as if they were two different
things.  Do you have two images?  If so, you have two rasters - what
file format is used by each (GeoTIFF is a file format - are they BOTH
GeoTIFF?).

If they are both GeoTIFF, can you run the "listgeo" tool on each and
post the output?  Thanks.

Please realize that a mouseover coordinate display is a DHTML
implementation that runs in the client browser.  Although such front
ends are common with MapServer applications, they're a separate issue
from MapServer itself.  You should treat your project as two separate
pieces - the image display and the coordinate display parts.

to the first one that gives me a working example of an GeoTiff and a

I will supply both shots.

I can supply lat and long of the corners for both.

I can supply m/pixel for both.

To take the money I need a working example of both with Lat and Long
displayed from the mouse over.

Payment is yours as soon as I have it running on my server. (Happily I
might add!!!)

All I need is a method of contact.

Subject: Problems installing PHP Mapscript - HELP!
Message-ID: <THU.19.MAY.2005.170232.0100.LOGICALGENETICSGMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I am currently trying to install php mapscript on a Fedora 2 machine. 
I have done the following...

./configure --with-ogr --with-gdal --with-jpeg --with-proj
--with-php=/usr/include/php/
make
su
cp -f mapserv /var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv40
cp -f mapscript/php3/php_mapscript.so /usr/lib/php4/

And used the following PHP snippet to test it...

<?php
    if (PHP_OS == "WINNT" || PHP_OS == "WIN32")
    {
      dl("php_mapscript.dll");
    }
    else
    {
      dl("php_mapscript.so");
    }
    phpinfo();
?>

The output of phpinfo() is displayed correctly, but the php_mapscript
module is not loaded.  I can confirm this by adding...

extension_loaded("php_mapscript")

... to the script.  I'm using PHP version 4.3.10-2.4.  I haven't
observed any errors when compiling mapserver using the commands above.
 I've also restarted httpd several times using "service httpd
restart".

Here's the output: http://213.210.59.141/php-mapserver-test.php

What have I forgotten?

Cheers,

Dan

Subject: getfeatureinfo and feature_count order
Message-ID: <THU.19.MAY.2005.105020.0600.MHOWARDSPACEIMAGING.COM>

I have a project where I need to limit the number of features returned by getfeatureinfo. I want the set of features returned to be selected by attribute precedence - e.g. most recent, highest score..... The data is in shapefile format with a shptree index. The data is in no particular order. I assume that the getfeatureinfo routine just traverses the index file and stops at record n where n=feature_count. I also assume that the index file is in the same order as the source shapefile; and that one way to get what I want is to build the shapefile in the correct order. So I have four questions:
1. Are my assumptions correct?
2. Is there a way to specify the order of retrieval in the map file- or another simple way with the configuration or URL string?
3. Failing that - is there a way to build an index ordered by feature attribute(s)?
4. Failing that is there a way to re-order a shapefile by feature attributes(s)?
Unfortunately the shapefile is dynamic - we get a new one daily.
TIA for any help!!!!
Mark

Jean David, 

I don't know the real answer to your question, but I will say that the 
imagemap support is quite incomplete.  There are many types of 
features not supported fully or even at all. 

Some work was done on this since 4.4 was released, so you could
try 4.6, but you will likely need to make some improvements to 
mapimagemap.c yourself.

Frank,

I have in the past created my own grid shapefiles. These work fine if you
know ahead of time what your range of map scales will be and your region
of interest. But in my applications I need to support both large scale
views of the entire arctic basin down to small scale views of just a
few kilometers across. Creating shapefiles to support this start to become
a real pain. And they start to get rather large. Having a built-in grid
that automatically does this all for you is - imho - an extemely useful
feature.

Thanks for the pointer to mkgraticule.py. I was not aware this existed.

Thanks,
-Steve

Jean,
This has worked for me in OUTPUTFORMAT:
FORMATOPTION "POLYMOUSEOUT=return out(this);"
FORMATOPTION "POLYMOUSEOVER=return overlib(event,'%s',this);"

Rather than returning a point geometry, return a polygon. For
instance:  select buffer(centroid(the_geom),dist)

I am not sure how I was able to get the desired data into %s. It's
been a couple of months now. I think I controlled it using a sub
select in the sql. I experimented with such things as LABELITEM but
don't recall if it did any good.

But I will share a snippet from my map file:

LAYER
   NAME "cseis"
   CONNECTION "user=bogus password=bogus dbname=mydb"
   CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
   DATA "the_geom from (select oid as oid,
   buffer(simplify(the_geom,.001),.0010, 2) as the_geom, line_id, contractor
   from vw_seismic_2d)
   as cseis USING UNIQUE oid USING SRID=-1"
   Projection "proj=latlong" End
   TYPE polygon
   Class
      Name "cseis"
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
   END
   ##FILTERITEM   ?? No effect ??
   LabelItem "line_id"   ## Not sure if this controlled %s
END

I had one problem using imagemaps. If the result set was empty, my
script crashed.

Hi,
I'm trying to display a tif image in mapserver but am encountering a

export the grid and a RGB tif it works fine in mapserver however, if I
export the image just as a tif the image is blank but it works fine if I
load the image in FWTools.  The reason I a basic tif and not a RGB image is
that I'm trying to preserve the elevation data in the raster image

Here is a sample of my mapfile and the tiffs are already georeferanced.  I'm
running mapserver 4.X and have GDAL


This image displays fine

I'd be interested in playing with this. Do any of you that use tiled

Travis, 

For 16bit DEMs you will likely need to do some sort of scaling.
By default all elevations of 255 or above will be drawn as white.

Try adding the following line to your LAYER definition.  If that helps,
you might want to read up on scaling.  I think it is covered in the
raster howto.

  PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO"

I was getting tired of the original mapserver client so I've run up a
copy of the GDV Client

http://home.lsces.co.uk/Maps/gdvclient/html/viewer.html

Only four raster layers at the moment. Next step is to start doing some
overlays and data layers ;)

I still have the odd bit of German on it, but things are comming. It
works nicely on Mozilla and Firefox - as long as you enable pop-up's

I use imagemagick and gdal_translate to split and build tiles from large
images. Then I build a tile index with gdaltindex. As long as you tile
index layers MIN/MAX scales are set right you get a pretty big
performance gain. However if you're rendering many of the tiles in the
same image it slows down. I create overviews for large scales and
display those and have the tile index only come on at lower scales.

Message-ID: <THU.19.MAY.2005.162129.0700.AARONRECOTRUST.ORG>

Dave,

I have been meaning to put this example out there for a while now.  This
is a php-mapscript based example, so I am not even sure it will help
you.  

Here is a link to a running version on my development server:
http://pearl.ecotrust.org/apps/simple_mapserver/index.phtml

You should be able to plug in your rasters (as long as you have
php-mapscript and it is compiled with GDAL and they are formats
supported by GDAL) to the mapfile following the example here and get
things going.  If you are still having trouble, email the list back and
we will try to help.  Please include more information in your next
posts, including file formats, installation specs, and examples if you
have them

I have made two zip files available at:
http://pearl.ecotrust.org/downloads/

1) simple_mapserver.zip
This file contains a zip of a simple php-mapscript/jBox application.  It
is ~45 meg zip because I included two rasters for the demo, one in tif
format and the other in binary ArcGRID format (80 meg DEM).  It uses
jBox for the rubber band and coordinate mouse over display.  Do the
following to get it going:
- Unzip in an area that is web accessible.
- Edit the global_vars.php file and modify the "APP_PATH" and "HOST_URL"
variables to match your system.
- Edit mapfile/simple_test.map and modify the paths for SHAPEPATH,
SYMBOLSET, FONTSET, and REFERENCE IMAGE.
- The temp directory where all temp files are written is
"/tmp/ms_temp/".  If you want to change that you will need to edit both
simple_test.map and contents.php.
- Install the Java applet jBox as per number 2 below.

2) simple_jbox.zip
This application is hard coded in contents.php to the "/java/jBox"
directory in your web URL.  You either need to unzip the file there, or
change the reference in the APPLET section of contents.php.

Make sure that your permissions are A-OK and you should be good to go.
Other items to note:
- map_functions.php includes "dl('php_mapscript.so');".  Make sure this
matches the name of your Mapscript installation or you will need to
change the name.
- This application uses PHP sessions in a pretty simple way, but uses
them non-the-less.
- One of the downfalls of the simple way sessions are used here is that
after the initial page loading, a temporary mapfile is saved and used
from then on.  If you have an error and modify your base mapfile to fix
it, you either need to use the "logout button" or restart your browser
to get a refresh of the new mapfile.  Not pretty, but it is simple.
- This all assumes php-mapscript compiled with GDAL support and your
rasters are of a supported format.
- Check out all the official docs
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc.html) and supplemental docs on things
like jBox (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/jbox-howto.html) and
php-mapscript
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/phpmapscript-class-guide.html)

Finally, this is just a quick demo cobbled together from some of my
apps, some stuff from DM Solutions, and other code out there.  It is no
where near a final app, but should hopefully do the trick.

Also, if you send me the rasters you are dealing with (email below or
send me a download link) I could try to put them up in this app on my
machine so you can see it work.

I am not interested in your money, but if this satisfies the criteria
for your $100 and it is burning a hole in your wallet, please contact
Steve Lime (steve.lime [at] DNR.STATE.MN.US) and donate the $100 to the
upcoming Open Source GIS conference (or better yet use it to sign up and
attend!).  

Again, reply to the list if you are still having problems...

Greetings All,
  I have been banging my head againest the desk now for 2 weeks and all
I
have is a lot of frustrution to show for it.  I am sure for some one
that
knows what they are doing....it is a pretty easy task.  I feel pretty
sure
that after seeing a working example I will pick right up on it.....but I
can not seem to get there. So I am offering $100.00 paypal to the first
one that gives me a working example of an GeoTiff and a raster with Lat
and long display.

I will supply both shots.

I can supply lat and long of the corners for both.

I can supply m/pixel for both.

To take the money I need a working example of both with Lat and Long
displayed from the mouse over.

Payment is yours as soon as I have it running on my server. (Happily I
might add!!!)

All I need is a method of contact.

Hi,
I download and install MapServer version 4.4.2, and download and install the 
Demo whit de download file name  "workshop.zip" (the most recent demo, I 
think). I'am working whit Apache version 2.0.54. The problem I have, is:

-   when I open the index.html (of the Demo) file and initialize the basic 
option, the browser open the page itasca_basic.html whitout the images 
loaded. The map is not displayed. ?Why?. And when I click on the map space, 
the browser's show a Not Found Page (error 404).?Why?

I install the external libraries: GD (whit the previous install of the 
libraries: freetype, zlib, libpng and jpegV6), libTIFF, libgeoTIFF, PROJ.4, 
GDAL, MING, PDFlib, libCurl and libiconv.
To edit de respective files I read : 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/demo_readme.html 
, but this peaper its little old.

Thank you very much.

Also note that jBox provides dynamic coordinate display. Just set your map file
projection appropriately and you'll get lat/lon. jBox uses client side java
rather than DHTML.

Hello

We have created a testapplication that can be used on ArcIMS and now
MapServer.

Both MapServer and ArcIMS are on the same server (Windows 2000 server)
with the same data (200 MB vectordata in shapefiles).

MapServer is wrapped in a c#/dotnet webservice. The API to the webservice
is ArcXML so both solutions have the same interface.

The testapplication used sex simultaneous clients requested 500 maps each
in total 3000 maps.

RESULTS:

MapServer

Total time: 7.47 min (467 sec 0.1566 sec/map (image), 385 maps/min)

Max delay for a map: 2.93 sec

Min delay for a map: 0.14 sec

Average for a map (with six simultaneous clients): 0.96 sec


ArcIMS

Total time: 12.08 min (728 sec 0.2426 sec/map (image), 247 maps/min)

Max delay for a map: 3.94sec

Min delay for a map: 0.12 sec

Average for a map (with six simultaneous clients): 1,49 sec

My calculations gives that MapServer is about 30% faster when zooming than
ArcIMS

Cheers

Johan

good job! This adds facts to performance 'impressions' one gets visiting

Because I had not found it yet ?
There is a lot of good stuff out there, but it is buried under twice as
many dead ends and bad links. Even the 'Demo Server' link on mapbender
does not seem to do anything :(

Like other people *I* would like a live coordinate display on the
client, jBox put me off because it says 'java' and I have enough fun
with PHP and Javascript after 25 years of C/Pascal/Algol programming :)

The final piece of the jigsaw - I prefer to work in Firebird for SQL
since the last 15 years worth of data are stored there, and we have 5
years 'experience' of 24/7 operation without a single problem. So I need
to be able to get to a point I can add 'FirebirdGIS' ;)
( See
http://home.lsces.co.uk/ibWebAdmin_0_98/FirebirdFederationDataArchive.html
for a source of useful location information :) )

It's still on my todo-list to get rid of the pop-ups. Should not ne much
work either but  I'm not decided  yet where to put the query results.
Currently I think the best place would be within a frame below the
MapFrame. Feel free to let me know what you think. Would be good reason
to do some work on that issue.

Message-ID: <FRI.20.MAY.2005.113155.0200.UDO.MAPSERVERNOVASYS.NET>

Hello everybody. I'm new to this list and have a question I could not
find an anser in the list archives for.

For a Intranet vehicle tracking system (using GPS) I need to display
digital maps. As MapServer is OpenSource, supports many data formats
and even Flash (we're using Macromedia Flash a lot for web
applications) we'd like to use it for this project. However, I am
completely new to the area of GIS/digital maps and have difficulties
finding a source for data maps. They may be commercial if the price is
reasonable.

I tried to contact TeleAtlas, Navteq and others but these companies
seem to be targeted on much larger customers/companies.

So, can anybody give me some advice how to find a MapServer-friendly
source for maps? Right now we would need North Italy but later it
could be we need also maps for Austria, Germany, Switzerland...

Best would be vector maps as our goal is a hugh quality flash
application with vector rendering (but that is not a must).

Many thanks for any replies!
Udo

Hi Udo,

as you need the maps/data for a vehicle tracking system I guess
your main concern are street data . A rival to the companies you
mention are national (may be EU )  mapping or cartographic
agencies.

Here in Germany the price for the data depend on the nominal
scale and the area covered. So it may depend on the level of detail
you want to use and the 'map extent' how much the data cost.

One basis of the success of  TeleAtlas, Navteq, etc is that they provide
a one-stop-shop and seamless coverage. Something you would expect
from the EU administration as well (for EU countries). There is an outfit
called 'eurogeographics' (www.eurogeographics.org) who offer
maps (data) . Click the 'products' tab. The highest resolution I see is
1:250000 and I do not see Italy participating in their data pool.

Even these data come at an prohibitive price level.

Their page on members may be useful to find the respective national
agency you want to contact.

HTH, Martin

Message-ID: <FRI.20.MAY.2005.185749.0800.JACOB.DELFOSMAUNSELL.COM>

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but the spam problem is taking
on worse forms for me. Since I have been on the mapserver (and related)
mailing lists, my e-mail address have been appearing a lot on the
internet, in a completely undisguised way. The amount of spam I receive
has since been rising rapidly. Additionally, my address is being spoofed
lately, such that I occasionally get 100s of bounced messages that I
didn't send, to people to whom it could not be delivered.

I was hoping it might be possible to configure the mailing lists such
that e-mail addresses are disguised (even if it is poorly, by replacing
occurrences of @ with 'at'). I know that I could set up a special
"mailing list" address, but that makes things a lot harder to manage,
and people would still send spam in my name.

My address does not appear anywhere else on the internet, so I am quite
sure that the archives of the mailing lists are the cause. It's not that
I'm trying to complain, just that a small change could save a lot of
people a lot of headaches.

regards,

Jacob

Message-ID: <FRI.20.MAY.2005.065739.0500.JOHAN.E.HALLGRENWMDATA.SE>

Hello

I'm trying to use MapServer with oracle spatial (10.1.0g).

I'm using mapserver-4.6.0-beta1 and I have created a c#-mapscript to
access the map.

Using shp2img and ogrinfo works but it's extremely slow.

When I use the:
imageObj i_obj = oMapObj.draw();
in my c# code I've get the:
"Failed to draw layer named 'layer'"
exception.

I have tried to move the shp2img to the dir where the c#-dll reside and
shp2img works there but not my dll. By doing that I've get the feeling
that the other dll:s (gdal12.dll, libmap.dll, bgd.dll, iconv.dll,
charset.dll) should be correct.

Could it be a problem to reach the oracle-dll from dotnet? I have
given 'everyone' 'full control' to the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.

Any assistance would be great.

Hi,

Some further progress.  I can verify that MapServer is recognizing the

Any suggestions?  Is it possible to do JOIN's in this way and have them

Hello Tom,

I don't think it is possible to do joins this way and access them through
WMS/WFS.

In the past I've asked a similair question whether it is possible to
classify and display a map image based on attributes in the join table by
using the MapServer JOIN.

That is not possible (see bug
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=674).

But maybe doing a join through OGR will work for you (I have not tested this
myself).

OGR SQL supports a limited form of one to one JOIN.

Somehting like:

CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "data/popplace_pt"
DATA "SELECT columns FROM table LEFT JOIN some join statement"

Take a look at the JOIN examples at
http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/ogr/ogr_sql.html

Regards,

Emil

Hi Johan,

I may add that your set up definitely should have favored ArcIMS since the C#/.NET windows platform definitely is not the most user supported platform for MapServer.  

To be on the devils'a advocate side a bit, I wonder if IronPython instead of C# would have made a difference.  I know ArcGIS comes with a Python interpreter (an old 2.1 though) so I wonder how other ESRI products play with Python and how that could be leveraged in IronPython (or CPython, but then you're outside the .NET domain).

Thanx for sharing this experiment with us.

Objet?: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Performance ArcIMS vs MapServer

Hello

We have created a testapplication that can be used on ArcIMS and now
MapServer.

Both MapServer and ArcIMS are on the same server (Windows 2000 server)
with the same data (200 MB vectordata in shapefiles).

MapServer is wrapped in a c#/dotnet webservice. The API to the webservice
is ArcXML so both solutions have the same interface.

The testapplication used sex simultaneous clients requested 500 maps each
in total 3000 maps.

RESULTS:

MapServer

Total time: 7.47 min (467 sec 0.1566 sec/map (image), 385 maps/min)

Max delay for a map: 2.93 sec

Min delay for a map: 0.14 sec

Average for a map (with six simultaneous clients): 0.96 sec


ArcIMS

Total time: 12.08 min (728 sec 0.2426 sec/map (image), 247 maps/min)

Max delay for a map: 3.94sec

Min delay for a map: 0.12 sec

Average for a map (with six simultaneous clients): 1,49 sec

My calculations gives that MapServer is about 30% faster when zooming than
ArcIMS

Cheers

I know this is offtopic, but since this was brought up... it kind of leads
into a question I've had for a while.   Is there any particular reason that
we use an email list instead of like a web forum for this kind of
communication?   It seems like opensource projects like this one tend to use
email lists instead of forums, but it seems to me that there are a lot of
advantages to a web forum such as easier searching and threaded messages, as
well as the ability to post announcements and sticky-note a FAQ would make
it the preferred method.   It would also solve the spam problem as email
addresses can pretty much always be hidden.   I'm not opposed to email of
course, was just a question I  had.

I know this is offtopic, but since this was brought up... it kind of leads
into a question I've had for a while.   Is there any particular reason that
we use an email list instead of like a web forum for this kind of
communication?   It seems like opensource projects like this one tend to use
email lists instead of forums, but it seems to me that there are a lot of
advantages to a web forum such as easier searching and threaded messages, as
well as the ability to post announcements and sticky-note a FAQ would make
it the preferred method.   It would also solve the spam problem as email
addresses can pretty much always be hidden.   I'm not opposed to email of
course, was just a question I  had.

Just as long as they provide an email mirror ;)

email copies are just so much easier to manage, search, tag, and sort.
Something you simply can't do with Newsgroups and many of the web based
forums. At least when an email comes in I know what to do with it. There
are many forums I am supposed to be using, but I just don't bother -it
is too much hassle ;)

Hello,
I would click in a map and have attributes informations about the clicked point.
i must use methods like getmeasureusingpoint(pointObject point) and
getShape(int tileindex, int shapeindex) but my problem is to have connection
between my clicked point and the shape object.
How i can get the "shapeindex" number of my point ?

Sorry for my confused request.

