Thanks all for the suggestions, i'll have a look through and see what 
works best for me.

I'm using MapScript so perhaps that may be the best way forward.  The 
multiple INCLUDEs is a nice thought too.

Cheers,

Hi,
   
  I think so. I don't know how to setup the rights. I used IIS to create an virtual directory and than I gave the write rights
   
  What other setups should be made?

Write rights to what/whom? There is in most setups a special account for web
applications/processes, I think it's called IWAM_ or
something like that (don't have access to a IIS WindowsBox right now).
That's the user that has to have the write rights, and of course the
anonymous Web user account (IUSR_) has to have read rights to
be able to 'collect' the temp files...

Subject: converting a .map file into php mapscript
Message-ID: <WED.1.NOV.2006.122740.0000.MMICHELLIGMAIL.COM>

I'm trying to learn mapscript by converting a .map file into php mapscript
that does not use the file.
It's going well except for not being able to duplicate a very simple piece
of mapfile to mapscript.

The main problem is FEATURE I think.

I have also manipulating the layer with php and have success except for
changing the text or the point, again the features.

Anyone got a spare minute to set me straight

    LAYER
        NAME "credits"
        STATUS DEFAULT
        TRANSFORM FALSE
        TYPE ANNOTATION
        FEATURE
            POINTS
                200 150
            END
            TEXT 'Hello world.  Mapserver rocks.'
        END
        CLASS
            LABEL
                TYPE BITMAP
                COLOR 0 0 0
            END
        END
    END

This is my attempt:
//credits

//add layer to map
$layerCredits = ms_newLayerObj($map);
$layerCredits->set("name", "writeSomething");
$layerCredits->set("type", MS_LAYER_ANNOTATION);
$layerCredits->set("transform", MS_FALSE);
$layerCredits->set("status", MS_DEFAULT);


//make shape
$shapeCredits =  ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
$shapeCredits->text ="This should be on the map but is not";

//make line
$lineCredits = ms_newLineObj();

//make point
$pointCredits = ms_newPointObj();
$pointCredits->setXY(50,20);

//add point to line
$lineCredits->add($pointCredits);


//add line to shape
$shapeCredits->add($lineCredits);

//add shape to layer
$layerCredits->addFeature($shapeCredits);

//set up  class
$classCredits  = ms_newClassObj($layerCredits);

//set up label
$classCredits->label->set("position", MS_CR);
$classCredits->label->set("type", MS_BITMAP);
$classCredits->label->color->setRGB(255,0,125);

dBox uses mode=map for pan and zoom operations. In mode=map no image
is written to the tmp dir. Your problem is probably that dLegend is
not configured correctly. First, comment out the 3 dLegend lines in
the onopen() functin and see if that fixes it. Also look at the
Javascript consloe.

Hello there. I am brand new to Map Server. I have my map up and running:
 
http://maps.cityofpt.us <http://maps.cityofpt.us/> 
 
but I am having difficulties trying to "zoom to" a feature, in this case
a Parcel.
 
As you can see from the website, if you start at the full extent, the
Parcel Search and Parcel Layers are highlighted. If you plug in a parcel
number (931402302 for example) then click on the map, you can see a
small RED highlighted shape. If you zoom in manually, you will see that
this is the parcel number entered above.
 
Here is my issue, I can't figure out how to zoom in automatically when
the Parcel and Parcel Layers are active & a vaild Parcel Number is
entered & the map is clicked.  I am sure there is a way to do this but I
can't figure out how. Is there something obvious I have over looked? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
   
  I have a database on MS SQL Server Express and an ASPX application. I managed, with help from the list, to install dBox. I want to map the query results on the mapserver, but I don't know how to do it with dBox. Example: after a query I get point or polygon features that represent elements at risk or areas with high risk. Is it possible to see them on the map by clicking on one of the query results?
   
  Thank you

Message-ID: <THU.2.NOV.2006.104632.0100.MARKDEBLOIS.NL>

Hi all,

I am struggling getting a proper WMS service going in Winkel Triple
projection. I am using the code below as I have not been able to find an
EPSG code for Winkel Triple.

PROJECTION
  "proj=wintri"
  "ellps=WGS84"
  "lat_1=45"
END

The data itself is in EPSG:4326.

The GetMap request spits out a good looking projected image but getting
the WMS up and running is causing the trouble. I have a feeling the
problem is related to the WMS_SRS tag belonging to the MAP section. As I
don?t have a EPSG code I do not know what information to include. Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: Blank images with mapscript in redhat enterprise 4
Message-ID: <THU.2.NOV.2006.134237.0100.HIGON_JOSGVA.ES>

Hello,
I have a problem with an application developped with mapscript, I recive 
empty images randomly. Initially, the application was developped in 
windows and it worked fine, when we put it in linux it began to fail 
(readhat enterprise 4 Nahant). Now, we have installed these versions:

httpd-2.0.55
php-5.0.5
postgres-8.0.3
mapserver-4.8.4
gdal-1.3.2
gd-2.0.33
....

I've tried with newer and older versions of mapsrver, gd, php (php4 too) 
, ... but it continues failing. I'm desperate !!
All layers are in debug mode, however when the appplication crashes, the 
output log (error_log apache's) stops be writed and any messages can 
give me any clue.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance

Please do not cross-post questions to the -users and -dev list. I have 
intentionally sent this response only to the -users list since that's 
where it belongs.

A few things to try/check:

1- You write that the application crashes? Do you mean that you see 
segmentation fault messages in the error_log? If not then what are the 
symptoms of the "crash"? You also write that you get blank images 
randomly... so is the problem that you get blank images, or that the 
requests crash/abort and return only partial responses?

2- Is it possible that your RHE system is running PHP as an Apache 
module and not PHP as a CGI? Can you please confirm that?

3- I'd recommend that your use MapServer 4.10 for your tests, it 
contains a fix for bug 1322 that might be related to your problem

4- In general when you get intermittent seg faults they are caused by 
conflicting libraries used by one of Apache, PHP or MapServer/MapScript. 
For instance if your PHP includes the GD extension and uses PHP's 
built-in version of GD then that might be a source of conflicts with the 
system GD used by MapScript. You could try rebuilding PHP without the GD 
extension, or if you need the GD extension then use the system GD, i.e. 
the same GD that is used by MapServer and PHP MapScript.

I do something like that in one of my applications. An ASP page
displays data from a SQL Server db. Each record has a "Map It" link.
There has to be at least one common field in the SQL Server data and
the shape files. When the link gets clicked it calls mapserver with
smoething like:
  mapserv.exe?map=my.map
  &mode=itemnquery
  &qitem=pidn
  &qlayer=join_region_spatial
  &mapext=shapes
  &savequery=true
  &qstring=22-41-16-33-4-11-004

itemnquery tells mapserver to highlight, and zoom to, the objects
qitem is the name of the field that is common
qlayer is the layer that the objects are on
mapext tells it to zoom to that object(s)
savequery is optional
qstring is the value of the object.qitem you want slected

Also you need to setup a querymap in your map file.

My example is at:

Hi,

 

Could someone give us a brief description on how to use the STYLE / SIZEITEM
property on points data ?

 

Like: what are the other related properties, what kind of attributes/fields
are supported ?

 

It would be very helpful

Stephane, 
 
To use this, you would add a column to your shapefile or dataset that contained an integer value for how large you would like the symbol for that feature to be drawn.  
 
This allows you to set different symbol sizes for each feature as opposed to setting up separate classes with distinctive styles in the layer in the map file.

You may want to try 'ONU_ID', I notice that for the label text you use uppercase for the field name.  I am not sure if case sensitivity is an issue in this case with PostGIS.

Nope ;)

 

Already tried this
(I think that for shapefiles you have to use uppercase
but for postgis it doesn?t seem to matter)

Hi,

unfortunately i have only to report the same problem.

A getfeatureinfo request on a postgis layer with data coming from a
select that uses a join returns always "no results". Changing the data
to a simple "select *" gives wonderful results.

Cheers, Michael

P.S.: details, if needed, coming shortly

Subject: WMS GetFeatureInfo on joined PostGIS layer

Hi,

oops, I was just again reading through the manuals, and for my problem
i'm pretty sure, that the missing oid column/index, when using a
special select clause, prevents mapserver/postgis from returning
results.

Could that be the problem with your postgis-joined-tables problem, James?

Excerpt from postgis docs:
"Mapserver requires unique identifiers for each spatial record when
doing queries, and the PostGIS module of Mapserver uses the PostgreSQL
oid value to provide these unique identifiers."

We'll see. Cheers, Michael

From erics at AMERI-TITLE.COM  Thu Nov  2 12:15:14 2006
From: erics at AMERI-TITLE.COM (Eric Shuman)
Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2006 12:15:14 -0800
Subject: INCLUDE not working
Message-ID: <THU.2.NOV.2006.121514.0800.ERICSAMERITITLE.COM>

I am trying to update a functioning map file to use the INCLUDE directive
for all of my layer definitions. I have used one of my LAYER directives as a
new map file and inserted an INCLUDE in my current map file.

   INCLUDE "/full-path-to-file/newfile.map"

I get this error

   Warning: [MapServer Error]: msLoadMap(): Parsing error near
(INCLUDE):(line 133) in ....

I have upgraded my mapserver version to 4.10.0.  See below for my full
version info. The Layer directive and the map file work without the INCLUDE.

What am I missing??

Hubert,

I've forgot that the TEMPLATEPATTERN should also be set in the mapfile like:

MAP
  ...
  TEMPLATEPATTERN ""
  ..
END

I've also attached my template.html should be placed along with the mapfile.

If you would rather set the templatepattern with the query string like 
..&map_templatepattern=&..  we could modify msLoadMapString accordingly.

Tamas Szekeres

You may want to try 'ONU_ID', I notice that for the label text you use
uppercase for the field name.  I am not sure if case sensitivity is an issue

Stephane, 

 

To use this, you would add a column to your shapefile or dataset that
contained an integer value for how large you would like the symbol for that
feature to be drawn.  

 

This allows you to set different symbol sizes for each feature as opposed to
setting up separate classes with distinctive styles in the layer in the map
file.

He's refering to the Mapserv object. It may have been called something
different earlier
in its life.

Yes, the extent can change and there are two reasons:

1) the user has explicitly triggered something that computes a new
scale (e.g. a zoom, pan or
box zoom)

2) that computed extent must be adjusted to the map size (imagine
dragging a tall, thin zoom
box)

Depending on where you put alerts in mapserv.js you may see changes
before or after these
cases. I've not implemented accessor functions everywhere so you need
to access the object
members directly. For example, the extent member contains the extent of
the currently
displayed map. 

When you say your zoombox doesn't work. Is that a dBox zoombox or your
own code? If I
remember back to the days when I started dBox an error like that has to
do with the order
of coordinates handed to whatever is drawing the rectangle. Perhaps it
is expecting
minx. miny, maxx, maxy and your sending the reverse? Just a thought.

i've popped up using alert(this.extent) but depending on where you
insert
that alert() in mapserv.js its value changes! i've looked through
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/tools/dbox/docs/jsdocs/ but can't get the
values
contained in the map object. is there a dbox guru lurking on this list
;)?

i've also tried making my own zoombox but can't get the zoombox to
follow
the cursor if the cursor is dragged from right-bottom to left-top in
the
negative direction. any help with that?
i admit this is not strictly a mapserver question but then again
there's no
dbox list.

Hi there,

must have changed something over the last couple of weeks that  
mapserver didn't liked...

When querying a country on my worldmap the country normally is  
highlighted in yellow and all other countries appear in the given  
classification color. But now all countries are colored in different  
grey tones, but still representing correctly the classes. It seems  
almost as if the PNG had been transformed into grayscale; but as the  
ocean still appears in blue, it's not the case.

Has anybody an idea what could cause that problem?

Thanks for any hints,

Stefan

the label "RIVER" I would like to display as "R   I   V   E    R".  How can 
I do this?

TIA.

Hi, yes I will try to illustrate:
   
  I have attached 2 pictures: image1 and image2
   
  Image1 shows a point and around the point are 4 labels as text. I want to replace the labels as text with images (png files)
   
  Thank you

Hi 

Is it possible to use images to represent labels?

I have a point. Arround the point I need to represent some labels. I

can do this by setting-up the ANGLE in LABELS in MAP file. My question

is if I can replace the text from the labels with some images.

Example: in the central-upper part should be a image with an compass

instead of writing North and on the central-right side should be an 
image with the sun instead of writing Sunrise

Is it possible?


Thank you in advance


William

Message-ID: <FRI.3.NOV.2006.150505.0200.KRISTJANTARKVARASTUUDIO.EE>

Hello,

after upgrading to Mapserver4.8.4 my status=embed scalebars stopped working.

Searching the documentation about this problem I found that there is written:
---------
Please note that embedding scalebars require 
that you define a markerset. In essence the scalebar becomes a custom 
marker that is handled just like any other annotation.)

---------

what kind of markerset is it (I couldn't find any more references to it)? 
Does anybody have an example of the mapfile and markerset file where embed scalebar is working?


Scalebar definition from my map-file

SCALEBAR
    STATUS embed
    INTERVALS 3
    SIZE 150 3
    COLOR 0 0 0
    position lr
    TRANSPARENT OFF

Subject: python mapscript with IIS
Message-ID: <FRI.3.NOV.2006.062202.0800.WILLIAMPAUL28YAHOO.COM>

Hi again to everybody:
   
  I am trying to use the example provided with dBox, and to combine mapscript python with dbox on IIS. I have installed dBox and seems to work, but I have problems with mapscript python. These are steps which I did so far:
   
  I have downloaded a installed on windows xp sp 2 with IIS, mapserver 4.10. I used the the binaries from MS4W, latest stable version from www.maptools.org 
  I have downloaded and installed Python 2.4.3
  I have copied mapscript.py, mapscript.pyd and _mapscript.pyd into Python24/Lib/site-packages
  I have copied make_dlegend_xml.py. make_dlegend_xml_cgi.py, make_dlegend_xml.pyc into c:/inetput/scripts/
  I have modified the example.html to point the correct path
  In javascript console I get the error:
  Error: objDomTree.getElements("server")[0] has no properties
  Yet another dlegend initialization error. Implies that dlegend.js has received some data, but not in the expected form
   
  When I test the mapscript python installation I get the error:
  CGI Error  The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: 
    
Traceback (most recent call last):    File "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mapscript_test.py", line 2, in ?      import mapscript    File "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mapscript.py", line 8, in ?      map = mapscript.mapObj(map_path+map_file)  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'mapObj'  

I have attached the file for testing mapscript installation

Does someone already use mapscript python with IIS? or someone successfully installed dBox example on IIS?

Unfortunately I need to use IIS and not Apache, so I can't change IIS with Apache

 Any help would be appreciated

William

so mapserv()'s an object with cgi variables stored in array as properties?

well i insert the alert after line 50 and then it pops up 3 different values
on a simple reload. me thinks it might be easier if i can just get dbox to
spit out the variable values as get.

about my zoombox, it's a dhtml problem- the damn zoombox won't draw from

Subject: Problems using querymap with php/mapscript
Message-ID: <FRI.3.NOV.2006.123044.0500.JBW2003EARTHLINK.NET>

I want to use a querymap to add transparent hatch symbols to a true 
color WMS layer. I have been able to create transparent hatch symbols in 
256 color mode that work as a regular map and also as a querymap. When I 
change the outputformat to RGBA, then the regular output correctly 
display transparent hatch symbols, but the hatch pattern produced by the 
querymap is not transparent. Here is an example code amd mapfile:

$this_layer = $map->getLayerByName('gapman');
$this_layer->set('status', MS_OFF);
if (isset($key_gapman)) $this_layer->set('status', MS_ON);
$layer_index = $this_layer->index;
for($i=0; $i<count($key_gapman); $i++){
   @$map->queryByIndex($layer_index,1,$key_gapman[$i], MS_TRUE);
}

     LAYER
          CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
          NAME "gapman"
          CONNECTION "user=postgres  dbname=mydb host=localhost"
          DATA "wkb_geometry FROM steward_gap_man"
          STATUS OFF
          TYPE POLYGON
          TRANSPARENCY alpha
          CLASS   
                STYLE
             SYMBOL 'hatch-lines'
             COLOR 255 0 0     
                   ANGLE 60
                   SIZE 10
               END 
                STYLE
                  WIDTH 2
                  OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
               END            
               TEMPLATE "dummy.html"
          END         
     END


I have a second problem related to displaying the WMS layer map. When I 
output the standard map the WMS layer displays correctly. However, when 
I display the querymap the WMS layer is not correct. When it is first 
displayed it does not align with the other layers, and when I zoom it 
gets worse. Here is my code:

//creating main map
$mapname = "map".rand(0,9999999).".png";
$mspath = "/var/www/html/temp/";
$maploc = "{$mspath}{$mapname}";
$map->setSize($win_w, $win_h);
$map->zoompoint($zoom, $click_point, $win_w, $win_h, $old_extent);

//creating querymap
//$map->querymap->set('width', $win_w);
//$map->querymap->set('height', $win_h);
$queryimage = $map->drawQuery();
$queryimage->saveImage($maploc);

//display main map, not used if querymap displayed
//$mapimage = $map->draw();
//$mapimage->saveImage($maploc);

Subject: no output for web template with 4.10 cgi
Message-ID: <FRI.3.NOV.2006.182857.0100.PIERO.CAVALIERIHEIDI.IT>

Hi all,
I use cgi 4.10 (tried both from DMSolutions and TWtools)  and do a 
request like this:
http://localhost/Scripts/mapserv.exe?map=D:/Web/Site/HGis/trentino.map&layer=DTM&layer=ECW&mode=browse 


My web template file is an xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<map>
 <img value="[img]"/>
 <mapwidth value="[mapwidth]"/>
 <mapheight value="[mapheight]"/>
 <scalebar value="[scalebar]"/>
 <referenceMap value="[ref]"/>
 <imgxy value="[center]"/>
 <imgext value="[mapext]"/>
 <legend>
     <![CDATA[
     [legend]
     ]]>
 </legend>
</map>


With 4.6 cgi this worked fine.
Then I had to format/reinstall my WindowsXp and tried 4.10, but with the 
same web application I have the following cgi output:

msDrawMap(): Layer 5 (laghi), 0.079s msDrawMap(): Layer 11 (i_dep_p), 0.078s

instead of the xml file from web template.  In temp dir I have all the 
images created for the  request (map, scalebar ecc.), so cgi installation
seems to be ok.

I don't try using the old 4.6 (because I don't have it any more). Anyone 
could give an advice please ?

Thanks

Can somebody point me to install instructions for outdated versions of
mapserver?

I'm trying to install what I beleive is version 3.3.something and the
INSTALL document just points to the umn.edu website.  Where I find that
this version isn't even available these days.  Where in the source files
can I confirm exactly which version this is?  The original downloaded
file is long gone.

Beleive me I'd love to just install the current version but that's not
an option at this time.  I'm installing on a RHEL ES 3 system.

An alternative would be to copy over any necessary files from a RH 7
system to a RHEL ES 3 system if that's possible but I would need to find
out what files would be needed and any configuration changes required.

I can speak to how this was originally set up. I believe Ed has made 
some changes. There are approximately 10 servers with the USGS DOQQ data 
organized into one degree blocks and spread across the servers in a 
somewhat random order. When a map request comes it it is directed to the 
system that owns the one degree block at the center of the map. All 
systems are cross mounted using a Samba file system because of its 
ability to recover from connection failures, which NFS can not do, so 
every system looks like it has the full compliment of DOQQS.

I'll let Ed jump in to say more if he wants.

At Where2getit, we have a cluster with 8-9 servers behind a linux load 
balancer. The load balancer monitors the client systems and their load 
and dispatches requests to them respectively. These systems are all 
severing vector data, and each is full compliment of data and software. 
In fact each is a mirror of the master for that cluster. We can pull any 
server from the load for maintenance and the remainder will handle the 
load. If a server has a hardware failure the load balancer will remove 
it from the load and sysadmins are paged. If we need more capacity, we 
can load the basic OS on a box, mirror it from the master and add it to 
the load.

A quick search of the list on transparency would probably get you a good
answer.  

Take a look at TRANSPARENCY here:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer

Remember that TRANSPARENCY actually acts like you might expect a term
called OPACITY to work.  In other words TRANSPARENCY 10 is quite
see-through and TRANSPARENCY 90 is not very see-through.  

Of course, pick TRANSPARENCY 50 and it won't be confusing at all! ; /

As a background for my application I would like to overlay a colored
shape 
file on top of a black and white  hillshade .tif.  Is it possible, in
the 
map file, to set the colored shape file to have some transparency so
that 
the hillshade is visible?

Thanks,

Sam Young

Would you be so kind as to file a quick bug about this? It should work with annotation
as well...

That's it !!
Thank you, I didn't notice it was an annotation layer (I got it from another
mapfile...)

This could be a bug specific to annotation layers. If you turn your layer
type to POINT does it work?

Nope ;)

 

Already tried this*(I think that for shapefiles you have to use uppercase
but for postgis it doesn?t seem to matter)

You may want to try 'ONU_ID', I notice that for the label text you use
uppercase for the field name.  I am not sure if case sensitivity is an issue
in this case with PostGIS.

Ok, but the problem is that when I do this nothing happens (the map doesn?t

Stephane, 

 

To use this, you would add a column to your shapefile or dataset that
contained an integer value for how large you would like the symbol for that
feature to be drawn.  

 

This allows you to set different symbol sizes for each feature as opposed to
setting up separate classes with distinctive styles in the layer in the map
file.

This may be a configuration error, but I'm stumped.  I'm getting an  
error when trying to use ogr to connect to mysql via phpmapscript.   
The error:

PHP Warning:  [MapServer Error]: msOGRLayerOpen(): OGR support is not  
available.

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.4.8.

Things seem to be happy, gmap is working just fine.

My output from phpinfo shows:

The layer in my map is pretty simple:

My ovf file is:

When I perform ' ogrinfo /Users/kippster/tiger/scanner.ovf -al' it  
spews out all of the data points in the db just fine.


Any ideas?

You need INPUT=OGR to have access to vector functions in GDAL/OGR via
Mapserver.  It looks like you only have GDAL enabled.  Look at the
--with-ogr switch when building Mapserver.

Did you build MapServer and GDAL yourself?  A Aaron pointed out, you  
might have missed the --with-ogr option in mapserver, it's not  
automatic when you enable gdal support.

