FW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Upgrade Problems - Additional Info

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Everyone,

Follow up to this thread.

It seemed that an updated gdal fixed this issue.  The gdal used with the
distro Tim was using was 1.2.6.

Having said this, where can one fetch a Win32 dist of MapServer 4.6.1 /
PHP 5.0.5 / GDAL 1.3.1 ?  I'm guessing this will be a hot item (alot of
my stakeholders share Tim's type of configuration and connection
bindings).

Thanks for Frank and Tim for their guidance and testing support.

Cheers

..Tom

Thanks for the info.  I don't think these instances are using WKT/GML as
input or output, if that's what you mean.  Basic .ovf connection to
provide WMS output.  Is there anything we can do on our end to help with
this issue?  The problem is basically:

ENVIRONMENT
===========

OS: Win32
MapServer: 4.6.1 windows dist (non ms4w package from
http://maptools.org/dl)
Layer Data connection: OGR .ovf connection to M$ SQL Server 2000

SCENARIO 1
==========

- invoke OGC:WMS GetMap request against said layer with coordinates
formatted with 8 decimals

http://cabin.cciw.ca/cabin_ows.asp?version=1.1.1&service=WMS&request=Get
Map&layers=CABINPoints&styles=&bbox=-141.00000000,35.18749999,-51.999999
99,90.81250000&format=image/png&srs=EPSG:4326&width=500&height=300

Result: works

SCENARIO 2
==========

- invoke OGC:WMS GetMap request against said layer with coordinates
formatted with 9 decimals

http://cabin.cciw.ca/cabin_ows.asp?version=1.1.1&service=WMS&request=Get
Map&layers=CABINPoints&styles=&bbox=-141.000000002,35.187499998,-51.9999
99997,90.812500001&format=image/png&srs=EPSG:4326&width=500&height=300

Result: watch server timeout ensue

NOTES
=====
- this does not exist when the layer data connection is a shapefile, for
example