Because I, for one, don't have the time to go to a web page and peruse
the various discussions?  I can efficiently see the topics, file
interesting "stuff" away for later use or reference, and delete the
trivia.  Going to a web page and sorting through all this is tiresome at
best and looks to me like a waste of time.

Personal opinions.  But that'd be my vote if it comes to one.  The list,
as a monolith, in fact, and not subdivided into a whole bunch of
separate sublists.

The SOBER virus has made a comeback.  It's one of the many that raids an
affected Microsoft user's Outlook address book and starts forging e-mail
from oh, so many folks.  Ove the last 3 or so days, I've gotten bounce
notices from no fewer than 100 different messages I've supposedly
sent... from a Unix account that can receive, but not send, e-mail.  Oh,
and it's an account I usually don't publicize, becuase my main account
has better filter capabilities.

It'd be a reasonable idea to reconfigure the list to hide e-mail
addresses, but unlikely to significantly reduce your exposure in this
case, if you've e-mails more than, say, yourself.

The virus thing is really getting out of control again, and Microsoft
admins (and those of us who have to handle major campus network traffic,
and Unix domains, too) have to spend a lot of time cleaning up the cruft
as a result.

SO: While it's very possible that someone is harvesting this list's
traffic for launching spam, it's as likely... or more so... that someone
you correspond with has a compromised Windows system, likely unpatched,
and doesn't know they're the originator of thousands of spurious e-mail
operations a day.  In your name.

Gerry

HI Philippe,
I suspect that your map's projection and units settings are not complete.
It might be trying its best to make the scalebar, but will look at those
settings to figure it out.  Do you set map units or map projection in your
code or map file?  Post it so we can see.

Can anyone give me an example of using a reference map with a mercator
projection?  I've managed to get reference maps working well with
unprojected maps of the world, but I'm having problems with projected
reference maps.

I'd be interested in seeing mapfiles and any associated
code/images/stuff.  May maps need to display the entire world.

Mehdi,

The first step is to translate from pixel coordinates to real-coordinates.
The you can query your shape(s) using the picked point.

Philippe,

What does 'file /var/www/htdocs/miam/tmp/regions.png' show for the file
format? (should report png)
&
What does 'ls -l /var/www/htdocs/miam/tmp/regions.png' show for file
permissions & directory permissions in the path to the image? (should be
readable for 'other' for files & readable+execute for 'other' for
directories)

It might help to describe the problem better and maybe even show us
what's on line 161 of monscript.php (and the code around that line)
cause all we know now is your doing something wrong.

To me it seems that msImageLoadGD() can't find or read your regions.png.
Does it exist? Does your web server have read access to it?

Lester,

if you search at Sourceforge for 'MapServer' you will find at least 2 PHP/Mapscript client packages, like p.mapper and Musmap.

John -

I agree about emails - I don't think I'm going to check the forum several times a day to see if something's there.  And I'm not going to "watch" a topic if I don't even know it exists!

I've actually configured a nice combination solution,  it is the phpBB forum
with the m2f (mail2forum) addon mod.    It allows forum users, if they
choose, to have all posts emailed to them... they can then reply to the
posts or to create a new post they can email the post  to the forum and it
will be posted on their behalf.   It's a very nice hybrid solution....
people who like forums go to the forum,  and to people who like email better
it's pretty much indistinguishable from any other email list.

The freeware version of the discus web forum can email posts to 'watched'
topics.  There may be others which do the same.  Much as I like the
structure of a nice web forum, if I don't get emailed the posts, I'll never
read them.

Hi,
    The beta1 version don't work correctly with Oracle Spatial using the
native driver, this problem was solved in CVS and beta2 version.
    Can you try with the last version?
    Thanks.

Actually you get 18 projects - but many of them can be ignored - at
least p.mapper has some activity :)

Musmap is on my - not able to run list as it's restricted on database
support ;)
That is the same, I've now found, as mapbender - which only supports
MySQL in the released version.

If p.mapper will install I'll have a third possible selection working
over the weekend :) At least replacing PEARdb with ADOdb is not
difficult, then I can link to all the rest of the CMS system!

Mapsurfer is also on the list to get running.

At this rate I'll have a nice comparison site working :)

OK I went for wms_europe -> blank, then wms_world -> blank so I gave up

The comment was ment to be general, but I was running mapbender on the

I can't run Mapbender at all at present, so I would need to replace the
database, and IF I find some time over the weekend ...
*MY* end target is a module to work with tikipro, which can be used to
display graphical data linked to the rest of the content.

Having been involved with a few projects that HAD to replace MySQL for
something more stable I can probably list many of them. I standardised
on ADOdb some time ago, and porting to that handles a number of them,
then you end up re-writing the database script to something 'practical' !

And not reading German ... I could not see any restrictions ;)
I'm heading down the route of free access historical data from out of
copyright material, so the client should be accessible to 'novice' users.

My framework is Apache/PHP/Firebird which is what I promote, and I'm
looking to augment that with a similarly licence GIS system. I do need
to keep an eye on licences, but it is difficult if you can't read them !

Since I have already paid for the Ordnance Survey with my taxes, the
data should be freely available - and I should not have to pay increased
council tax so my council/county can pay to get it again. So ESRI are
not on MY list of possible partners!

Hi,
i am the project admin and most of the time i have a bad feeling for
promoting Mapbender everywhere because the worst thing you can do is be
a pain in the ass by producing spam.

We already infested SourceForge, maptools.org, berlios platforms and
MapServer, Chameleon, OpenSDI, FreeGIS, OpenGeoDB, Geowanking user
mailing lists, Wikipedia and Mediawiki and have it referenced at the
OGC. Mapbender is up and running under the GPL for almost 2 years now.
Where else do you propose to promote new Free Software projects? We cant
afford TV commercials although i believe that could be really funny.

Works fine for me using FireFox (though newer versions are bad crashers
:-( ), MS IE and Opera (new version) on Windows 2000/3 XP, Ubuntu,
FreeBSD, Debian, Mandrake/driva, SuSE. Tell me whats wrong & we have a
look into it.
Xenu reports not one dead end on Mapbender.org. All Mapbender interfaces
on this site are in constant state of flux - conceded. This is not a
productive environment but a place to show, learn, experiment and
discuss. Go to the gallery to find some productive environments or google.

Want the coordinates like it is done here:
http://wms1.ccgis.de/mapbender2/frames/login.php?name=mb&password=mb&mb_user_myGui=gui
Newest feature there: the precision of the selected coordinate reflects
on the scale you are working in. The further you zoom in, the more
precision you get. Nice feature we missed on most clients so far and you
badly need it for online editing, measuring and digitizing.

Does that mean you would want to extend Mapbender to use FireBird as
admin database? You are welcome - go ahead. Need access to the CVS,
prove yourself and ask for it.

We are currently implementing a wrapper for PostgreSQL (our favorite DB)
and it presents us with problems not anticipated (something that never
happens to any developer ever) and will keep us busy for a few more days.

>> Some examples:

> Better than the 'Demo Server' ;)

Would be great if you could point us to what exactly is not working
fine. This demo shows a lot more than just OGC WMS maps, you can
dynamically search, load and highlight postcodes as GML - something we
were quite proud of until you said its no good...

:-)

Just out of interest:
If the GDV client is the "GDV Mapserver Client" promoted on
http://www.gdv-gis.de/ then it is freeware, not Open Source. We already
had some discussions about this...

GDV-MapBuilder is proprietary (and has nothing in common with the Free
MapBuilder WFS-T JavaScript client shipped with GeoServer - something
you might want to have a look at too).

WARNING: personal POV!
In our opinion everybody using Free Software *and* building a business
model on top should also promote it. Not only the top 1% freeware client
but the underlying 99% architecture with MapServer, operating system,
web server, spatial database...

WARNING: business model
If you are ESRI partner you should *not* promote any Open Source *ever*
because else you will be thrown out of the partner program. Examples abound.

Subject: Mapscript Java API on Mac OS X
Message-ID: <FRI.20.MAY.2005.214316.0400.RICKINNIS.CA>

Has anyone actually successfully built and run mapscript/java on Mac OS
X?

I can build it, with a little manipulation of the makefile
(substituting "-bundle" for "-shared" in the mapscript_so target, and
passing RUNPATHS='-liconv' on the command line to get around the error
"ld: ../../libmap.a(mapgd.o) illegal reference to symbol: _libiconv
defined in indirectly referenced dynamic library
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib")

However, when I run "make test" I get this exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
new_shapefileObj
         at edu.umn.gis.mapscript.mapscriptJNI.new_shapefileObj(Native
Method)
         at
edu.umn.gis.mapscript.shapefileObj.<init>(shapefileObj.java:75)
         at DumpShp.main(DumpShp.java:40)

I'm at a loss to explain this - I know that the native code library is
being loaded, but it seems that it's not finding the symbols for the
function calls. I'd love to hear from anyone who might have any insight
into this.

For a client we are interested in possibily using ArcWeb for background

pretty straightforward?

Just thought I ask before I embark on the task.  Note the main reason
for ESRI is better geocoder and street information.  We know how to
do that with public data on mapserver.

Subject: Clients vs. Environments
Message-ID: <SAT.21.MAY.2005.074004.0100.LESTERLSCES.CO.UK>

OK Guys and Gals

I have an environment that I am more than happy with, and am using to
provide systems that pay the bills. It is based around Apache2, PHP5 and
Firebird, and runs on Windows or Linux servers depending on the
customer. The main 'profitable area' is client management facility for
public offices (government/council/housing etc.) and we are 'treading
water' against the competition who offer Oracle or MSSQL based systems
in sites that do not have that sort of money ;)

*I* am looking for a Mapserver CLIENT that I can add to this environment
to provide access to map type information from within the framework I
already have working. Mapserver can provide the sorts of display I want,
and I can create the maps I need from a number of sources - some of
which are commercial, but for which the customers have already
contracted to use.

A number of alternative options have already been highlighted, and these
give more or less what I need to provide a user interface, but none are
'the answer'.

SO the question before I spend another week playing with more options on
doing this - between updates to my other systems. Are there any options
that I have missed that are not - limited to MySQL or other single
database requirements - do not support cross platform development - can
be used licence free - do not require an overcoat of non-GIS tools.

Here is the list so far:-

Original itasca demo interface - simple but limited - it works

MapBrowser - display functions similar to demo
           - no cursor or rubber band
( Nice as part of MapLab and useful for editing but more an environment
than a stand alone client )

Chameleon - another environment package? - not implemented locally

MapClient - Needs a bit more investigation, not got working fully yet

MapDesk - Useful for playing with map files but not a client

MapSurfer - Have not got a map to load yet :(

jBox - Performs reasonably, but put off by possible need to support Java
        Yes I know I don't need to build it, but I like to be able to!

GDV Client - Demo gives me everything I want except the coordinate display.

Mapbender - Client looks nice but currently buried in a MySQL only
environment

p.mapper - Looking good, but I need to get my test set in
Only thing I'm missing is the cross-hair but that is not a show stopper

Musmap - Requires a database I do not use to run

So as you can see I have been through quite a gammit of options -
missing from this list is all the editing tools I have also had a play with!

I'm going to spend some time over the weekend putting my test maps into
p.mapper, and trying to get at the Mapbender Client, but is there
anything major that I have missed and 'should really have a look at'.
This is only secondary to my main development work so I don't want to
spend too much more time 'sticking the pin in'! I need to hammer in a
nail and go with something :)

Congratulation. It's a good and useful job.
I assume you used shapefile data for your test.
Do you know if there is a significant difference with mapinfo .tab files ?

Message-ID: <SAT.21.MAY.2005.105102.0200.MARGOTTIDCOMUNE.LUGO.RA.IT>

Hi list,
with CGI mode=ITEMQUERYMAP I can produce a map with one highlighted
feature (defined using QITEM, QLAYER and QSTRING).

How can I highlight more than one feature (within the same layer) using
the same syntax (QITEM + QLAYER + QSTRING)?
Is there the possibility to use an "OR condition" or a regular
expression in QSTRING parameter?

Thank you,
    Daniele

I have gotten MapSurfer to work fine, and for what it is, it works well.
It basically is a frames-based Map viewer that displays locally hosted
mapfiles via the CGI Mapserver interface.  Personally, I find it hard to
extend, as all of the logic is embedded in DHTML/Javascript.  The only
part that I couldn't get to work was the reference map (but that's
certainly because I didn't care about it.)

It is an excellent testbed for playing with mapfiles while I develop the
rest of my site.

For a more integrated system, I am also looking at a component framework,
and am playing with Chameleon and p.mapper.  I don't have enough
experience with either to provide input here.

If you want to see MapSurfer, email me and I'll get you a
username/password to my testbed site.

I've been trying to install Chameleon for a few days,

the install documentation appears to be incomplete and
inaccurate. Does anyone have a complete procedure for
installing Chameleon?

I considered trying MapLab instead, but the site says
that it has a known problem with PHP > 4.3.9

Any suggestions? Any comparable open-source

Looking at it to see what I am doing wrong is giving me the same
impression.

I've four of them so far, and now adding a couple more ;)

p.mapper is looking higher up the list at the moment. Once I get the
IsleofMan maps running in it I can compare performance, but the code
looks quite nice - so far!

I think I'll pass at present, unless I feel like adding it to the my
comparison set, in which case I may take you up just to see how it
should look :)

Gregor,

first of all, this kind of question can be better addressed at the
Chameleon user list.

If you use MS4W installing Chameleon is a piece of cake actually. Running
your own Apache server you have to be a bit more advanced (but it is still
very much doable), and running under IIS even a bit more advanced.

Please note that Chameleon is not a map editing product, it is more a
publishing product to publish data in flexible web mapping applications
based on templates. Maplab does serve the map editing purpose.

For Map editing you could also use QGIS and export as MAP file, but I
don't know if your solution needs to be web-based. Also, QGIS can't open a
MAP file.

Best regards,
Bart

What are you using as a client application? Mapserver is just a server.
Are you using something like the Itasca demo?

Try looking in the javascript window of Firefox (Tools->Javascript
console), this probably has something to do with a javscript error.

Make your querystring a regular expression like:

  qstring=/a|b|c/

would highlite objects 'a', 'b', and 'c'. Also be sure to put your template
definition in the HEADER, not in the TEMPLATE. If you put it in TEMPLATE, you'll
get three maps, but by putting it on HEADER, all three objects will be highlited
on the same map.

There is a known problem with Mozilla-based browsers (the problem is in
Mozilla, not MapServer) that causes this when the source of an image is
changed after the page has loaded.  The application is likely working
just fine.

I have define the projection in the server in the map

I've had the same problem in Firefox and Mozilla, using a

modifications. The progress bar looks active, the swirling browser icon
(in Firefox) keeps going around, and when you move the cursor over a
part of the browser other than the page, the cursor turns to the waiting
cursor. I haven't found the exact source of the error; I gave up a while

Hello

I'm now installing MapServer 4.4.2 with phpMapScript, and
encounter troubles in drawing maps. When configuring without
phpMapScript, sample demos (itasca.map or tutorials) work
fine, but configuring with phpMapScript(--with-php option),
following error message shown in execution time.
----------------------------------------------------
adMap(): Unable to access file.
----------------------------------------------------
Any advices are much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Take also a look at http://maplink.sourceforge.net/

But if you want the avanced query and editing tools you've to use PostgreSQL with the PostGIS extension installed for spatial data store.

OK Guys and Gals

I have an environment that I am more than happy with, and am using to
provide systems that pay the bills. It is based around Apache2, PHP5 and
Firebird, and runs on Windows or Linux servers depending on the
customer. The main 'profitable area' is client management facility for
public offices (government/council/housing etc.) and we are 'treading
water' against the competition who offer Oracle or MSSQL based systems
in sites that do not have that sort of money  ;)

*I* am looking for a Mapserver CLIENT that I can add to this environment
to provide access to map type information from within the framework I
already have working. Mapserver can provide the sorts of display I want,
and I can create the maps I need from a number of sources - some of
which are commercial, but for which the customers have already
contracted to use.

A number of alternative options have already been highlighted, and these
give more or less what I need to provide a user interface, but none are
'the answer'.

SO the question before I spend another week playing with more options on
doing this - between updates to my other systems. Are there any options
that I have missed that are not - limited to MySQL or other single
database requirements - do not support cross platform development - can
be used licence free - do not require an overcoat of non-GIS tools.

Here is the list so far:-

Original itasca demo interface - simple but limited - it works

MapBrowser - display functions similar to demo
           - no cursor or rubber band
( Nice as part of MapLab and useful for editing but more an environment
than a stand alone client )

Chameleon - another environment package? - not implemented locally

MapClient - Needs a bit more investigation, not got working fully yet

MapDesk - Useful for playing with map files but not a client

MapSurfer - Have not got a map to load yet  :(

jBox - Performs reasonably, but put off by possible need to support Java
        Yes I know I don't need to build it, but I like to be able to!

GDV Client - Demo gives me everything I want except the coordinate display.

Mapbender - Client looks nice but currently buried in a MySQL only
environment

p.mapper - Looking good, but I need to get my test set in
Only thing I'm missing is the cross-hair but that is not a show stopper

Musmap - Requires a database I do not use to run

So as you can see I have been through quite a gammit of options -
missing from this list is all the editing tools I have also had a play with!

I'm going to spend some time over the weekend putting my test maps into
p.mapper, and trying to get at the Mapbender Client, but is there
anything major that I have missed and 'should really have a look at'.
This is only secondary to my main development work so I don't want to
spend too much more time 'sticking the pin in'! I need to hammer in a
nail and go with something  :)

No thanks - I don't use PostgeSQL ;)
I know that is going to be restricting, but I do not intend getting
stuck with a database engine specific solution - We need an SQLGIS
option in place of PostGIS :(

PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL", which
of cause is an open standard. You'll be stuck on some proprietary technology
if you use files like ESRI shape or MapInfo tab or on other spatial enabled
database technology like ERSI SDE or Oracle Spatial (which also cost a lot
of money). But the thing is that it?s only for PostGreSQL you can get a
SFSQL extension - yet

Why don't you try any generic wms viewer? Just configure mapserver as an wms 
server and use any generic wms client. 

Have you tried http://www.wmsviewer.com/ ?

Hello frank,

I am still fighting to have mysql support using OGR..

the "funny" thing is that each time I run

ogrinfo -ro -al -so
'MYSQL:database=abruzzo,tablename=zzz,user=arit,password=arit,host=localhost,port:3306'

I get this message:

Warning 1: 'tablename=zzz' in MYSQL datasource
definition not recognised and ignored.
Warning 1: 'port:3306' in MYSQL datasource definition
not recognised and ignored.
ERROR 1: MySQL connect failed for:
database=abruzzo,tablename=zzz,user=arit,password=arit,host=localhost,port:3306
Unknown database 'database=abruzzo'
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource
`MYSQL:database=abruzzo,tablename=zzz,user=arit,password=arit,host=localhost,port:3306'
with the following drivers.
  -> ESRI Shapefile
  -> UK .NTF
  -> SDTS
  -> TIGER
  -> S57
  -> MapInfo File
  -> DGN
  -> VRT
  -> AVCBin
  -> REC
  -> Memory
  -> CSV
  -> GML
  -> MySQL

And all the database, table, user... exist.

Also if I try

ogrinfo --formats

I get:

Loaded OGR Format Drivers:
  -> "ESRI Shapefile" (read/write)
  -> "UK .NTF" (readonly)
  -> "SDTS" (readonly)
  -> "TIGER" (read/write)
  -> "S57" (read/write)
  -> "MapInfo File" (read/write)
  -> "DGN" (read/write)

  -> "REC" (readonly)
  -> "Memory" (read/write)
  -> "CSV" (read/write)
  -> "GML" (read/write)
  -> "MySQL" (readonly)

witch would make me think that the driver for mysql is
working..

So far I have:

1 configured GDAL --with-ogr --with-mysql
2 make (GDAL)
3 make install (GDAL)
4 Configured mapserver --with-OGR --with-php
5 Make (mapserver)

could you please give a clue on could be wrong?

Thank you again..

Best regards,

joao

Do you already have a working example of a php mapscript application?  Or are you starting from scratch?  Do you have a .map file you can show us?