Alternatively, have you looked at my MapServer package for OSX?  If  
there is something missing that you need, let me know.

Is anyone already implementing this?  I assume someone has written  
some transformers to help make a transition to XML-based map files.

QGIS has a python script for converting from QGIS project files   
(XML) into MapServer map files.  Perhaps there are already some well- 
used XML formats that we can simply use?  Perhaps no one cares,  
that's fine too ;)

Thanks William & Aaron...great to have such quick response.

I did end up building it on my own -- and boy was that fun :-)  I was  
following the information (thanks btw!) on http://www.kyngchaos.com/ 
macosx/install/mapserv   -- but grabbed the 4.10.0 version instead of  
the 4.6.0 version...

Here is the configure comman I used:

./configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --with-proj=/usr/local -- 
with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal- 
config --with-gd=/usr/local --with-xpm=/usr/X11R6 --with-php=/usr/ 
local --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config --with-wfs --with-wcs -- 
with-wfsclient --with-wmsclient --with-freetype=/usr/:qX11R6/bin/ 
freetype-config

I swear I tried to use a package install earlier on in the process,  
but perhaps I should drop back and try that again...

Thanks again,

Well... did you build GDAL with OGR support?  Do the following:

[aaronr at pearl ~]$ /usr/local/bin/gdal-config --ogr-enabled
yes
[aaronr at pearl ~]$

Does gdal-config say that OGR is enabled?  If not you need to go back one
more step and look at how you built GDAL/OGR.  Did you use the ogr-all
target when building?  Here is an example:

./configure
make ogr-all
make install

Don't give up yet... you are close!

Those directions are out-of-date, though they may still be usable -  
I'm focusing on the binaries nowadays.

Well, since the ogrinfo command works, there's nothing wrong with  
OGR.  But that build line for mapserver could be a problem - you  
don't need to specify the gdal-config path for the --with-ogr option,  
and in fact that may break the option.  Try it as:

--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-ogr

You gents are great...I really appreciate the help, and I can see how  
focus on the binary would be most helpful for all involved!  Sorry I  
went old school and tested out the aged instructions, a shame since  
they are so good.

I thought maybe I was going nuts (which is still not out of the  
question).  But the issue seems to be that my gdal-config is located  
in /usr/local/bin/ but the configure script was looking for it in /sw/ 
bin/.  When I initially tried the --ogr-enabled without the path, it  
yelled at me...your comments led me to the answer.

I added a symbolic link in /sw/bin/, re-ran the configure without the  
path info (for either the gdal or the ogr option), make clean, make,  
re-installed, and life is good.

The final configure command I used:

./configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --with-proj=/usr/local -- 
with-gdal --with-ogr --with-gd=/usr/local --with-xpm=/usr/X11R6 -- 
with-php=/usr/local --with-geos --with-wfs --with-wcs --with- 
wfsclient --with-wmsclient --with-freetype=/usr/:qX11R6/bin/freetype- 
config

And what php now tells me:

MapServer Version
MapServer version 4.10.0 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 SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7  
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE



Thanks for the quick responses, the great directions and all of your  
help!

Hm, Fink isn't a 'bad' thing.  But it can get in the way when you  
start off on your own.  If there's nothing you know that you use fom  
it, it would be a good idea to remove it.

If the /sw folder is there, there might be an uninstall program or  
script there or in your Applications folder.  I don't know everything  
that it installs, but at least /sw and any bits in your shell init,  
maybe some applications.

Hi,

As a part of my new project, I need to support one-to-many queries. I
have a layer with objects/buildings and each object/building can have
one or more locations inside. I have to implement a query mechanism that
can give me the attributes of each location inside a building when I
click on that building.

Is it only related to the application I am using or there is "something"
on the mapserver side that could help me? I am using Chameleon for this
project. Any suggestions?

thanks very much

Hello Dejan,

In the past I have used the join function of mapserver in combination with
some data pre-processing. I used a desktop GIS program to assign the
locations the ID of the building that they belonged to. After that it is a
simple join operation in mapserver. 

I did not have the possibility to use a Geodatabase of some sort, if you can
this can offer a better solutions.

==================================================

the content of the layer buildings in my mapfile

==================================================

LAYER  
    NAME Buildings
    DATA 'buildings.shp'
    STATUS ON
    TEMPLATE 'q_building.html'
    TYPE POLYGON
    CLASS
       COLOR 100 100 100
    END #CLASS
    JOIN
      NAME locations
      TABLE "locations.dbf"
      FROM BUILDING_ID
      TO BUILDING_ID
      TYPE one-to-many
      TEMPLATE 'q_locations.html'
    END
  END  # LAYER

==================================================

And the content of the query file: q_building.html

==================================================

[NAME]
[join_locations]

==================================================

And the content of the query file: q_locations.html

==================================================

[locations_STREET]
[locations_ADDRESS]

===================================================

In this example both tables have a field called: BUILDING_ID which is a
primary key of the BUILDINGS Table and a Foreign key inside the LOCATIONS
table. The buildings Table has a NAME attribute and the locations Table has
a STREET and a ADDRESS attribute.
So you put the [join_locations] tag inside the main layer template which
will execute the joined records template for locations that are related to
this building. 
Joined template you have to put the name of the join before the attribute
name like: [locations_STREET].

I do not know if Chameleon has limitations of working with joins. Maybe
someone else knows this.

Wim Blanken

Hi,
   
  I managed to install dBox demo from www.maptools.org, but I can run only part of the application. When I start the application I can see only the foreground layers. I check the javascript console and I get this error which I attached as html file. It seems that it can write the xml file
   
  How can I solve it?
   
  Cheers,

I don't think you have IIS configured to render any Python scripts.
IIS does not recognize the #!C:\Python24\python.exe convention.
Instead, you use IIS manager to map the .py extension to the Python
inturperter.

Open IIS manager, and properties for your web site, pick
"configuration" from the "Home Directory" tab. Under the "mappings"
tab, pick "Add":
   Executable: C:\Python24\python.exe -u %s %s
   Extension: .py
   Verbs: All
Now try your test Python script.

If you are having troubles with make_dlegend_xml_cgi.py, call it
directly with something like:

http://localhost/make_dlegend_xml_cgi.py?map=/path/to/yourMapFile.map?server=localhost

This way you will see errors that make_dlegend_xml_cgi.py produces,
not the downstream  errors that is has created in your JavaScript.
e.g. objDomTree.getElements("server")[0] has no properties

Good question.  I can tell you that I used includes again a few days ago 
on Windows, full paths, 4.10.0, with no problems.

If you think you have found a bug, maybe post a small testcase (mapfile 
and data) to the original include bug 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279).

Hi Rich:

IIS was configured to work with Python scripts. I did the configuration according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276494 

I have removed #! c:\python24\python -u from the make_dlegend_xml.py and make_dlegend_xml_cgi.py. I tried as you told me to test the script, and I get the error:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

 - <dLegend>
     <error>Missing required parameter "server"</error>  

 </dLegend>




When I look at the javascript console I see:

Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Source File: http://localhost/scripts/make_dlegend_xml_cgi.py?map=c:/inetpub/wwwroot/demo/example/itasca.map&server=localhost
Line: 2, Column: 1
Source Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>^

What is strange is that the legend appears OK and I can work with it, but it is obvious that somewhere something is wrong and I can understand where!

Thank you again

William

Is this  a somewhat HA-type cluster with all data replicated on all nodes in a certain mode? do i understand well? May a  linux HA heartbeat system good for this  kind of cluster, no?

Are you trying with make_dlegend_xml_cgi.py or make_dlegend_xml.py?
I think you've got two different errors. Be sure you're testing with
make_dlegend_xml_CGI.py. Also, try it in IE because it won't bitch
about the blank first line (see below).

That doesn't matter. Firefox always warns about that but it is not detrimental.

We use a bunch of components similar to Ultramonkey. check out their 
site or google for  "LVS" or "Linux Virtual Server" would be a good 
starting place. Yes it is a HA-type cluster with a heart-beat.

Subject: Merging data sources And blocking out sections
Message-ID: <SAT.4.NOV.2006.183419.0500.BIGJCOLUMBUS.RR.COM>

I would like to know the best way to merge data from different sources. 
For example I have a large over view 1:20000 map and several smaller 
areas of higher resolution what is the best way of overlying the two and 
not letting the lower resolution data show threw?
When you just stack the layers on top of each other you can see the 
lines on the lower resolution map meandering back en forth under the 
higher resolution data.

So is there a command to clear the extent of a layer or what is the best 
way to do this?

Subject: Compiling mapscript-csharp on Linux
Message-ID: <SUN.5.NOV.2006.013529.0500.MGLEAHYGOLDEN.NET>

Hello list,

I just finished compiling MapServer on FC6, and I was wondering about 
some errors I had when I compiled the C# mapscript library.  There is a 
line related to the MySQL support in the csharp Makefile that looks like so:

MYGIS_INC=  -I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 
-fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 
-mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE 
-fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv

If I leave it as-is, I get the following errors when I attempt to 
compile the module with make:

swig error : Unrecognized option -g
swig error : Unrecognized option -pipe
swig error : Unrecognized option -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
swig error : Unrecognized option -fexceptions
swig error : Unrecognized option -fstack-protector
swig error : Unrecognized option --param=ssp-buffer-size=4
swig error : Unrecognized option -m64
swig error : Unrecognized option -mtune=generic
swig error : Unrecognized option -fno-strict-aliasing
swig error : Unrecognized option -fwrapv
Use 'swig -help' for available options.
make: *** [interface] Error 1

So...I removed everthing on that line starting with '-g', and it 
compiled fine.  My question is whether this is something that I'm likely 
to run into trouble with later on - I don't generally use MySQL, so my 
guess is no.  If anyone has any insight related to this, I'd be 
interested to hear it.

Thanks,
Mike

Subject: How to stop raster layer being manipulated?
Message-ID: <SUN.5.NOV.2006.161656.0000.PEARSONDAVEHOTMAIL.COM>

I have the Andes raster mapping for the UK in OSGB36 format. In addition, I 
have vector GPS information in lat/long decimal degree WGS84 format. 
Additionally, I have some extra data sets also in WGS84 format (mainly 
NAVTEQ). The mapserver is interfacing to another system through mapscript 
that requires to recieve and send lat/long co-ordinates in decimal degrees.

My problem is this: when I display the composite map, I get a vertical 
"squishing" of the raster layer as (presumably) gdal is translating the 
image on the fly into WGS84 space. OSGB36 is a pretty flat (and square!)  
projection, but I end up with a nicely curved and vertically foreshortened 
one with text that is then very difficult to read.
What I would ideally like is for mapserver to not attempt to manipulate the 
raster at all, but allow it to be projected effectively in OSGB dimensions 
but with lat / long units of measure instead of the OSGB units. This would 
ideally mean that my WGS84 data would reproject into effectively a "flat" 
space but still with lat /long units. Hope that makes sense, is it possible? 
Or is it something daft I'm doing with the PROJECTION that's causing all 
this fuss, I hope so! Can anybody offer me some guidance?

Here's my map def:

Me too :)  I have a modest LVS cluster using Mapserver CGI / Mapscript 
extensively.  Seems to work very well.  The one trick is to use a LVS 
scheduler that keeps clients on the same "real server".  The main issue is 
when mapscript generates temporary files and the client has to make 
subsequent calls to the web cluster to get those temporary files.  If you 
use a round-robin scheme and not share /tmp space, you will get missing 
files.

I can't address the shared storage aspect.

HTH,
   daryl

Hi Piero.

We are also having problems with HTML templates using MapServer 4.10
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1946). It works
well using MapServer 4.8.4 so it seems there has been some changes in
version 4.10 which have affected to the HTML templates but we do not
know what. But it is rare that there are not more people affected by
this so perhaps we are doing something wrong.

Best regards,

Jorge

I have a mapfile that will only accept degrees for extents so between -180
and 180, but I need to have it working in meters.

I do this:
$map->setProjection("+proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 +k=0.999601 +x_0=400000
+y_0=-100000 +ellps=airy +units=m +no_defs", MS_TRUE);

Ist this not implemented in MapServer 4.8 ?

I found I have a problem with some layers. One of this is:

LAYER
  NAME laghi
  DEBUG on
  METADATA
    "wms_title" "laghi"
    "DESCRIPTION" "Laghi"
    "RESULT_FIELDS" "ASTA DES INDIVIDUAZ"
  END
  PROJECTION

  END
  TYPE polygon
  STATUS ON
  DATA idrlag
  LABELITEM "des"
  LABELMAXSCALE 30000
  CLASS
    NAME "Laghi"
    COLOR 0 0 250
    TEMPLATE "templates/laghi.xml"
    LABEL
        POSITION CC
        SIZE MEDIUM
        COLOR 0 0 250
        OUTLINECOLOR 220 220 220
    END
  END
  #TRANSPARENCY 50
  TOLERANCE 5
  HEADER "templates/layer_header.xml"
  FOOTER "templates/layer_footer.xml"
END

(I think templates/laghi.xml is ininfluent here because the layer 
crashes  in browse mode). Do you see something strange ?
Also on 3 other layers, I have images in temp dir are built correctly, 
but in the html they are not refreshed, i.e.:
 I do a zoom with the trouble layer present, the images are build (all 
images: map, scalebar, html legend icons, reference), but then html 
interface is not updated with the new images. I did never had this kind 
of problems with previous mapserver releses (but maybe this time I did 
something wrong in setting up cgi...)

Hi There,

  Only Map output is supported in SVG. Such things as Legend and

Raj, 
 
I am forwarding this on to the MapServer Users listserv for comment.
The answers to several of your questions are found on the home page of
the MapServer site.  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/   To answer your most
basic question, the software is free and opensource and has no
restrictions on number of users.  Most of the avaible documentation for
MapServer can be found at: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs

Dear Mr. David,

 

We are company based out of Bangalore, India.  We offer solutions and
services to logistics segment where we use GIS also as a technology. We
have worked on both ESRI and MapInfo GIS engines. We are currently
looking for an open source GIS engine so that we can reduce the cost of
our solution to our esteemed customers. In this regard we are thinking
of exploring MapServer for our web based application which is on .Net
technology.

 

Kindly inform us whether this engine supports the following features so
that we could consider the same.

 

1.	Is this a complete web based engine where we could offer a web
based solution on the same with around 200-300 users accessing the
application simultaneously for map viewing. 
2.	Do you have any benchmarks on the map rendering speed on the web
with the above load? If so kindly furnish us the same. 
3.	Does the map engine support the following features. 

	a.	Map navigating tools zoom in, zoom out, distance,  info
tool, auto pan, centering 
	b.	Does it support both vector and rastor map data set? 
	c.	Does it support MS-SQL and Oracle as backend database
for the attributes? 
	d.	Does it support animation layer? i.e. creating point
objects on the fly over web ?for eg. Vehicle tracking. 
	e.	Does it support radial distance / search? 
	f.	Does it support buffering for line and point objects? 
	g.	Does it support editing the layers on the web - like
creating points, drawing lines etc. 
	h.	Does it have a distance calculator? 
	i.	Which is map data format supported? Does it support both
shape files (ESRI), MapInfo format as well Oracle spatial or any other
geo-database format. 

4.	Does the map server have a licensing cost and does it have any
restrictions with respect to number of simultaneous users? 
5.	What is the level of support and documentation provided for a
serious user like us? 
6.	Can you forward any 

 

We request you to kindly revert on the above at the earliest. 

 

Best regards,

Raj.

Jason, 

If you are trying to have only the low res data show up when you are
zoomed out and then have the high res data show up as you zoom in, take
a look at LAYER MINSCALE and MAXSCALE in the Mapfile Reference Document.


You can set the minimum and maximum scales at which you want a layer to
display.

I would like to know the best way to merge data from different sources. 
For example I have a large over view 1:20000 map and several smaller 
areas of higher resolution what is the best way of overlying the two and

not letting the lower resolution data show threw?
When you just stack the layers on top of each other you can see the 
lines on the lower resolution map meandering back en forth under the 
higher resolution data.

So is there a command to clear the extent of a layer or what is the best

way to do this?

Hi,

thanks for the info, although it's not the best message ;-)
Are there any plans to implement Lengends / Scalebars in SVG?

Raj,

MapServer will support 200-300 users with an appropriately configured
application, though I'd consider that a high load for a single machine
serving maps and you would likely need to be quite careful about how
your application is setup.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "complete web based engine".  MapServer
is not a GIS and does not endevour to have a complete set of GIS
functionality.  You may also find you need a variety of related projects
to achieve some ends.  In particular there are many layered software
packages that can be used with mapserver to make building web applications
easier.  Packages such as CartoWeb, Chameleon, Mapbender, MapBuilder,
and ka-Map (as a few examples).  You will want to review some of these
higher level packages as part of your review of mapserver.

>    2. Do you have any benchmarks on the map rendering speed on the web

I do not, perhaps others do.  Generally speaking you are best off
doing some benchmarking yourself, and understanding that performance can
be very sensitive to a variety of issues (data organization, machine
memory, etc).

yes

yes

Yes, though the normal MapServer model is for the attributes to be
conceptually stored with the spatial geometry.  Trying to do joins on the
fly can be problematic, especially in performance sensitive situations.

Note that there is good Oracle Spatial support built in.  Access to
MS-SQL is via the OGR ODBC driver and can be considered weaker.

>             on the fly over web ?for eg. Vehicle tracking.

I believe you would need to use a client side toolkit such as MapBuilder
to have AJAX style client side animation.  Or perhaps you just mean
rendering from dynamic datasets?  This is quite possible.

>          5. Does it support radial distance / search?

yes

>          6. Does it support buffering for line and point objects?

yes, though this is a new feature, I think accessible only in mapscript.

Generally speaking no, MapServer does not support feature editing well.
There are some environments (Mapbender?) that address this sort of need,
but I think they post changes back to transactional WFS'es like GeoServer.
Use of GeoServer as a WFS and MapServer as a WMS is a fairly common
configuration for such requirements.

>          8. Does it have a distance calculator?

I am not aware of one built in, though environments like Chameleon may
include this.

The "native" format is shapefiles (in the sense this is the original and
in many ways best optimized format), but Oracle Spatial is also well
supported.  Via OGR a variety of formats are supported including mapinfo
(mid/mif and tab), etc.

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

No, sorry.  We are missing this feature.

I'd suggest you visit the mapserver website to judge the available
documentation.  If you want support you can call on the mapserver
mailing lists but for serious support you may consider contracting
with experienced mapserver consultants including firms like DM Solutions,
or MapGears, and individuals such as Steve Lime, or Howard Butler.

I personally think that MapServer and related projects is a great solution
for consultants and integrators willing to spend some time learning MapServer
and who have the experience and knowledge to customize and extend things
when required.  This gives great flexibility in providing exactly the solution
a client needs, and ensures you aren't trapped into the licensing/pricing
scheme of a vendor who may be insensitive to your needs or the needs of
some of your clients.

Best regards,

Hi Piero

Sorry, I misunderstood your first mail. At first glance I do not see
anything strange. You can try to isolate the problem by using
different modes (map, legend, scalebar, ...) and simplifying the layer
defintion. Sorry I can not help much.

Good golly... this should be converted into a FAQ, or, into a "What

   There is no current plan to add these functions. The initial project 
  was limited to do the map output only.
If you are familiar with mapscript, It should be possible to generate an 
svg legend by looping through the map/layer/class objects.

Kishor,

I would add to Frank's excellent assessment, that we have excellent 
support of PostGIS, a Postgresql spatial extension. It has significantly 
less connection overhead then Oracle and is OpenSource. It is also fully 
capable of doing multiple table attribute and spatial joins for 
rendering and querying. I also supports multi-user data updates for 
editing spatial data.

I agree with you.
And I wonder one more thing.
What's major difference between server types such as Map Server,  
GeoServer
and client types such as Map Builder, Cartoweb?
I know I can search it.
But if some experienced people tell us the major distinctions,
it might be very helpful for many novices.

I have as series of georeferenced TIF files in the path
d:/wwwroot/shapefiles/rasters.  Using gdaltindex I produced an index file in
the same directory as the rasters.  I then created a layer in the mapfile
like so:

LAYER
  NAME "TacomaArea"
  STATUS default
  
 TILEINDEX " d:/wwwroot/shapefiles/rasters/tacoma_index.shp"
  TILEITEM "Location"
  TYPE RASTER
END

The map serves up fine but the rasters are never displayed.  Any ideas would
be greatly appreciated.

Chip,

When the location filename in tileindexes is evaluated in mapserver, it
is evaluated relate to the SHAPEPATH or mapfile if the path is relative.
Not, as might be expected, relative to the tileindex.  I suspect this
is your problem.

I'm annotating some polygons using a POINT layer so I can put the label
along with a dot.  I've got a BUFFER value for the LABEL and it's
removing those that are too close but it's not removing the
corresponding dots.  Is there a way to have them linked so the dot is
removed when the label doesn't fit?

Hi all,
I use cgi 4.10 (tried both from DMSolutions and TWtools)  and do a 
request like this:
http://localhost/Scripts/mapserv.exe?map=D:/Web/Site/HGis/trentino.map&layer=DTM&layer=ECW&mode=browse



My web template file is an xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<map>
 <img value="[img]"/>
 <mapwidth value="[mapwidth]"/>
 <mapheight value="[mapheight]"/>
 <scalebar value="[scalebar]"/>
 <referenceMap value="[ref]"/>
 <imgxy value="[center]"/>
 <imgext value="[mapext]"/>
 <legend>
     <![CDATA[
     [legend]
     ]]>
 </legend>
</map>


With 4.6 cgi this worked fine.
Then I had to format/reinstall my WindowsXp and tried 4.10, but with
the 
same web application I have the following cgi output:

msDrawMap(): Layer 5 (laghi), 0.079s msDrawMap(): Layer 11 (i_dep_p),
0.078s

instead of the xml file from web template.  In temp dir I have all the

images created for the  request (map, scalebar ecc.), so cgi
installation
seems to be ok.

I don't try using the old 4.6 (because I don't have it any more).
Anyone 
could give an advice please ?

Subject: no output for web template with 4.10 cgi
In-Reply-To: <454F32810200008F00003BCE@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>
Message-ID: <MON.6.NOV.2006.134506.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

I can confirm the template works ok, see:

 
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv410?map=/usr/local/www/docs_maps/mapserver_demos/itasca/test.map

I'm not using an HTML legend in this case. Seems like a layer problem
as you noted in follow-up messages.