In the Itasca example data set the configuration file stores temporary

remove files that were last modified a minute or more again? Or is there

Your port setting looks wrong.  You have:
port:3306
it should be:
port=3306

The warning above tells you this is part of the problem.   Hope that helps.

from : http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptRH72
there is :

Setup MapServer IMAGEDIR and cleanup script
  $ sudo mkdir /tmp/ms_tmp
  $ sudo chmod 777 /tmp/ms_tmp
... also add the commands above to /etc/rc.d/rc.local as well to recreate the 
directory when the system reboots, after a /tmp cleanup... 
... create a logical link for the ms_tmp directory on the web server 
  $ cd /var/www/html
  $ ln -s /tmp/ms_tmp ms_tmp
 ... create "/etc/cron.daily/ms_clear_tmp.sh" ... you can also place the file 
in /etc/cron.hourly/ for busier sites... 
 #! /bin/sh
 #
 # MapServer temporary file cleanup - run daily by cron
 #
 # Flush all files from /tmp/ms_tmp older than 6 hours (360 minutes)
 #
 find /tmp/ms_tmp -name "*.*" -amin +360 -exec rm -f {} \;
 exit 0

Adapting it to your file tree, this should do the job.

Joao, 

I see the documentation was wrong.  The table name list parameter
is actually tables=, not tablename=.  I have corrected the docs online.

Also, your port specifier should be port=n, not port:n. 

And finally you don't use database=, just make the database name
the first argument.  Try instead something like:
  
ogrinfo -ro -al -so
'MYSQL:abruzzo,tables=zzz,user=arit,password=arit,host=localhost,port=3306'
  
Good luck,

Yes it was wrong but that is not the answer.. I keep
getting those messages even after correcting it..

so, now after executing this:

 ogrinfo -ro -al -so
'MYSQL:database=abruzzo,tablename=zzz,user=arit,password=arit,host=localhost,port=3306'

I get this:

Warning 1: 'tablename=zzz' in MYSQL datasource

Hello,

I have a little trouble in using Mapserver. I want mix datas

Is it possible with mapserver? I have read on the FAQ it's
not, because the projection unit must be the same as the
projected data.

Thanks for the help.

Mapserver does projections on the fly for each layer.
In the MAP section you specify the projection that you want the output to be
displayed in.   In each layer you specify the layer projection.    These can
be any projection and they will be reprojected to the output projection on
the fly when the map is generated.

Hi,

I guess you're using 256 color output so the rgb image is mapped to 256
colors. Switching to rgb output should solve the problem. Put something
like this in your mapfile

IMAGETYPE PNGRGB
OUTPUTFORMAT
 NAME PNGRGB
 DRIVER "GD/PNG"
 IMAGEMODE RGB
 TRANSPARENT OFF
END

Wolfgang, 

You are suffering from classic color reduction to 8bit degredation. 
The normal fix is to switch to returning JPEG instead of gif/png8 images. 
Other options include turning on dithering, or returning PNG24.

This is covered in this FAQ:
  http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/EightBitColorCompression

I know I've said this before, but...

The easiest way to clean up all of the temporary images is to never
generate them in the first place, IMHO.

Just use the CGI feature of Mapserver along with the MODE=MAP cgi variable
setting to have MapServer spit out just a raw map image straight to the
browser.

You can then use regular HTML and/or Javascript to write the page that
will feature the map image.

This method writes no temp images to the servers drive, so there's nothing
to delete.  And best of all, it allows you to reload just the map image
(not the whole HTML page) when browsing, zooming, or querying.

I have a simple example set up at http://www.houseclick.com/map.htm

You can view the source code and see how easy it is...

You can avoid their browser check accessing:

I use Firefox 1.0.3 on Mandrake Linux and wmsviewer works pretty well.

You can try other wms clients. Just search for "javascript wms client" or

Hi list,
with CGI mode=ITEMQUERYMAP I can produce a map with one highlighted feature (defined using QITEM, QLAYER and QSTRING).
 
How can I highlight more than one feature (within the same layer) using the same syntax (QITEM + QLAYER + QSTRING)?
Is there the possibility to use an "OR condition" or a regular expression in QSTRING parameter?
 
Thank you,

I just run a scheduled task which is a batch file that deletes all the
files. It runs a midnight, so anybody working at that time might see a
problem.
I really must get round to writing a program that just deletes anything
over x hours old so that it is not so violent with files that have just
been created ;)

I don't know how your application is setup, but another option is to
create a dummy layer in your map file to use for highlighting a feature.

 

LAYER # Dummy Parcels Polygon Layer to Highlight it yellow

    NAME parcel_poly

    DATA Parcels

    MAXSCALE 200000

    STATUS DEFAULT

    TYPE LINE

    CLASSITEM 'PIN'

    CLASS

            NAME "Parcel Selected"

            EXPRESSION '%PIN%'

      COLOR 255 255 0

      SYMBOL 'circle'

      SIZE 4

    END

  END # Dummy Parcels Polygon Layer to Highlight it yellow

 

Then use some javascript in your web page to create an expression and
pass the variable to the CGI (example
"/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&PIN=pin=17000003443001%20or%20pin=1700000
345494") and it will substitute the PIN variable name in the mapfile
with the value you passed in with the call to the CGI.  The expression
can contain "and" and "or" in it.

 

This is explained a bit in
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#variablesubsti
tution documentation.

        Hi list,

        with CGI mode=ITEMQUERYMAP I can produce a map with one
highlighted feature (defined using QITEM, QLAYER and QSTRING).

         

        How can I highlight more than one feature (within the same
layer) using the same syntax (QITEM + QLAYER + QSTRING)?

        Is there the possibility to use an "OR condition" or a regular
expression in QSTRING parameter?

         

        Thank you,

            Daniele

Dave,

Check out:

http://pearl.ecotrust.org/apps/simple_mapserver/index.phtml

I have added your two data layers to the example I made for you and
shifted the extent to view those layers.  I am using the tiff version of
both rasters, as I don't have any experience getting HDF working with
Mapserver.  I made a world file for the Bathymetry layer since it did
not have any geo-referencing info in the image.  You will need this to
tell Mapserver (and GDAL) where this image is and what the resolution
is.  I have copied in the Mapfile and .tfw file below for your
reference.  Let me know if this helps.  I will leave it to others for
help on the HDF file format and defining that layer with Mapserver and
GDAL.

Greetings Aaron,
  Thank you for your help.  It is most kind of you to share your work
with 
me.  I worked with it for a while today.  After an hour or so of messing

with it.....I think that my OS is what is causing the problems.  A week

pretty good setup for folks like me with limited Linux experience.

Subject: Color Interpretation band problem
Message-ID: <MON.23.MAY.2005.212601.0100.NBARKERRSINC.COM>

Hi,

I have a problem with the way that GDAL interprets the colour interpretation of a TIF file.

If the colour interpretation is RGBA  e.g
Band 1 Block=320x1 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Red
Band 2 Block=320x1 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Green
Band 3 Block=320x1 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Blue
Band 4 Block=320x1 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Alpha

then everything works fine and (in my case) all 27 bands are returned with the correct data in
each band

If, however, the color interpretation is Gray, e.g.
Band 1 Block=96x8 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Gray
Band 2 Block=96x8 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Undefined
Band 3 Block=96x8 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Undefined
Band 4 Block=96x8 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Undefined

Then the first band is returned ok, but the rest of the bands are blank!

I can't easily change the colour mode of my tif files (I am using JAI), does anyone know a workaround,
I have to serve the tifs as Float32

Thanks,

Norman Barker

Hi all,

Is it possible to perform a query on data that is connected through an

Is it possible that I'm doing something wrong here?
I use the ovf to connect to a dbf, and the points are visible on my map,

Message-ID: <TUE.24.MAY.2005.104011.1000.RHYSIOMNILINK.COM.AU>

Hi List,

Is the following an undocumented feature or a bug?

I had Mapscript code which looked something like:

layer = map.getLayerByName( name )
layer.open( )

for( i = 0; i < points.length(); ++i ){

    if( layer.queryByPoint( points[i], MS_SINGLE, 0 ) ){
        result = layer.getResult( 0 )
        shp = layer.getShape( result.tileindex, result.shapeindex )
        info = shp.values
        }
    }

layer.close( )

But kept getting the MapServer errors to the effect "layer has not been
opened" on the call to layer.getShape( ). Playing with it, I found that the
following code gave the functionality I was after:

layer = map.getLayerByName( name )

for( i = 0; i < points.length(); ++i ){

    if( layer.queryByPoint( points[i], MS_SINGLE, 0 ) ){
        layer.open( )
        result = layer.getResult( 0 )
        shp = layer.getShape( result.tileindex, result.shapeindex )
        info = shp.values
        layer.close( ) // possibly redundant
        }
    }

This leads me to believe that each call to layer.queryByPoint( ) is having
the effect of layer.close( ). So - bug or feature?

Regards,

Rhys

I'm using esri shape files. Read the cities dbf file using php dbf
functions and provied select box with the
cities to choose from and used the index of the selected city to get the
shape. Then i have drawn the shape.
But it doesn't draw. so i use zoompoint php mapscript function to pan, but
then very few of them show up.
I used the bounds of the shape to calculate the mid point and passed it
into the zoompoint function.
but probably the mapserver is not calculating the extents right.

I'm using phpmapscript 4.2 and following are my code, can anyone help
please.

The map i'm trying to use is for the state of California.
Initial extent of the map is: -118.0 33.0 -117.0 34.0

/***************************/
$record=dbase_get_record_with_names($dbCities,$i);
$dbPlaceName=trim($record["AREANAME"]);
$dbClass=trim($record["CLASS"]);
$dbStFips=trim($record["STFIPS"]);
if(strcmp(trim($dbPlaceName),$selCity)==0 && strcmp(trim($dbClass),"city")
==0 && strcmp($dbStFips,$stFips)==0)
{
  echo "CITY RECORD FOUND<br>";
  $placeLayer=$map->getLayerByName("Cities");
  $placeLayer->open();
  $shape=$placeLayer->getShape(-1,$i-1);
  echo "<br>DB CITY = ".$shape->values["AREANAME"];
  $shape->draw($map,$placeLayer,$map->draw());
  $bounds=$shape->bounds;
  $ptX=$bounds->maxx;
  $ptY=$bounds->maxy;


  $extent_to_set = explode(" ",$_POST["extent"]);
  $my_extent = ms_newrectObj();
  $my_extent->setextent($extent_to_set[0],$extent_to_set[1],$extent_to_set
[2],$extent_to_set[3]);

  $map->zoompoint(1,$my_point,$map->width,$map->height,$my_extent);

  /***************************/

Also i'm trying to use the streets shape file which contains around 5 lac
data and mapserver fails or php fails,
execution timeout exception is thrown, any help to get around this problem.

Thanks!

Subject: ECW vs. JPG2000 on Linux?
Message-ID: <TUE.24.MAY.2005.020351.0400.BILLBINKO.NET>

Hello, everyone

I have a choice between ECW and JPEG 2000 for a set of DOQQ files.  I am
running CVS Mapserver and GDAL, and Mandrake Linux 10.1.

Could anyone give me direction to which would be better?  Also, the
original source files are available in GEOTiff format, and they have two
versions, 8 bit and 16 bit.  Is there any reason to grab the raw files, if
I'm serving them up over the web as PNGs anyway?  The raw files are of
course much much larger (>250GB), and I think I'll have to compress them
anyway.

I have to make a decision by Wednesday morning EST, so any input would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

PS: Frank, I remember you gave me an anwer of ECW, but I had not mentioned
Linux, so I want to double check.

Subject: Display progress bar while waiting for data
Message-ID: <TUE.24.MAY.2005.120808.0200.DEJAN.GAMBINPULA.HR>

Thanks everybody participating in the discussion of displaying progress
bar. I am aware of the problem but just want to describe something that
is happening on my site. 

I have a set of 18 GeoTIFF ortophoto color images, each one has a size
of 80MB. I have created tileindex shapefile to increase performance in
reading the data and I have informed the users they should first have to
zoom onto desired extent on the map and activate the ortophoto layer
after that to speed up the loading. But users are just users and many of
them are trying to activate the ortophoto layer before that (while the
map is in full view) so the loading is slow.

I have put a "Loading" message but the point is the following: when I
load the image on the local network, I get the "Loading" message and I
have to wait about 30 seconds, then the image is displayed at once. On
the slow connection I also get "loading" message displayed about 30
seconds and then the map is displayed incrementally (that is ok). So my
problem is those 30 seconds (that can arise to several minutes regarding
the number of simultaneous users of course). Can I do something?

Thanks, Dejan

Dejan -

I'll second Frank's scepticism here.  Most of the "Image Loading"
animations you see on mapping sites are just that - animations.  They're
standalone animated GIFs and the like which cause pixels to twinkle on
the user's screen but which have no relationship to the actual progress
of the application.  The server could burst into flames and the "Image
Loading" graphic would keep dancing.

The site Regina mentions falls into this category.  IMHO, these kinds of
graphics are primarily used to try to cover up slow map servers, and not
to give users meaningful progress feedback.

I think by far the best feedback mechanism for image load time is the
map image itself.  If you simply display the image in a format that
browsers can easily render incrementally, then the user can see the
image begin to appear and will get a good feel for how long it will take
just by watching it.  JPEG is NOT a good choice for this, but GIF and
PNG images should render properly on most browsers.

For example, look at this image:

http://www.topozone.com/images/MtMonadnockTopo.gif

Over a slow connection.  You should see the large map image load
incrementally, so you know things are working.  If the image were
smaller and in a frame (to define the final output size) it would be
relatively easy to assess how much progress is being made.

Subject: Square Resolutions
Message-ID: <TUE.24.MAY.2005.112718.0100.NBARKERRSINC.COM>

Hi,

yesterday I posted a bug about colour interpretation of tif files, having written JAI code to change all my
grayscale images to RGBA I have found that the bug is to do with square resolutions (so resx=resy)!!.

If the resolutions are not square then all the bands of the tif file are returned but only the
first band has data, and the other bands are blank.

If the resolutions are made square in the WCS request all the bands are returned, and all bands have data.

Is this a known bug, or is there a workaround?  Personally (though I would say this!), this is critical to me
since my original data in the main have different resolutions in X and Y, and the I would like to maintain the
ratios in X and Y.

Many thanks,

Norman Barker

Look at the gdaladdo documentation to start.  It will let you resample

Subject: TrueColor Maplayer from GRASS to Mapserver?
Message-ID: <TUE.24.MAY.2005.142855.0200.VORTEX25GMX.DE>

Hello!

I have a Rastermap in GRASS which i would like to export
and display with the Mapserver. It consists of
3 RGB component layers.
I put them together with r.composite and export it
with r.out.gdal. With type=Byte i get an indexed
Geotiff of 255 Colors. This can be displayed by
Mapserver. Since i want more Colors i tried
type=UInt16. Mapserver can't display this
GeoTiff-File (The file seems to be ok, since qgis can
display it properly using the same libgdal as i think).

Is this a general Issue? Can Mapserver only display
indexed BYTE Images?

Well, i tried to convert it with pct2rgb.py to an
3-band RGB Geotiff. I got an error there:

NameError: global name 'UnsignedInt32' is not defined

I thought it should do no harm if i remove this line,
but i'm not sure. At least the result can't be displayed
with mapserver nor with qgis. Even more strange: The
outline of the solid black output map does not fit
exactly at the old outline and seems to be reprojected!

Since pct2rgb.py seems unuseable at the moment i
wonder if it is possible to export the RGB-GeoTIFF
directly from Grass? r.out.gdal does it with gdal_translate
which should be able to process more than one band. But it
looks like the result of r.composite is
indexed itself already! I suppose the three RGB
component Maps should be feed to gdal_translate
directly. But how?

Thank you very much!
Klaus

You could also prevent your aerial layer from being available at full zoom
out by setting the MAXSCALE property of the aerial layer.

images to lower resolution versions ONCE rather than doing it on the fly for
every map request.

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Display progress bar while waiting for
data

Thanks everybody participating in the discussion of displaying progress bar.
I am aware of the problem but just want to describe something that is
happening on my site.

I have a set of 18 GeoTIFF ortophoto color images, each one has a size of
80MB. I have created tileindex shapefile to increase performance in reading
the data and I have informed the users they should first have to zoom onto
desired extent on the map and activate the ortophoto layer after that to
speed up the loading. But users are just users and many of them are trying
to activate the ortophoto layer before that (while the map is in full view)
so the loading is slow.

I have put a "Loading" message but the point is the following: when I load
the image on the local network, I get the "Loading" message and I have to
wait about 30 seconds, then the image is displayed at once. On the slow
connection I also get "loading" message displayed about 30 seconds and then
the map is displayed incrementally (that is ok). So my problem is those 30
seconds (that can arise to several minutes regarding the number of
simultaneous users of course). Can I do something?

Thanks, Dejan

Dejan -

I'll second Frank's scepticism here.  Most of the "Image Loading" animations
you see on mapping sites are just that - animations.  They're standalone
animated GIFs and the like which cause pixels to twinkle on the user's
screen but which have no relationship to the actual progress of the
application.  The server could burst into flames and the "Image Loading"
graphic would keep dancing.

The site Regina mentions falls into this category.  IMHO, these kinds of
graphics are primarily used to try to cover up slow map servers, and not to
give users meaningful progress feedback.

I think by far the best feedback mechanism for image load time is the map
image itself.  If you simply display the image in a format that browsers can
easily render incrementally, then the user can see the image begin to appear
and will get a good feel for how long it will take just by watching it.
JPEG is NOT a good choice for this, but GIF and PNG images should render
properly on most browsers.

For example, look at this image:

http://www.topozone.com/images/MtMonadnockTopo.gif

Over a slow connection.  You should see the large map image load
incrementally, so you know things are working.  If the image were smaller
and in a frame (to define the final output size) it would be relatively easy
to assess how much progress is being made.

Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for raster
data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format that some
users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if I can show
them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to wait so they
know and they can wait or cancel the process.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

thanks very much

Dejan -

You should be willing to apply overviews quite generously.  If you have
a single 80 MB image, a 2X overview (half the resolution) will require
20 MB more space, and a 4X overview will require 5 MB on top of that, so
you will increase your storage from 80 MB to 105 MB.  Adding 8x, 16x,
32x, 64x, AND 128x overviews (probably more than you need) will, in
total, only add 2 MB more space and will provide fast display for those
very "zoomed out" views.

Thanks to all specially to Ed. I have created overviews of my GeoTIFF
files with gdaladdo. Now I am using combination of tileindex and
overviews and the layer is displayed at the full view much faster. I
think that is it and I can't do anything more than this except
increasing the bandwidth of my server and my users of course...

Thanks very much

Dejan -

Have you created "overviews" with GDAL, or created other resampled,
lower-resolution copies of your images to be used when the view is
zoomed out?  That's the first thing you should do, in order to fix the
performance problem rather than try to display an animated advertisement
for it!

Look at the gdaladdo documentation to start.  It will let you resample

David,

there is the UMN user map with mainly german speaking umn users on - you
also  may include this one as wms:

if you zoom out, you'll also find the rest of the world ... feel free to
locate yourself ;-)

Is there a way to get the colour-table information into the mapfile?
What is the best way to integrate GRID-files into mapserver-maps? Do I
need the "info" folder (created by ArcView) on the webserver for
displaying the rasterfile correctly?

Thanks again.

Subject: OGR connection for LINUX
Message-ID: <TUE.24.MAY.2005.165627.0100.BLUETUNA_GOES_SKYINGYAHOO.CO.UK>

Hello Frank

sorry to be back on this subject but I could not
achieve my final goal yet..

I recall that my final goal is to make thematic maps
using an external updatable mysql table. This table
was fetched using an OGR connection to an ODBC in
windows environment but now I exported all my
application to LINUX so I am trying to access my mysql
table directly from OGR compiled with MySQL support.

OGR was compiled with MySQL support and it is working
properly after your  directions. I run:

 ogrinfo -ro
"/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/abruzzo/maps/data" -sql
"SELECT Id,FIELD  FROM comuni_abruzzo_gb LEFT JOIN
'MySQL:abruzzo,user=rt,password=rt,host=localhost'.zzz
ON comuni_abruzzo_gb.Id = zzz.ID1"

and a list of the atributes of the joined tables comes
out as well as the coordinates that define the
polygons.
Now I put that code in my map file like this:

 CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
 CONNECTION
"/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/abruzzo/maps/data"
 DATA "SELECT Id,FIELD FROM comuni_abruzzo_gb LEFT
JOIN
'MYSQL:abruzzo,user=rt,password=rt,host=localhost'.zzz
ON comuni_abruzzo_gb.Id=zzz.ID1"

but I keep getting this error

 Warning: [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to
draw layer named 'comuni'.  in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/abruzzo/_l_test_mysql.php on
line 117

 Warning: [MapServer Error]: msOGRLayerOpen(): OGR
support is not available. in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/abruzzo/_l_test_mysql.php on
line 117

 Fatal error: Call to a member function on a
non-object in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/abruzzo/_l_test_mysql.php on
line 118

even though I compiled mapserver using this:

 ./configure --with-php=/usr/local/php_nnn
--with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config

and everything went fine..