Hi all,
I use cgi 4.10 (tried both from DMSolutions and TWtools)  and do a 
request like this:
http://localhost/Scripts/mapserv.exe?map=D:/Web/Site/HGis/trentino.map&layer=DTM&layer=ECW&mode=browse




My web template file is an xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<map>
 <img value="[img]"/>
 <mapwidth value="[mapwidth]"/>
 <mapheight value="[mapheight]"/>
 <scalebar value="[scalebar]"/>
 <referenceMap value="[ref]"/>
 <imgxy value="[center]"/>
 <imgext value="[mapext]"/>
 <legend>
     <![CDATA[
     [legend]
     ]]>
 </legend>
</map>


With 4.6 cgi this worked fine.
Then I had to format/reinstall my WindowsXp and tried 4.10, but with
the 
same web application I have the following cgi output:

msDrawMap(): Layer 5 (laghi), 0.079s msDrawMap(): Layer 11 (i_dep_p),
0.078s

instead of the xml file from web template.  In temp dir I have all the

images created for the  request (map, scalebar ecc.), so cgi
installation
seems to be ok.

I don't try using the old 4.6 (because I don't have it any more).
Anyone 
could give an advice please ?

Thanks
    Piero

yes, my applicatioin is based on php mapscript.  Because I offer SVG- 
Downloads, the best thing would be to emded the legend into the map.
Is ist possible to get and modify /add the svg-xml direct before it  
is written in the tmp-Dir?
... maybe a stupid question?

Subject: Compiling mapscript-csharp on Linux
In-Reply-To: <454D8631.30809@golden.net>
Message-ID: <MON.6.NOV.2006.182048.0500.MGLEAHYGOLDEN.NET>

Hello again,

It looks like I am having problems with the mapscript_csharp library.

Earlier, I had neglected to run 'make test', and now that I do, I find 
I'm getting an Unhandled Exception (see below).  It seems that it is the 
libmapscript.so that has this problem, since if I use the 
mapscript_csharp.dll in windows with a pre-compiled copy of 
mapscript.dll, it works fine as far as I can tell.  Once I try to do the 
same in Linux with the libmapscript.so that I compiled, it fails with 
the same errors as the make test output.  I'm not sure why I would get a 
System.DllNotFoundException - I tried copying the library to my lib 
folder.  If it try 'ldd libmapscript.so', the output also looks okay.

I might also point out that I had a number of funny error messages about 
incompatible libraries at the end of the compile process, when the 
php_mapscript.so library is created.  These messages look something like 
"/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/lxml2.so when searching for 
-lxml2", and the list is pretty long.  So far, it seems the library 
loads fine in PHP, though I haven't had a chance to test it with an 
actual map yet.  Could the fact that I'm running on an x86_64 version of 
Fedora 6 be a problem?

I hope somebody on the list can give me some insight into this problem.

Mike

Message-ID: <MON.6.NOV.2006.173933.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

Hi Lawrence: Here's a simple example I did:

  http://maps.socsci.umn.edu/~lime/2006/test_dbox.html

It's a simple dbox implementation that does use mapserv.js to manage
coordinates on the client side, that is, MapServer is used to create
images and respond to queries, nothing more.  It doesn't have the button
handling and all that other crap that can get in the way of seeing
what's going on. 

Note that this is not the most naive implementation using dbox. It is
possible to use dbox with a normal templated pan/zoom application
(without mapserv.js at all). In this case a dbox event is used to
populate a CGI variable such as imgbox or imgxy and then submit the
form. I tend to prefer using mapserv.js though and do away with
templates.

To be clear:

  - dbox.js is the code that handles a rubber-band box zoom, measure
and area tools, basically any interaction with the map

  - mapserv.js is the code that does all the coordinate handling (e.g.
zoom in, out, box zoom, ...) on the client and builds MapServer CGI
URLs

They do not have to be used together, but have been designed to do so.

Any of the other code (dlegend.js, dcontainer.js) is related to legend
handling which may or may not be of interest. You certainly need not use
it as the example above shows. Please let me know if you have other
questions.

Steve

Hello,

I have downloaded dbox and looked at different examples that implement
it.
I get confused trying to understand which JavaScript libraries do what.
 Is
there anyone who has a very simple example of implementing the drag
zoom
functionality and nothing else?  My little mind needs to chew on things
in
small increments to be able to understand.

Thanks,

  If I understand correctly, you could possibly do a 
$map->save("myfile.svg"), then load this svg  with php and insert 
features that you want and return the result to the user.

Message-ID: <TUE.7.NOV.2006.005018.0500.MGLEAHYGOLDEN.NET>

Hello again,

I finally figured out my problem.  I found that if I tried compiling 
MapServer/MapScript-CSharp with minimal options, it seemed to work okay. 
  After this, I was ultimately able to determine that the error comes 
after I compile MapServer with FastCGI enabled, then compile the 
mapscript csharp module.  Once I dropped this option, from my 
configuration, it worked fine (though I still have the original issue I 
posted about the MySQL-related "Unrecognized options" reported by SWIG, 
which have to be commented-out in the Makefile).  I figure it should be 
safe to recompile the mapserver CGI executables with FastCGI after I've 
finished making the csharp module.  Beside this problem I've found with 
the mapscript module, is there any reason should I not enable FastCGI?

Thanks again for any info,
Mike

Hi 

Is it possible to use images to represent labels?

I have a point. Arround the point I need to represent some labels. I

can do this by setting-up the ANGLE in LABELS in MAP file. My question

is if I can replace the text from the labels with some images.

Example: in the  central-upper part should be a image with an compass

instead of writing North and on the central-right side should be an 
image with the sun instead of writing Sunrise

Is it possible?


Thank you in advance

Are the surrounding labels data-dependent?  Or is there a small 
number of states?

One way to approach this is to pre-render the point icon plus 
"labels", and use that image as the icon for your plot.

Another way to do it would be to have 5 different layers, one for 
each of the different images.  The trick is that for the 4 layers 
representing the layers, you use a large icon, but with the image 
off-centered.  That is, make 4 copies of your "image 2".  In each 
copy, delete the red circle.  In copy one, delete all but the green 
rectangle.  In copy two, delete all but the purple diamond.

This unfortunately still requires a recompile of Mapserver.

In mapsymbol.h it says:

#define MS_MAXSYMBOLS 64 

So you would need to increase this value and recompile the source.

If you cannot compile Mapserver yourself, you can for instance ask DM
Solutions Group to compile one for you (they might charge you for it
though).

Best regards,
Bart

Leonardo,

you can edit this in the mapserver source in the file mapsymbol.h. There 
you'll find a reference to

#MS_MAXSYMBOLS 64

Set this value to what you need and recompile your mapserver

Hello,

The number of the symbol is limited to 64 symbols. You can change this by 
editing the mapsymbol.h file and change :

#define MS_MAXSYMBOLS 64    /* maximum number of symbols in a symbol file */

Regards,

Subject: no output for web template with 4.10 cgi

Message-ID: <TUE.7.NOV.2006.115239.0100.PIERO.CAVALIERIHEIDI.IT>

I think it's not a layer problem, because this map file was used also 2 
years ago with gmap demo application (that from dmsolutions, with php 
and the java applet), then with a .net (pure post) and then with 
.net/ajax, and never had this problem. Tested on a WinXp and 
Win2003Server and was ok.
I think I'll try to take exatly the same configuration I still have on 
the Win2003 (which uses 4.6), and then replace with 4.10. If I'll still 
have the problem, I'll try to isolate it.

Thanks

And, I repeat, I have the images (also with the problematic layers) 
correctly saved in the temp dir. Simply the xml output have additional 
(mapserver logs ??) lines, sometimes at the beginning, sometimes at the 
end of the output stream (so an exception thorws during the xml parsing, 
which is after mapserver produced the jpegs; if I would like to make a 
dirty patch in this moment, I could simply remove the log lines form the 
output template before doing the xml parse).
A question: msDrawMap(): Layer 8 (sma_cob), 0.000s  means really that 
mapsrver take less than 0.001s to render  the layer or has to be 
interpreted as an error message?

Subject: limiting layer visibility by extent
Message-ID: <TUE.7.NOV.2006.231516.1100.BWRAGGTPG.COM.AU>

Hi All,
 
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to limit a layers
visibility by the current extent? E.g if the current extent is within the
layers extent, turn the layer on

I looked around and all I could find was this feature request
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786 . It seems like Howard
Butler may have got something going but I can't see mention of it in the
mapfile reference on the site?

Cheers,

Benjamin

Hi, Mapserver users!

Could somebody help me with error in subj.?

I have symbol file that looks o'k, but I am getting error on last line of it
(f.ex. 138 in this case).
Nothing changes if I am changing places of different simbol's definintions!
What could be wrong?

Mike,

I consider this issue might be dedicated to a configuration issue
rather than solely a mapscript C# issue.

But in fact the csharp makefile.in passes the FLAGS parameter to the
swig command line so as to avoid some further problems.

Normally the FLAGS contains the configure specific switches and the
includes. From this aspect it is slightly unfriendly that the mygis
specific  MYGIS_INC contains other funky options that the SWIG cannot
recognize. I will look into this for a workaround ASAP.

I think the fastcgi dependency is not needed for the mapscript csharp
library and should be
disabled when compiling the code. However it would be difficult to
support all of these variations during the same configuration phase.
So I guess you should make different compilations accordingly.

Best Regards,


Tamas Szekeres

Hello..
There is one mapserver application, which im some time ago working on:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/localhost/htdocs/newmap/czrep.map
(MapServer version 4.8.3)


If user enters a search string "Praha"
result is ok, but unfortunatelly:

- Serarching works only if entered qstring is exactly identical with database
  item (which is "Praha"). No case insensitiving. So -> qstring "praha" fails.
  
- Searching fails on substrings, so searching "aha" fails on "Praha",
  and searching "Kralupy" fails on "Kralupy nad Vltavou"

- Searching is limited on displayed map extents. If im zoomed out, even
  correct string "Praha" fails

Do you solved someone some of this points before? Any expiriences?

There is a known issue with IIS, DEBUG messages end up mixed with the 
regular mapserv.exe output:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1783

The way around this is to disable the DEBUG statements in your mapfile.

Another alternative is to use Apache which doesn't suffer from this 
problem even on Windows.

That's correct, that means that less than 0.001s is septn rendering that 
layer, either because it's a very light layer or because it is out of scale.

Subject: Configureing mapserver in someone else server
Message-ID: <TUE.7.NOV.2006.121705.0300.>


Hello to the list
I'm trying to use mapserver as cgi in two hired web hostings . 
In windows based server I put the following in cgi-bin directory:
 
    libcurl.dll
    libpq.dll
    NCScnet.dll
    NSCEcw.dll
    NSCEcwC.dll
    NSCEUtil.dll
    xerces-c_1_6_0.dll
    zlib1.dll
    mapserv.exe

and everything goes OK


In the other side, in linux based server when I put in cgi-bin directory the following :
    
    libc-2.3.2.so 
    libcurl.so.3.0.0 
    libfreetype.so.6.3.5 
    libgc.so.1.0.2 
    libgdal.so.1.7.0 
    libidn.so.11.5.6 
    libjpeg.so.62.0.0 
    libpng12.so.0.1.2.8 
    libpq.so.3.1 
    libproj.so.0.5.0 
    libssl.so.0.9.7 
    libxerces-c.so.26.0 
    mapserv 

it does not work. What I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance

If I understand you correctly MapServer does this automatically if you
set STATUS DEFAULT. The layer is always on and is shown if it's extent
overlaps the view extent.

Hi All,
 
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to limit a layers
visibility by the current extent? E.g if the current extent is within
the
layers extent, turn the layer on

I looked around and all I could find was this feature request
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786 . It seems like
Howard
Butler may have got something going but I can't see mention of it in the
mapfile reference on the site?

Cheers,

Message-ID: <TUE.7.NOV.2006.092552.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

What you describe is how things are supposed to work. There are
alternatives:

  - case insensitivity, by default string and regular expressions are
case insensitive. You can get around that by including an i at the end
of the qstring. For a case-insensitive string search you'd need to
delimit the string with quotes and then append the i.

qstring=/Praha/i
qstring='Praha'i

  - substrings, you need to use regular expressions to do substring
matches

  - limited by extents, again this is the default behaviour. You often
deal with it through application design. For example, if you have your
search by keyword form element inside the main mapserver form then it
will take on the displayed extent. Alternatively you could use a
seperate form altogether. You can also use a bit of javascript to
construct a query URL with the correct global extent and then submit.
You'll probably need to do that anyway to format your qstring
appropriately. Remember that if no extent is supplied then the search
uses the default extent set in the mapfile.

Hello..
There is one mapserver application, which im some time ago working on:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/localhost/htdocs/newmap/czrep.map
(MapServer version 4.8.3)


If user enters a search string "Praha"
result is ok, but unfortunatelly:

- Serarching works only if entered qstring is exactly identical with
database
  item (which is "Praha"). No case insensitiving. So -> qstring "praha"
fails.
  
- Searching fails on substrings, so searching "aha" fails on "Praha",
  and searching "Kralupy" fails on "Kralupy nad Vltavou"

- Searching is limited on displayed map extents. If im zoomed out, even
  correct string "Praha" fails

Do you solved someone some of this points before? Any expiriences?

What happens when you try a ./mapserv -v, or http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv ?

Hi,

The behavior of windows and linux different. Windows looking for dll-s in 
the current directory then in the system directories.
Linux uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf for the directories to

Hi,

Create a shell script in the CGI-BIN directory that in turn calls mapserver this will allow you to configure the path variables for the process that gets executed so that MapServer can find its dependencies.

More here - http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cgi-wrapper-script

As you say this is shared hosting the I guess you can't set the path in httpd.conf which is what I sometimes do, so try export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/www/cgi-bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in the script.

(sorry - meant to send this to the list not just Zoltan!!)

Thanks for the response, not quite what I mean't though. I need the layer to
turn only when your view extent is completely within the extent of the
layer. Its what a client whats for some raster tiles. E.g if your completely
within a tile turn it on but if your half over the extent of one tile and
half over the extent of another, turn them both off.

I know it sounds a little silly to do this (why not just display both
tiles!) but this what the client watns and I'm just trying to figure out if
its possible. :)

Thank you, but it didn't solved the problem. I have created in the SQL Server a column called FID. With this column and removing the <FID>...</FID> line from the ovf file I can make query, but when I click on different point I get the same result: the first tupple from Sql Server table.

Any ideas? or whe I can setup <FID>mycolumnid</FID>?

In the ovf file I  have:
....
<FID>UID</FID>
....
In Map  file:
class
    template.html
end
header  header_template.html
footer footer_template.html

in template I  have:

<tr>.....<td>[UID]</td>

The table in the  SQL Server I have 3 columns:

UID type uniqueidentifier
x_coord type  float
y_coord type float

I don't see where I do wrong

Thank you  in advance

William

Hi William,

I have not been able to successfully do this sort of thing, but one
workaround is to try nquery, it seems to return all related records.

Thanks,

I don't have an example, but let me try explaining another way.

For option one, I was suggesting that you figure out, in advance, all 
possible combinations of all possible symbols, and generate all 
possible icons that correspond to those states.  In retrospect I 
don't like that idea as much.

For option two, think of it in two steps.  Consider only the image 
that will be drawn to the upper-right of the mapped location.  Say 
you're mapping towns:  if the town's economy is industrial draw a red 
circle, and if it's agricultural draw a green square.  Now hopefully 
you understand how to map just that much of it, drawing the red 
circle or green square at the exact location of the town:  define two 
classes in your layer for "economy type", with SYMBOL definitions for 
the red circle and green square.

At that point you have a map which draws one of the components of 
your compound symbol, but it draws it dead center on the city 
location, and you need it offset. Let's say your symbol fits in a box 
8 pixels by 8 pixels.  Now redefine your symbol.  Put it in a box 
that's 24 pixels by 24 pixels.  But don't put it in the center of 
that box--put it in the upper right corner instead, and leave the 
other 8 cells blank.  You can draw that 24x24 symbol at the center 
point of the city, and your red circle/green square will be offset.

Now repeat that for each of your other "image labels", with one LAYER 
per "label", and one CLASS for each different symbol that could 
appear in that corner of the icon.

Hello,

I am a contributing author for the upcoming Springer Encyclopedia of GIS 
(Entries for SVG and Webmapping) and noticed that they have entries for 
some commercial GIS and spatial DB products (e.g. Oracle, Smallworld) 
but don't mention OS or other commercial alternatives, such as UMN 
Mapserver, Postgis, etc. I asked the editors and they agree to include 
additional entries into the encyclopedia if they can be written until 
december.

Are there any volunteers that would be willing to write an entry for UMN?

Additional information is available at 
http://refworks.springer-sbm.com/geograph/

If you are interested in writing such an entry (3000-4000 words, 8-12 
pages incl figures), please contact me and I'll send you the emails of 
the editors and responsible person at Springer. Entries can be written 
in Word or Latex.

Thanks for your interest,
Andreas

  But it didn't solved the problem. When I query I get only the first tupple from the database, despite the layer I query
  It is a common problem that OVF files don't work all the time?

Well I mean that when i do http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv I get the typical:

" 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request. "


I will try tyhe cgi-wrapper-script...

Tom Kralidis wrotre:

What do you mean by "it does not work"?

What happens when you try a ./mapserv -v, or http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv ?

Maybe this is what you want:

--------- Mapfile content: ----------

 LAYER 
    NAME        "layer_name"
    STATUS       DEFAULT
    TYPE         POLYGON
    
		PROJECTION
#	projection definition
		END

    CLASS
#	class definition e.g. 	COLOR 255 0 0 
    END
  END 



-------- Mapscript file content: --------

$MyLayer = $map->getLayerByName("layer_name");

$NewLine = ms_newLineObj();
$NewLine->addXY($X1,$Y1);
$NewLine->addXY($X2,$Y2);
$NewLine->addXY($X3,$Y3);
...
$NewLine->addXY($X1,$Y1);
 		  	
$NewShape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POLYGON);
$NewShape->add($NewLine);
		  	
$label = "some text";
		  	
$NewShape->set("text",$label);
		  	
$MyLayer->AddFeature($NewShape);	
						
$NewShape->free();
$NewLine->free();

I hope this work. On my configuration works (Mapserver 4.8, PHP 5.1.4,
IIS 5.0, Windows 2000 Server)

Hmm - interesting. The symptom that you discuss here - the fact that
without the FID specified you only get the first record - indicated that
you need to specify a FID in your OVF file. What version on SQL Server
are you using?  And, is your FID column defined in SQL server as the
primary key on the table? By the way - I use SQL Server 2000 and I do
not have to specify FID in my OVF to get my queries working.
 
Anyone else have any suggestions??

Thank you, but it didn't solved the problem. I have created in the SQL

on different point I get the same result: the first tupple from Sql

Any ideas? or whe I can setup <FID>mycolumnid</FID>?

Subject: Display raster at 'actual' size
Message-ID: <WED.8.NOV.2006.162028.0100.M.VANEXELBRIDGIS.NL>

Hello, dear mappers,

I'm trying to accomplish the following:
* Have user upload a polygon as a SHP file
* Return a map with a topographic background (raster file) and the poly as a
layer on top of this.

I use ASP.NET and the C# implementation of MapScript to accomplish this in a
simple web interface.
All works well, BUT for one thing:

The output should be at a *calculated* scale, such that that the raster
background is always displayed at its 'native' size. And ideally it should
output at 300DPI to be suitable for printing.

The current method I employ is:
* Init MapObj with a mapfile that has the background raster file
* Read in SHP as a ShapeObj and add to the map.
* Get the extent of the ShapeObj
* Add a margin
* Use this extent to set the map.width and map.height
* Draw.

But I don't want to set the w/h and calculate the scale, what I want to do
is SET the scale and have the W/H calculated. Is this an option? And how
about outputting @ 300DPI? I know at least tiff supports internal
resolution.

Thanks a bundle.

Subject: Mapserver WMS ECW Datasource(s)
Message-ID: <WED.8.NOV.2006.103602.0600.KEN.BOSSDNR.STATE.MN.US>

Hello Andrew--

Mailing list:  If you can't search at
http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mapserver-users.html (?), maybe try the
gmane archive at http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.mapserver.user.

Debugging:  You can set DEBUG ON in either the MAP or LAYER object(s)
in your mapfile.  The MapServer website is your friend - at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu, type "debug" into the search box at
upper right, and follow the links for Map and Layer for more info.

ECW support:  is provided through GDAL.  GDAL must be linked against
the ECW external libraries.  The easiest way to manage that is to get it
all pre-built in FWTools (http://fwtools.maptools.org/); both Linux and
Windows distros are available.  

HTH,

--Ken

Hey All,

I would like to use ECW as a data source and have tried with the latest
fgs (mapserver v4.6 and also tried with another install v4.8.1) but I am
obviously having some trouble...... I have "rtfm" :
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data/#how-are-rasters-added-to-a-map-file


I apologise going to the list for this information because I'm sure it
has been covered before! But apparently you need a "LISTSERV password"
to search the mailing list archieve's (wtf???) and signing up to the
list did not provide me with a "LISTSERV password".... 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firstly.... is there a way to turn debugging on???
My only debug message is "msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named
'ecw'."  Which is kind of obvious ;) ... 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secondly... perhaps there is something wrong with my layer definition
(my other layers in this file work perfect)??? 
LAYER
  NAME "ecw"
  DATA "/var/ecw/my.ecw"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
  MINSCALE 00000.0
  MAXSCALE 1000000.0
END
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thirdly, perhaps my "FGS" installation does not allow me to read
ecw????????
azzabox:/opt/fgs# ./www/cgi-bin/mapserv -v

Finally, while I have you attention I know there are several free and
public datasources.... I have found some Landsat available here:

sources!

Many thanks in advance

Hello List,

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong in
the below code.  I cannot connect to a PostGIS
database, I get ths error - 
msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): Query error. couldnt make
connection to DB with connect string 'Resource id #2'.

Error reported was 'missing "=" after "Resource" in
connection info string
'.