... so I do not understand what's going on here..

... phpmapscript is working fine as well as all the
rest concerning the mapserver cgi... I just seem to be
not able to implement this OGR connection..

thank you so much for your pacience

regards

joao

James,
 I use the method you mentioned, 'MODE=MAP', to generate snapshots for query 
results. It works great to highlight each individual item returned by a map 
query, placed next each item's attributes.
 However, Since mapserver 4 and later have come out, often the images fail 
despite the log statement of 'normal execution'.
 I have simplified the maps as much as possible, and I'm sure that its not a 
lingering syntax difference between 3.6 (where it worked great) and 4 or 
later. The failures are not consistant either. Why they don't either all 
work or all fail, or at least all the same features queried fail 
consistantly? I have no idea.
 So I'm leary about suggesting people use MODE=MAP for all their maps just 
to keep their temp folder's empty, especially when a simple .bat file can be 
used to empty them regularly.

Ken -
 
If you are trying to serve multiple simultaneous requests, with
everything competing to write and then read files from the temp
directory, the disk I/O to that drive can become a serious bottleneck.
If heavy usage is not a concern, then this may be a non-issue.
 
I have never seen failures due to MODE=MAP (rather than being caused by
something else) and I've used it about a billion times (literally <g>).
I would be leery of blaming failures on MODE=MAP without some diagnosis
about the cause.

Hi David,
We have a virtual user group via a regional-focused MapServer mailing list: http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-west
The region of focus is western America.  It's not just for MapServer talk, of course, but for general discussion as well.

We've got representation from Alaska to New Mexico.  Since we know that "west" is a relative term, we invite anyone who feels they fit the bill :)  We intend to have regional face-to-face meetups within the group, as we get to know where each other is at.

Hope that's what you are looking for.

Hi Wolfgang,
Do you need to keep the data in GRID format?
I have had coloured tiff images that 'lost' the colours.  Someone introduced me to the pct2rgb.py Python script (part of FWTools) that solved the problem, but I was converting TIFF->TIFF and don't know how (or if) this could work with GRIDs.  It looks to me like the colour info. may be lost already though, since no colours are listed from gdalinfo.  Hmm...I'm beyond my expertise here.

Hope that might help.

Hello Map Server Listserv,

I have a question on projection.  I understand the definition and concept of
projections.  But, how do you know what to use?  I don't quite grasp the idea
of how to choose the variables to put into the projection object.

Ryan -
 
The example MAP file you give seems (at a quick look) OK if all your
input data is in the same projection.  The only way you know what
projections to use is by knowing your source data.  Some source formats,
like GeoTIFF, will have projection information embedded in them.
Others, like your shapefiles, usually do not - you need to know what you
have.
 
Do you think all your data is in the same projection?  What does the
listgeo command tell you when you use it to dump the metadata from the
basin_alb.tif file?
 
I'm going to guess that your raster image is in the Albers or other
projection, and your shapefiles are in unprojected geographic
coordinates.

Hi Ed,
 I had thought the failures might be due to overloading our 'Boat Anchor' 
brand webserver, but the failures happen whether its one or a dozen 
snapshots being generated. Our websites do not handle much volume as they 
are focused to a small group of specific private users.
 That being said, we are switching over to a new webserver, with a separate 
new computer as a PostGIS database server, and saying goodbye to the P3 era. 
Hopefully the new hardware will help, at the very least its going to speed 
up our websites a lot, if not I'll dive back into the URL's that generate 
the snapshots.
 Cheers,
Ken

I've just set up mapserver 4.4 on my linux box, because I wanted to play
around with mapscript and postgis. When I send an incomplete request a very
basic mapfile
(http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/www/data/test.map?request=GetCapabilities"
I do not receive the WMS error message
 i get the message ".: Unable to access file. tSymbol()".
Can anybody tell me, what this means?
An empty request to .../cgi-bin/mapserv displays correctly:
"No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty."

mapserv configuration:

MapServer version 4.4.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS

Any hint appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Ed. I am just curious to learn where can I find some elementary
informations about overviews and levels, for example to know the file
size stuff you mentioned? And how exactly MapServer uses overviews
automatically without doing anything in map file? If the storage space
is not the problem, how can I know how much levels do I need to create
to get the best performance? What is the upper limit? 16? 32? 64? Can
you give me some usefull links where I can learn all that?

Thanks very much

Dejan -

You should be willing to apply overviews quite generously.  If you have
a single 80 MB image, a 2X overview (half the resolution) will require
20 MB more space, and a 4X overview will require 5 MB on top of that, so
you will increase your storage from 80 MB to 105 MB.  Adding 8x, 16x,
32x, 64x, AND 128x overviews (probably more than you need) will, in
total, only add 2 MB more space and will provide fast display for those
very "zoomed out" views.

Thanks to all specially to Ed. I have created overviews of my GeoTIFF
files with gdaladdo. Now I am using combination of tileindex and
overviews and the layer is displayed at the full view much faster. I
think that is it and I can't do anything more than this except
increasing the bandwidth of my server and my users of course...

Thanks very much

Dejan -

Have you created "overviews" with GDAL, or created other resampled,
lower-resolution copies of your images to be used when the view is
zoomed out?  That's the first thing you should do, in order to fix the
performance problem rather than try to display an animated advertisement
for it!

Look at the gdaladdo documentation to start.  It will let you resample
the images to lower resolution versions ONCE rather than doing it on the
fly for every map request.

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Display progress bar while waiting

Thanks everybody participating in the discussion of displaying progress
bar. I am aware of the problem but just want to describe something that
is happening on my site.

I have a set of 18 GeoTIFF ortophoto color images, each one has a size
of 80MB. I have created tileindex shapefile to increase performance in
reading the data and I have informed the users they should first have to
zoom onto desired extent on the map and activate the ortophoto layer
after that to speed up the loading. But users are just users and many of
them are trying to activate the ortophoto layer before that (while the
map is in full view) so the loading is slow.

I have put a "Loading" message but the point is the following: when I
load the image on the local network, I get the "Loading" message and I
have to wait about 30 seconds, then the image is displayed at once. On
the slow connection I also get "loading" message displayed about 30
seconds and then the map is displayed incrementally (that is ok). So my
problem is those 30 seconds (that can arise to several minutes regarding
the number of simultaneous users of course). Can I do something?

Thanks, Dejan

Dejan -

I'll second Frank's scepticism here.  Most of the "Image Loading"
animations you see on mapping sites are just that - animations.  They're
standalone animated GIFs and the like which cause pixels to twinkle on
the user's screen but which have no relationship to the actual progress
of the application.  The server could burst into flames and the "Image
Loading" graphic would keep dancing.

The site Regina mentions falls into this category.  IMHO, these kinds of
graphics are primarily used to try to cover up slow map servers, and not
to give users meaningful progress feedback.

I think by far the best feedback mechanism for image load time is the
map image itself.  If you simply display the image in a format that
browsers can easily render incrementally, then the user can see the
image begin to appear and will get a good feel for how long it will take
just by watching it.  JPEG is NOT a good choice for this, but GIF and
PNG images should render properly on most browsers.

For example, look at this image:

http://www.topozone.com/images/MtMonadnockTopo.gif

Over a slow connection.  You should see the large map image load
incrementally, so you know things are working.  If the image were
smaller and in a frame (to define the final output size) it would be
relatively easy to assess how much progress is being made.

Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for
raster data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format
that some users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if
I can show them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to
wait so they know and they can wait or cancel the process.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

thanks very much

I am using JavaMapscript with Tomcat and developed the following class to
do the automated cleaning for me:

to execute you simple write:

new Thread(new Cleaner()).start()

The temp file path and clean interval (in milliseconds; every 12 hours) is
loaded from my configuration file. Modifying the code to not delete files
that have been created in the last couple or minutes or so, should be
fairly easy to implement:

package au.edu.qpsf.ocis;

import java.io.*;
/**
 *
 * @author Daniel Caldeweyher
 */
public class Cleaner implements Runnable {
    private String tempPath;
    private volatile boolean active;

    public void run() {
        this.active = true;
        while(active) {
            OpenCIS ocis = OpenCIS.getInstance();
            tempPath = ocis.getConfigParameter("imagepath");
            long waitInterval = Long.parseLong(ocis.getConfigParameter
("cleanup-interval"));

            File tempDir = new File(tempPath);
            if(tempDir.exists() && tempDir.isDirectory() && tempDir.canWrite
()) {
                System.out.println("Start cleanup: " +
tempDir.getAbsolutePath());
                File[] files = tempDir.listFiles();
                int numFilesDeleted = 0;
                for(File f : files) {
                    if(f.canWrite()) {
                        f.delete();
                        numFilesDeleted++;
                    }
                }
                System.out.println("Deleted " + numFilesDeleted + " temp
files, could not delete " + (files.length - numFilesDeleted) + " files.");
            }

            try { Thread.sleep(waitInterval);
            } catch (InterruptedException ie) { active = false; }
        }

    }

    public void stopCleaner() {
        active = false;
    }

    public String getTempPath() {
        return tempPath;
    }

    public void setTempPath(String tempPath) {
        this.tempPath = tempPath;
    }
}

This solution will work on any operating system, including windows which is
missing cron jobs.

Windows does have scheduled tasks which you can use to run any kind of
program, including batch scripts and so on.

Subject: WMS and reprojection
Message-ID: <WED.25.MAY.2005.114003.0200.VINCENT.DACOLLAPOSTE.NET>

Hi everybody,

I'm a student and I'm disovering the world of Mapserver and
interoperabillity.

I'm trying to use 2 WMS services in different projections, and
one client to display two layer from that server.

But the reprojection didn't work in the client. The 2 layer
obtain with the 2 WMS server aren't display in the same
projection.

The projection of my WMS server 1 is "init=epsg:27571"
The projection of my WMS server 2 is "init=epsg:27582"

This two server can serv :
"wms_srs"      "EPSG:27582 EPSG:27571"

The projection I want to display with the client is
"init=epsg:27582"

When I use the 2 layers in local, there is no supperposition
problem, the picture obtain was fine, the reprojection work.

But with the WMS client, the first layer is in it's own
projection, and the second too. So the 2 layer arn't
supperposed, it seem there is no reprojection.

Is-it a reprojection probleme?

My opignon is that a single mapfile with multiple connections
to different WMS server must only connect to server who are in
the same projection.

Maybe I'm wrong, I really new to Mapserver, but I have spend a
lot of time one this probleme, and the only solution I have
find the solve it is to use the same output projection in the
client and in the WMS server.

But this solution isn't very logical for me. I want to connect
to a server who use is own projection, and can serve data in
other predefined EPSG projection. So a WMS client use a WMS
layer has a local layer, with is own projection output, and is
abble to reproject the data obtain in the WMS layer.


Thanks for the help (I really need it).

Hello Tyler,
I was able to assign color definitions to the mapfile by adding this to
the mapfile
"CLASSITEM "[pixel]"
                CLASS
                        EXPRESSION ([pixel]< 1700)
                        COLOR 215 15 215
                END"

However, I wonder, if this is the best way to do it. My problem is that
I do have color definitions in ArcView (avl-legend), but I do not know
how to put this information into the mapfile - is there a way to do it
(something like a color lookup table)?

Thanks again.

Wolfgang

Someone introduced me to the pct2rgb.py Python script (part of FWTools) that solved the problem, but I was converting TIFF->TIFF and don't know how (or if) this could work with GRIDs.  It looks to me like the colour info. may be lost already though, since no colours are listed from gdalinfo.  Hmm...I'm beyond my expertise here.

p://devgeo.cciw.ca/ms_tmp/wqm_loc.cml

1./ If you check out the WMC doc (http://devgeo.cciw.ca/) you'll see
that all layers have a Layer/@hidden value of 0, which means they should
be visible.  However it appears that one must explicitly call these
layers via LAYERS in the CGI URL, i.e.:

http://devgeo.cciw.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv/mapserv?map=/usr/local/wwwsites/ap
ache/devgeo.cciw.ca/apps/mapserv/apps/basicviewer/config.map&context=htt
p://devgeo.cciw.ca/ms_tmp/wqm_loc.cml&layers=wa_7.5m&

I can see why this is the case, however I would imagine it would be more
intuitive if, when no LAYERS parameters are set, to return the WMC as it
was intended to be viewed?

2./ How does the WMC get marshalled in CGI mode?  i.e. I'm trying to use
the HTML legend approach to build a legend.  I'd like to pick up the
LegendURL, MetadataURL and Title from the Layer element to populate the
legend.

At any rate, kudos to the developers for adding this functionality,
which allows for a *very* light standards-based client.

Cheers

..Tom

Hi Wolfgang,

there is no such thing as a colour table in Mapserver or GDAL AFAIK.

You can however try to automatically generate your CLASS definitions from Arcview (I am assuming you are using Arcview 3.x) for instance with Gix.

http://gix.sourceforge.net

If your data  and its classification is very stable you could consider using OpenEV to print a new Geotiff which has the classification already in the image.

Best regards,
Bart

Hi,
 
having now been using the MapServer WCS for quite a while now, I would like to list a few problems I have had (which
I am happy to help fix if given some pointers), and also to ask who else is using the WCS and for what, and where!
 
The main problems we have had are;
 
1) When ResX and ResY are not equal the getCoverage returns the first band and the other bands are blank
2) Anything involving reprojection of data fails, I have initialised the projection object in the layer, and set the output
map projection but still failure.
 
The reason for me asking is that we find the WCS to be very useful (more so than the WMS) if you have a thick client
doing analysis on the retrieved data, and we would like to assess the risks of using MapServer,and to find a way to minimise 
these (as in committing our time to a WCS project to reduce this).
 
Many thanks,
 
Norman Barker

So a WMS client use a WMS layer has a local layer, with is own projection output, and is abble to reproject the data obtain in the WMS layer.


Thanks for the help (I really need it).

Dejan -

The first thing you need to do is understand your own application.  Do
you limit how far users can zoom out on the map?  If so, there's no
point in creating overviews beyond that point.  If not, perhaps you
should do so, or decide to ignore any performance problems when users
zoom out too far (if it's not useful, they're not likely to do it very
often, and it's probably not important).

TIFF overviews are a GDAL construct, and it is GDAL that knows how to
handle and use them.  TIFF files can contain multiple "pages", a concept
originally intended for multi-page documents like faxes.  GDAL uses
these pages to create multiple copies of the same image at different
resolutions, all inside one file.  So the MAP file or TILEINDEX just
refers to the one file, and GDAL determines - based on the requested
output image resolution - the overview that is closest to the requested
resolution without being less than it.  That is the image used for
resampling.

You can get the best possible peformance by constraining the map view
scale to a list of specific values (with zoom scale radiobuttons or a
menu) and then creating overviews to exactly match those output scales.
Then you can be sure that no resampling will ever happen.

Thanks Ed. I am just curious to learn where can I find some elementary
informations about overviews and levels, for example to know the file
size stuff you mentioned? And how exactly MapServer uses overviews
automatically without doing anything in map file? If the storage space
is not the problem, how can I know how much levels do I need to create
to get the best performance? What is the upper limit? 16? 32? 64? Can
you give me some usefull links where I can learn all that?

Thanks very much

Dejan -

You should be willing to apply overviews quite generously.  If you have
a single 80 MB image, a 2X overview (half the resolution) will require
20 MB more space, and a 4X overview will require 5 MB on top of that, so
you will increase your storage from 80 MB to 105 MB.  Adding 8x, 16x,
32x, 64x, AND 128x overviews (probably more than you need) will, in
total, only add 2 MB more space and will provide fast display for those
very "zoomed out" views.

Thanks to all specially to Ed. I have created overviews of my GeoTIFF
files with gdaladdo. Now I am using combination of tileindex and
overviews and the layer is displayed at the full view much faster. I
think that is it and I can't do anything more than this except
increasing the bandwidth of my server and my users of course...

Have you created "overviews" with GDAL, or created other resampled,
lower-resolution copies of your images to be used when the view is
zoomed out?  That's the first thing you should do, in order to fix the
performance problem rather than try to display an animated advertisement
for it!

Look at the gdaladdo documentation to start.  It will let you resample
the images to lower resolution versions ONCE rather than doing it on the
fly for every map request.

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Display progress bar while waiting

Thanks everybody participating in the discussion of displaying progress
bar. I am aware of the problem but just want to describe something that
is happening on my site. 

I have a set of 18 GeoTIFF ortophoto color images, each one has a size
of 80MB. I have created tileindex shapefile to increase performance in
reading the data and I have informed the users they should first have to
zoom onto desired extent on the map and activate the ortophoto layer
after that to speed up the loading. But users are just users and many of
them are trying to activate the ortophoto layer before that (while the
map is in full view) so the loading is slow.

I have put a "Loading" message but the point is the following: when I
load the image on the local network, I get the "Loading" message and I
have to wait about 30 seconds, then the image is displayed at once. On
the slow connection I also get "loading" message displayed about 30
seconds and then the map is displayed incrementally (that is ok). So my
problem is those 30 seconds (that can arise to several minutes regarding
the number of simultaneous users of course). Can I do something?

Thanks, Dejan

I'll second Frank's scepticism here.  Most of the "Image Loading"
animations you see on mapping sites are just that - animations.  They're
standalone animated GIFs and the like which cause pixels to twinkle on
the user's screen but which have no relationship to the actual progress
of the application.  The server could burst into flames and the "Image
Loading" graphic would keep dancing.

The site Regina mentions falls into this category.  IMHO, these kinds of
graphics are primarily used to try to cover up slow map servers, and not
to give users meaningful progress feedback.

I think by far the best feedback mechanism for image load time is the
map image itself.  If you simply display the image in a format that
browsers can easily render incrementally, then the user can see the
image begin to appear and will get a good feel for how long it will take
just by watching it.  JPEG is NOT a good choice for this, but GIF and
PNG images should render properly on most browsers.

For example, look at this image:

http://www.topozone.com/images/MtMonadnockTopo.gif

Over a slow connection.  You should see the large map image load
incrementally, so you know things are working.  If the image were
smaller and in a frame (to define the final output size) it would be
relatively easy to assess how much progress is being made.

Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for
raster data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format
that some users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if
I can show them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to
wait so they know and they can wait or cancel the process.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

thanks very much

OK thanks, you helped me very much. The thing is that I could not find
much informations about overviews untill I noticed it is called
"pyramids". Can you just tell me where do I set the output image
resolution? There is RESOLUTION mapo file parameter but it only affects
scale computations (as documentation says)? Or it is just the matter of
map size parameter?

Thanks very much

Mapserver does support WMS GetFeatureInfo.

AFAIK, MapInfo WMS client does *NOT* support GetFeatureInfo.

So what you want would not be possible. But if you want to be sure, ask MapInfo if they support WMS GetFeatureInfo by now.

How can I ensure that I limit the security risks involved with running
MapServer on my webserver?  I am running Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Mapserver
on a Windows server.  Would I be more secure using a Linux server?

Hi (again) Vincent, 

If you have a look to epsg file contained in proj 4.4.9 package :
# NTF (Paris) / Lambert zone II

+towgs84=-168,-60,320,0,0,0,0 +pm=paris +units=m +no_defs  <>

Looks the same ... If you look to Lambert II Etendu (ie. France II)
parameters
http://www.ign.fr/telechargement/education/fiches/geodesie/projections.pdf
It seems that for Lambert II zone 27572, y_0 should be 200000 and lon_0, 0 ?
And for France II lon_0 should be 0 ! Anyone using French coordinate systems
having the same troubles ?

I'm currently using these parameters for France II.
<27582> +proj=lcc +lat_1=46.8 +lat_0=46.8 +lon_0=0 +k_0=0.99987742

Any ideas ?

Dejan -

Look at the GDAL documentation for the gdaladdo utility to find out
about building overviews.  That is a feature that's entirely internal to
GDAL, not MapServer.

The MapServer map file MINSCALE and MAXSCALE settings are used to limit
the minimum and maximum view scales permitted for that map file.  Your
own user interface can constrain the scale values to specific settings.
For example, on TopoZone you can look at this map:

http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=44.9225&lon=-115.92167

And you can use the View Scale menu on the left to change the "zoom
level" or scale at which the map is viewed.  The menu interface limits
the View Scale not only to a minimum and maximum value, but also
constrains it to be one of the 11 choices displayed.

OK thanks, you helped me very much. The thing is that I could not find
much informations about overviews untill I noticed it is called
"pyramids". Can you just tell me where do I set the output image
resolution? There is RESOLUTION mapo file parameter but it only affects
scale computations (as documentation says)? Or it is just the matter of
map size parameter?

Thanks very much

Dejan -

The first thing you need to do is understand your own application.  Do
you limit how far users can zoom out on the map?  If so, there's no
point in creating overviews beyond that point.  If not, perhaps you
should do so, or decide to ignore any performance problems when users
zoom out too far (if it's not useful, they're not likely to do it very
often, and it's probably not important).

TIFF overviews are a GDAL construct, and it is GDAL that knows how to
handle and use them.  TIFF files can contain multiple "pages", a concept
originally intended for multi-page documents like faxes.  GDAL uses
these pages to create multiple copies of the same image at different
resolutions, all inside one file.  So the MAP file or TILEINDEX just
refers to the one file, and GDAL determines - based on the requested
output image resolution - the overview that is closest to the requested
resolution without being less than it.  That is the image used for
resampling.

You can get the best possible peformance by constraining the map view
scale to a list of specific values (with zoom scale radiobuttons or a
menu) and then creating overviews to exactly match those output scales.
Then you can be sure that no resampling will ever happen.

Thanks Ed. I am just curious to learn where can I find some elementary
informations about overviews and levels, for example to know the file
size stuff you mentioned? And how exactly MapServer uses overviews
automatically without doing anything in map file? If the storage space
is not the problem, how can I know how much levels do I need to create
to get the best performance? What is the upper limit? 16? 32? 64? Can
you give me some usefull links where I can learn all that?

Thanks very much

Dejan -

You should be willing to apply overviews quite generously.  If you have
a single 80 MB image, a 2X overview (half the resolution) will require
20 MB more space, and a 4X overview will require 5 MB on top of that, so
you will increase your storage from 80 MB to 105 MB.  Adding 8x, 16x,
32x, 64x, AND 128x overviews (probably more than you need) will, in
total, only add 2 MB more space and will provide fast display for those
very "zoomed out" views.

Thanks to all specially to Ed. I have created overviews of my GeoTIFF
files with gdaladdo. Now I am using combination of tileindex and
overviews and the layer is displayed at the full view much faster. I
think that is it and I can't do anything more than this except
increasing the bandwidth of my server and my users of course...

Thanks very much

Have you created "overviews" with GDAL, or created other resampled,
lower-resolution copies of your images to be used when the view is
zoomed out?  That's the first thing you should do, in order to fix the
performance problem rather than try to display an animated advertisement
for it!

Look at the gdaladdo documentation to start.  It will let you resample
the images to lower resolution versions ONCE rather than doing it on the
fly for every map request.

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Display progress bar while waiting

Thanks everybody participating in the discussion of displaying progress
bar. I am aware of the problem but just want to describe something that
is happening on my site. 

I have a set of 18 GeoTIFF ortophoto color images, each one has a size
of 80MB. I have created tileindex shapefile to increase performance in
reading the data and I have informed the users they should first have to
zoom onto desired extent on the map and activate the ortophoto layer
after that to speed up the loading. But users are just users and many of
them are trying to activate the ortophoto layer before that (while the
map is in full view) so the loading is slow.

I have put a "Loading" message but the point is the following: when I
load the image on the local network, I get the "Loading" message and I
have to wait about 30 seconds, then the image is displayed at once. On
the slow connection I also get "loading" message displayed about 30
seconds and then the map is displayed incrementally (that is ok). So my
problem is those 30 seconds (that can arise to several minutes regarding
the number of simultaneous users of course). Can I do something?

Thanks, Dejan

Dejan -

I'll second Frank's scepticism here.  Most of the "Image Loading"
animations you see on mapping sites are just that - animations.  They're
standalone animated GIFs and the like which cause pixels to twinkle on
the user's screen but which have no relationship to the actual progress
of the application.  The server could burst into flames and the "Image
Loading" graphic would keep dancing.

The site Regina mentions falls into this category.  IMHO, these kinds of
graphics are primarily used to try to cover up slow map servers, and not
to give users meaningful progress feedback.

I think by far the best feedback mechanism for image load time is the
map image itself.  If you simply display the image in a format that
browsers can easily render incrementally, then the user can see the
image begin to appear and will get a good feel for how long it will take
just by watching it.  JPEG is NOT a good choice for this, but GIF and
PNG images should render properly on most browsers.

For example, look at this image:

http://www.topozone.com/images/MtMonadnockTopo.gif

Over a slow connection.  You should see the large map image load
incrementally, so you know things are working.  If the image were
smaller and in a frame (to define the final output size) it would be
relatively easy to assess how much progress is being made.

Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for
raster data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format
that some users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if
I can show them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

This means you have to install the PROJ files and point Mapserver to it

I think as long as you're behind a hardware firewall that only allows
port 80 to your webserver, you should be fine either way.  While I
think Apache is far more secure than IIS, I doubt there's too much
difference between Apache on Windows vs Apache on Linux.

If you're really concerned, I'm sure there are a number of sites on
the web that can lead you to informationg about locking down Apache on
Windows.

I agree with Camden about a hardware firewall. There
are many exploits against Windows itself, and a
hardware firewall really reduces those.

Now that you're behind a firewall, you probably wanted
to know about the security of Mapserver, Apache, PHP,
and so on because those are what's listening on port
80.

Sadly, it is true that these packages do have security
issues - Apache has bugs, PHP has holes, etc.
Fortunately, they fix them and release newer versions.
So check the Apache and PHP websites often and see if
there's a newer version, especially if it says "this
release fixes a security issue..."

The same goes for anything else you have that listens
on the Net, e.g. database servers. If you're not using
a firewall, or if your firewall does allow the DB to
be accessed from the Net, then the same goes for those
packages as well: check for updates, cuz bugs do get
found.

Are you working in CGI or mapScript? Are you doing a one-to-one or a 
one-to-many join? For one-to-many in CGI you use the name of the join to
retreive the fields. Following are some notes from a thread on one-to-many joins
that might help:

Paul: The JOIN template is just about like any other query tempate except that
it can only contain replacement strings for the columns present in the joined
table. So, if dres010.dbf
contains the fields d_site_id, date and comments then the template:

  <li> Record [D_SITE_ID] ([DATE]): [COMMENTS]<br>

Will print a formatted line for each lab report for the well. The templates can
also contain javascript that might be used to build a collection of js objects
that could be used to do rudimentatry analysis, populate a graphing applet or
whatever. Join header and footers can be used to add opening and closing tag
sequences around a set of joined results. For example, to center the above
example use a header containing "<center>" and a footer containing "</center>".
In general join templates are real small (couple of bytes) files.

The main query template need to contain a substitution telling the server where
to place the multiple join results. So if you have a join called
"labjoin" then in
results.html you'd need a line:

[labjoin]

in the place where the results are supposed to go. Note the reference to the
join (i.e. [labjoin]) needs to sit by itself on a line due to the
complexity of the
replacement. Actually, any other code on the line will be lost so comments
would be ok.

Processing for an individual results QUERY goes like this.

1) QUERY template is processed
2) if [joinname] is found then the JOIN templates are processed: header,
template (multiple times), and finally the footer
3) processing continues on QUERY template

of course all of this can be sandwiched between LAYER header and footers, and
WEB header and footers to create
some very complex output.

Hello,

I've been trying, with only partial success, to get a shapefile
connected to an external dbf with a one-to-many join.  When clicking on
a well on a map, I would like all lab records for that well (contained
in dres010.dbf) to display.  

The join works, but when a well is clicked the template results.html
only shows info for the last matching record from dres010 for that
well.  I imagine this has something to do with the join template
otmjoin.html, which should be processed once for each record according
to the docs, but otmjoin.html is currently empty since I'm not quite
sure what should be in there.

Subject: New MapServer Website (beta)
Message-ID: <WED.25.MAY.2005.193444.0500.HOBUIASTATE.EDU>

All,

I am pleased to announce the beta release of the new MapServer
website.  The site is located at <http://ms.gis.umn.edu>.

I, Kari Guerts, the mapserver-docs team, and the developers have been
working to develop a site that streamlines documentation development,
allows through-the-web editing (but not a free-for-all like a wiki),
provides searching capabilites, provides support for multi-lingual
documents, and provides for structured content types.  The new website was
developed using Plone <http://plone.org>, with some additional libraries
that add functionality and some minor coding to make things fit the project
better.

Some examples of documents on the site include the Mapfile reference
<http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/>, the howto list
<http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto>, and a "Getting started with MapServer"
document (only exists on the new site thanks to David Fawcett)
<http://ms.gis.umn.edu/new_users/>.

As a user with this site, you can now participate in the documentation of
MapServer.  By "joining" the site, you can create content, submit howtos,
faqs, and tutorials for inclusion in the site, add comments to existing
documents, and help translate documents into your native language.  I will
be working on documents to describe how you can participate in the coming
weeks.  Once you join the site, make sure to go to your "Personal
Preferences" page and update your email alert preference, your picture if
you want, and your latitude/longitude (Sean posted some details of how this
can be used here <http://zcologia.com/news/33>).

The website should be considered beta-level, much like the beta releases of
the software.  If you find an issue, please let me know and/or file a bug
in bugzilla in the website category, and I'll try to get to it.  The two
sites will continue to run in parallel for a while, very likely until after
the release of 4.6 and MUM3, to allow it to grow out of its initial bugs,
to allow for ample time for people to get comfortable with it, and to not
add another item to the conference crunch.

Much of the existing documentation on the blue site has been migrated to
the new site, although things might not be perfectly in sync yet.  We're
working to migrate things over as time permits.  There are also a few other
website bugs here and there, the logo is just a place holder, and I'm sure
there are many other issues I don't even know about yet ;).  The general
structure is there, however, with much of the content filled out so you can
get a feel for how things will look in the future.  After the beta period,
the site will probably be moved to <http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu> (and
continue to exist at its current address), and the stuff in the blue site
will be preserved and made available on something like
<http://old.mapserver.gis.umn.edu>.

I would like to thank Kari, Steve, Tom Burk and the UMN team, the
mapserver-docs crew, and the developers for all of their help and input on
this project.

Howard

PS.  Remember that there is a server outage tonight, so it might not be
available due to the outage.

Subject: Choropleth Mapping Project
Message-ID: <WED.25.MAY.2005.183632.0700.OSTRYA.GEOYAHOO.COM>

I am currently working on an equal interval choropleth
mapping project.  I have tackled the problem of
determineing map class sizes and colors but am having
trouble making the Class Object of the layer object
recognize the colors that I wish to assign to
individual polygons.  If anyone has gotten this to
work please let me know.  My goal is to dynamicly
create and control classes in a layer to produce a
chloropleth map.  I already know which polygons should
be which color, but I can't seem to get it to work
out.

Hardcoded in the map file it looks like this:
CLASSITEM "STATE_NAME"
 CLASS
   EXPRESSION "Louisiana"
   COLOR 255 15 15
 END

I am using:

$layerClassObj[$i+1]->label->color->setRGB($classColor[$i+1][0],$classColor[$i+1][1],$classColor[$i+1][2]);

where:
layerClassObj[] is the Class Object created as part of
x layer in y map

label->color are both Objects within the Class Object

classColor[][] is a multi array with rgb values

The above line of code APPEARS to be assigning the
color values to the Map Object's Reffernce Object for
some reason.  Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello list,


I'm using mapserver as cgi and I need to do a color classification by a field in the dbase table, so that I can see any modification in this table at real time in my map server.

I've tried to do a join between my shapefile and dbase table but the layer disappeared. All that I've read is that Join function in mapfile is no longer available. Is there any other way to do this? Can you post an example?


Thanks in advance.

Hello Alberto,

You cannot use the MapServer JOIN to classify and display attributes from
the join table (see bug
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=674).

So the JOIN function for a LAYER has not disappeared but is not suited for
this purpose.

You could try using OGR JOIN however.

OGR SQL supports a limited form of one to one JOIN.

Somehting like:

CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "data/popplace_pt"
DATA "SELECT columns FROM table LEFT JOIN some join statement"

Take a look at the JOIN examples at
http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/ogr/ogr_sql.html

Regards,

Emil

Hi Francois,

I have found what doesn't really work in my WMS server. The
reprojection really work well now. But the probleme is the
(x,y) position the differents layers who are in local French
epsg projection system. All are not at the right place.

I think it's a problem of PROJ4 epsg definition. But I don't
realy know how solve it.

Have you some tips or technique to resolve that sort of problem?

Thank for your help.

Hello Vincent,

I would suggest that you describe the projection in your mapfile, at least for debug purposes.
If you have a prj file coming e.g. with Arcgis, it is fairly easy.
Then you avoid using +pm=paris and specify lon_0.

For this WKT definition (probably equivalent to a LambertIIE):
PROJCS["France_IMAGE2000",GEOGCS["GCS_NTF",DATUM["D_NTF",SPHEROID["Clarke_1880_IGN",6378249.2,293.46602]],PRIMEM["Greenw
ich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",600000.0],P
ARAMETER["False_Northing",2200000.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",2.337229166666667],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",45.
898919],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",47.696014],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",46.8],UNIT["Meter",1.0]]

I am using this projection section in my mapfile:
  PROJECTION
    "proj=lcc"
    "ellps=clrk80"
    "lat_1=45.898919"
    "lat_2=47.696014"
    "lat_0=46.8"
    "lon_0=2.337229166666667"
    "x_0=600000.0"
    "y_0=2200000.0"
    "units=m"
    "no_defs"
  END

Also check whether or not you need to use the +towgs84 parameter...

Thanks for the help and the idea.

I don't know if it is abble to solve my problem, I have try to
decribe the projection like you said, but T don't have any
change one screen :(

I give you a "impscreen" with a visualisation of my probleme.
But it seem it's a PROJ4 pb.

A strange think, all work great when I use WFS server with the
same projection as my WMS server. All layer display at the
right place (except the europe layer who is not display
because he use an other projection unit). Strange isn't it???

have a nice day,

Vincent

This is my 2 Mapfiles. If I give the same output projection to
my 2 WMS server and my WMS client, all data superimpose with
the right coordinates.

But if it's not the fact, all data are like in the jpeg join
with the mail.

If you see somethink strange, thank you a lot for the help

Vincent

Hello Alberto,

You could try switching to absolute path names.

If your dbf is located at C:/inetpub/wwwroot/project/data/myfile.dbf

Then instead of:

"/inetpub/wwwroot/project/data/myfile.dbf"

in the DATA parameter use:

"C:/inetpub/wwwroot/project/data/myfile.dbf"

Similair if the file is located at Z:/geodata/dbase/myfile.dbf

in the DATA parameter use:

"Z:/geodata/dbase/myfile.dbf"

UNC paths also works so if your Z: disk is a mapping to a machine called
alberto then use

"\\alberto\geodata\dbase\myfile.dbf"

Make sure the Windows user has appropriate rights to access the disk or
share and don't forget that Windows IIS uses the IUSR on default.

The IUSR account is a local machine account so it can only access local
files and not mapped drives or other servers.

So if you want to access data on other servers you need to switch to use a
domain user in IIS (best is to create a new user or group for this purpose).

Accessing other drives/servers may work if you use integrated security in
addition to anonymous access on IIS but this is only so if your (domain)
accoutn has sufficient rights. Everybody from outside (not a domain user)
will not be able to access that data. This can be confusing when testing
your setup.

Regards,

Emil

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could provide some clarification regarding the GDAL
utility gdaladdo and the usage of the levels.  I know the basics of gdaladdo
but how does the level function actually work?  For example I have a 1m
resolution floating point DEM tif image that covers 250km2 and I would like
to use gdaladdo to increase performance.  Ideally the image will be view at
scales ranging from 1:100,000 to 1:500 and I would like to keep the cell
resolution at 1m at the higher scale levels.  Any info would be a great
help.
Thanks for your time
Travis

Hi Vincent,

Some notes and suggestions(?) to solve your problem,

Server1:
Layer Europe:

wms_title is the same as for the map, maybe it is not a good idea (I never tried so maybe I am wrong).
projection of the layer is not defined (should be "init=epsg:xxxx" and not "epsg:xxxx"). Mapserver is then using the one
defined in the PROJECTION section below MAP, is it the correct one?.

Server2:
Note: The projection section directly below MAP does not matter for the wms as it is not an epsg code.
Layer France_L2:
You do not need to specify a wms_srs for a specific layer. It is defined in the projection section of the layer.

If it is not enough, try putting the epsg codes under WEB/wms_srs in the same order or specify only one (obviously the
same epsg code for both mapfiles!). In your WMS client, did you specify in which projection you want the data to be
sent? 

As you wrote your WFS mapfiles are working, if what I wrote before is not working, just replace wfs_ with wms_ in your
wfs mapfiles and check if it is working better. (you will need to comment  the wfs_schemas_location lines).

Use the OFFSITE statement in the LAYER block for that image, as

OFFSITE 0 0 0 will make them transparent.

Realyy thanks a lot.

I have ever the same problem... :(((((((

The only solution I have too overlay correctly my differents
layers, is to give the same output projection on my server and
client.

I have try all the solution you gave me, sorry, but no one
could resolve my problem.

I'm sure the reprojection work fine, my layer aspect change
when the projection change, but the coord. don't change, and
the map display at the wrong place.


Ever and ever the same probleme, it's hard for my brain to
find more and more idea and solution to solve this. I will
stop it for now, and work on mapinfo WFS client and WFS server.

Thanks a lot for the hand,

Vincent

Hi,

Are you using just mapserver or some scripting language ie. PHP as well?

Here is the PHP code witch I use to locate address names from shape and
deliver it to the user in a form of html - table, so that he can choose one
for output to the map.


                  $mySearchLayer = $map->getLayerByName("krundipiirid");
                  $mySearchLayer->set("status", 1);
                  $qstring = "('[Nimi]' =~ /".$otsiaadr.".*/)";
                  @$mySearchLayer->queryByAttributes("Nimi",$qstring
,MS_MULTIPLE);

                  if ($mySearchLayer->getNumResults()>0) {
                    $mySearchLayer->open();
                  for ($i=0; $i<$mySearchLayer->getNumResults(); $i++) {
                    $myResult = $mySearchLayer->getResult($i);
                    $myShape =

Subject: Mapscript .NET, compile
Message-ID: <THU.26.MAY.2005.194050.0200.BARTVDEXS4ALL.NL>

Hi list,

I finally tried to compile Mapscript .NET and I thought I'd share the
process I went through and ask a few questions. Let me start with the
questions :-) :

1) why won't the generated mapscript_wrap.c file compile out of the box
(see below)?
2) what is the difference between mapscript.dll and mapscript_csharp.dll?
3) using the utilities eg shpdump I do get a few unhandled exceptions. Is
that supposed to be the case?

Shape 1 has 1 part(s)
bounds (362153.9375, 3651581.75) (413756.1875, 3708708)

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to
an instance of an object.
    at ShapeDump.Main(String[] args)


What I did is:

* download SWIG from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swigwin-1.3.24.zip
* I put swig.exe and a few other files needed in the mapscript/csharp
directory (mainly the contents of the swig lib directory)
* I ran nmake /f makefile.vc but ran into a problem

The mapscript_wrap.c file generated by SWIG would not compile, so I
removed the last bit, saved the file, and made sure it would not be
generated again by commenting out one line in the makefile.vc.

This is the part I had to remove from mapscript_wrap.c

if (msSetup() != MS_SUCCESS)
{
     msSetError(MS_MISCERR, "Failed to set up threads and font cache",
     "msSetup()");
}

This is the line I commented in the makefile.vc in order not to
re-generate the SWIG C file:

interface: ../mapscript.i
#       $(SWIG) -csharp -o mapscript_wrap.c ../mapscript.i

The only problem I had left was that my c sharp compiler (csc.exe) which
is part of the .NET framework was not in my path so I used the following
in my makefile.vc:

CSC = c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\csc.exe

Best regards,
Bart

Subject: OGR Join and class {Scanned}
Message-ID: <THU.26.MAY.2005.195546.0100.SIKIAGT.BME.HU>

Hi,

I would like to define classes based on an OGR Joined (ODBC) column.
I was not able to make the class definitions.
My layer definition looks like:

LAYER
  NAME test
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
  CONNECTION kafold.shp
  DATA "SELECT kafold.*, ms.* FROM kafold LEFT JOIN
'ODBC:admin/xxx at mydb'.ms ON kafold.hrsz=ms.hrsz"
  TYPE POLIGON
  STATUS DEFAULT
  CLASSITEM "ms.MYCOL"
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /x/
    COLOR 255 0 0
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
  END
END

If I remove CLASSITEM and EXPRESSION line the layer is drawn, so the DATA
definition is good.
I also tried to to remove CLASSITEM and give an expression like
EXPRESSION ('[ms.MYCOL]' = 'x')

I get an error massage in the apache error log
libpng warning Incomplete compressed datastream in iCCP  chunk

Any idea?