$db_handle = pg_connect("user=* dbname=* host=*
password=* port=5432")
   or die('Could not connect: ' . pg_last_error());

$admin = ms_newLayerObj($oMap);
$admin->set( "name", "admin" );
$admin->set( "type", MS_LAYER_POLYGON);
$admin->set( "connectiontype", MS_POSTGIS );
$admin->set( "connection", $db_handle );
$admin->set( "status", MS_ON) ;
$admin->set( "data", "the_geom from
cadastre.world_admin_2002" );

I've tried this too with no luck - 

//$admin->set( "data", "the_geom from ( select * from
cadastre.world_admin_2002 ) as foo using unique gid
using SRID=4326" );


$oImage = $oMap->draw();
$url = $oImage->saveImage($img_path.$image_name);


I am using ms4w2.2 with PHP 5, Postgresql 8.1

Thanks in advance!

In the querying callback function.  If you are working off the dbox
example.html template, it looks like:

  //
  // querying callback
  //
  ms.setHandler(MAPSERV_QUERY, ms_query);
  function ms_query() {
    querywin = window.open(ms.url, 'querywin');
    querywin.focus();
  }

You can add the normal options string to the window.open() call, e.g.:

    querywin = window.open(ms.url, 'querywin',
'height=725,width=750,resizable,scrollbars');

HTH,

Hi:
   
  I would like to create point data by clicking on the map and write the coordinates into SQl Server 2005. It's the opposite of OVF file for creating points from 2 columns from a DBMS (like Sql Server, MySql)
   
  When I click on the map I would like to take automatically the coordinates and record them together with other attributes into a table (Sql Server|) with 2 columns for x and y coordinates
   
  Is it possible to do it?
   
  I am using mapserver 4.10, dBox on IIS server and ASPX with Sql Server 2005
   
   
  Thank you in advance
   
  William

What shows up in the alert box?  Most likely there is a problem with the
mapscript configuration on your server.

A javascript console window might prove helpful as well.  There is some
(admittedly sketchy) documentation
at http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/tools/dbox/README_install.html (also in
the dbox demo distro) that might provide a further clue or two.  Also
search the list for dbox.  A good explanation of how the mapfile
metadata items are used to configure the legend is at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.mapserver.user/20286/.

Thanks for the help with my previous questions.

The 2 javascript Console Errors I get when I load my html file are:

Error: xEvent is not defined

Line: 486

Error: this.treeLegend has no properties

The alert(legend_xml) produces an alert that is probably too lenghty to post

interested.

Thanks for all the help and the great dbox application!

Subject: Actual location of True Type font files for fonts in Font
 Suitcases under Mac OS X 10.4.
Message-ID: <WED.8.NOV.2006.172626.0500.KANEDAJHU.EDU>

Hello List,

   I recently installed the MapServer 4.10.0 cgi binaries for OS X on a 
dual 2.0 GHz PowerPC G5 system running OS X 10.4.8  and started working 
through the exercises from Bill Kropla's "Beginning MapServer: Open Source 
GIS Development" book.  When trying to work through several map examples 
which use True Type fonts, I would keep getting the error message similar 
to the following:

msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (arialbd) not found.

This would occur when I would try to point to the OS X installed fonts in 
/Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts in my font.list file, e.g.

                 arial      /Library/Fonts/Arial

The pathname I listed above points to a file of Kind "Font Suitcase". 
In the case of the Arial font, the Finder lists the size of this file as 
312 KB.   When you open the font in Font Book, it is possible to see which 
files are included in the Font Suitcase and by choosing Preview | Show 
Font Info, you can confirm that a font (e.g. Arial Regular) is indeed a 
TrueType font.  Font Book lists the location of the font as either 
/Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts. When I go to the /Library/Fonts and 
~/Library/Fonts directories using the Terminal, the font files of type 
"Font Suitcase" have a file size of 0!   Many of the fonts in the 
example Font Set file on the MapServer web site (e.g. Arial family, 
Georgia family, Times family, Trebuchet-MS, Verdana family) seem to be in 
Font Suitcase files under OS X 10.4.

   I was finally able to complete several of these exercises by using the 
folder of Vera family fonts bundled in the MapServer 4.6 tutorial so 
that error wasn't caused by an erroneous pathname in the FONTSET 
statement.  My question is this - where do the .ttf files for True Type 
fonts listed as type/kind Font Suitcase actually reside under OS X 10.4? 
If someone is succssfully running MapServer under OS X 10.4 and using the 
standard True Type fonts installed by OS X 10.4, I would appreciate it if 
you could post or send me a copy of your font.list file.


Thanks for any info,
-Keith

Message-ID: <WED.8.NOV.2006.171854.0600.WOKLISTKYNGCHAOS.COM>

Using Mac suitcase-packaged fonts is a bit tricky.  As you know, a  
suitcase (or other font package such as dfonts) can contain many  
actual font faces, usually the different styles of the font.   
FreeType can read these, but by default only returns the first face  
in the file.  There is no guarantee of the order of the faces in the  
suitcase, and MapServer doesn't have a way to specify a face index or  
name (that would be a nice wish).

TrueType and PostScript fonts can be packaged in many ways in OSX -  
in a suitcase, in a dfont (dfonts are a flat-file replacement for  
suitcases), in an OTF file (usually 1 face, but can contain multiple  
faces), and in a Unix/Windows flat file (ttf/pfa/pfb).  The Microsoft  
fonts that come with OSX and MS Office are all in suitcases.

Your safest bets for MapServer are Unix flat files (.ttf) and single- 
face OTF fonts.  The only ttf fonts that come with OSX are a bunch of  
language fonts.  You'll have to raid a Windows system to get the MS  
ttf versions (you might be able to download them from MS).  You can  
also look around for free fonts (like those Vera fonts you found).   
Or scrounge up some OTF fonts from recent Adobe products.

If you have a font conversion tool, you could also convert the MS  
suitcases to Unix format.

Subject: (intermittent) poor text quality on ANNOTATION layers
Message-ID: <WED.8.NOV.2006.181534.0800.HALMOBILEGEOGRAPHICS.COM>

I have long had a nuisance-level problem with the quality of TrueType 
font text, where sometimes a label will appear fuzzy, as if it is 
being drawn twice, one or two pixels apart.  When I upgraded to 4.10 
last week the problem became much worse, so I am trying to fix it.

I have tried lots of variations in my mapfile, but I still end up 
with text that causes headaches.  I would appreciate any suggestions.

I suspect that I am tickling some boundary condition in the antialiasing code.

An example can be seen at
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml?lat=40&lon=-72&radius=100

If I switch to primary colors (e.g. 255 0 0), quality is much 
improved.  If I use a white background (BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255), 
quality is perfect.  It makes no difference whether I use JPEG, PNG, 
or GIF output.  I am using only default drivers--haven't tried things 
like DRIVER "GDAL/JPEG" yet, nor have I tinkered with IMAGEMODE.

Here's a sample CLASS definition:
                 CLASS
                         LABEL
                                 BUFFER 1
                                 ANTIALIAS TRUE
                                 COLOR 156 156 156
#                               BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
                                 FONT "OptimaItalic"
                                 SIZE 3
                                 MAXSIZE 10
                                 MINSIZE 8
                                 Type truetype
                                 POSITION AUTO
                         END
                 END

Ugh, that's not good is it. Can you share the full mapfile (perhaps with
all but the offending layer stripped out, but the header portion
intact)? For some reason I think I've seen this before, recently, but I
can't remember where.

The other thing to look at is your PHP code. It's like the label cache
is being rendered twice, not being cleared between draws or something
like that. I notice you also have some collisions so I don't think this
is an antialiasing problem.

I have long had a nuisance-level problem with the quality of TrueType 
font text, where sometimes a label will appear fuzzy, as if it is 
being drawn twice, one or two pixels apart.  When I upgraded to 4.10 
last week the problem became much worse, so I am trying to fix it.

I have tried lots of variations in my mapfile, but I still end up 
with text that causes headaches.  I would appreciate any suggestions.

I suspect that I am tickling some boundary condition in the antialiasing
code.

An example can be seen at
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml?lat=40&lon=-72&radius=100

If I switch to primary colors (e.g. 255 0 0), quality is much 
improved.  If I use a white background (BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255), 
quality is perfect.  It makes no difference whether I use JPEG, PNG, 
or GIF output.  I am using only default drivers--haven't tried things 
like DRIVER "GDAL/JPEG" yet, nor have I tinkered with IMAGEMODE.

Here's a sample CLASS definition:
                 CLASS
                         LABEL
                                 BUFFER 1
                                 ANTIALIAS TRUE
                                 COLOR 156 156 156
#                               BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
                                 FONT "OptimaItalic"
                                 SIZE 3
                                 MAXSIZE 10
                                 MINSIZE 8
                                 Type truetype
                                 POSITION AUTO
                         END
                 END

I'm running 4.10 on a Redhat box.  Library versions:

I second that.
I'm looking at Sharpshooter Canyon at the moment an it has two positions 
well apart, and Filebotton Canyon is clean which suggests it's only 
being drawn once.
I think you need to dump the layer data an see if you are getting two 
hits for the positions.

John,
you are not doing anything wrong, simply mapsscript doesn't have
properly implemented memory management so creating maps dinamically is
not supported (even though it could work).
I think in your case you should get the image correctly drawn anyway,
so you could ignore the (annoying) segfault at program exit.

Umberto,

Creating maps dynamically is the entire point of MapScript. It very  
much supports the concept of creating maps dynamically.   IIRC, the  
code John has posted is right out of an example that Sean and I did  
for a workshop at OSG '05.  It may be that this example is no longer  
valid in 4.10 because of how the memory management has changed, but I  
wouldn't go so far as to say MapScript's memory management is  
outright implemented incorrectly.  There may be some issues, and it  
may be a little rough in areas, but it has been improving.

I suspect that the colorObjs of the styleObjs are not properly  
referencing the styleObj.  Running this script through gdb to get a  
traceback to find out which destructor is being called is what  
probably needs to be done.

Howard,
I have been a bit imprecise.
Creating and manipulating maps dinamically is mostly safe, with the
exception of some objects and/or usage patterns. I dinamically add
some simple layers myself in an application and it works.

Sorry for the imprecision.

Subject: Mapscript/Python setting featureID for WFS
Message-ID: <WED.8.NOV.2006.145224.0800.SCHWAB.SCOTTGEOEYE.COM>

I am new to MapServer and MapScript, so sorry if this is an obvious question.

I have a CGI-BIN script, in python, which produces a series of layers, each
layer with one or more shapeObjs placed within it.  If I produce an image
from this script, it looks fine.

I decided to try WFS, and my GetCapabilities request seems to work okay, but
when I do a getFeature on the layer, I get the proper boundaries, but I get
the message of FeatureId item "ID" not found in typename "layerOne".  (See
below)

My question is, since I am producing the shape and layer on the fly, based
on a set of geographic points, how do I set attribute on the shape or layer
that is the value for an feature id attribute "ID".  If I use
shpObj.initValue(#) and shpObj.setValue(i,value), how do I associate the
feature item tag "ID" with the value?

Thank you for any ideas and help,
Scott

Message-ID: <THU.9.NOV.2006.083020.0600.>

William,

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but what you are after here is how to translate an
image click into map coordinates, right?  I suspect that the actual creation
of rows in SQL Server with the x, y coordinate values is straightforward.

 

In order to get the map coordinate from the image click you have to do a bit
of legwork since there is no direct method call for this in mapscript (that
I am aware of). You are using mapscript_csharp, right? Here's a bit of code
that may help you given that you have a mapextent, image width and height,
and image x, y click location:

 

Public Shared Function ConvertImageToGeo(ByVal imgExtent As GISExtent, ByVal
targExtent As GISExtent, ByVal imgPoint As GISPoint) As GISPoint

            '//images have 0,0 in upper left corner - effectively switching
the orientation of the axis

            Dim targPoint As New GISPoint

 

            '//make sure imgpoint is inside imgextent

            If Not imgPoint.x <= imgExtent.xMax Or Not imgPoint.x >=
imgExtent.xMin Or _

                Not imgPoint.y <= imgExtent.yMax Or Not imgPoint.y >=
imgExtent.yMin Then

                Return Nothing

            End If

 

            '//precentage along the x and y axis

            Dim xPercent, yPercent As Double

            xPercent = (imgPoint.x - imgExtent.xMin) / imgExtent.Width

            yPercent = (imgPoint.y - imgExtent.yMin) / imgExtent.Height

 

            '//since y axisorientation is backwards - take inverse
proportion of yfactor

            yPercent = 1 - yPercent

 

            '//calculate offset

            Dim targXOffset, targYOffset As Double

            targXOffset = targExtent.Width * xPercent

            targYOffset = targExtent.Height * yPercent

 

            '//calculate point

            targPoint.x = targExtent.xMin + targXOffset

            targPoint.y = targExtent.yMin + targYOffset

 

            Return targPoint

 

        End Function

 

 

If you are on the client side (javascript) you can use this if you populate
ImgW, ImgH, MapULX and MapULY beforehand. 

 

function SetMapLoc(imgX, imgY){

    var pX = imgX / ImgW;

    var pY = imgY / ImgH;

 

    var mapXAdd = MapW * pX;

    var mapYAdd = MapH * pY;

 

    MapX = MapULX + mapXAdd;

    MapY = MapULY - mapYAdd;

    

    MapX = MapX.toPrecision(8);

    MapY = MapY.toPrecision(8);

}

 

Note that neither of these methods is very precise so if you are looking for
precision, you'll need something more sophisticated.

 

Hope that helps,

 

David Lowther

Hi:

 

I would like to create point data by clicking on the map and write the
coordinates into SQl Server 2005. It's the opposite of OVF file for creating
points from 2 columns from a DBMS (like Sql Server, MySql)

 

When I click on the map I would like to take automatically the coordinates
and record them together with other attributes into a table (Sql Server|)
with 2 columns for x and y coordinates

 

Is it possible to do it?

 

I am using mapserver 4.10, dBox on IIS server and ASPX with Sql Server 2005

 

 

Thank you in advance

Besides others comments on mapscript usage, you can check your  
console and system logs to see if there are any details on the  
segfault.  There might also be a crashlog for python.

Dear All,

I am trying to use jBox to perform query by selecting point records by rectanglar select (drag an area in which point records are displayed).  However, it seems that it takes long time to generate the map image (I have added some labeling features on the map request).  I have tried to create index on XY and record ID, but the performance has not improved.  

Is there something I can do to solve this problem?  Is the problem related to database index, or jBox, or anything else?

I am using MapServer, jBox, Win 2003 Server, IIS, Oracle.

Hope you can give me some hints.

Regards,
John

I do not think jBox would be the issue. All jBox is doing is sending
the X,Y coordinates of your box back to mapserver. I would guess it
was the database, but that's a guess. What browser are you using? jBox
with Firefox/Mozilla is very slow to instantiate the first time, but
that has nothing to do with the box drawing, it is a Java issue.

Can anyone point me to an example of how to do a 'copyright notice'

Essentially, I want to place some title text on a map image using image

Hi John,
The time is always slow to generate the map? Or only with query's?
Can you post your definition for the data parameter? Are you using
native connection or OGR connection? Did you created the index (spatial
index) for your table? It's Oracle Spatial or just Oracle?
Best regards.

Message-ID: <THU.9.NOV.2006.175447.0200.EZENAIDEGMAIL.COM>

hi all,

there's a way to display results from various layers, for example, i have
three layers (city, country, province). when i do the query - i'm mounting
my interface under gmap with ms4w - it results only the last layer. i would
like to display results from all layers.

other question: i have locked the screen on the map file as 760x500px. but,
when i zoom in and use the query tool, the map extents to the original size.
there's other place i should change the resolution?


thanks in advance :)

Summing up what I've found, the feature request at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786 isn't actually about
at what I was after. After re reading it (and a quite chat with Howard
Butler) I can see that this feature request is just about querying the
extent of a layer not limiting what is shown (don't I feel stupid :) ).  

So since mapserver doesn?t really support limiting a layer with "show this
layer only when my view is completely within it", I've build some code in
php which checks the extent of the current view (using mapscript) and then I
do a "within" query over the extents of some tiles. If it returns a tile id,
I turn that tile on.

Cheers,

Benjamin

Thanks for the response, not quite what I mean't though. I need the layer to
turn only when your view extent is completely within the extent of the
layer. Its what a client whats for some raster tiles. E.g if your completely
within a tile turn it on but if your half over the extent of one tile and
half over the extent of another, turn them both off.

I know it sounds a little silly to do this (why not just display both
tiles!) but this what the client watns and I'm just trying to figure out if
its possible. :)

If I understand you correctly MapServer does this automatically if you set
STATUS DEFAULT. The layer is always on and is shown if it's extent overlaps
the view extent.

Hi All,
 
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to limit a layers
visibility by the current extent? E.g if the current extent is within the
layers extent, turn the layer on

I looked around and all I could find was this feature request
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786 . It seems like Howard
Butler may have got something going but I can't see mention of it in the
mapfile reference on the site?

I've notified the developers about this issue long ago but I can see I
should repeat the problem again.
So this is definitely a mapserver issue has been identified originally
for C# descibed in the following bug:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1743

As looking into the code the problem applies to C# Java and Python but
might apply to the other
SWIG variants as well.

This problem is related to the improper handling of the ownership of
the memory. For example when calling

mapscript.layerObj(map) the map object will take the ownership of the
constructed object so the internal state
of the layer object should be changed accordingly. That is: setting
swigCMemOwn = false for Java and C#.

The most awkward thing that we cannot workaround this issue
declaratively (like using DISOWN typemaps for example)
because the ownership should not be transferred when the constructor
is called with null.

For the C# binding we could use the following fix (in csmodule.i):


%typemap(csconstruct, excode=SWIGEXCODE) layerObj(mapObj map) %{:
this($imcall, true) {
  if (map != null) this.swigCMemOwn = false;$excode
}
%}
%typemap(csconstruct, excode=SWIGEXCODE) classObj(layerObj layer) %{:
this($imcall, true) {
  if (layer != null) this.swigCMemOwn = false;$excode
}
%}
%typemap(csconstruct, excode=SWIGEXCODE) styleObj(classObj
parent_class) %{: this($imcall, true) {
  if (parent_class != null) this.swigCMemOwn = false;$excode
}
%}

John,
Instead of the code above would you try using insertLayer, insertClass
and insertStyle
with the newly created layer class and style objects constructed using
null parameter?


Besides this problem I could mention at least 2 more use cases where
the SWIG generated wrappers will definitely fail.
Needless to say that all of these issues are dedicated to the improper
handling the ownership of the memory holded by
the wrapper classes. Recently I've fixed one exclusively for the
GDAL-SWIG C# and posted the fix to the SWIG guys
("Preventing from the early garbage collection of the C# object").

However I've got not answer so far.....  :-(

Tamas Szekeres

It's virtually certain that I am calling drawlabelcache() more than 
once.  Sounds like that might explain both the fuzziness and the 
collisions, right?

I will fix that, and then if the problem persists I'll run it down to 
a simple one-layer mapfile that reproduces.

Hi Paul
I would use an empty layer and add to it the new points computed the way you 
want each time the image is drawn. Should work, but maybe not the best and 
fastest way.

Sam,

I'm not sure you got an answer to your question on this. If not, can
you provide a few more details? Like is the problem at initialization,
or after the first action (zoom, pan query, etc)? And specifically
what is, or isn't happening ?

hi there,
1 : check first that the layers you want queryable have a "template" line in  
the mapfile. If not, they can't be queryable.
2 : might be. Make a quick string search with the original extent in all the 
files and you'll see.

Well I apparently don't understand how the label cache works.  That 
is in fact the cause of my problems.  i can cure or cause the error 
by not calling or calling $map->drawlabelcache().

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/maptest.phtml has a much-simplified 
test case done with PHP Mapscript.

The upper map has fuzzy text.  The lower map is correct.  The only 
difference is a call to drawlabelcache() in the fuzzy-text map.

The maps are generated with

   $image=$map->draw();
   $map->drawlabelcache($image);
   $url=$image->saveWebImage();
   echo "<img src=\"$url\">";

   $image2=$map2->draw();
   $url2=$image2->saveWebImage();
   echo "<img src=\"$url2\">";

The complication is that for the real maps, I have both static data 
(defined in shapefiles and .map file) and dynamic data (rendered onto 
the map after the base map has been drawn).

The flow of the programs is (distilled down):
$map = ms_newMapObj()
$image = $map->draw();
$dynamicLayer = $map->getLayerByName("dynamic");

and then many calls to
$point->draw($map, $dynamicLayer, $image...);

If I delete the call to drawlabelcache(), my annotations on the 
dynamic data are lost.  If I keep the call to drawlabelcache() the 
static layers are labeled twice.  What am I missing?  Is there a 
better approach?

Adding a call to $map->labelcache->free() after I draw the static 
data but before I draw the dynamic data seems to have been the 
missing bit.  Thanks for the lead guys!

Hi,

do you get an error or just a blank image? Maybe post a debug output
from the layer that uses the postgis connection (e.g. with shp2img)?
And/Or the layer section of your mapfile.
Using pg-views to display data is generally working.

Cheers, Michael

Yes, I had the same problem. Adding the oid-column of the table that 
contained the geometry-column to the view made it working.

Ciao Paolo,

I'm normally working with php/mapscript applications and I use data from
Postgres/postgis db, dinamically changing the data source of a layer from
a table to a view, and I have similar problems, resolved as follows.

In the .map file the "data" of layer is like this:
     "<geometry_column> FROM <table>"
and that work fine.

Instead, If I change the data source to a view I must to add the statement
"USING UNIQUE <id>" where <id> is the primary key of the table, added to
the view.
In other words: the view must contain the pk of the table, e.g. "SELECT
<geometry_column>, <id> FROM <table>", and the "data" string of the
mapserver layer must contain the "USING UNIQUE" statement, looking like:
     "<geometry_column> FROM <view> USING UNIQUE <id>"
I believe mapserver is automatically looking for a field named "oid" that
is normally provided from a postgis table but not from a view (or a
sub-query), so you must to specify the name of the pk field in view.

let me know!

ciao

Subject: (intermittent) poor text quality on ANNOTATION layers
Message-ID: <FRI.10.NOV.2006.082310.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

Hal: The label cache is drawn by $map->draw() so the drawlabelcache call
is unecessary and probably
the source of your problems. The only reason to use drawlabelcache at
all is if you are using
layer or feature level draws since those populate the cache but don't
draw it.

Steve

>>> Hal Mueller <hal at MOBILEGEOGRAPHICS.COM> 11/10/06 2:31 AM >>>
Well I apparently don't understand how the label cache works.  That 
is in fact the cause of my problems.  i can cure or cause the error 
by not calling or calling $map->drawlabelcache().