Thanks
Zoltan

Thank you guys!

for %f in (path\*.tif) do gdaltindex index.shp %f

worked fine!

I have several more questions: I now have 52 .tif images, index.shp,
index.dbf, and index.shx

1) in step 3 of the following instructions:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BathymetryHowTo
it says that I need to create .wld files for each image. How do I run the
script? I have never used Perl. Are .wld necessary for my php mapserver to
recognize the images?

2) in step 5

LAYER

  NAME 'oceans'
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
  TILEINDEX "oceans"
  TILEITEM "Location"
  MINSCALE 6400000
  CLASS
    NAME "Oceans"
  END

END

what's the difference between tileindex and tileitem? Is tileitem line

My index has worked!

I defined a layer like this:

Question: I can only zoom in so far on my rasters. How do I change the zoom

Bart, you're leaving out some crucial information ... which MapServer
version is this? I don't see the call to msSetup in mapscript_wrap.c
with 4.6beta2. I'm using SWIG 1.3.21 and testing with Mono.

I did a 'strings mapscript.dll' ... it contains the functions of
libmap. The csharp dll is the C# wrapper module.

No, I don't think it should raise exceptions.

I'm not a C# user at all, but I am able to get the module in 4.6beta to
compile without warnings on Linux using the Makefile.

Hello there,

I'm definitely new to Mapserver and am interested in building an
interactive web app using PHP/Mapscript.

I have downloaded both:

mapserver-4.6.0-beta2-win32-php4.3.11.zip

as well as the MS4W package:

ms4w_1.1.zip

, both from http://maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html


I am running Windows 2000 Pro with IIS and I already have PHP 4.1.1
installed. I know I need atleast PHP version 4.3.0 to run the gd library
needed by Mapserver, but I have a large intranet already running the
installed PHP and I'm wondering if it will cause something to crash or
otherwise misbehave.

Should I be concerned about the web apps I already have running or the
intranet as a whole. If I install the MS4W package in a root directory like
it says will there be two different versions of PHP on my server? And if
so, which version will process my php scripts. Any help just getting me
started would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Patrick Vogelaar

You can't do that with MapServer as it sits. The GEOS support added for 4.6 will allow this sort of stuff via MapScript although I haven't added the intersection operator yet (only buffers and convex hulls are supported at the moment). Are you using MapScript? If so, I could look into quickly exposing an intersection method for a shapeObj. 

e.g. $intersection = $shape1->intersect($shape2);
       $intersection->draw(...);

Hi Sean,

I was using 4.6 beta1. Mapscript.i version is: $Id: mapscript.i,v 1.198
2005/02/08 17:34:46 sean Exp $.

It does compile without warnings, but I ran into a few runtime exceptions,
but maybe that's a problem of the C# code of the utilities.

I will try 4.6 beta2 soon.

Best regards,
Bart

Message-ID: <THU.26.MAY.2005.153213.0700.KENLORDGMAIL.COM>

Hi John,
 You in fact can do the intersection, and other spatial functions on the fly 
with the present version of MapServer ... if your data is held in PostGIS.
 I use the Windows CGI flavour of MapServer 4.4.2. The trick is to parse the 
proper SQL query together and use it in the DATA string for the layer.
 One way to do it is by creating a dummy map layer where the DATA string 
contains a query that returns nothing, and has the variable used in the 
substitution within the string. Then use some javascript/asp/whatever to 
alter the value of the substitute variable to use the function and the 
polygons of interest.
 For example, I have a data string that looks like this:
 DATA "the_geom from (SELECT * from surf_terrain %terrainname%) as foo using 
unique gid using SRID=26910"
 The value of terrainname defaults to a value that does not exist in the 
table, so the layer is blank. terrainname='WHERE type=XXX'
 The user can make the website highlight polygons in that layer by using a 
tool on the website that changes the value of terrainname, which is 
submitted in the html form, or through URL encoding.
 My example is simple, you could place the intersection function or whatever 
you want within that variable.
 We have another layer that on the fly shows forest fires that cross a 
pipeline. In this case the DATA string uses the 'crosses' function in 
PostGIS, and looks like:
 DATA "the_geom from (SELECT nt_FFIRES_a.* from nt_ffires_a, pipelin_l where 
nt_ffires_a.the_geom && pipelin_l.the_geom AND crosses(nt_ffires_a.the_geom, 
pipelin_l.the_geom)) as foo using unique gid using SRID=26910"
 Be warned! If you are going to do this, use spatial indexes where ever 
possible to improve performance, and even using spatial indexes, you may 
still find you've made queries that bog your website down too much if you 
aren't careful.
 The forest fire query above, running on an old P3 1ghz machine takes
2.6seconds with the index,
17.6 seconds without! ... and only 0.6 seconds on our new P4 server, using 
spatial indexes.

I'm sure those PHP'ers have great ways to do things too, but this method has 
worked well for us.
 Cheers,
Ken Lord

Subject: Legend broken in 4.6.0beta2
Message-ID: <THU.26.MAY.2005.180311.0700.KENLORDGMAIL.COM>

Hi list,
 I am trying out MapServer 4.6.0beta2, windows binaries downloaded from 
Maptools.org <http://Maptools.org>, CGI, on Windows Server 2003.
 I have MapServer 4.4.2 working fine on the same machine, no problems with 
my website.
 Switching directly to 4.6, changing nothing else, my dynamic HTML legend 
(which also controls the layer states) is no longer being created.
 4.6 is not replacing the [legend] parameter with the code for the legend as 
happens with previous versions of MapServer. Just an empty space in the code 
where the legend would normally be.
 The individual legend graphics are being created as usual.
 Any Ideas?
 My legend template file is fairly complicated using many of the legend 
template CGI parameters plus some javascript. Has anything changed here that 
would crash the legend, but not crash the webpage?
 Thanks,
Ken Lord

Hi Patrick,

I have two php version on my linux box, one is an apache module and
the other is used ascgi for phpmapscript.
I changed the apache config file .phtml files are interpreted by
cgi version of php and .php files are interpreted by the apache module.
I suppose something similar can be done in iis too.

Bye

The server work great with an mapserver client. But with

Mapinfo find the WFS Mapserver correctly. But when I click on
a layer in the Mapinfo box, a warning appear. It says : "In
answer to Describe Feature Type Request, the WFS server return
invalide type component".

A Describefeaturetype request with Mapserver client work fine.

It seem that the XML document use not a valide XML schema.

I have try to change the service in  "ows_schemas_location"
meta, but not positive effect.

I have try to with the mapfile of "ms_ogc_workshop" who is
correct I think, but Mapinfo could'nt correctly use it too.

If somebody have an idea, he could help me a lot lot lot ;)

Patrick,

If I were you, I'd backup the old php installation, and replace with the new php files, then see if your intranet has problems (why looking for a solution, if there may not be a problem).

If there is a problem, you could consider renaming extensions of all .php files (and paths) in your intranet to something else, like ".php4". There should be programs that can do a "search -> replace" in multiple files.
Then you could set up your IIS to execute ".php4" files using "c:\php4.1.1\php.exe", while executing ".php" files with "c:\php4.3.11\php.exe".

regards,

Jacob

a) can you post the response of your Mapserver WFS to a DescribeFeatureType request to the list? So we can see if it might be a configuration issue.

b) can you try using the Cubewerx site for the schemas, there is a problem in the OGC schemas, in the WEB object's METADATA section use:

Hi,

what is the output of gdalinfo on that file?

I know that GDAL does read an associated tab file with a tiff for instance, if they are the exact same name (except for the file extension). It reads the control points then from the tab file.

So you could transform your ECW files in batch to tiff, and then optionally to Geotiff. There might be an easier way though ....

Maybe it will help.

Subject: Mapserver and templetes in xml format
Message-ID: <FRI.27.MAY.2005.030047.0500.PIERO.CAVALIERIHEIDI.IT>

Hi all,

I'm using mapserver in cgi mode, with .NET framework.
I build query String from user interface. Send it to the cgi using
HttpWebRequest class and parse the response with HttpWebResponse.
The template is very simple, ex:

[img]
[mapwidth]
[mapheight]
..
..

Variables are put in protected variables (in code behind), so then I can
use them in the aspx Page.
This seems to works fine (both for browse and query mode), however I noticed
that the first line are additional info from Mapserver, ex:

<!-- MapServer version 4.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE -->

This prevent me from using an xml document for template file (as I would
like to try instead of the html template file). Is there a way to remove
info above, in the cgi response (without recompile sources) ?

Many thanks
   Piero

You are right: googling the web I did find using of ITEMNQUERYMAP
combined with an expression for QSTRING.

But as you can see in the following example, I need to manually specify
"mapxy" and "scale" parameters to see something highlighted:

30%20%20%2077%20%20266')

If I omit center point and scale factor, I see the ENTIRE map (and I
don't want it!) instead of a map automatically centered and zoomed to
enclose all queried features:

Hi list,
with CGI mode=ITEMQUERYMAP I can produce a map with one highlighted
feature (defined using QITEM, QLAYER and QSTRING).

How can I highlight more than one feature (within the same layer) using
the same syntax (QITEM + QLAYER + QSTRING)?
Is there the possibility to use an "OR condition" or a regular
expression in QSTRING parameter?

Thank you,
    Daniele

Message-ID: <FRI.27.MAY.2005.151344.0200.LVNHVM.DK>

I'm rendering a map in a UTM projection, but want to add a satellite image
wms service that only delivers images in lat/long wgs84.

No problem, I set the wms layer projection to epsg:4326, while my map (and
other layers) use projection epsg:25832. And it works, or almost ...

The sat image is distorted - "flattened" - so the vector line work layers on
top of it exceeds the country coast line north and south. And quite
significantly so.

Shouldn't the raster re-projection algoritms in Mapserver take care of such
distortions, or is mixing projected and unprojected coordinate systems
(still) a no-no ?

I think just image formats.  For now, GML is for vector (WFS) type data.

Dear Emil,

Thanks for your suggestions.
Defining the CLASSITEM without table name prefix (either lowercase or
uppercase) results "Invalid Field name: mycol" :(

I think I've tried all combinations.

Subject: How to create tiff world file - tfw
Message-ID: <FRI.27.MAY.2005.124539.0700.AARONRECOTRUST.ORG>

Dave,

Well there are several issues that you point out.  I will try to address
what I can and leave it to the rest of the list group to chime in if you
still have questions:

1) This map you refer to comes with its own tfw file, so you can not
just change that file with out changing the tif file as well... they
must correspond.

2) The x/y pixel sizes are calculated by taking the extent and dividing
by the number of pixels in a given direction.  In the case of your map
you sent me was 1984, 1593 pixels.  You also told me the corners of the
map:

TL 35 00.0000 079 00.0000
BL 33 00.0000 079 00.0000

TR 35 00.0000 076 00.0000
BR 33 00.0000 076 00.0000

So, the x extent = 79-76 = 3 degrees.  Divide by 1984 pixels and you get
the 0.00151209677419.  Do the same for y, remembering that it is
negative (world file is upper left corner referenced).

3) As you can see, the world file is directly related to the extent of
the image you are using, so you can not just "shift" or modify the world
file.  What you can do is keep the world file the same, but define the
projection of the layer to be correct so it lines up.  You will need to
do something like (I have not tried this definition, it is just a guess)
this for your layer:
    PROJECTION
      #Mercator Projection
      "proj=merc"
      "ellps=wgs84"

4) One last point on the tfw, the last 2 numbers are the upper left
corner, but the center of the pixel, so you will have to add
.5*pixel_width to the actual corner coordinate.  Let me know if this
does not make sense.

5) Oh, one more... the 2nd and 3rd numbers deal with rotation of the
image and I have not dealt with images that have non-zero values here...
you need to be careful with these and make sure not to get rid of them.

Finally, I would suggest you read up on GDAL and specifically the
utilities like gdalinfo which can go along way toward telling you about
an image.  It is a great way to check if your world file is interpreted
correctly.  Here is some sample output from the Bathy image you sent me:

[aaronr at pearl nc_fish]$ gdalinfo Bathymap.tif

Band 3 Block=1984x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Blue
Band 4 Block=1984x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Undefined
[aaronr at pearl nc_fish]$

Hope this helps....

And BTW, try to direct general questions like this to both me and the
list as there are many people out there with more knowledge in this area
and the messages get in the archives to help others in the future.

Good luck!

Greetings Aaron,
I was messing with some other maps today and I have a questions about
how 
you did the tfw file for the bathy map.

I have an off the shelf Coastal Map in tif format.  It comes with a tfw 
file.

My guess is it is in a different datam.  When I load it on the map
server it 
winds up off in the ocean some where.  SOooo....I have the tif and was
just 
going to make my own.

My question is how did you make the file for the Bathy map?  Is there a 
program that you use for this?


The first coefficient is the X pixel size and The fourth is the Y pixel
size 
and I guess this is where my question is.....


I know where the last two numbers come from...lat and long from the 
corners....but how did you get the first and forth?

How do you figure out the x and y pixel size?

It seems that you can leverage the OGR spatial indexing routine to achieve

I need a little help understanding how to make interactive maps using PHP/Mapscript. I couldn't find appropriate tutorials or examples, and the reference pages were not enough for me.

Without Mapscript, I see that you get interactivity by providing a template html file, which is sent out to the client browser each time. With Mapscript, do you still provide a template file? If so, what about the PHP file? Where does that fit in?

Can someone show me an example or a tutorial? I want the user to be able to pan/zoom/identify a polygon map.

Thanks.

I just found the Mapscript example where the user can draw points on the map. Based on that, I can gather how to do zoom and pan: take the clicked coordinates, translate to map coordinates, reset the map extent, and redraw the map. Actually, the reference for MapObj is not starting to make sense to me. I see there are zoom methods.

I'd still appreciate any online tutorials or examples.

Thanks.

Jeff and AZ, that's the spirit!
My book, to be published by O'Reilly, is due out in a few weeks and is on track.  We hope to have it available for the Open Source Geospatial conference.  It covers many topics, not just MapServer, see the sample chapter on the website:
See: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webmapping

The other MapServer-related book is by Bill Kropla, published by Apress.  I'm not familiar with the timing for this book.  I was pretty sure I'd read July or August but can't find the reference now.

You might try a slightly newer version of MapServer. I ran into the same issue outputting SVG via templates so I thought I surpressed the output of the version string for queries. I'll check the source to be sure.

Hi all,

I'm using mapserver in cgi mode, with .NET framework.
I build query String from user interface. Send it to the cgi using
HttpWebRequest class and parse the response with HttpWebResponse.
The template is very simple, ex:

[img]
[mapwidth]
[mapheight]
..
..

Variables are put in protected variables (in code behind), so then I can
use them in the aspx Page.
This seems to works fine (both for browse and query mode), however I noticed
that the first line are additional info from Mapserver, ex:

<!-- MapServer version 4.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE -->

This prevent me from using an xml document for template file (as I would
like to try instead of the html template file). Is there a way to remove
info above, in the cgi response (without recompile sources) ?

Many thanks

Hi Gregor,

I did try it a few months ago on Windows, as an Apache module, and it
worked okay. I only had some unexpected performance problems, but those
might be unrelated. I did not investigate the performance problems.

We're running php/mapscript with php 5 and apache 2 as a DSO on linux.

I've heard of issues some people had with mapscript running as a DSO,
and I've read a lot about the thread-safety issues of php and apache
2, but I haven't seen anything regarding specific compatability
problems between mapscript and php 5.

So far I haven't had any problems, but we don't have a very heavy load
on our mapserver.

Hi,

This is a little of topic, but it is related to building a web interface
for mapserver.

I have form in html that I do NOT want to submit.

http://swoodbridge.com/~woodbri/t.html

enter text in location and hit [enter], the form starts a submit and
calls nosubmit() which puts up an alert and then return false; which
should cancel the submit. But it does the submit anyway :(

This is really annoying because I figure I'm doing something stupid, but
I just don't see it.

Any help would be appreciated.
   -Steve W.

the html is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

<html>
<head>
<title>Submit Test</title>

this works for me (I changed your button into a submit, and note the

I think you need a return in there, e.g.
   <form onsubmit="return nosubmit();">
The joy's of JavaScript...
Alos check the case of onSubmit, since it's HTML it may not matter.
And note that the onSubmit function doesn't get called it you do a form.submit()

Thank you! you are right. I did need the onsubmit="return nosubmit();"
Bart mentioned that, but he also mentioned that he turned the button
into a submit and I missed that other subtle little point, so I
appreciate your follow up also.

Subject: Printing WMS layers in ArcMap 9.0
Message-ID: <MON.30.MAY.2005.114503.0800.BONNIE.STEWARTDLI.WA.GOV.AU>

Hi all,
 
Technically, I suspect this question would be more appropriate for an ArcGIS users forum, but from what I can find there's not a lot of help out there on ArcGIS issues, so I was hoping someone else from the Mapserver-users community might be using ArcMap, and might have encountered this issue before.
 
I've got a couple of mapfiles up and running which are include various vector and raster layers, and mostly I'm accessing them via ArcMap 9.0. However, I'm having trouble getting ArcMap to print my WMS images - print preview always comes up blank, and if you go ahead and print a page anyway, it's blank.
 
ArcMap's Help says that ArcMap converts maps to .emf (Windows Enhanced Metafile) for printing, and suggests manually doing an export to .emf and then opening up the .emf to see where the problem lies. Well, I've done this, and the .emf comes out entirely blank. To compare, I've tried exporting to .bmp, and that comes out fine.
 
Is there a problem with exporting WMS images to .emf? 
Is it possible to get ArcMap to print from a different export format?
 
I have absolutely no GIS experience, so it's probably something very obvious, but all help would be much appreciated!
 
(Would be happy to provide the mapfiles etc, but as I can print fine in Internet Explorer, and ArcExplorer 4, I don't think it's an issue with the mapfiles..)
 
 
Cheers,
 
 
Bonnie

Bonnie-

We use ArcMap extensively and it has become standard practice in our
GIS shop to export everything to .pdf before printing.

I am not sure about WMS bugs specifically, but the various other
problems we have encountered while trying to print maps from the
modern (8.x 9.x) Arc programs are often solved by using .pdf.

good luck

-Mike

Thanks Ed, I begin to understand all this stuff much better. Now, would
it be hard for you to just give an example of creating an overview that
exactly matches a predefined output scale so no resampling occurs. I
will give you some informations:

My tiff file has the following info:

tiffinfo -s 5B15-19-DOF.tif

5B15-19-DOF.tif: Warning, unknown field with tag 700 (0x2bc) ignored.
5B15-19-DOF.tif: Warning, unknown field with tag 34665 (0x8769) ignored.
TIFF Directory at offset 0x8
  Subfile Type: (0 = 0x0)
  Image Width: 4500 Image Length: 6000
  Resolution: 72, 72 pixels/inch
  Bits/Sample: 8
  Compression Scheme: None
  Photometric Interpretation: RGB color
  Date & Time: "2004:12:14 17:10:55"
  Software: "Adobe Photoshop 7.0"
  Samples/Pixel: 3
  Rows/Strip: 6000
  Planar Configuration: single image plane
  Photoshop Data: <present>, 19524 bytes
  1 Strips:
        0: [   24478, 81000000]

Suppose I want to build an overview that exactly matches 1:10000 scale.
I am using RESOLUTION 96 in my map file (this is required for proper
function of PDF print, as p.mapper doc says). I am using 18 tiff files
similar to this one and I have built a TILEINDEX shapefile. I have a map
SIZE 480 396, and the EXTENT 5404200.000000 4965100.000000
5414801.640459 4974500.000000. Are there enough informations? Sorry I
learn best on real example so this would help me very much.

Dejan -

Look at the GDAL documentation for the gdaladdo utility to find out
about building overviews.  That is a feature that's entirely internal to
GDAL, not MapServer.

The MapServer map file MINSCALE and MAXSCALE settings are used to limit
the minimum and maximum view scales permitted for that map file.  Your
own user interface can constrain the scale values to specific settings.
For example, on TopoZone you can look at this map:

http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=44.9225&lon=-115.92167

And you can use the View Scale menu on the left to change the "zoom
level" or scale at which the map is viewed.  The menu interface limits
the View Scale not only to a minimum and maximum value, but also
constrains it to be one of the 11 choices displayed.

OK thanks, you helped me very much. The thing is that I could not find
much informations about overviews untill I noticed it is called
"pyramids". Can you just tell me where do I set the output image
resolution? There is RESOLUTION mapo file parameter but it only affects
scale computations (as documentation says)? Or it is just the matter of
map size parameter?

Thanks very much

Dejan -

The first thing you need to do is understand your own application.  Do
you limit how far users can zoom out on the map?  If so, there's no
point in creating overviews beyond that point.  If not, perhaps you
should do so, or decide to ignore any performance problems when users
zoom out too far (if it's not useful, they're not likely to do it very
often, and it's probably not important).

TIFF overviews are a GDAL construct, and it is GDAL that knows how to
handle and use them.  TIFF files can contain multiple "pages", a concept
originally intended for multi-page documents like faxes.  GDAL uses
these pages to create multiple copies of the same image at different
resolutions, all inside one file.  So the MAP file or TILEINDEX just
refers to the one file, and GDAL determines - based on the requested
output image resolution - the overview that is closest to the requested
resolution without being less than it.  That is the image used for
resampling.

You can get the best possible peformance by constraining the map view
scale to a list of specific values (with zoom scale radiobuttons or a
menu) and then creating overviews to exactly match those output scales.
Then you can be sure that no resampling will ever happen.

Thanks Ed. I am just curious to learn where can I find some elementary
informations about overviews and levels, for example to know the file
size stuff you mentioned? And how exactly MapServer uses overviews
automatically without doing anything in map file? If the storage space
is not the problem, how can I know how much levels do I need to create
to get the best performance? What is the upper limit? 16? 32? 64? Can
you give me some usefull links where I can learn all that?

Thanks very much

Dejan -

You should be willing to apply overviews quite generously.  If you have
a single 80 MB image, a 2X overview (half the resolution) will require
20 MB more space, and a 4X overview will require 5 MB on top of that, so
you will increase your storage from 80 MB to 105 MB.  Adding 8x, 16x,
32x, 64x, AND 128x overviews (probably more than you need) will, in
total, only add 2 MB more space and will provide fast display for those
very "zoomed out" views.

Thanks to all specially to Ed. I have created overviews of my GeoTIFF
files with gdaladdo. Now I am using combination of tileindex and
overviews and the layer is displayed at the full view much faster. I
think that is it and I can't do anything more than this except
increasing the bandwidth of my server and my users of course...

Thanks very much

Dejan -

Have you created "overviews" with GDAL, or created other resampled,
lower-resolution copies of your images to be used when the view is
zoomed out?  That's the first thing you should do, in order to fix the
performance problem rather than try to display an animated advertisement
for it!

Look at the gdaladdo documentation to start.  It will let you resample
the images to lower resolution versions ONCE rather than doing it on the
fly for every map request.

Thanks everybody participating in the discussion of displaying progress
bar. I am aware of the problem but just want to describe something that
is happening on my site. 

I have a set of 18 GeoTIFF ortophoto color images, each one has a size
of 80MB. I have created tileindex shapefile to increase performance in
reading the data and I have informed the users they should first have to
zoom onto desired extent on the map and activate the ortophoto layer
after that to speed up the loading. But users are just users and many of
them are trying to activate the ortophoto layer before that (while the
map is in full view) so the loading is slow.

I have put a "Loading" message but the point is the following: when I
load the image on the local network, I get the "Loading" message and I
have to wait about 30 seconds, then the image is displayed at once. On
the slow connection I also get "loading" message displayed about 30
seconds and then the map is displayed incrementally (that is ok). So my
problem is those 30 seconds (that can arise to several minutes regarding
the number of simultaneous users of course). Can I do something?

Thanks, Dejan

Dejan -

I'll second Frank's scepticism here.  Most of the "Image Loading"
animations you see on mapping sites are just that - animations.  They're
standalone animated GIFs and the like which cause pixels to twinkle on
the user's screen but which have no relationship to the actual progress
of the application.  The server could burst into flames and the "Image
Loading" graphic would keep dancing.

The site Regina mentions falls into this category.  IMHO, these kinds of
graphics are primarily used to try to cover up slow map servers, and not
to give users meaningful progress feedback.

I think by far the best feedback mechanism for image load time is the
map image itself.  If you simply display the image in a format that
browsers can easily render incrementally, then the user can see the
image begin to appear and will get a good feel for how long it will take
just by watching it.  JPEG is NOT a good choice for this, but GIF and
PNG images should render properly on most browsers.

For example, look at this image:

http://www.topozone.com/images/MtMonadnockTopo.gif

Over a slow connection.  You should see the large map image load
incrementally, so you know things are working.  If the image were
smaller and in a frame (to define the final output size) it would be
relatively easy to assess how much progress is being made.

Hi,

Is it possible to create some kind of progress bar while waiting for
raster data to be displayed. I have some raster data in GeoTIFF format
that some users with a slow connection must wait for. I am wondering if
I can show them a progress bar indicating "estimated" time they have to
wait so they know and they can wait or cancel the process.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the best way to inform users?

thanks very much

Hi Bastian 

I came across something similar trying to use Export Map to PDF on a WMS layer that exported fine to JPG and was given this advice: 

"My guess is the JPG files export without problems because they at drawing at a resolution of 96 dpi. This is the default resolution for JPG exports. PDF exports, however, have a default resolution of 300 dpi. We've reproduced the draw failure here, it occurs in all formats when resolution is 300 dpi. The service layers are dropped in all export formats and during printing. This confirms that the failure is occuring at draw time. 

We looked further into the issue, and identified a limitaion on the server's end as the cause of the draw failure. When we peeked at the server's response from the request sent during the 300 dpi export, it returned an exception message stating, "Image is wider than maximum allowed width of 2000". In order to draw the service layer at a resolution of 300 dpi, ArcMap had requested an image of width=3063 height=2619. The server raised the exception instead of returning the image. 

While this layer draw failure is not caused by our export implementation, we probably need to do a better job of providing feedback when exceptions occur during output. When pixel size limit errors occur on draw to the screen, ArcMap displays an information dialog to inform the user of the exception. Output, however, does not provide any feedback mechanism. For now, the only workaround I can recommend is outputing your PDF file at a lower resolution, something close to 96 dpi. " 

In my case turning the resolution down to 150dpi achieved the result I was looking for - perhaps you can try doing the same.

While this was talking about JPG files, the problem was similar with .emf files. I tried exporting to .emf at 200 dpi instead of the default 300, and the image came out OK. When you go to print, you can't specify the dpi numerically, but there's a "Output Image Quality" slider from Fast -> Normal -> Best. I changed it to 'Fast' (default is 'Best'), and it printed (and previewed - but you have to cancel out of the Print dialog in order to preview) fine.
 
Hopefully this info saves somebody else from the puzzled few days I just had :)
 
 
Cheers,

Bonnie-

We use ArcMap extensively and it has become standard practice in our
GIS shop to export everything to .pdf before printing.

I am not sure about WMS bugs specifically, but the various other
problems we have encountered while trying to print maps from the
modern (8.x 9.x) Arc programs are often solved by using .pdf.

good luck

That is the right problem.  You will find results vary depending on whose WMS
you are using.  MapServer has a default image size limit of 2,000, I think.
It can be overridden at MapServer compile time.  I use another (IMS) service
that is limited to 1024.  It will then be all related the output resolution
of the device or export file you select.  In most cases, at a resolution of
about 120DPI you might get an 8.5 x 11 page??  Good luck - it's thoroughly
irritating.

  Hi all,
  I "joined" the new mapserver site .. and then I tried to see a how-to,
about vector data . Then the site threw an insufficient privilege error
. Is that right?
  Bye,

That's great!  Good work!  I look forward to using the new site!

All,

I am pleased to announce the beta release of the new MapServer
website.  The site is located at < http://ms.gis.umn.edu>.

I, Kari Guerts, the mapserver-docs team, and the developers have been
working to develop a site that streamlines documentation development,
allows through-the-web editing (but not a free-for-all like a wiki),
provides searching capabilites, provides support for multi-lingual
documents, and provides for structured content types.  The new website
was
developed using Plone <http://plone.org  <http://plone.org> >, with some
additional libraries
that add functionality and some minor coding to make things fit the
project
better.

Some examples of documents on the site include the Mapfile reference
< http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/
<http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/> >, the howto list
<http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto>, and a "Getting started with
MapServer"
document (only exists on the new site thanks to David Fawcett)
<http://ms.gis.umn.edu/new_users/>.

As a user with this site, you can now participate in the documentation
of
MapServer.  By "joining" the site, you can create content, submit
howtos,
faqs, and tutorials for inclusion in the site, add comments to existing
documents, and help translate documents into your native language.  I
will
be working on documents to describe how you can participate in the
coming
weeks.  Once you join the site, make sure to go to your "Personal
Preferences" page and update your email alert preference, your picture
if
you want, and your latitude/longitude (Sean posted some details of how
this
can be used here <http://zcologia.com/news/33>).

The website should be considered beta-level, much like the beta releases
of
the software.  If you find an issue, please let me know and/or file a
bug
in bugzilla in the website category, and I'll try to get to it.  The two
sites will continue to run in parallel for a while, very likely until
after
the release of 4.6 and MUM3, to allow it to grow out of its initial
bugs,
to allow for ample time for people to get comfortable with it, and to
not
add another item to the conference crunch.

Much of the existing documentation on the blue site has been migrated to
the new site, although things might not be perfectly in sync yet.  We're

working to migrate things over as time permits.  There are also a few
other
website bugs here and there, the logo is just a place holder, and I'm
sure
there are many other issues I don't even know about yet ;).  The general

structure is there, however, with much of the content filled out so you
can
get a feel for how things will look in the future.  After the beta
period,
the site will probably be moved to < <http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu>
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu> (and
continue to exist at its current address), and the stuff in the blue
site
will be preserved and made available on something like
< <http://old.mapserver.gis.umn.edu>  http://old.mapserver.gis.umn.edu>.

I would like to thank Kari, Steve, Tom Burk and the UMN team, the
mapserver-docs crew, and the developers for all of their help and input
on
this project.

Howard

PS.  Remember that there is a server outage tonight, so it might not be
available due to the outage.

Yes.  This is a bug.  Please file a bugzilla report.  I will try to
get to it this week.

Thanks

you can see an example of interactive map realised with p.mapper with
some difference.....
ask me if you are interested....

Hi Alberto,

Thanks for your suggestion, but the alias name doesn't help.
Everything is working without any error, but mapserver doesn't see the
columns of the joined table (making thematic map or quering the layer).
I decided to write a program making the join. I have to use dinamic data
for the join.

Does anybody use ogr join in mapserver succesfully?

Thanks
Zoltan

Dear all,

Whether or not I embeded scalebar in map, it showed wrong distance, e.g. it should be 18.3 km but it showed 18300 km. Nontheless I use projection or not. What I have to specially set to get right scalebar?

Subject: RAM vs Performance, how much is more than enough?
Message-ID: <MON.30.MAY.2005.094126.0700.STIGMATA_BLACKANGELYAHOO.COM>

So, I was browsing through server hardware offerings
from various companies, and considering the need for
RAM. What I'm wondering is how much memory is really
helpful for a system that's serving up MapServer,
static HTML, and some PHP/MapScript stuff.

I've noticed that MapServer doesn't use much RAM. The
supporting webserver (Apache) isn't particularly
memory-consumptive either. The only real memory
gobbler of the setup seems to be the database, which
would run on a dedicated server.

I know the OS will use spare RAM for filesystem cache,
which is always good, but I'm curious as to whether
there's a noticable difference between serving up just
MapServer with 256 MB of RAM versus 2 GB.

Message-ID: <MON.30.MAY.2005.094320.0700.KENLORDGMAIL.COM>

I've encountered the same problem. I can see wms layers in ArcGIS 9, but not 
print or export them, the rest of the map prints or exports, but nothing 
from wms is included.
 I'll have to try the low resolution suggestion and see if it works for me, 
I am surprised it works for you. For me it appears that ArcMap just doesnt 
give any time for the wms layers to regenerate when it regenerates 
everything for the print/export, but the reason given makes sense, I've seen 
wms layers fail to draw when requesting too large of an area.
 I would have assumed that they would request smaller tiles to fill the map 
if the area/resolution is too high, but it is ESRI, so perhaps we'll see it 
in service pack 4.
 Cheers,

The answer to your question is right there: yes, there will be a
noticable difference, because frequently used files (like indexes) will
get cached. This is even more try if you have a PostGIS database,
because the database will be more agressive than the filesystem about
making sure that "important" files (indexes) are brough into buffer
cache. The speed differential between RAM and disk hits is so very high,
that more RAM in combination with caching (which every modern OS and
database does aggressively) will make things run faster.

Wow, even just a plain ol' webserver running a CGI?
Good to know - thanks a lot, Paul.

On a related note: Apache 2 offers file caching. I've
tried running Apache 2 with the usual CGI-PHP setup
and MapScript, and the webserver would randomly freeze
every few days, even under light traffic. Is anyone
using Apache 2 and MapScript under Unix with good
results? I may have been using the wrong MPM (prefork,
which sounded safe).

Subject: Mapscript API: for object manipulation, not object creation?
Message-ID: <MON.30.MAY.2005.131521.0400.RICKINNIS.CA>

Would I be right in thinking that the primary purpose of the
MapScript API is to manipulate properties of a map defined in a
mapfile, rather than to programatically create a map or map elements
using the API?

The reason I ask this is that I'm trying to define a layer
dynamically using the Java version of the SWIG API, and I'm running
into what appears to be a garbage collection issue. (I've replicated
the same issue on both Linux (Debian "sarge", 2.6.8 kernel) and Mac
OS X 10.4.1, so I'm reasonably confident it's not a platform-specific
issue.)

Here's a code fragment to illustrate what I'm doing, which is
basically creating a layer, class, and style object and adding the
layer to a map that was previously read in from a mapfile:

                 layerObj l = new layerObj(map);
                 l.setType(MS_LAYER_TYPE.MS_LAYER_POINT);
                 l.setConnectiontype(MS_CONNECTION_TYPE.MS_POSTGIS);
                 String connectionString  = "...";

                 l.setConnection(connectionString);
                 l.setData("shape from sometable");

                 l.setStatus(mapscriptConstants.MS_ON);
                 l.setName("data_layer");
                 classObj c = l.getClass(0);
                 if (c == null) c = new classObj(l);
                 c.setStatus(mapscriptConstants.MS_ON);
                 styleObj style = new styleObj(c);
                 style.setBackgroundcolor(map.getImagecolor());
                 style.setSymbol(1);
                 style.setSymbolname("pin");

This is working OK - the layer is displayed and look as I expect it
to. However, after a few loads of the map I'm getting errors when
Java runs its garbage collection:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x4E9D4EFA

(Finalizer.java:160)

(The method at the top of the execution stack might also be
delete_layerObj; I've seen both.)

After looking into mapscript_wrap.c my theory is that what's
happening is that Java is trying to deallocate an object that's
already been deallocated on the C side of the world.

Here's what I think is happening:
- I load a map from a mapfile
- in Java, I get the corresponding instance of mapObj - basically a
wrapper for the C structure.
- I create a new layerObj in Java - again a wrapper for the
corresponding C structure. Behind the scenes (in C) this is
associated with the C mapObj.
- I create a classObj and a styleObj - again, C structs behind the
scenes
- my application does its thing
- the objects go out of scope
- eventually, the Java GC kicks in
- when the Java mapObj is gc'd, the finalizer is invoked. This calls
the delete_<foo>Obj method, which calls into mapserver to deallocate
the memory for the corresponding C struct. This also deallocates
anything it has a reference to, including the memory for the
layerObj, classObj and styleObj I created.
- Java then tries to gc the other objects, which includes trying to
free their memory - which has already been freed. Result: segment
violation

Does this make sense to people? From work that I know others have
done in Perl, it seems that everything you need in a map is best
declared in the mapfile, and the API can be used to manipulate that,
but creating and manipulating new objects via the API is problematic.

The mapscript API is a product of evolution rather than design, and so
it has many purposes ;) I have done a lot of work since version 4.2 to
make sure that it does support programatic creation of map elements.
I'm testing it rigorously with Python, but not with Java.

Right. There may be a bug in the one argument forms of classObj and
layerObj constructors that does not properly transfer ownership of the
object to its parent. In the meanwhile, the solution is for you to
begin using the current configuration API, the documentation is
distributed with mapscript under mapscript/docs/mapfile-HOWTO.txt and
online at

   http://zcologia.com/mapserver/mapfile-howto

Once you replace the old-style usage (example)

   layerObj l = new layerObj(map);
   l.setName('new_layer');
   ...

with the current (using the zero argument constructors)

   layerObj new_layer = new layerObj();
   new_layer.setName('new_layer');
   ...
   li = map.insertLayer(new_layer);
   l = map.getLayer(li);

the garbage collection problem is avoided. In a nutshell, the current
way of building up a map configuration is to create an element (layer,
class, or style), configure it, and then insert a *copy* of it into a
parent container. The insert* methods transfer ownership (and
responsibility for deletion) to the parent.

I have seen mapserver 4.4 and 4.6b2 use all the ram available (upto the 2GB 
in our server) ... then timeout.
 ... However I'm sure its a bug issue, not really a RAM / Performance issue.
 It happens when I have a polyline layer turned on, and all other layers 
turned off, but it works fine if any other layer is turned on with that 
polyline layer. The polyine layer is in PostGIS, but the same problem occurs 
using a shapefile of the same data.

However, the zero-arg constructors are protected. Is that a bug?

I'm running Gentoo Linux box (dual p3 1.4, 2GB ram, scsci) with apache2, php 4.3.10, mapserver 4.4.1, PostGIS 0.9.1  with no problems to complain about.  With the traffic to date our site hasn't been stressed at all and the first month it was up it had served over 10000 maps.

I've noticed PostGIS likes ram and mapserver likes fast disk access.

Great. The sooner, the better. We're aiming for a 4.6 release to

No, I forgot momentarily that SWIG-Java doesn't support optional method
arguments as we have with Python. There is no zero argument constructor
for Java. Calling the ordinary constructor with a NULL argument should
be equivalent.

Doesn't appear to be. This is what I get in the logfile:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x400A3D89
Function=__libc_free+0x49
Library=/lib/tls/libc.so.6

Current Java thread:
         at edu.umn.gis.mapscript.mapscriptJNI.mapObj_insertLayer
(Native Method)
         at edu.umn.gis.mapscript.mapObj.insertLayer(mapObj.java:341)

Two possibly related items:

While the docs say the insert methods return the index at which the
object was inserted, the Java API doesn't seem to support this - it
supports a range of "insertFoo(foo, index)" methods.

Also, I notice that if I do a "make clean" in mapserver-4.4.2, I need
to do a "make interface" in mapserver-4.4.2/mapscript/java before I
can rebuild the Java API - which is then slightly different from the
one I get "out of the box". Mainly seems to be in the MS_ classes,
which define their statics as objects "out of the box" but ints after
a rebuild.

I'm looking at mapObj.java generated using SWIG 1.3.21 and MapServer
4.4. Should be what you get out of the box. I see a

   public int insertLayer(layerObj layer, int index)

Once again I forgot that there are no optional method arguments for
Java. Sorry. In the Python mapscript, this method's signature is

   insertLayer(layer, index=-1)

and we can omit the index, it defaults to -1, or the end of the layers
list. In your case, insert a layer at the end with

   li = map.insertLayer(layer, -1)

OK - I was using

map.insertLayer(layer, map.getNumlayers())

naively assuming it would insert at the appropriate index. Thanks.

Things seem to be working now...I'm letting a stress test run so
we'll see how that works. (It's just curl in a while loop, but it
does the trick.)

Subject: Getting MapServer working (PHP MapScript)
Message-ID: <MON.30.MAY.2005.195235.0400.ABE.GILLESPIEGMAIL.COM>

I'm trying to get things up & running on my new laptop and haven't run
into this much trouble with MapServer before.  I'm running the latest
Ubuntu and compiled PHP MapScript with the latest stable MapServer
release + the latest libraries.  This is my configure command:

/configure --with-proj=/usr/local/src/proj-4.4.9
--with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config
--with-postgis=/usr/local/src/postgis-1.0.1
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config
--with-php=/usr/local/src/php-4.3.11 --prefix=/usr/local

The only things installed via apt-get are Apache2 and GD.