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/maptest.phtml has a much-simplified 
test case done with PHP Mapscript.

The upper map has fuzzy text.  The lower map is correct.  The only 
difference is a call to drawlabelcache() in the fuzzy-text map.

The maps are generated with

   $image=$map->draw();
   $map->drawlabelcache($image);
   $url=$image->saveWebImage();
   echo "<img src=\"$url\">";

   $image2=$map2->draw();
   $url2=$image2->saveWebImage();
   echo "<img src=\"$url2\">";

The complication is that for the real maps, I have both static data 
(defined in shapefiles and .map file) and dynamic data (rendered onto 
the map after the base map has been drawn).

The flow of the programs is (distilled down):
$map = ms_newMapObj()
$image = $map->draw();
$dynamicLayer = $map->getLayerByName("dynamic");

and then many calls to
$point->draw($map, $dynamicLayer, $image...);

If I delete the call to drawlabelcache(), my annotations on the 
dynamic data are lost.  If I keep the call to drawlabelcache() the 
static layers are labeled twice.  What am I missing?  Is there a 
better approach?

Hal

Right. This problem with layerObj(map) is one of the reasons why I wrote

Subject: freetype error for curved label (solve)
Message-ID: <FRI.10.NOV.2006.154501.0100.YJACOLINFREE.FR>

Hi,

A few days ago (or a few weeks ago), I wrote an email to ask some help about a 
problem with curved label and freetype error message.

I found the solution, I just added a "TYPE TRUETYPE" line in the LABEL 
parameter. Questions : is it normal to have to add this parameter ? If so, I 
think it can help to add this information in the ANGLE section in the doc.

Furthermore, I am using this feature with a polyline layer. Some labels do not 
"follow the line" : http://softlibre.free.fr/curved_label.png. Actually, only 
when the label is longer thant the line. Any idea to correct this ? Thanks.

Regards,

Y.

The other day I too faced this issue with MapServer/PostGIS/views.  I 
found a post on the list to make sure postgresql.conf is set to generate 
oids ("default_with_oids = on").  Setting that (with PostgreSQL 8.1.5) 
and regenerating my tables solved my problem.

With gmap out of the box, you can do a mutliple query with the Rosa applet "i"

sorry, gmail replied only to you, i didn't see it

what i want is to know if its possible to see, when i use the "i" tool over
a layer, results from all visible layers.
example: two layers (city, country) visibles, i click over one location,
let's say New York, it shows population from city layer AND name from
country layer.

thanks

Subject: Server error retrieving coverage via WCS
Message-ID: <FRI.10.NOV.2006.101944.0700.VINCENT.TROISICOLORADO.EDU>

I am trying to retrieve an entire layer of a tiled Geotiff mosaic
using the WCS protocol. In some cases if I request a subset of the
layer, I am successful. I am unsuccessful when I near a request the 
entire area.
The error is:

> The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete 
> your request.
>
> Error message:
> Premature end of script headers: <name of the WCS cgi script calling 
> mapserv>
>

We are using mapserver 4.6. The layer is 16-bit raster. Each pixel 
represents
a 125x125m surface resolution. The extend is
-3174450,-2816050,2867175,2406325

I attempted to retrieve the layer/image with ResX and ResY set to 250
(enhancing the resolution by 2). The request was successful, but the
values in the retrieved file were all 0.

Any suggestions...

Try switching MS_SINGLE to MS_MULTIPLE in the queryByPoint function around 
line 510 in the gmap75.inc.php file. This should do the trick; check the doc

Vincent,

My guess is that the request is large and mapserver is running out of
ram and crashing.  However, MapServer should detect failed mallocs
especially for large buffers.  I'd encourage you to either try and debug
the problem in situ-or submit a bug report we can use to reproduce the
problem.

If it is a memory problem then reproducing the problem may depending
on various machine/os issues.

Note, I'd call reducing the resolution to 250x250 degrading rather
than enhancing the image.  However, if you can provide a bug report
where we can reproduce this problem then we can fix it (assuming it is
a mapserver or gdal problem).   I don't believe it is expected behavior.

thanks a lot, Blaise! :D

about my other question, i've changed in the map file the resolution, but
when i zoom in and do some query the map extents. it not resize, but zoom
out to its max. i've tried comment some functions to see if i can identify
where it happens but not sucessfully.

any ideas?

It seem's that the minx, miny, maxx, and maxy are not well passed to the 
result page.
Can you chek for these variables and their value in the url of your query 
result page with "wrong" full extent compared to their value before the query 
or post it here ?

Note that an oid is not (by default) indexed or a primary key. Either
specifying it as a primary key or creating a unique index on it should help.

An oid is not selected implicitly in a view (eg: select * from table). To have
the oid in the view you must select it explicitly (select oid,* from table),
which may require you to specify which oid you are including, if more than one
underlying table uses them. 

Note that in a view a unique key (including oids) from any underlying tables
may not remain unique, depending on the SQL defining the view.

Several applications which access PostGIS geometries obtain their information
from the entry in the geometry_columns table. This record is written when the
select addgeometrycolumn command is run (and is deleted by the
dropgeometrycolumn command). This record is not created when a view with
geometries is defined, which can cause problems (I'm not sure about mapserver).
In such cases manually inserting the appropriate record into this table will
help.

Hello Roger,

My problem was, that Mapserver 4.10 omitted the STYLES-Parameter in the
WMS-GetMap-Request. Some WMS-Servers send an exception, because of this
missing parameter. Therefor I looked for a way to add the miising parameter.
One way is to add STYLES= to the CONNECTION-String for the Server. I don't
like it, but this way I am using. Bart has mentioned adding a tag to the
Layers METADATA (wms_styles 'default' ). I have thought, that I have it
positiv tested, but a look today shows me that this has no effect.

I have also tested other tags in the METADATA to apply SLD-Styles, but they
have also no effect. Because I add normally my SLD with javascript to the
requeststring, I have not looked deeper in the METADATA tags.

With adding &SLD=[url] to the requeststring, I get the wished results. But
it's importent, that the SLD is correct, the layer correct named and the Url
reachable via http from the requesting server. In the beginning I have often
failed and thought it is a Mapserver fault, but it was my fault. You can
look at my page. There I have some SLD you can use with the WORLD 4326
layer.

I know c, but I'm using only compiled binairies, so there I have no ideas.

Betreff: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WMS STYLES-Parameter and Mapserver 4.10


Hello Arnd,

My name is Roger Jans. I'm also using MapServer 4.10.0 and get the same
problem.
May I ask you how exactly you solved the issue? What were the final settings
needed?

Does the reply from Bart mean that the changes to mapwmslayer.c for version
1.79 *cause* the problem? It seems so, since version 1.79 of the file is
included in MapServer 4.10.0.

I don't know if you're interested but I describe my setup anyway and
hopefully you can give me some indication what more I could do to make it
work:

1. For my 3 (test) layers in a .map file I have defined simple CLASS...END
blocks
   like this:

      CLASS
        NAME "k92_20k_pgx"
        COLOR 235 250 255
        OUTLINECOLOR 100 100 100
      END

2. Using MapScript in a PHP page I have extracted an SLD for these classes.
   That seems to work OK. I get the corresponding settings in the SLD.

3. I have removed (commented out) the CLASS...END blocks in the .map file
and
   instead specify the &SLD=[url] querystring parameter.
   Like you I have so far not specified any STYLES parameter in the GetMap
request.
   I thought that specifying the 3 layer names and an SLD which specifies
style
   for these 3 layers would be enough. Like you I get a white image.

4. Specifying STYLES= or STYLES=default,default,default changes nothing.

5. Specifying

      "wms_style" "default"

   for each of the layers in the .map files changes nothing.

6. Specifying

      <IsDefault>1</IsDefault>

   in the <UserStyle> elements of the SLD together with &STYLES= in the URL
   changes NOTHING.
   (In the SLD implementation spec. it is stated that if the &STYLES=
parameter
   is specified (meaning use default styles) then the SLD style for a layer
is
   only to be used if it is *marked* as the default style. Otherwise
MapServer's
   internal style shall be used.)


At this point I feel I'm running out of options.

Did you get a positive result with the suggested workaround, my step 5?

Andrew,

You would add "DEBUG ON" to your layer definition.

However, I see your version string lacks DEBUG=MSDEBUG, so I don't think
the debug information will work anyways.

This looks fine assuming the scales make sense, and that in actual
use you are enabling the raster layer (STATUS DEFAULT will force it
on).

You can't tell from the "mapserv -v" report whether GDAL or OGR are
built with particular formats.  If you have installed the GDAL utilities
in your FGS tree as well, you can use "gdalinfo --formats" to list them
all or "gdalinfo --format ecw" to check if ECW is enabled.  I suspect FGS
does not include ECW.

Also 4.6.0 beta2 is a bit oldish now.  Perhaps you should consider
updating to the latest fgs builds.

Yes, I've got a mapserver based WMS running with one of the big south american
landsat ecw files off geotorrent.org, as a sort of proof of concept.

   http://maps.gdal.org/

It *can* be done even if it is not trivial.

PS. The mapserver distributed in FWTools for linux does include ECW
support - http://fwtools.maptools.org/  That's what I'm using on maps.gdal.org
I believe.

Hello,

I have a mapfile UTF8 encoded wich reads data from an UTF8 PostGIS table (note

This is the error:

query) statement: 'DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT

find_srid('','vig_camp_2004','the_geom') )'

Postgresql reports the error as 'ERROR: column "variet?" does not exist '

------

Note that the same DB and the same mapfile works fine on my local ubuntu 
dapper (which is more UTF8 ready) but fails on my producion server which is 
Debian based (and more LATIN9 oriented)

I tried to set default client encoding to UTF8 on the server but it did'nt 
help.

It's clearly something to do with mapserver passing the query with the wrong 
encoding or postgres not recognising it correctly.

Any hint would be highly appreciated.

Subject: dBox map multiple results with itemnquery
Message-ID: <SAT.11.NOV.2006.100935.0700.RICHARD.GREENWOODGMAIL.COM>

I am using a simple template to map the results of an itemnquery:
  [img],[shpminx],[shpminy],[shpmaxx],[shpmaxy],[queryfile]
from which I parse the 'img' to draw the map and the shpminx, shpminy,
shpmaxx, shpmaxy, to set the new extents. Works fine for a single
result.

Multiple results are harder. If I put the template in the HEADER I get
an image with all results (which is what I want) but I don't get
shpminx, shpminy, shpmaxx, shpmaxy. Whit my template as TEMPLATE, it
gets processed for each result. I get the shpminx, shpminy, shpmaxx,
shpmaxy, but what I really want is shpminx, shpminy, shpmaxx, shpmaxy
for the whole result set.

I could process each record in JavaScript and save the min & max x &
y, and assume that will be the extents on the full result set, but I
don't think that would be reliable.

How can I get the extents of a multi-result image?

In reply to my own question, use:
   [minx],[miny],[maxx],[maxy]
instead of:
  [shpminx],[shpminy],[shpmaxx],[shpmaxy]

Amazing how often I find the answer immediately after posting to the
list. It's like magic!

Hi folks,

After a lot of different ways of configuring MapServer, I finally got
MapServer and PHP/MapScript running without the errors I said below. How?
1. The configure command:
 ./configure --disable-ignore-missing-data --enable-point-z-m --enable-debug
--disable-coverage --with-freetype --with-zlib --with-png --with-jpeg
--with-xpm --with-gd --without-pdf --with-eppl --with-proj --with-threads
--with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config --with-ogr --with-gdal --without-tiff
--with-postgis --with-mygis --without-oraclespatial --without-ming
--with-wms --with-wfs --with-wcs --with-wmsclient --with-wfsclient
--with-sos --with-curl-config=/usr/bin/curl-config
--with-xml2-config=/usr/bin/xml2-config --without-fastcgi
--with-httpd=/usr/sbin/httpd --with-php=/usr/include/php 2>&1 | tee
configure.log

2. And also two little hand-made modifications:
2.a) Makefile - at line 218 I removed "-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage "
options
2.b) mapscript/php3/Makefile - at line 38 I removed "-fprofile-arcs
-ftest-coverage " options

I just didn't understand why these options was turned on if I set
--disable-coverage with ./configure script.

regards,

Eduardo

Hello List,

I?m trying to get an imagemap with MapServer.
I checked out the hwoto on:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/imagemaps

but somehow I cannot get it running.

In my mapfile I wrote 
.....

  TYPE         POINT
  TOLERANCE   5
  STATUS       DEFAULT
    TEMPLATE "bodytemplate.html"

  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "user=postgres password=******* dbname=geodaten host=localhost
(port=5432"
  DATA "the_geom from beispieltabelle"
.....

imapheader.html looks like:

<html>
<body>
<map id="mymap" name="mymap">

---------------------
imapfooter.html looks like:

<area shape="circle" coords="[shpxy precision=0 proj=image yf=",7" xf=","]"

---------------------
bodytemplate.html looks like:
</map>
<img name="map" src="http://localhost[img]" width="380"

I run the application with:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=C:/Programme/Apachegroup/Apache/htdocs/
mapdatei.map&qlayer=testdaten&mode=nquery&searchmap=true

but I don`t get a map (in other applications witout imagemap the map-pictures
are generated without any problems).
If I watch the code in the browser, I see quite a lot area-sections
(<area shape="circle" coords="224,107,7"..........)
and in the end:
<img name="the_map" src="http://localhost/tmp/testkarte11633668963748.png"
width="380" height="450">


But in the "tmp-Directory" there is no "testkarte11633668963748.png"?
I wonder why?
Where is my mistake?

Thank you very much, Kai

Subject: WCS data misregistered
Message-ID: <MON.13.NOV.2006.122522.0700.FUNKBUCKETGMAIL.COM>

Hi all-
I am working with a global (actually -180 to 180 and -65 to 65) 30
arcsec dataset. I have been making tiles in geotiff format from this
original image and it sets the pixel size as "Pixel Size =
(0.00833333,-0.00833333)".
This seems to be causing some trouble when I make a wcs request as the
image returned has "Pixel Size = (0.00830565,-0.00830565)" or "Pixel
Size = (0.00830204,-0.00830171)", the returned pixel size vaires at
different points on the globe. So the images I am getting back have
the wrong pixel size and as a result are also misregistered. The
result is the same whether I use the tiles or a single global image. I
have attached my mapfile below. Any thoughts, soutions, or questions
that might lead to solutions would be greatly appreciated.

OK, after some more self study, I have figured out how to do the
labeling of the point.  What I am still looking for is how to draw a
pointObj in image coordinates (transform=false in CGI world) using
Python MapScript.  

Thanks, 

David.

Can anyone point me to an example of how to do a 'copyright notice'
using MapScript, preferrably Python MapScript?

Essentially, I want to place some title text on a map image using image
coords and set the text dynamically.  

Thanks, 

David.

Subject: Failed in dynamic adding classes
Message-ID: <MON.13.NOV.2006.214729.0600.MHWANG4UIUC.EDU>

By using a new feature of MapServer 4.9 +, i.e. OWSDispath,
I tried to dynamically add new classes into the original map file.
My code is the following:

#!/usr/local/bin/python

import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
import mapscript as ms

cgi_queryitems = ['classitem', 'classification', 'numclass']
cgi_layers = ['bnd_1940', 'bnd_1950']

form = cgi.FieldStorage()

req = ms.OWSRequest()
# req.loadParams()

for key in form.keys():
     if key not in cgi_queryitems:
         req.setParameter(key, form[key].value)

map = ms.mapObj('/Users/myunghwa/Sites/Riverweb2/Riverweb.map')

for layer in cgi_layers:
     aLayer = map.getLayerByName(layer)
     firstClass = ms.classObj(aLayer)
     firstClass.name = "Total Population < 3000"
     firstClass.setExpression("([%s] < %s)" % ('poptotal', '3000') )
     firstStyle = ms.styleObj(firstClass)
     firstStyle.color.setRGB(0, 255, 0)
     firstStyle.outlinecolor.setRGB(0, 0, 255)
     aLayer.moveClassUp(1)
     secondClass = ms.classObj(aLayer)
     secondClass.name = "Total Population >= 3000"
     secondClass.setExpression("([%s] >= %s)" % ('poptotal', '3000') )
     secondStyle = ms.styleObj(secondClass)
     secondStyle.color.setRGB(0, 180, 0)
     secondStyle.outlinecolor.setRGB(0, 0, 255)
     aLayer.moveClassUp(2)
     aLayer.status = 1

map.OWSDispatch(req)

If I remove the second for loop, it worked well.
But if I include the second for, it just shows a white image.
If anybody knows why it happens, please let me know.
Or if you explain how OWSDispatch works, it'll be greatly helpful.

Hi,

I want to show two labels, one to the left (LL) and another one to the right (LR), separate for a hyphen.

Is there a way to visually split two labels?

Hi,

not sure, if I understood the question correctly, but you can label
one point with several attribute values, using the TEXT keyword in the
class section of your mapfile:
TEXT ([ATTRIBUTE1] - [ATTRIBUTE2])

I don't think you can actually define 2 labelpositions within one
layer. But you could use one layer to show the geometry with one label
and e.g. an annotation layer for the other attribute label.

HTH, Michael

i am a begainner in the mapserver World... i have

now i contiue a project using php mapsript but now
fall in great problem.
i have shape file(.shp) containnig roads network. i
have to create a buffer 
area of this raods network arround 10 km. using this
buffer area
i have to clip/select agricultural land from another
shape shape file.

i can create buffer using 
$shp=roadlayer->getshape(-1,0);
$shp->buffer(10);
but it create buffer for only one road not the whole
network... 

plz give me the idea which process i have to follow to

Hi,

is there any "easy" solution to a nice panning, so that the user can  
click on the map and drag it, and only the map (not the whole page)  
is redrawn?

I know if kamap, which does it, but that seems to be pretty complex  
and adds other functionality which I don't need.

Thanks for any hints,

hi stefan,

you may have a look at p.mapper (http://www.pmapper.net/). this is a 
nice framework dealing with ajax, javascript, json and more components.
give it a try!

buffer works at the shapeObj level, so you have to apply the buffer to
each shape, i.e.:

for(my $i=0; $i<$shapefile->{numshapes}; $i++) {
  # apply buffer
  # ...
}

Try http://datacrossing.crs4.it/en_Documentation_mscross.html

I like this because it is very small and and a good easy to use

This is the sort of thing that is most appropriate for PostGIS,  it 
really starts to get into the realm of GIS "analysis", which Mapserver 
does NOT purport to do :-)

I would look into PostGIS' "Simple Features Specification for SQL 
<http://www.opengis.org/docs/99-049.pdf>". It will do the buffering and 
intersecting you describe.

However, it sounds like this doesn't need to happen interactively 
through the web interface, if so you might explore a desktop GIS such as 
Quantum GIS, uDig, etc.

Can you use that same keyword to label something with "boilerplate" 
text, like 
TEXT ("Route number: "[route_num])

One of my students was trying to get something like this working 
yesterday, and I thought it should be possible...

Hello Stefan,
you can try mapbender 
(http://www.mapbender.org).
It`s quite easy to modify. You can choose which functions you want to have and
the panning works well.

Hello Steve, thank you very much. I had not, but now it works fine:-)

For everbybody:

In the mapfile you need something like that:
QUERYMAP
SIZE 500 500
STATUS ON
STYLE NORMAL
END

If the header-html-file looks like :
<map  name="mymap">

it is important to have a reference to that in the footer.html (I didn`t have 
in my last posting), like:

</map>
<img name="map" src="http://localhost[img]" width="500"
height="500" usemap="#mymap>

Message-ID: <TUE.14.NOV.2006.165103.0200.EZENAIDEGMAIL.COM>

ok, i've found that the zoom itself can be the problem.
when i use it, it returns the map extent from map file all the time. i think
when i query, it return to previous map extent, wich is wrong! by the way,
query tool returns the correct map extent:

map extent (map file): -38.234122 -11.52665 -34.594394 -8.133178

test 1.
    zoom:
    minx=-38.676573 / miny=-11.526650 / maxx=-34.151943 / maxy=-8.133178
    query:
    minx=-36.176120 / miny=-9.562008 / maxx=-35.771284 / maxy=-9.258382


test 2.
    zoom:
    minx=-38.676573 / miny=-11.526650 / maxx=-34.151943 / maxy=-8.133178
    query:
    minx=-38.062374 / miny=-9.591776 / maxx=-37.760732 / maxy=-9.365544

test 3.
    zoom:
    minx=-38.676573 / miny=-11.526650 / maxx=-34.151943 / maxy=-8.133178
    query:
    minx=-35.312868 / miny=-8.988244 / maxx=-35.080683 / maxy=-8.814105

(ok, its not the exactly map extents, but the extent less 10% i think - gmap
do this to avoid borders)

so, now, i only have to figure how to use map extent returned from query
replacing the older - the wrong one returned from zoom.

any ideas?

thanks :)

We have a requirement to periodically (every 5 minutes) automatically create
a 'snapshot' image of the MapServer map as either a png or jpeg file on the
server where MapServer is running.

Does MapServer have a facility for emitting this, or is there an open-source
utility that can be employed?

Thanks!

Check out the "shp2img" utility that's part of Mapserver.
That sounds like what you want.

Example usage:
shp2img -m mapfile.map -o snapshot.png

shp2img, or do it in Mapscript (e.g. PHP) if you need more control.

Subject: Binaries for 64-Bit Windows 2003
Message-ID: <TUE.14.NOV.2006.192752.0100.>

Hi everyone,

Can somebody tell me where to get mapserver & Co. Binaries (DLLs) for Windows2003 Server 64-Bit AMD?
It must be 64-Bit DLLs, since they will run in a Java/Tomcat environment, which needs to be in 64-Bit-Mode to use more than 2GB of memory.

As far as I know there is no way to use 32-Bit-DLL?s in a 64-Bit process: http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/10/06/HOWTO_Diagnose_one_cause_of_503_Service_Unavailable_on_IIS6_on_64bit_Windows.aspx
Anyway if I try to use them I get an exception:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: mapscript.dll: %1 is not a valid Win32 application
According to Sun (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6374419) this message is misleading and means "Can't load 64-bit DLL on a 32-bit machine" (or vice versa).

If I was a C professional it would be possible to compile everything for 64-Bit - unfortunately I am not so it would be really a lot of work for me.

On my local Machine (32-Bit Windows XP) I got Mapserver 4.6.0 (and 4.10.0) running within my Java/Tomcat application.

Any hint appreciated,
Tobias

tobias dot knoetzele at atosorigin dot com

PS: These DLLs are needed for Mapserver 4.6.0:
zlib1.dll
bgd.dll
gdal12.dll
iconv.dll
libcurl.dll
libeay32.dll
libeay32.dll.old
libmap.dll
libpq.dll
mapscript.dll
netcdf.dll
pdflib.dll
proj.dll
ssleay32.dll
xerces-c_2_4_0.dll

For Mapserver 4.10.0 the following DLLs are required:
ssleay32.dll
xerces-c_2_7.dll
zlib1.dll
bgd.dll
gdal13.dll
geos_c.dll
geotiff.dll
iconv.dll
libcurl.dll
libeay32.dll

Subject: problem with units in mapserver
Message-ID: <TUE.14.NOV.2006.134554.0700.FUNKBUCKETGMAIL.COM>

Hi-
I have a a near global 30 arcsecond dataset I would like to serve
through WMS and WCS. However, it seems that no matter what I try it is
being dealt with in degrees (0.00833333) and not seconds. Is there a
way to specify seconds in the mapfile are use gdal to do this? I
notice in the mapfile reference that seconds is not an option for
Units. The problem I am having with using degrees is serious rounding
errors in the pixel sizes of the returned images. It seems that
mapserver is doing a string to float conversion on 0.0833333 and then
doing math with that float and this is causing the output image to
have incorrect pixel sizes. It seems that if I could use seconds
(which would mean I'd have a round number for my units instead of a
repeating decimal) that this problem would be solved. I haven't found
a way to do this though.

Ben,

There is no way to operate in arcseconds with mapserver - sorry.

I'd be interested in knowing more about what is getting rounded
improperly, and how you are specifying the values.  Are you using
a world file?  Is it the DescribeCoverage that is coming back
rounded improperly?

Subject: mapserver with fastcgi support
Message-ID: <TUE.14.NOV.2006.132609.0800.KRIS_ROCK82YAHOO.COM>

Hello all, 
      i configured mapserver with fastcgi support on a windows machine with apache webserver. Downloaded the mod_fastcgi-2.4.2-AP20.dll from fastcgi website and copied into the modules folder in apache. Added the following line to the apache conf file 
  LoadModule fastcgi_module "modules/mod_fastcgi-2.4.2-AP20.dll"
   
  but this doesnt make fastcgi work with apache and mapserver. I tested this by sending a request to the sde server and see if only one connection is opened for the database, but everytime i send a request a new connection opens and closes as soon as the request is finished.  
   
  Is there something else that i have to do for fastcgi working with apache and mapserver.
  Thanks for your time
kris

Subject: savequery with PostGIS?
In-Reply-To: <ae9185aa0611141050v1faa828do8237844d5cf78390@mail.gmail.com>
Message-ID: <TUE.14.NOV.2006.160200.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

All savequery does is write feature indexes (shape index and an optional
tile index) to disk (plus
a couple of other things like a feature count and result set extent).
Then it uses those values to
call msLayerGetShape() when that query cache is processed. I can't
think of a reason why that
wouldn't work with PostGIS assuming the shape index is stable. What
problems are you experiencing?

Subject: generating images in a CGI using mapscript
Message-ID: <TUE.14.NOV.2006.155645.0700.JOHN.C.CARTWRIGHTNOAA.GOV>

Hello All,

I'm trying to use Sean's example 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/mapscript_imagery) to directly 
output a map image from a CGI  using python mapscript.  The pertinent 
lines are:

map_image = map.draw()
print "Content-type: " + map_image.format.mimetype + "\n\n"
map_image.write()

The cgi runs fine at the command line and even seems to generate a valid 
GIF image once the Content-type line is removed. 
However, running this in a browser seems to return an image that does 
not display but instead shows the alternate text of  "The image ... 
cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." No error is logged w/ 
apache for this request.

Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Kris,

You also need to add the following line to all SDE layers.

   PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"

Subject: Label Wrapping
Message-ID: <TUE.14.NOV.2006.165851.0800.SACHA.BLACKGMAIL.COM>

hi all,

searched the archives on these two related questions and found references to
each, but no solution. :

1 - is it possible to center-justify the resulting LABEL when WRAP is used?

for example right now if I have a polygon called "Bear Mountain State Park"
and I use WRAP " ", then I get:

Bear
Mountain
State
Park

Preffered behavior would be if the whole label were centered on the "n" in
the word "Mountain" (center of the longest segment)

(Previous thread:
http://www.nabble.com/-UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS--WRAP-justification-tf287110.html#a811711
)


2 - is it furthur possible to specify a WRAP as a wrap character *plus* a
length ? So in the example above I would still specify WRAP " ", but also
something like WRAPLENGTHMIN 10 (ie. only use the wrap character when it has
been encountered after at least 10 characters).

the Desired effect of the length minimum above is a label like:

Bear Mountain
State Park

(Previous thread:
http://www.nabble.com/Label-wrapping-tf2119776.html#a5846141)


just curious if these are already possible, obiously the best of all worlds
would be if these two options could be used together.
thanks,

sacha

Thanks Stephen,

looks nice. But I have the impression that it only works with the  
mapserver CGI and not with MapScript/PHP (as one has to indicate the  
path to the cgi in the CDATA section). Correct?

When I use "$Layer->queryByAttributes($ID_navn, $ID_value, $ResultType);" to get the specifik shape

It works fine.

So is there a limit to how long the WKT string can be ?
or a work around so I can load long WKT strings

Subject: Oracle-Spatial: Crash
Message-ID: <WED.15.NOV.2006.115323.0100.>

Hello list-members, hello Fernando Simon

We are using Mapserver with Java/Oracle and found crashes (of the hole VM) 
in some 
calls of layerObj.getFeature(int shapeindex, int tileindex);

As fare as I can see, the crashes occure when the queried SDO_Geometry has 
value null.

Digging in maporaclespatial.c /msOracleSpatialLayerGetShape: 
Line 2155 (in Version 4.10.0)
            success = TRY( hand, OCIDefineByPos( dthand->stmthp, 
&items[i],  .....
(where i is index over selected columns)

The array "items" is allocated and initialized with only one element. 
Therefore &items[i] is a pointer to 
arbitrary memory for i > 0. This seems to cause the crash.

Changed the code in the obvious way:
- items declared as 
         OCIDefine **items;
- allocation:
        items = calloc(sizeof(OCIDefine*),layer->numitems); 

The Crashes we detected disappeared. No harmfull side-effects found.

Cleaning of the allocated memory is still needed.  (As fare as I can see 
memory cleaning is also
missing for the variable nullind.)

Same problem in msOracleSpatialLayerGetExtent.

Greetings
Benedikt

Jeppe,

I believe older versions of GDAL/OGR had problem with long text attributes
via ODBC.  What version of GDAL/OGR are you using?  Can you test the same
ODBC connection using the ogrinfo from FWTools 1.0.9?

   http://fwtools.maptools.org/

If the problem persists I would suggest submitting a bug report.  It would
be very helpful if you could reproduce the problem with a more portable
database format, such as MS Access so you could submit a database with the
bug report.  I don't run SQL Server and can't easily test stuff related to
it.

Best regards,

Dear Mailing List,

I downloaded the mapserver package 4.8.4. In this package also the Apache Version 2.0.58 and the Php version 5.1.4 is included.

I tried to open a php file, but it did not work! And so I studied all the installation and configuration instructions and this made me really confusing!

So do you know, is there anything I must do with the different files in the Apache directory??? Or is there a problem with the versions of Apache and PHP!

It would be very nice, if you could help me!

Yours desperate

I don't think is require the mapserver cgi, that is just the default 
implementation. there is a get_url() function that generates the image 
url based on the image extents and there is no reason that you could not 
call mapscript for this. I think it just expects that the url will 
return an image.

Subject: dbox legend question
Message-ID: <WED.15.NOV.2006.064307.0900.SAMNYOUNGHOTMAIL.COM>

The checkboxes for my legend in my dbox applications are not turned on for 
active layers, nor do they change anything if I check/uncheck them and 
redraw the map.  The image that dislpays the color and shape of the layers 
is also not being displayed.  I get the following two errors in the 
Javascript console:

Error: xEvent is not defined
Source File: http://localhost/src/javascript/mapserver/dbox.js
Line: 486

Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Source File: 
http://localhost/cgi-bin/make_dlegend_xml_cgi.py?map=/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/sunvalley.map&server=localhost
Line: 2, Column: 1
Source Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>^

I have an "alert" in my code here:

// legend setup
    var legend_xml = get_content(config.dlegend_xml_executable + "?map=" + 
config.mapfile + "&server=" + config.dlegend_server);
    alert(legend_xml);
    legend.initialize("legend_container", legend_xml);
    legend.setHandler(DLEGEND_CLICK, ms.setLayer);

    ms.draw();

This alert doesn't produce any error messages.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Subject: Problems with mapserver and oblique projections
Message-ID: <WED.15.NOV.2006.162459.0100.TRONDMMMAPSERVERCRUSADERS.NO>

Hi.

I'm having some problems getting mapserver 4.4.1 to draw maps in an
oblique projection.

Here's an example:

http://wms.met.no/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../vhosts/mercator/conf/google.map&LAYERS=kart,cdc,base.LATLON&TRANSPARENT=false&BGCOLOR=0x99B3CC&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image/png&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&SRS=EPSG:44065
( http://tinyurl.com/ykem3c )

(red coastlines are drawn by mapserver, the grey land, the bluish
coastlines and the gridlines are drawn by an internal WMS-server.)

As you can see, mapserver omits most of the shapes close to the North
Pole, and there are some wrapping issues at the south pole. 

the proj-definition looks like this:

+proj=ob_tran +o_proj=eqc +lon_0=0 +o_lat_p=25 +a=57.29577953604224884 +b=57.29577953604224884 +no_defs <>

(the bizarre minor and major axis sizes are used to get
pseudo-decimaldegrees as units. I should probably use some scaling
parameter instead, but I was unable to find something that corresponds
to the -m command line parameter)

and my map is configured like this in the mapfile:

LAYER
  name "cdc"
  data "cntry00"
  status on
  type polygon
  PROJECTION
    "+proj=latlong"
    "+a=6371000"
    "+b=6371000"
  END
  CLASS
    STYLE
      outlinecolor 255 0 0
    END
  END
END


If the tilting is more severe, even more countries are left out of the
plot:

http://wms.met.no/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../vhosts/mercator/conf/google.map&LAYERS=kart,cdc,base.LATLON&TRANSPARENT=false&BGCOLOR=0x99B3CC&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image/png&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&SRS=EPSG:44090

With no tilt at all, you basically get regular latlong coordinates,
and now all countries are being displayed:

http://wms.met.no/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../vhosts/mercator/conf/google.map&LAYERS=kart,cdc,base.LATLON&TRANSPARENT=false&BGCOLOR=0x99B3CC&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image/png&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&SRS=EPSG:44000

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there something I can do to
get mapserver to plot all countries in this projection? (Preferrably
without the wrapping issues).

Subject: Shapefile classification by attribute
Message-ID: <WED.15.NOV.2006.114854.0500.ERIC.KEEFAUVERMTU.EDU>

Hello,

I have been an ArcIMS user for quite sometime and have been "playing" with
Mapserver (the ITASCA demo)in rendering simple shapefiles. My question is
this:  I have a county shapefile (83 counties) that has a few attributes
in the file e.g., -- Shape -Name - Acres_2002- Acres_2003- Cost_2002 -
Cost_2003- etc.

I would like to be able to display an attribute on user selection. For
instance, if the user selects Acres_2002 the map would display the
attribute field Acres_2002 based on some sort of classification with the
end result being a chloropleth rendering of the attribute field
Acres_2002. Can this be done with straight Mapserver functionality? I am
using MS4W v1.4.0.

I thank you in advance,

Eric

Trond,

First, there has been a variety of work on the "world mapping" problem
since 4.4.x.  I would encourage you to try again with 4.10.0 and see
which problems remain.

The core problem relates to computation of a spatial filter to use against
the lat/long data to select all the features needed for rendering.  Originally
I believe the corners of the bounding box in the output coordinate system
were reprojected back to the source coordinate system and used to form a new
bounding box.  This works very poorly in world mapping situations such as
yours where the pole (an extreme in lat/long) is in the middle of the
projected space.

Recent versions of MapServer will "sample" through the destination rectangle
to collect an MBR in the source coordinate system if it detects that some
edge points are not reprojectable.  I'm not sure if this will fix your
problem or not.  There have been some other changes for world mapping that
might also prove useful in your case.

If you still have problems in 4.10.x then please register a bug with a
reproducable situation and we can contemplate what to do about it.

Best regards,

Eric,

 Mapserver can indeed create choroplethic maps. You'll want to
research the CLASS and EXPRESSION mapfile parameters.

There is a good tutorial online at:
http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/tutorial/example1-3.html

In your case, you'll most likely want to create multiple layers for
each attribute of interest.
Each layer would be comprised of multiple classes.
Each class would be defined by an expression (eg ACRES_2002 < 10 ) and a style.

Hope this helps.. and welcome to Mapserver!

Subject: Question about DEBUG ON

Hi all,

I have used DEBUG ON in my mapfiles in the past, but I'm getting 
something very strange happening that I do not remember happening in the 
past. It looks like the map is getting fully rendered twice and a single 
map request. This is happening on both 4.6 and 4.9 and from multiple 
different mapfiles.

Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Thanks,
   -Steve

Check your access_log. I noticed a similar issue recently and I saw that 
I had duplicate entries in the access_log as well. I presumed it was my 
browser (Firefox) that generated duplicate requests and didn't look any 
further. If that's not the case then I'd be interested to hear what you 
find.

Yup, multiple entries in the access log. Boy that is very strange. It 
seems like a nasty bug in foxfire that really loads up the server and 
slows down the browser I would think.

BUT, I just tried the SAME thing in IE6 and I get two requests also. I'm 
wondering if this is a problem that mapserver is not sending some header 
or sending a broken header or what?

I have no clue, but it seems broken to me.

Subject: Latlong in, tmerc OSGB36 out?
Message-ID: <WED.15.NOV.2006.213130.0000.PEARSONDAVEHOTMAIL.COM>

Hello list,

I have a problem I just can't see the answer to, hope someone can help!
I have made a php mapscript service which accepts lat/long WGS84 GPS 
co-ordinates, but I wish to display the extents given in lat/long in the 
british ordnance survey transverse mercator projection, OSGB36. I have a 
mixture of shapefiles in both latlong (WGS84) and OSGB36.

I can get the service working accepting latlong and rendering latlong, but 
at the latitude of the UK everything looks really "squished" vertically.

How can I pursuade mapserver to project in OSGB36 yet still accept all input 
co-ords in latlong?  I think the clue may be in the "+to" of proj4 - or am I 
wrong in thinking mapserver can handle such a thing?

Here is my mapfile as it stands - unfortunately it's latlong, and doesnt 
honor the to - I think? Can anybody help please?

Subject: problem with units in mapserver
In-Reply-To: <455A38F3.8090608@pobox.com>
Message-ID: <WED.15.NOV.2006.144230.0700.FUNKBUCKETGMAIL.COM>

Hi Frank-
First off thanks for your interest. I've still been spending a lot of
time looking at this and I think I understand what is happening now.
Perhaps you could go through my reasoning (and look at my server if
you like) and see if you agree or if you have an alternate
explanation. So to recap we have a near gloabl 30 arcsecond dataset
(-180 to 180 and -65 to 65). We want to output Geotiffs using WCS. So
if I run gdalinfo on the original image (I have it in both geotiff and
ENVI format) I get Pixel Size = (0.00833333,-0.00833333), for both the
geotiff and the ENVI file. When I make a WCS request using
resx=0.00833333 and resy=0.00833333 the output image returned by
mapserver does not register correctly and gdalinfo returns Pixel Size
= (0.00836820,-0.00836820). You can see an example of this at:
http://67.172.150.199/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/dmsp4.map&SERVICE=WCS&REQUEST=GetCoverage&Coverage=F152003_tiff&STYLES=&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-119,33,-117,35&resx=0.00833333&resy=0.00833333&Format=geotiff
Additionally, the returned image is 240x240 pixels.
So the issue I was trying to explain was why does the pixel size
change (By the way, the geotiff does not have a world file, it has an
internal header).
If I crop the original image to -119,33,-117,35 in IDL using seconds
instead of degrees I get back an image that is 241x241 pixels and
matches the original data exactly. If I use GDAL to crop the image to
-119,33,-117,35 I get back an image that is 240x240 and matches the
orginal data exactly. The explanation for the difference in pixel size
is that IDL routine we use is inclusive when dealing with the last
line in the bounding box and GDAL is not. So the coordinates are
correct in both, but IDL has one additional line on the east and south
of the image while GDAL does not.
Mapserver seems to use a third logic. It tries to use 240x240 and be
inclusive of all the pixels in the bounding box, which leads to the
241 pixels being squished into 240 pixels.
Once we noticed this we tried using width=241 and height=241 instead
of resx resy and got back an image that matched our original data
exactly. You can see a sample of this at:
http://67.172.150.199/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/dmsp4.map&SERVICE=WCS&REQUEST=GetCoverage&Coverage=F152003_tiff&STYLES=&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-119,33,-117,35&width=241&height=241&Format=geotiff

I have put crops of the original data to 240x240 and 241x241 that
match the above requests at: ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/DMSP/test
in case you would like to compare for yourself. I'd also be happy to
make the whole image or other subsets available. So if this is correct
my question would be is this a bug or a feature. If you don't think it
is correct do you have any other thoughts? Thanks again for your help
and interest.

Ah, OK. Thank you. We have installed mapserver from a .deb package for
Debain Sarge, and I don't think there's a newer version available. If
possible, I'd like to avoid building from source, but it seems that
this is the only alternative in this case, so I'll give it a shot.

Thanks. I'll give it a try, and let you know how it turns out.

Hi Karin,

Can you please elaborate on the "did not work" bit?
What errors are you getting?

The core bit in the apache configuration (httpd.conf) is this:

ScriptAlias /php/ "/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"

This makes Apache execute PHP files. You may have to adjust it to suit your setup. And make sure to restart Apache after changes to httpd.conf.

Regards,

Jacob

Hi list,

What options are there for spatially joining the centroid of one polygon
layer to another polygon layer?

I have been trying to preprocess some data by running a join using postGIS,
but after 2+ hours I give up on it.  A similar join using the same data in
ArcView only takes 3 minutes.

My PostGIS layers have spatial indexes and running an EXPLAIN on the query
shows that the indexes are being used.

Any help figuring out how to optimize spatial joins (Or some links to get me
on the right track) would be greatly appreciated!

~Eric

The postgis list might be a better place for this, but here's my 02c :-)


If I understand your question correctly, what you want to do is along the lines
of:

select * from table1 t1, table2 t2
where t1.the_geom && t2.the_geom
  and centroid(t1.the_geom) && t2.the_geom
  and contains(centroid(t1.the_geom), t2.the_geom);

where t1.the_geom & t2.the_geom are spatially indexed polygon geometries.

So, the three where clauses filter out any polygons whose bounding boxes don't
overlap using the spatial index on both tables, then filter any centroids
whoich don't lie within the polygon bounding box (indexed on one side only, the
other fixed) then check the remainder that the centroid point lies within the
actual polygon.


One way I can see which might speed this up would be to create a column of
point geometries in t1, update that to equal the centroid of the t1 polygons &
create a spatial index on it. Then select on the two spatially indexed
attributes, instead of calculating the centroid each time.  


Cheers,

That's okay, you have to set the checkboxes with:

That's not okay.

I assume that's in your window.onload function. And I am guessing that
when you say the alert doesn't give any errors, the alert isn't
opening at all. So I don't think your window.onload is getting called,
or it is generating an error before legend_xml gets initialized.

Try moving your alert up earlier in the code to see where it's
crapping out. Like to the first line in window.onload() so you can see
if window.onload is even getting called.

Subject: Benchmarks about LUT colour correction and JPEG2000 drivers
Message-ID: <THU.16.NOV.2006.155131.0200.JUKKA.RAHKONENMMMTIKE.FI>

Hi,
 
I did some benchmarking while making an acceptance test for a new feature in MapServer, LUT colour correction on-the-fly by using predefined LUT-tables.  More information about this fine feature here:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data/#special-processing-directives <http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data/#special-processing-directives> 
Downloadable ready made MapServer -version for Windows can be found here:
 http://www.gdal.org/dl/fwtools/FWTools109.exe

Frank W. supposed my findings might interest the people reading mapserver-users or even gdal-dev lists, so I cross post this short kind of a test report to both.  
 
I had already checked that the new feature worked as supposed and next I was willing to see how big an effect applying LUT tables on-the-fly has on the efficiency of MapServer.  I set up a Jmeter project to send series of individual WMS requests to MapServer and recorder the server throughput with or without PROSESSING "LUT=..." argument.  Because I have the same images in GeoTIFF, JPEG2000 and ECW formats I desided to make also a quick test to see how MapServer performs with those.  There were actually four members in the format test because FWTools MapServer ships with two JPEG2000 drivers, JP2KAK and JP2ECW.
 
Here are the results in brief:
 
LUT-correction has a negligible effect on MapServer efficiency
   - server throughput without LUT-correction: 271 requests per minute
   - server throughput without LUT-correction: 268 requests per minute
 
There is a really significant difference between the two JPEG2000 drivers, JP2KAK and JP2ECW
   - server throughput with JP2ECW driver: 80 requests per minute
   - server throughput with JP2KAK driver: 24 requests per minute
 
MapServer likes ECW more than JPEG2000
  - server throughput with ECW images: 120 requests per minute
 
My tests should be otherwise quite reliable, but I am not sure if my test set is suitable for straight comparison between JPEG2000 and ECW because my JPEG2000 images were lossless and ECW images were compressed about to the ratio of 1 to 5.  However I am not aware of lossless JPEG2000 files being much harder to decompress than lossy ones even the file size is bigger if JPEG2000 codestreams are organised in a reasonable way, and that should be the case with my JPEG2000 files.
 
I believe that the results about ECW and JPEG2000 can not be generalised but they just tell what I was testing: how MapServer (or perhaps it is GDAL?) utilises them with certain drivers.  I have not found that big difference between ECW and JPEG2000 with other software, and to my experience Kakadu is about (or at least) as fast as ECW JPEG2000.   But for sure it seems to be so that MapServer performance with the current JP2KAK driver is quite bad compared to JP2ECW driver.  It should be no surprise that tiled TIFFs with overviews really suit MapServer best.

savequery works just fine with postgis. It turned out to be a silly
mistake on my part.