I'm trying to get a simple Chameleon sample running and am getting the
dreaded "premature end of script headers" error.  OTH, if I try to
setup a simple page with a simple map (one layer in the map file), I
don't getting anything past the ms_newMapObj() line; not even errors. 
For example:

<html>
<body>
<?
dl("php_mapscript.so");
echo("Starting...");
$map = ms_newMapObj("simple.map");
$img = $map->draw();
?>
</body>
</html>

Looks like this when it gets to the client:
<html>
<body>
Starting...

It dies at ms_newMapObj() with no helpful messages.

Help is very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Ed,
 I pursued my MODE=MAP issues a little deeper ... the new hardware didn't 
fix it ... 
 My snapshots fail sporadically. If i plug the source of the images into a 
new webpage, I get the following error: "CGI error, The specified CGI 
application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.". 
Sometimes the top half of an image generates, but not the rest.
 Ive seen this error before when using a faulty build of mapserver that was 
up on the homepage for awhile a couple months ago but in that case it 
affected all maps generated, not just some of the snapshots. 
 My current install is clean on a new server, 4.4.2 and 4.6b2. Each install 
is in its own folder, to keep the dll's of the different versions separated, 
the website has a virtual directory that points to the specific version I 
want it to use. My mode=browse maps work fine.
 The failures happen often on the same features, or in the same area of one 
feature while another area works. The features pass as valid to PostGIS, 
using shapefiles made no difference. The number of features returned does 
not seem to be impacting the occurance of failures.
 These failures have been happening since MapServer 4. I may need to rig up 
mapserver 3.6 to produce the snapshots since it never gave me a problem. 
Anyways maybe this shows why I was leery to suggest to the other person to 
rely on mode=map.
 Cheers,
Ken Lord

It's not clear what goes wrong. Include some code of your mapfile. What
are the map units and the scalebar units?

Dear all,
 
Whether or not I embeded scalebar in map, it showed wrong distance, e.g.
it should be 18.3 km but it showed 18300 km. Nontheless I use projection
or not. What I have to specially set to get right scalebar?
 
TIA

Hi list
 Anyone has find a bug in the
ms441pg.zip<http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32bin/ms441pg.zip>version?
I'm using mapserver an map application, that on linux works fine,
under windows but if I use the reference map a windows error appears. This 
error just happens sometimes and normally when I make a query. If I put out 
the reference map, it works perfect but it's a pity to don't use this 
wonderful tool.

Hi Ed,

Posting the complete MAP file would be too much, and I thought the general
issue whether MS can reproject wms/rasters or not wouldn't need specific
examples.

But in any case, here is a relevant excerpt:

MAP myMAP
RESOLUTION 96
STATUS ON
UNITS METERS
SIZE 600 480
EXTENT 363842 6027893 863744 6427815
PROJECTION

END
# the lat-long WGS84 only WMS service
LAYER
    NAME GoogleMaps
    TYPE RASTER
    STATUS ON
    CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
    CONNECTION
"http://www.gispro.dk/googlemaps_wms.php?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=g
etmap&layers=sat_auto&format=image/jpeg"
    PROJECTION
        "init=EPSG:4326"
    END
END
# other vector layers natively in EPSG:25832, e.g.:
LAYER
    NAME "myVectorLayer"
    PROJECTION
        "init=EPSG:25832"
    END
    Type LINE
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION ".../myTable.TAB"
    STATUS ON
    CLASS
        COLOR 0 0 255
        TEMPLATE void
    END
    TOLERANCE 10
END
END

I've uploaded the experienced visual appearence of the same front vector
layer with each background layer :

- with satellite imagery: http://www.gis.hvm.dk/test/ms_sat_back.jpg (with
the flattened appearence)

- with grey backdrop: http://www.gis.hvm.dk/test/ms_grey_back.png

- as seen in MapInfo Pro (distorts the vector to fit the raster):

It sounds like the right approach; could you post the MAP file if

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Resampling rasters from unprojected WMS
sources ?

I'm rendering a map in a UTM projection, but want to add a satellite
image wms service that only delivers images in lat/long wgs84.

No problem, I set the wms layer projection to epsg:4326, while my map
(and other layers) use projection epsg:25832. And it works, or almost
...

The sat image is distorted - "flattened" - so the vector line work
layers on top of it exceeds the country coast line north and south. And
quite significantly so.

Shouldn't the raster re-projection algoritms in Mapserver take care of
such distortions, or is mixing projected and unprojected coordinate
systems
(still) a no-no ?

Hi Wolfgang,

only CLASSes with a NAME end up in the legend. So add NAMEs to your classes. The name is then used for the label in the legend.

Hi list,
I am looking for a way to create a legend for my mapserver-map which
contains an Arc/INFO Binary GRID. Color definitions were made inside the
mapfile using this syntax:
"CLASSITEM "[pixel]"
                CLASS
                        EXPRESSION ([pixel]< 10)
                        COLOR 200 0 220
                END"

Thank you for your answer, this "qstring" works very well (my map was
already in the FOOTER section of the query-template):
http://sit.comune.lugo.ra.it/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=itemnquery&mapxy=17294
87.0255+4927174.2505&scale=2000&map=/dati/sit/Lugo_base.map&mapsize=&lay
er=CTR_5000&layer=Mappali&layer=Quadrocatasto&layer=Grafo_stradale&qlaye
r=Mappali&qitem=PARTKEY&qstring=/E730%20%20%2077%20%20427|E730%20%20%207
7%20%20428|E730%20%20%2077%20%20266/

But I have to specfiy "mapxy" and "scale" (as if I had "clicked" on the
map) to have querymap centered on my features; if I omit "mapxy" and
"scale" I obtain query centered on the entire extent:
http://sit.comune.lugo.ra.it/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=itemnquery&map=/dati/s
it/Lugo_base.map&mapsize=&layer=CTR_5000&layer=Mappali&layer=Quadrocatas
to&layer=Grafo_stradale&qlayer=Mappali&qitem=PARTKEY&qstring=/E730%20%20
%2077%20%20427|E730%20%20%2077%20%20428|E730%20%20%2077%20%20266/

How can I center (and scale) my querymap without previously calculate a
mapxy point near the queried features?

Thanks,
  Daniele

Hi Bart,

If you could get relevant profiles from both versions of PHP using APD (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.apd.php) then it should be fairly easy to
find the culprit...

I suppose this isn't a bad time to mention Mapping Hacks, written by
Rich Gibson, Jo Walsh, and yours truly, and also published by
O'Reilly. Although the book only has one hack on MapServer, it covers
a lot of other Open Source GIS related subjects. Mapping Hacks should
be on the shelves in June, and we will be giving away a small number
of copies at MUM.

Ed,

 

This is a bit overdue... but thanks for your assistance with my question.  I
was able to get the raster layer to function properly.

 

Another question... do spaces in a map file cause problems?  In other words,
am I creating problems when I am trying to make a map file more readable by
realigning code and adding spaces?

Ryan -

 

The example MAP file you give seems (at a quick look) OK if all your input
data is in the same projection.  The only way you know what projections to
use is by knowing your source data.  Some source formats, like GeoTIFF, will
have projection information embedded in them.  Others, like your shapefiles,
usually do not - you need to know what you have.

 

Do you think all your data is in the same projection?  What does the listgeo
command tell you when you use it to dump the metadata from the basin_alb.tif
file?

 

I'm going to guess that your raster image is in the Albers or other
projection, and your shapefiles are in unprojected geographic coordinates.

Hello Listserv,

I want to add another layer, a RASTER layer, but it does not work and I don't

something incorrectly?  I am outputting my data to a Flash viewer in a HTML

MapServer 4.6.0-beta3 is now available for download on the MapServer
website (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html). This should be the
last beta before the release candidate (early next week) and the final
release just in time for MUM3. Once again, we invite experienced users
to contribute to the release process by testing the betas with their
applications and reporting any issues via bugzilla.

The list of fixes since beta2 is included below.

Version 4.6.0-beta3 (2005-05-27)
--------------------------------

- Bug 1298 : enable Attribution element in wms Capabilities XML

- Bug 1354: Added a regex wrapper, allowing MapServer to build with PHP
   compiled with its builtin regex

- Bug 1364: HTML legend templates: support [if] tests on "group_name" in
   leg_group_html blocks, and for "class_name" in leg_class_html blocks.

- Bug 1149: From WMS 1.1.1, SRS are given in individual tags in root Layer
   element.

- First pass at properly handling XML exceptions from CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
   layers. Still needs some work. (bug 1246)

- map.h/mapdraw.c: removed MAX/MIN macros in favour of MS_MAX/MS_MIN.

- Bug 1341, 1342 : Parse the unit parameter for DWithin filter request.
   Set the layer tolerance and toleranceunit with paramaters parsed.

- Bug 1277 : Support of multiple logical operators in Filter Encoding.

- mapwcs.c: If msDrawRasterLayerLow() fails, ensure that the error message
   is posted as a WCS exception.

- Added experimental support for "labelcache_map_edge_buffer" metadata to
   define a buffer area with no labels around the edge of a map (bug 1353)

I am not aware of any significance to spaces in MAP files.  However, I
think it is a good idea to always put strings in quotes regardless of
spaces.  I would not always expect a line like DATA BIG FILE to work, as
opposed to DATA "BIG FILE".

want a point layer.  I have a shape (shp) file that has approximately 50-75
points on it.  Each point represents a specific location on my map (maybe
that's obvious?)

 

Do I need to specify the layer as a POINT layer?  Do I need to specify a
SYMBOL?

 

Any ideas?

Ryan

Have you switched on the php errors messages in the php.ini file ?
What does your apache error log tell ?

Hi folks:

I haven't been able to access the MapServer mailing list's web interface
(http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mapserver-users.html) for the past two days.
The host responds to pings, but it appears the web server is down, as my
connection attemps to port 80 are refused.

This really affects me because I receive the daily-HTML-digest version of
the list, and so for the past few days I've been unable to read any of the
posts, since the digest delivers them as links to lists.umn.edu. Could
someone please look into it? (I can't believe I'm the only one affected by
this!)

Thanks,
-SM

Ryan,

Your original question, and apparent grasp of the answer indicate you
have not done much homework on mapserver yet. You might find you get
better answers if you ask better questions. Remember, it is not our job
to help you -- we help you if we feel like it -- so it is *your* job to
make us feel like it.

Whatever changed here, my problems building mapserver with PHP
Mapscript on Redhat Enterprise 4 are now resolved.  Before this change,
whenever I built with PHP support, all variants would core dump loading
a mapfile (CGI, Python, PHP, etc.).

I have been working to build mapserver as a clean RPM with Redhat's PHP
and Postgres packages, so that only minimal changes from the base OS
need to be made.  I made a slight modification to the PHP packages to
install the regex object files in /usr/include/php/regex (with the
include files), and built a few support packages.

Almost all of the packages that I've used are based on the
mappinghacks.com packages, and I'm releasing my modified versions here:

http://www.socsci.umn.edu/~buysse/mapserver/

If anyone's interested in them, I'm going to be maintaining versions of
these packages for RHEL 4.

Message-ID: <TUE.31.MAY.2005.103501.0600.BFRASERGEOANALYTIC.COM>

Leopold,

  For some reason your web server is not passing through the "content-type"
of the xml data returned by mapserver.

  For trouble-shooting a URL, I try the WMS url (with VERSION and
REQUEST=GetCapabilities) in Internet Explorer.  If IE shows well-formatted
XML then there's nothing wrong with the data transfer.  In your case, IE
wants to save the data as a file, indicating it doesn't know what format the
data is in (and most other user-agents such as ArcExplorer will have similar
problems).

  I tried your URL in CadCorp's SIS MapBrowser
(http://www.cadcorp.com/products_geographical_information_systems/map_browse
r.htm), and it worked fine.  It must be a lot more tolerant of
"content-type" problems than most WMS clients.

  I saved the data returned from your URL as a file.  It looks like valid
GetCapabilities XML, so I would guess the problem is with your web server
(or any ASP, PHP, etc you've got between the server and the client).

Brent Fraser

Tom,

see Paul Ramsey's comparison:

http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2003-June/002651.html

This is still the state of affairs since not much was done at the MySQL
side.

Best regards,
Bart

If you're asking about the new spatial capabilities in
MySQL 4.1 -- They are not yet supported at all by any
of MapServer's components. I asked about the status of
that a few months back, and it wasn't even on the
horizon.

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but the move from 4.6beta2 to 
4.6beta3 has disabled the use of the parameter "TRANSPARENT ON/OFF" within 
OUTPUTFORMAT.
 Just a reminder for the 4.6 documentation that still lists the parameter.
 Thanks,

Hi,

What are the MySQL Spatial Extensions requirements for linux ?

Spatial support in MySQL is like PostGIS?  ( a separated package that
you extract and build against a PostgreSQL installation)

Or MySQL Spatial Extensions is an "--option" from ./configure command?

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. My map file is simple as below:

MAP
 SHAPEPATH "d:\work\gis\kornburi\data\"
 FONTSET "./fonts/fonts.list"
 SYMBOLSET "./symbols/symbol.sym"
 EXTENT 730000 1550000 935000 1750000
 UNITS kilometers
 SIZE 600 450
 IMAGETYPE gif
 TRANSPARENT on
SCALEBAR
 POSITION ll
 STATUS off
 COLOR 255 0 255
 IMAGECOLOR 255 255 0
 UNITS KILOMETERS
 INTERVALS 3
 STYLE 0
END
PROJECTION
    "proj=utm"
    "zone=47"
    "a=6377276.345"
    "b=6356075.413"
    "towgs84=209,818,290,0,0,0,0"
    "units=m"
    "no_defs"
END
LAYER
...
...
END

My problem is that scalebar showed wrong distance. Everything is ok but scalebar. I told you last message that true distance it should be 18.3 km but scalebar showed 18300 km. I thought if this number was correct, then the unit should be meter not kilometer.

Dear all,

Whether or not I embeded scalebar in map, it showed wrong distance, e.g. it should be 18.3 km but it showed 18300 km. Nontheless I use projection or not. What I have to specially set to get right scalebar?

TIA

Well, setting TRANSPARENT ON/OFF (or TRUE/FALSE) in an OUTPUTFORMAT
block in the mapfile works for me with 4.6beta3, and the resulting image
has the right transparency (I used GIF for my tests).

What happens or doesn't happen exactly for you? Is it that you get a
mapfile parsing error, or simply that transparency appears to not be
working but you get no error message? Are you sure it's not something
else that changes in your test environment (or a broken build)? Perhaps
you could file a bug if you are able to include a simple testcase to
reproduce.

Hello list serve,

I have a map file that I am trying to implement a number of layers in (line,
raster, and polygon).  I have a "river" layer, a "lakes" layer, a
"state_shapes" layer and a "basin" layer.  For some reason I am unable to
implement the "lakes" and "states_shapes" layers simultaneously.  Could
someone scan over my map file code to see if I've made any errors?  I can
implement each layer individually, but when combined, one of the layers goes
away.

Thanks in advance.

This code is an example of how to use the builtin mapserver error
messages.  If the script actually DIES on the ms_newMapObj and doesn't
run anything after that, then you need to look into PHP error
messages.

<?
ms_ResetErrorList();

dl("php_mapscript.so");
$map = ms_newMapObj("simple.map");
echo "didn't die";
$img = $map->draw();

$error = ms_GetErrorObj();
while($error AND $error->code != MS_NOERR) {
  printf("Error in %s: %s<br>\n", $error->routine, $error->message);
  $error = $error->next();
}
?>

Hi Daniel,
 I'm using the build of 4.6beta3 for windows that was made available for 
download from maptools.org <http://maptools.org> today.
 If TRANSPARENT is within the outputformat, mapserver fails and returns the 
following error message:
 "GD/JPEG OUTPUTFORMAT jpeg has TRANSPARENT set ON, but this is not 
supported. It has been disabled."
 Leaving TRANSPARENT out of the outputformat block prevents the error 
message, and the map appears to be generating properly including 
transparancy. Previously I had to have TRANSPARENT ON in my outputformat 
block to enable transparancy.
 If this was the intended effect, then just the 4.6 documentation needs to 
be updated for the syntax change. I brought this up because the change was 
not listed in the revision history in history.txt, and the mapserver log and 
our flash interface don't show this error message, leaving me to try it out 
in an HTML template when our flash site failed.
 Thanks again,
Ken

Hello all,

The SWIG typemap for imageObj->write is ready for testing at:
http://www.highwayengineer.co.medina.oh.us/temp/mapscript.tar.gz

There are 3 files included:
medina1.patch - the patch file containing the code changes.
medina1_autogen.patch - the patch file containing changes to the SWIG
output if you don't feel like re-SWIG'ing yourself.
nonwrite.cgi - sample code for using the 'write' method in both GD:: &
Image::Magick.

Requirements:
Mapserver & MapScript 4.4.2.
Perl 5.8.0 + (this uses PerlIO vs. stdio).

Thanks go to the Steve Lime, MS-team(et. al.), Sean Gillies, & Chip
Salzenberg.

Lowell

P.S. The changes for map->processXTemplate are also included but I have
not tested those yet.

Well, better late than never ;) Create a bug in our bugzilla and let's 
get this done. Better if this is tested against MapServer 4.6 beta 3 if 
y'all want this in the next big release.

 I'm using ellipse or vector type symbols for the hatch, not pixmap, but 
"TRANSPARANCY ALPHA" is set within my layer, which allows the blank parts of 
the hatch to be seen through. 
 Previously you also had to set transparent on in the outputformat or else 
transparancy alpha within the layers failed. Going further back in time, 
transparent on used to be set outside the outputformat block at the top of 
the mapfile for the same effect. 
 But I guess this is all moot since transparancy alpha works properly now 
without transparent on in the outputformat. Hopefully our conversation will 
point others in the right direction if they encountered the same issue. 
 Cheers,
Ken

Subject: ArcMap - GetFeatureInfo URL missing the LAYERS parameter?
Message-ID: <WED.1.JUN.2005.100339.0800.BONNIE.STEWARTDLI.WA.GOV.AU>

Hi all,
 
I'm working on a few WMS services for my organisation (still very much in the development stage), and I'm testing my mapfiles in IE 6, ArcMap 9.0, ArcExplorer 4, ArcExplorer 9, and Gaia 2.1.0.
 
Thus far I've been unable to get GetFeatureInfo requests (via the Identify tool) working in ArcMap - if I use Identify on a particular layer, I always get "Nothing found", and if I use it for a group of layers, I get a blank response. Querying the same area in Gaia 2.0.1 works fine, either on that layer or the group as a whole. 

I've used my webserver logs to compare the URLs used by both Gaia and ArcMap for GetFeatureInfo Requests. Below is the entry in the webserver log for ArcMap's GetFeatureInfo request (edited for readability & path removed). 

2005-06-01 00:33:24 10.0.0.11 GET /scripts/mapserv.exe 

map=<path>\wms_1-250k.map
&VERSION=1.1.1
&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo
&SRS=EPSG:4326
&BBOX=104.859217282479,-53.2952,162.115782717521,-2.5148
&WIDTH=946
&HEIGHT=839
&QUERY_LAYERS=hotspots_200505161346_P_A_MOD14.shp
&STYLES=
&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml
&&INFO_FORMAT=text/html
&FEATURE_COUNT=50
&X=343&Y=283 

If I reverse engineer this into the appropriate URL and test it in IE, I get an XML document back containing the error "msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS server error. Invalid layer(s) given in the LAYERS parameter." 

Now the interesting part: if I then add on to the URL "&LAYERS=hotspots_200505161346_P_A_MOD14.shp" (same layer as the QUERY_LAYERS parameter), then I get a nifty response back - features are found and displayed via my html template. Incidentally, Gaia's URL does include this parameter. 

Is this a bug in ArcMap's WMS compliance? How can I get around it?? 



All advice much appreciated! :) 


Cheers, 


Bonnie

Bonnie,

We came across the same problem with ESRI clients using the GetFeatureInfo
request.
The Layers parameter in the OGC WMS spec does imply that the Layers parameter
is required.

We followed it up with ESRI in Australia and they came back with this
response;

Thanks Geoff.
 
I have asked the same question in the ESRI user forums so it will be interesting to see what their response is.
 
Perhaps if anyone else has the same problem, it might be a good idea to post to the ESRI forum to let them know and hopefully increase the priority for fixing this problem.