Thanks Steve!

Hello all of you,

I`m beginning with SLD. Locally on my Computer this works fine, but I wonder how I can change 
the map of the example of DM Solutions?


I have copied the xml-file out of the tutorial (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/sldhowto)
and saved it locally in the htdocs-directory of apache.

But if I run:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_world?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&Request=GetMap
&LAYERS=WorldGen_Outline&SLD=http://localhost/sld_line_simple.xml


nothing happens at all (the map is still green and does not change its color).

Who knows why?

Reinhard

New to MS. My question is this: I am wanting to use a logical expression
within a layer in my mapfile. The below expression will render the county
with the exact acreage of '438282.297'. How would I set it to display all
acreages in the field that are < 500,000 ? Syntax? I am running MS4W v
1.4.0.  Also, could this value (500,000) be set by a user through, say,
via a form?

Thanks much

Dear Sirs,
    My name is Husnul, and i am developing gis system.
    I have download and installed mapserver's rpms for FC5 from http://earth.jscc.ru/rpm/FC5/i386/
    but when i tried to rpm -ivh mapserver-4.xxx, it failed. it said that it needs libpdf.so.5
    
    before, i have install these package for pdflib-lite :
    pdflib-lite-7.0.0p3-1.fc5.remi  .i386.rpm
  php-pecl-pdflib-2.1.2-1.fc5.remi.i386.rpm
  and it turns out generate libpdf.so.6 instead of libpdf.so.5
  
  is anyone have install mapserver in FC5?
  because i was wandering, if i also install PDFLib-Lite-6.xxx. , will the  mapserver working properly? and  will mapserver-php also  working properly(php/mapscript)? and is mapserver-php-4.8.3-ns1.i386.rpm is compatible with php 5? (since in FC it used php5)
  
  Since i cant find php-pecl-PDFLib-Lite rpm. So i still use these two  installation (pdflib-lite-7.0.0p3-1.fc5.remi.i386.rpm,    php-pecl-pdflib-2.1.2-1.fc5.remi.i386.rpm)for php pdf function needs.
  
  
  Thank you for your attention
  
  Husnul

guys,
trying to put a geotiff in- works but not right. here's what's happening:

i download the geotiff from national atlas. when i give no proj info under
LAYER it shows up but not where it should (nwis). so i copy MAP proj to
LAYER proj hoping for some on-the-fly magic- again it shows up but nwis.

well i go over to
proj_list<http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/>and look up
the epsg (EPSG?) code (9820) from metadata but it throws the
"msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. no options found in 'init'
file" error. then i try all epsg codes given by gdalinfo ;) but same error.
although when i try the MAP epsg code (4326) it shows up but nwis.

so what's wrong here? think proj.exe geod.exe cs2cs.exe libgeotiff listgeo'd
help? now i don't think wld is needed because it's included with the geotiff
but i've tried with wld and no luck. i just hope i don't have to rectify in
arcmap. btw IMAGETYPE=png24 in case that matters.

John,

I don't believe there is an EPSG code corresponding to this coordinate
system:

PROJCS["TIFF 6.0, GeoTIFF Revision 1.0",
     GEOGCS["WGS 84",
         DATUM["WGS_1984",
             SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.2572235630016,
                 AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
         PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
         UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],
     PROJECTION["Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area"],
     PARAMETER["latitude_of_center",45],
     PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",-100],
     PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
     PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
     UNIT["metre",1,
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]]]

But the corresponding PROJECTION block to put in the LAYER definition
is:

  PROJECTION
   "+proj=laea +lat_0=45 +lon_0=-100 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m"
  END

At one time you could also put:
  PROJECTION
   "AUTO"
  END

and MapServer would read it from the geotiff file, but I'm not sure if this
still works.

Best regards,

Hello Reinhard,

The SLD-File must be reachable for the requested server. The server
www2.dmsolutions.ca couldn't read your local file. You can test it with your
server localhost or you must put the file to some server, where the file is
downloadable for the Internet.

Subject: getFilter() & setFilter() with PHP Mapscript
Message-ID: <THU.16.NOV.2006.215855.0100.ARMIN.BURGERGMX.NET>

Hi everybody

in PHP Mapscript the 'getFilter()' request applied on PostGIS layers 
having a filter defined in the map file returns a string already put 
into double quotes. This seems to be so since Mapserver 4.6. Since 
Mapserver 4.10 also the reverse 'setFilter()' seems to work only 
correctly for PostGIS layers if the filter is defined as string with 
literal double quotes around.

So that's not working:

   $mylayer->setFilter("field_1 = 2 AND field_2 = 2004");

That's working:

   $mylayer->setFilter('"field_1 = 2 AND field_2 = 2004"');

I wonder if this is an intended 'feature'.

Armin

Subject: Problems with mapserver and oblique projections
Message-ID: <THU.16.NOV.2006.222737.0100.ARNDWWTAL.DE>

Hello,

I have also played with some unusual projections and have entcountered the
same problem. I use mapserver 4.10 and as interface OpenLayers (on to
different machines). Some tiles look good, others not drawn at all or only
parts. Also differs the output on both servers. Zooming and the visible
layers effect also the output.

Here the example with epsg:44065
http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/ibbOLClient/OpenlayersClient.html?MAPNR=11801&LAY
ERS=11500&ZOOM=0&CENTER=0,0

And some others
http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/ibbOLClient/OpenLayersClient.html?KARTE=10504
http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/ibbOLClient/OpenlayersClient.html?MAPNR=12800&LAY
ERS=11500&ZOOM=0&CENTER=1660129.823,-415032.456
http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/ibbOLClient/OpenlayersClient.html?MAPNR=12400&LAY
ERS=11500&ZOOM=4&CENTER=-1426674.0662,-622548.6834


I have looked at many different projections and mostly there were no
problems with the output. 

http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/ibbOLClient/OpenlayersClient.html?MAPNR=12300&LAY
ERS=11500&ZOOM=0&CENTER=0,0

The blue screen layer is a shape with 30 degree lines (therefor it looks a
bit wrong sometimes), the grids all 1 degree lines.

ERS=kart,cdc,base.LATLON&TRANSPARENT=false&BGCOLOR=0x99B3CC&EXCEPTIONS=appli
cation/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image/png&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST
=GetMap&STYLES=&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&SRS=EPSG:44065
( http://tinyurl.com/ykem3c )

(red coastlines are drawn by mapserver, the grey land, the bluish coastlines
and the gridlines are drawn by an internal WMS-server.)

As you can see, mapserver omits most of the shapes close to the North Pole,
and there are some wrapping issues at the south pole. 

the proj-definition looks like this:

+proj=ob_tran +o_proj=eqc +lon_0=0 +o_lat_p=25 +a=57.29577953604224884
++b=57.29577953604224884 +no_defs <>

(the bizarre minor and major axis sizes are used to get
pseudo-decimaldegrees as units. I should probably use some scaling parameter
instead, but I was unable to find something that corresponds to the -m
command line parameter)

and my map is configured like this in the mapfile:

LAYER
  name "cdc"
  data "cntry00"
  status on
  type polygon
  PROJECTION
    "+proj=latlong"
    "+a=6371000"
    "+b=6371000"
  END
  CLASS
    STYLE
      outlinecolor 255 0 0
    END
  END
END


If the tilting is more severe, even more countries are left out of the
plot:

http://wms.met.no/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../vhosts/mercator/conf/google.map&LAY
ERS=kart,cdc,base.LATLON&TRANSPARENT=false&BGCOLOR=0x99B3CC&EXCEPTIONS=appli
cation/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image/png&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST
=GetMap&STYLES=&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&SRS=EPSG:44090

With no tilt at all, you basically get regular latlong coordinates, and now
all countries are being displayed:

http://wms.met.no/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../vhosts/mercator/conf/google.map&LAY
ERS=kart,cdc,base.LATLON&TRANSPARENT=false&BGCOLOR=0x99B3CC&EXCEPTIONS=appli
cation/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image/png&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST
=GetMap&STYLES=&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&SRS=EPSG:44000

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there something I can do to get
mapserver to plot all countries in this projection? (Preferrably without the
wrapping issues).

Message-ID: <THU.16.NOV.2006.223901.0100.ARMIN.BURGERGMX.NET>

Hi

the OWSRequest object for PHP Mapscript has a slight problem at least 
under Linux. As already mentioned by another user some weeks ago, the 
definition as described in the how-to

$request = ms_newOwsRequestObj();
$request->loadparams();

is also not working for me (Linux Debian and Ubuntu). There is no error 
in PHP neither Apache, just the page returned is completely empty as 
soon as the 'loadparams()' is applied.

For the ones interested in a fast workaround to use the really nice and 
flexible Mapscript OWS interface via PHP I used the following

$request = ms_newOwsRequestObj();

foreach ($_GET as $k=>$v) {
     $request->setParameter($k, $v);
}

This worked fine for me and the WMS service could be accessed by all 
clients I tested (all seem to use the GET request).

Hello Eric,

You can change values in the mapfile, when you use substitutions:

Z.Bsp.: EXPRESSION ('[PRJNR]' = '%PRJNR%') in the mapfile

And this in the Mapserver-Request (not WMS-Request)

?mode=map&....&PRJNR=1001&...

Than Mapserver sustitute %PRJNR% with the value 1001.

New to MS. My question is this: I am wanting to use a logical expression
within a layer in my mapfile. The below expression will render the county
with the exact acreage of '438282.297'. How would I set it to display all
acreages in the field that are < 500,000 ? Syntax? I am running MS4W v
1.4.0.  Also, could this value (500,000) be set by a user through, say, via
a form?

Thanks much

Message-ID: <THU.16.NOV.2006.221018.0000.PEARSONDAVEHOTMAIL.COM>

Is it possible (using php-mapscript if necessary) to persuade mapserver to 
produce rectangular labels with rounded corners, and a border which goes all 
the way around the label?
I have tried various permutations using the default labelling commands, and 
can get for example red text on a white background, but I can't figure out 
how to make a continuous red border.
Is it possible that the technique used to make a highway shield under a 
number could be extended such that a background would "stretch" to fit 
behind variable length text, like in an IMG in HTTP?
Many thanks,
Dave Pearson

I'm happy to give settings/sample files etc but maybe someone has some idea
what my problem is -- I'm guessing it has to do with the installation.

The following script:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require "mapscript"
include Mapscript

map=MapObj.new("test.map")
image = map.draw
image.save('test.png')

fails:

in `draw': msEvalExpresssion: Expression parser error. Failed to parse
expression;msyyparse(): Expression parser error. syntax
error;msEvalExpression: Expression parser error. Failed to parse
expression;msyyparse():
...

etc.

whereas the php script

<?php
if(!extension_loaded("MapScript")) {
   dl('php_mapscript.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);
}

$map = ms_newMapObj("test.map");

$image = $map->draw();
$image->saveImage('test.png');

?>

works fine.

map.drawLegend
and
map.drawScalebar
work fine.

Anyone have thoughts or what information would people need to diagnose?

Hi Karin,

Don't double up on the definitions in httpd.conf. If it's already in there, it ought to work.
Are you sure the root directory of your webserver is where you think it is? Can you open up any other file in that same directory? A normal HTML file? If so, there's something wrong with PHP. If not, your ServerRoot in httpd.conf isn't set right.
I have also heard of people getting a "cannot be found" error if php isn't running properly because of a missing DLL. But I suppose this is not the case now. Are you using MS4W out of the box? Did you change anything?

Regards,

Jacob

Hello Eric,
you can set a value for a dynamic expression in a form.
In the application http://131.173.78.240/diplomarbeit_freezvaut/
exactly this is done via php/mapscript (here "Fl?chengr??e" is the name
for area).

The source-code for this is downloadbar ar the
homepage http://www.umn-mapserver-community.de
(download -> point 11).

Dear Mapserver gurus,

I am encountering a problem when using a ogrs vrt tables against a mysql DB. 
The problem comes up when I try to access a table column which was create 
through an alias. e.g:
select n2n_wert, n2n_idflm, n2n_wertdat, n2n_idflaeche, frmt_wert, 
replace(replace(replace(format(n2n_wert,3),'.',';'),',','.'),';',',') as 
format_wert from n2n_flmflaeche;

format_wert cannot be used as TEXT in my mapfile using settext() in 
php-mapscript.
The error is as following:

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named 
'statistic'. in /var/www/web1/html/gis/config/test.php on line 6

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msOGRFileOpen(): Open failed for OGR connection 
` /var/www/web1/html/gis/config/statistic.ovf select n2n_wert, n2n_idflm, 
n2n_wertdat, frmt_wert, format_wert from bld join 
'/var/www/web1/html/gis/tmp/4ad12f9b5095f134e17c06691f429037.ovf'.values on 
AGS = n2n_idflaeche where AGS like '%' wkbPolygon GEOMETRY '. SQL statement 
failed, or returned no layer result: select n2n_wert, n2n_idflm, n2n_wertdat,

AGS = n2n_idflaeche where AGS like '%' 
in /var/www/web1/html/gis/config/test.php on line 6

The Layer-snippet from my mapfile:

    <OGRVRTLayer name='join'>
    <SrcDataSource>/var/www/web1/html/gis/config/statistic.ovf</SrcDataSource>

    <GeometryField>GEOMETRY</GeometryField>
    </OGRVRTLayer>

If I hardcode it in my mapfile and use the mapserv-CGI, everything works as 
expected.

Does anybody has any similar experiences?

Hi, 
 
Just a comment, actually you CAN use substitutions also in WMS-requests if you just get your WMS-client to send them through to Mapserver.  I made once a trial by using a variable as a part of the layer's database connection string and as a result I got a dynamic WMS layer with data changing according to this parameter.  This works fine if requests are sent directly from the client, for example a web browser.  Some WMS-clients are simply using the same WMS connection string that is used for GetCapabilities as a part of the GetMap request, and with those it is possible to use own variables if they are just added as extra parameters to the URL used for connecting the server.  However, this is not how WMS-clients should work. Instead they should use an URL returned by the GetCapabilities as "wms_connectionstring" for GetMap requests .  I tried also to pass my variable inside the layers "wms_connectionstring" attribute in the METADATA section of the mapfile as well in order to make the WMS layer flexibly queryable with any standard WMS client.  This did not work if I wrote something like &DATA=%variable% there because %variable% will not be substituted with the value but remains as textstring.  Perhaps variable substitution is not allowed everywhere in the mapfile, or?
 
A question for developers: I suppose that playing with extra parameters is not exactly forbidden by the WMS standards, but perhaps it may be a bit too Mapserver specific.  Would it be a nice feature or not to be able to use runtime expressions also with WMS?  Perhaps it would need no other changes than allowing runtime substitutions also for METADATA elements, or at least "wms_connectionstring".  Or is it already possible somehow?

I'm running SQL Server 2000 on a windows 2003 box. I've created an ovf file

When I try to use this in my mapfile it doesn't return anything.

It's almost as if mapserver can't use my system DSN.

If I fire a GetFeatureInfo request on that layer I get this error:
msOGRFileNextShape(): OGR error. SetAttributeFilter() not supported on
ExecuteSQL() results.

I'm running out of ideas on this.

Can anyone help me out?

Further investigations using SQL Profiler shows that it is hitting the DB

This happens for GetMap and GetFeatureInfo requests.

Any clues on what's going wrong?

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] ODBC for SQL Server 2000 not working

I'm running SQL Server 2000 on a windows 2003 box. I've created an ovf file
and tested that it returns data, all good.
When I try to use this in my mapfile it doesn't return anything.

LAYER
	NAME 				Test
	TYPE				POINT
	LABELCACHE 			ON
	CONNECTIONTYPE		OGR
	CONNECTION			"<OGRVRTDataSource>
					    <OGRVRTLayer name='test'>
	
<SrcDataSource>ODBC:user/pwd at DSNName</SrcDataSource> 
					 	<SrcSQL>EXEC
GM_GetSingleRecord 2076</SrcSQL> 
	
<GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType> 
					        <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>
						<GeometryField
encoding='PointFromColumns' y='Latitude' x='Longitude'/> 
					    </OGRVRTLayer>
					</OGRVRTDataSource>"
	METADATA
        "wms_title"			"test"
    	"gml_include_items" "all"
    	"wms_include_items" "all"
    END

	PROJECTION
		"init=epsg:4326"
	END

	STATUS				ON
	DATA 				"test"
	TEMPLATE
"E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Map\Data\test_query_template.html"
	CLASS
		SYMBOL 'circle'
		SIZE 7 
		COLOR 			0 0 0
		METADATA

		 "wms_feature_info_mime_type" "text/html"

        END # end of class metadata

    TEMPLATE
"E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Map\Data\test_query_template.html"

  END # end of class

END #end of layer

It's almost as if mapserver can't use my system DSN.

If I fire a GetFeatureInfo request on that layer I get this error:
msOGRFileNextShape(): OGR error. SetAttributeFilter() not supported on
ExecuteSQL() results.

I'm running out of ideas on this.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Steve

Subject: dgn annotation
Message-ID: <FRI.17.NOV.2006.144301.0100.AHERMANGEGILEMANS.COM>

Hi, 

i want to display the annotation layer of a dgn with mapserver via ogr with a specific font (not the default font)

in my dgn all my text object are associated with the font number 112

i try to put : "112 myfont.ttf" in my "fonts.txt" but mapserver always  use the default font

it try "default myfont.ttf" , it's work but i don't want to use "myfont.ttf" as the default one (pb with oteh mapfile that use dgn too)

is the "styleitem auto" option read the number of the police used in the dgn or displaying annotion layer of a dgn will always use the default font ?


thx

Albin

Steve,

You need an updated GDAL/OGR.  I think this bug was fixed post 1.3.2 so you
might need a nightly snapshot.

Sorry, this has been a cause of much agony and knashing of teeth.

Could be great to have Mapserver support it, in the future.

Can you point me to a place where I get the latest build that contains a fix
for this please.

Latest FWtools for windows should also fix this?

Eduardo,

Yes, but FWTools is quite a different package than MS4W.  FWTools lacks
PHP and all the packages built on that.

But, if raw mapserver + python mapscript fills a need then it might be
a good alternate.

mapserver rocks on-the-fly!

now what's the best way to avoid on-the-fly proj because that decreases
performance. do i have to manually rectify geotiff to vector in arcmap
(think human error)?

thanks a bunch man

Hi,

Try to use gdal_translate or gdalwrap to change projection. You can do it for 
all of your raster files.

I'm happy to give settings/sample files etc but maybe someone has some idea
what my problem is -- I'm guessing it has to do with the installation.

The following script:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require "mapscript"
include Mapscript

map=MapObj.new("test.map")
image = map.draw
image.save('test.png')

fails:

in `draw': msEvalExpresssion: Expression parser error. Failed to parse
expression;msyyparse(): Expression parser error. syntax
error;msEvalExpression: Expression parser error. Failed to parse
expression;msyyparse():
...

etc.

whereas the php script

<?php
if(!extension_loaded("MapScript")) {
   dl('php_mapscript.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);
}

$map = ms_newMapObj("test.map");

$image = $map->draw();
$image->saveImage('test.png');

?>

works fine.

map.drawLegend
and
map.drawScalebar
work fine.

Anyone have thoughts or what information would people need to diagnose?

Hi,

I've defined a symbol (a square) that I use with my point shapefile.

The problem is this: the symbol size varies with the map scale.

So, how can I identify the point if the symbol is greater, AND, within
the scale-based size of symbol ?

Jukka

for having real flexibility with WMS I would recommend using a small PHP 
(or Python, Ruby, etc) script with the OWS request functions available 
since version 4.10. You can virtually change everything, some parts are 
straightforward to do, some parts would need a bit more efforts.

Adding additional parameters to the resource URL is always possible and 
compliant with the specifications of WMS. Depending on that parameter 
(e.g. user key, service name) one can select the required map file, 
modify parameters in it, and so forth. This allows also to modify the 
"wms_connectionstring" based on the input parameter, and hence the 
corresponding tag in the capabilities XML. This way the additional URL 
key from the request will always be in the capabilities returned without 
having to write it statically in the map file.

A bit more work, and only needed in special cases, would be to apply an 
XSLT filter on the getCapabilities XML before sending it back to the 
client containing the information one would like to have. This could 
overcome some annoying behaviours of Mapserver with regard to 
layers/groups. It would allow to specify them in the way one would like. 
Or also to just present the layers that one would like, without having 
to create an additional map file for that (unfortunately one cannot 
delete layers of a map object with Mapscript).

Best regards

Armin

I made once a trial by using a variable as a part of the layer's database connection string and as a result I got a dynamic WMS layer with data changing according to this parameter.  This works fine if requests are sent directly from the client, for example a web browser.  Some WMS-clients are simply using the same WMS connection string that is used for GetCapabilities as a part of the GetMap request, and with those it is possible to use own variables if they are just added as extra parameters to the URL used for connecting the server.  However, this is not how WMS-clients should work. Instead they should use an URL returned by the GetCapabilities as "wms_connectionstring" for GetMap requests .  I tried also to pass my variable inside the layers "wms_connectionstring" attribute in the METADATA section of the mapfile as well in order to
 make the WMS layer flexibly queryable with any standard WMS client.  This did not work if I wrote something like &DATA=%variable% there because %variable% will not be substituted with the value but remains as textstring.  Perhaps variable substitution is not allowed everywhere in the mapfile, or?

> A question for developers: I suppose that playing with extra parameters is not exactly forbidden by the WMS standards, but perhaps it may be a bit too Mapserver specific.  Would it be a nice feature or not to be able to use runtime expressions also with WMS?  Perhaps it would need no other changes than allowing runtime substitutions also for METADATA elements, or at least "wms_connectionstring".  Or is it already possible somehow?

Hello List,

I wonder how to display the world coordinate when a user clicks on the map 
or drags a rectangle using mouse. I am quite ignorant to this type of 
programming.

I am using Mapserver and Rosa applet. But I can change to other 
configurations if necessary.

Your any suggestions or sample codes are appreciated!

Hi Karin,

If you have used MS4W out of the box, then all the DLL's should be there. However, I expect there is something wrong with your alias in httpd.conf, because it also can't find a normal HTML file, so there's no reason to think there's something wrong with PHP. Can you tell me what the syntax of your alias is?

Regards,

Jacob

? Hi Jacob,

? I tried to open a HTML file, but there is the same problem.

? think that I should move the php Directory somewhere else 
? (for example: C:)? At the moment everything (Apache and PHP 
? directories) is included in the MS4W Directory.
? 
? C:\ms4w\Apache\php        Here is included: the directories 
? dev, ext, extras, pear, and and some other files (for 
? example: go-pear.bat)
? 
? 
? C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin    Here is included: fdftk.dll, 
? php-cgi.exe, php-win.exe, php5apache.dll, php5apache2.dll,

? 
? I compared my php files with the file structure in

? 
? I found out that I do not have the php5activescript.dll? I is 
? this maybe the error?
? 
? Or could that be the error?
? In the Installing instruction they say that the php directory 
? should be on the C: drive, but my php directory is in the 
? MS4W directory. Then I would have to make some changes in the 
? httpd.conf - file.
?

Subject: Pb with "ANGLE FOLLOW" function
Message-ID: <MON.20.NOV.2006.143323.0100.JULIEN.MARTELFREE.FR>

Hello all,

I am trying to use the new "ANGLE FOLLOW" function included in MapServer/MapScript 4.10.0. But I only get a blank image. When I do not use this funtion, my map displays correctly so I guess I really have a problem with ANGLE FOLLOW. I read on MapServer's website I needed GD 2.0.29 and True Type font support. The version of GD installed on my server is 2.0.33 and I have Freetype 2.2.1 (I guess TrueType fonts are handled by Freetype). So what's wrong with my installation ?

P.S : Sorry for double posts, not sure I sent the first one the right way...

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile ogr with Oracle Spatial support.
I've uncommented ORACLE_HOME into nmake.opt (from a downloaded gdal) and then I compiled.
But if I try to check an OGR2OGR command on an Oracle Spatial table, ogr shows me a list of drivers where Oracle is not included. So it seems that it is still does not support Oracle.

Any suggestionson on compiling ogr?...

Subject: problem with MapServer global projection
Message-ID: <MON.20.NOV.2006.124808.0500.JDALYPANIX.COM>

All,

I'm a new MapServer user and list member, and I'd like to say hello to 
everyone.  I'm also running into a problem trying to create a global map 
projection, and I would appreciate any and all feedback. I'm trying to use 
the projection example in Web Mapping illustrated, but although I have Proj4 
support compiled in to MS, it does not seem to be actually using the new 
units and projection defined in my global.map file:

MAP
   CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "/usr/local/share/proj"
   PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:42304"
   END
#  PROJECTION
#     "proj=lcc"
#     "ellps=GRS80"
#     "lat_0=49"
#     "lon_0=-95"
#     "lat_1=49"
#     "lat_2=77"
#     "datum=NAD83"
#     "units=m"
#     "no_defs"
#  END

I've tried both approaches, and neither works.  The verbose switch to 
MapServer prints out:
.
./cgi-bin/mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS 
INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=SHAPEFILE

...and i'm using version 4.5 of Proj4.  both were compiled from source on 
RedHat 9

I do not getting any actual error message, just a failure to correctly use 
the new projection.  Has anyone run across this?  Is there an easy way to 
test if my proj4 support is not configured correctly?

Hi John,
Do you have a Projection object defined in your Layer object, too?

You probably need something like:
   projection
      "init=epsg:4326"
   end
If you are using DD...

MS needs to know what coordinate system your data is in before it can
reproject it.

Hello all,

I am trying to use the new "ANGLE FOLLOW" function included in MapServer/MapScript 4.10.0. But I only get a blank image. When I do not use this funtion, my map displays correctly so I guess I really have a problem with ANGLE FOLLOW. I read on MapServer's website I needed GD 2.0.29 and True Type font support. The version of GD installed on my server is 2.0.33 and I have Freetype 2.2.1 (I guess TrueType fonts are handled by Freetype). So what's wrong with my installation ?

P.S : Sorry for double posts, not sure I sent the first one the right way...

I'm not familiar with the Rosa applet, but in the CGI version, you can
simply place "[mapx], [mapy]" into your page, that should give you the
coordinates that the user last clicked.

In PHP/Mapscript, you can export it in a similar fashion:

$thepoint = ms_newpointObj();
$thepoint->setXY($_POST["map_x"],$_POST["map_y"]);

Percy,

Thanks, and yes, I was confused about how the source data gets reprojected 
to the definition of the output (or global) projection.  I got it going now.

I am using PHP Mapscript but planning to use CGI in the near future. That's pretty strange because my server is running under Red Hat 7.2 but I made a test on a Debian system, with exactly the same dependencies and versions and everything is working perfectly on the Debian system... ?!

In a layer for GPS sites I am using this query:

    DATA "SHAPE FROM (select s.id as id,s.site_id as site_id,upper(
s.site_code) as site_code,s.shape,nvl(s.city,'n/a') as city,sa.array_code as

The query works fine on its own, but when run via MapServer the query is run
for EACH matching record, so the apache error log looks like:

[Tue Nov 21 11:20:02 2006] [error] [client 132.239.152.99] [Tue Nov 21

...etc

On queries that return many results this really bogs down the server and
performance suffers big time. It seems like using FILTER wouldn't make a
difference since it would just replace the WHERE clause that already exists
in the query... Ideas? Something I'm doing wrong? This is in MapServer
4.6.2and Oracle 9i.

Thank you,

Thanks for you reply frank, i added the line to the SDE layers and still it didnt work ... 
  i followed your instrcutions for win32 in http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/fastcgi and compiled libfcgi to get the dll and lib files. Copied the dll file to cgi-bin dir and didnt add anything in the apache conf file and still the fastcgi doesnt work. 
   
  After compiling libfcgi do i have to add anything in the apache conf file.
   
  Thanks for your time ...

You also need to add the following line to all SDE layers.

Quoting the Raster Data Access HOWTO
<http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data>:

"The list of files forming a layer can be stored in a shapefile with
polygons
 representing the footprint of each file, and the name of the files.
This is
 called a TILEINDEX ..."

The tileindex, we're told, is defined in the map file like this:

LAYER
  NAME "hpool"
  STATUS ON
  TILEINDEX "hp2.shp"
  TILEITEM "Location"
  TYPE RASTER
END

My question is then: Is it possible (and if yes, desirable) to read the
tileindex from a PostGIS data source instead of a shapefile - i.e. use
gdatindex to create the tileindex, then convert the index .shp using
shp2pgsql and stuff it into PostGIS. My understanding is that using
plain ole shapefiles you miss out on the gist indexing and thus suffer
a performance loss.

It's currently not.  There's a bug filed in ms4w for this:

That is correct, Perl mapscript is not available in MS4W.  For an 
uptodate list of what is inside MS4W, always refer to the 
README_INSTALL.txt in the package, or online at 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html

Kristian,

My understanding is that shapefiles with a spatial index (qix, generated
with the shptree utility in mapserver) are actually faster than postgis
access to the same data. I've had excellent performance with shapefiles 
for the display side of things, and PostGIS for the querying capabilities.

Kristian, 

You can use a PostGIS query as a tileindex.  Take a look at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_time_support/#example-of-wms
-t-with-postgis-tile-index-for-raster-imagery

If you are looking for performance, I am guessing that you can do better
with spatially-indexed shapefiles.  Have you created quadtree indexes
for your tileindex shapefile?  Take a look at shptree:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/utilityreference/shptree

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Raster tile indexing in PostGIS


Quoting the Raster Data Access HOWTO
<http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data>:

"The list of files forming a layer can be stored in a shapefile with
polygons  representing the footprint of each file, and the name of the
files. This is  called a TILEINDEX ..."

The tileindex, we're told, is defined in the map file like this:

LAYER
  NAME "hpool"
  STATUS ON
  TILEINDEX "hp2.shp"
  TILEITEM "Location"
  TYPE RASTER
END

My question is then: Is it possible (and if yes, desirable) to read the
tileindex from a PostGIS data source instead of a shapefile - i.e. use
gdatindex to create the tileindex, then convert the index .shp using
shp2pgsql and stuff it into PostGIS. My understanding is that using
plain ole shapefiles you miss out on the gist indexing and thus suffer a
performance loss.

Can you use the TEXT keyword to label something with "boilerplate" text, 
like TEXT ("Route number: "[route_num])

One of my students was trying to get something like this working 
recently, and I thought it should be possible...

Oh my.

Is this the general consensus? I.e. if I'm just using MapServer
for displaying data and not using any of the spatial query
stuff from PostGIS, I'm better off (performance-wise) with plain
old shapefiles?

And if so, is the fact that ArcSDE is seemingly faster than
plain old shapefiles just another ESRI license selling
point to get people to shell out money for SDE? ;-)

If yes, it's going to be hard to convince my bosses that we don't
need the database, but I'll try :-)

Kristian,

Yes, you can also use another layer as the tileindex by putting a layer
name in the TILEINDEX keyword instead of the name of a shapefile.  In
case of conflict a layer with a matching name would be used ahead of a
shapefile.

Normally the layer should be of type POLYGON and can be a connection to
any feature data store, including postgis.

The TILEITEM is still used to give the name of the column with the path
in it.  For the most part things work similarly to a shapefile.  In fact,
internally I believe the code creates a temporary layer for the direct
shapefile tileindex access anyways.

Thanks Lowell,

I'd love it.  Need?  Well, I could also just learn Python/PHP I guess,
as I am in the early stages of a personal project.  I'll probably end up
doing that since I need functionality sooner than later... So I'd count
me as representative of someone coming to MapServer, but not necessarily
using it by the time MapScript for Perl on Windows was released...

Thanks again to everybody,

A windows port of perl mapscript has been discussed at different times

Kristian,

For simple cases the consensus is that shapefiles with a spatial
index are faster in mapserver than postgis is.  There are exceptions
of course, such as when you want to do attributes based queries which
cannot be indexed in shapefiles with mapserver.

> And if so, is the fact that ArcSDE is seemingly faster than

It is hard to imagine that SDE is really faster for simple operations
than a shapefile unless they have made no effort to make shapefiles
fast.  I would presume the main selling points of SDE are about
shared access in a workgroup, "managability", and the ability to
do complicated RDBMS'ish things (like joins) efficiently.

> If yes, it's going to be hard to convince my bosses that we don't

You don't have to try too hard.  Postgres+postgis is still quite fast.
But if you are very performance sensitive and the other attributes aren't
important to you then shapefiles will generally be better for mapserver
feature data (and tileindexes).

Don't forget the spatial index though!

Bruce,

What happens if you remove FORCE ON (should be FORCE TRUE), or change it 
to FORCE FALSE?  You might also try POSITION AUTO.  With so many labels 
you'll really have to finesse POSITION, FORCE, LABELMINSCALE, 
LABELMAXSCALE, PARTIALS, and possibly other parameters just right for 
each layer.

Hi,

I am trying for the first time to build mapserver from source on
CentOS 4.4 (RHEL 4 clone), and have hit a compilation error.

The error is as below :


./libmap.a(mapgeos.o)(.text+0x180b): In function `msGEOSArea':
/root/build/mapserver-4.10.0/mapgeos.c:1114: undefined reference to `GEOSArea'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [shp2img] Error 1


Can someone tell me if I need a specific version of the GEOS package,
or any other package. I have tried as much aspossible to follow the
linux build example given.

I include below a script I am using that gives all the versions and how I build.

Thanks

Frank et al,
 
First, your comments and thoughts are much appreciated. I am trying to form a picture for the infrastructure we are going to build to serve a high-performance WMS with fairly static data, so I guess shapefiles sound more efficient than the database access. But one thing came to mind while buying my groceries - how do shapefiles perform under increasing load on the server? I.e. is it possible for several instances of MapServer to read concurrently from the same shapefile and spatial index, or will the database help on performance in this scenario? I know it's dependent on the nature of my data and the number of concurrent users, but if it's possible to give some sweeping comments on this issue I'm very interested in hearing your opinions.
 
best,
Kristian

Hi,
I have a problem about the use of MapServer from a Java program.
I am using the following environment:
-) NetBeans IDE 5.0
-) Windows
-) I also added the "mapscript.jar" file to the project Libraries,
extracted from "ms4w_1.5.1.zip" and in the "MANIFEST.MF" is reported:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.5.0_06 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

With this set up on NetBeans I compiled succesfully.
When I tried running the program I got a first issue at the following line:
   mapObj myMap = new mapObj("mapFile.map");

The error was:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no mapscript in java.library.path

To try solving this issue I copied the file "mapscript.dll" (found in the
same directory as "mapscript.jar") in the project directory
"project\build\web\WEB-INF\classes",
but still I have an error on the same line, thought different:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
        at edu.umn.gis.mapscript.mapObj.<init>(mapObj.java:312)

I am sure this is a configuration issue, but I didn't find any help
on-line on how-to configure the library to work with Java.
Is there anyone could help me?

Thank you,
Francesco Martinelli.

Thanks for your help Dylan.  That is certainly helping.  I removed
FORCE, dropped my SYMBOLSCALE, and removed PARTIALS.  The collisions are
not happening now (probably because of FORCE being removed).  I would
like PARTIALS to stay on but they are messy - crossing boundaries, etc.
Is there some way to force labels in a polygon to stay in the same
position relative to the center - I don't want them moving around every
time a user pans or zooms in?

Thanks again.

Bruce,

What happens if you remove FORCE ON (should be FORCE TRUE), or change it
to FORCE FALSE?  You might also try POSITION AUTO.  With so many labels
you'll really have to finesse POSITION, FORCE, LABELMINSCALE,
LABELMAXSCALE, PARTIALS, and possibly other parameters just right for
each layer.

If your data is pretty static, it might be doing it this way.  You could
create a point shapefile to use as label points.  You would then create
a layer of type ANNOTATION to place your labels.  This is a lot more
work up front, but it guarantees that the labels will be exactly where
you want them.

Most probably you forgot to add mapscript.jar to the CLASSPATH
Also, for the DLL problem you had before, I would recommend
relaying on platform independent mechanisms, i.e. copying the DLL
to a directory one assumes might be in the library loading path is
not a sure bet and it definitely would not apply for any platform -
one should use "-Djava.library.path=..." for this kind of situation.

Kristian,

Generally speaking the shapefiles, and the spatial indexes will get cached
in RAM.  As long as your server has lots of ram, multiple concurrent access
should be no problem.  In this regard I think shapefiles will do at least
as well as an RDBMS given the same piece of hardware and RAM.  If you are
planning for very heavy use, don't skimp on RAM.

Best regards,

Hi Paul

I made the experience that Mapserver 4.10 just compiles with GEOS 
version 3, currently as release candidate 2. Mapserver 4.8 compiled fine 
with Geos 2.2.

Message-ID: <THU.23.NOV.2006.143037.0800.CHRISLISTNARX.NET>

Hey guys,

I'm in urgent need of help highlighting where in mapwms i can turn off the url encoding problems mentioned in bugs #1296 and 1303. The bugs look old but appears to still be a problem with 4.10

We have unfortunately found a WMS server which has stricter requirements on encoded elements than mapserver does!

eg. Mapserver client is still requesting LAYERS=One%2CTwo& instead of LAYERS=One,Two which causes significant problems in various places such as the format and bbox string.

Cheers

I have installed MS4W for Windows, with maplab, chamaleon, php 4.4.2 ...
I am with problems when I make a request on layer lodged in a oracle data

is correctly.

Im using oraclespatial method , not by OCI.

Subject: Sudden death of mapserver appliation
Message-ID: <THU.23.NOV.2006.015003.0800.BENJAMINSIMSYAHOO.COM>

Hi,

I recently developed and deployed my first mapserver application. After finally sorting out the installation process, it went well and seemed stable.

However, yesterday the map generation was failing with the following error:

Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib/php4/php_mapscript.so' - /usr/lib/php4/php_mapscript.so:
undefined symbol: php_sprintf 
Fatal error:  Call to undefined function:  ms_newmapobj()

Searching for the above comes up with not much (see for example http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.mapserver.user/18015 - libraries look normal, and nothing has been changed there)

The only recent things changed on this server:

 - the admin making apache config changes. He says that he has removed them and the server is as before
- I installed some python libraries. Could this have messed up the libraries linked by mapserver?

Could anybody give me any pointers as to the sorts of things that might cause this?

Thanks,
Benjamin

Subject: Oracle spatial query

Hi Ian,
    This issue it's relate with the way how Mapserver executes the query's.
    Mapserver core call's the Oracle Spatial driver to request the data,
but juts forward one by one record. This error occur for all the
database drivers (Oracle Spatial, PostGIS). One suggestion to improve
the query's in Oracle server it's have a index in your ID column. Did
you measure (time to finish) the query from Mapserver using SQLPlus
directly?
    The FILTER parameter just will help to draw the map, don't help in
query mode. I suggest to you to always use the FILTER parameter (or
RELATE if you need more precision in the bbox) to improve the performance.
    Best regards.

Subject: mapserver ebuild for gentoo
Message-ID: <THU.23.NOV.2006.123225.0100.DOBESLNX.CZ>

Hi everyone,

I found install how-to with direct link to ebuild on http://maps.tikiwiki.org/page12 . I used it for some time. Now I add pdf to my USE flags and mapserver is ending recompilation with error:

In file included from /usr/include/geos.h:27,
                 from mapgeos.cpp:83:
/usr/include/geos/geom.h:145:2: warning: #warning *** FIXME: to be

In function `geos::geom::Geometry*
msGEOSShape2Geometry_point(pointObj*)': mapgeos.cpp:110: error:
`GEOSException' has not been declared

etc.

Because I already compile it well, it cause (imho) some new libs version. It is easier to try new version, so... Is somewhere ebuild for mapserver 4.10.0 ?

I was searching for some time and I found nothing. Is there anyone could help me?

Thanks

What about the SRID? Is it set in Oracle-Metada?
You may query it in SQL+ with

select table_name,srid from user_sdo_geom_metadata where 
table_name='RED_FERROCARRIL'
(or 
 select "OWNER", table_name, srid from user_sdo_geom_metadata where 
table_name='RED_FERROCARRIL')

Hi,
    How did you imported the data to OracleSpatial? From shape to databse?
    Did you already tryed to execute the query that Mapserver used in
SQLPlus? Are you use some projection in your mapfile?
   Best regards.

Hi,

I'd like to ask if it's possible to query my MapServer WMS with an online
viewer ?
I can't seem to find one, welll, one that supports SRS 31300 (Belgium)....
Thought http://www.wmsviewer.org would work but it seems to be offline.
Any help is very welcome !
Thanks !

Hi,
    How did you imported the data to OracleSpatial? From shape to databse?
    Did you already tryed to execute the query that Mapserver used in
SQLPlus? Are you use some projection in your mapfile?
   Best regards.

Theses are not ready-to-use for your purposes, but you can setup an online 
viewer easily with:

http://giserver.esrin.esa.int/quickwms/nav001.htm
or
http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/wms.html (free software openalyers)

In both cases, you just need to copy/paste the code, and to add your own 
layers to setup a dedicated online viewer for your data quickly.

Subject: php_mapscript problem, which is not present in cgi-mode
Message-ID: <THU.23.NOV.2006.154611.0100.STEPHAN.HOLLINTEVATION.DE>

Dear Mapserver-gurus,

I am working with php_mapscript 4.8.4 and have some strange investigations.

When I use an ovf-table construct and use the shp2img-tool, the correct image 
gets rendered, but not using php_mapscript.

my testcase:
 dl("php_mapscript_48.so");
 $mapFile = "/var/www/web1/html/gis/config/testmap_2classes.map";
 $map = ms_newMapObj($mapFile);
 $image=$map->draw();
 $image_url=$image->saveWebImage();

the error:
Warning: [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named 
'statistic'. in /var/www/web1/html/gis/config/test.php on line 6

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msOGRFileOpen(): Open failed for OGR connection 
`join_together.ovf'. SQL statement failed, or returned no layer result: 
select n2n_wert, n2n_idflm, n2n_wertdat, frmt_wert, format_wert from bld join 
'join.ovf'.values on AGS = n2n_idflaeche where AGS like '%' 
in /var/www/web1/html/gis/config/test.php on line 6

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object 
in /var/www/web1/html/gis/config/test.php on line 8

ogrinfo reports no errors when accessing the join_together.ovf itself.

Thanks for any pointers on this.

Best

	Stephan

Hi,
    Did you have define any projection in your mapfile?
    It is not a SRID problem bacause when occur SRID problem the Oracle
error related appear.
    How did you call the Mapserver to generate this error? How it's your
map extent? Try to define the extent of your map with the extent (mbr)
of your layer, you can check it using this SQL:
    select SDO_AGGR_MBR(shape) from RED_FERROCARRIL;
    Best regards.

Yes you are right. My issue was I had geos 2.2.1 rpm installed and as
the link path has /usr/lib first ( when I think it should have
-l/path/to/geos ) it tried to compile against 2.2.3 and link against
2.2.1. So both an issue with me and the Makefile. Can I suggest this
is changed in the link line.


Thanks

Paul.

Subject: I need the ability to be able to display ECW and JPEG2000 format
 files within MapServer via a Community Mapbuilder client which
 sends WMS requests for the images to MapServer
Message-ID: <THU.23.NOV.2006.141926.0500.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I need the ability to be able to display ECW and JPEG2000 format files
within MapServer via a Community Mapbuilder client which sends WMS requests
for the images to MapServer.  My current architecture is PostGreSQL database
connected to PostGIS which connects to GeoServer on Apache Tomcat and
Community Mapbuilder client which sends WMS requests for the images to
GeoServer.  I would like to be able to send similar requests to MapServer
for compressed Raster data but instead of going to PostGIS I would like to
connect to the ECW (which are compressed Raster) files and JPEG2000 files.
Since I have never installed or used MapServer before I would appreciate it
if someone could give my a high level overview of what I would need to do as
far as:

1.) What should I download for a windows server if all I want to do is
display ECW and JPEG2000 files via WMS?
2.) What configuration is necessary on the server in order to display via
WMS for ECW and JPEG2000 files and what location should I place these files?
3.) What is the format for both a GetMap and GetCapabilities request on the
client side which in my case is Community Mapbuilder.

Thanks,

John,

You don't specify what platform you want to deploy on.  The trick with
JPEG2000 and ECW support is getting a binary build for your platform that
has these formats included.

I have a service at http://maps.gdal.org serving a big south american
landsat scene from ecw.  I'll provide details on my configuration.  You
may find it helpful to take a similar approach.

I am using the "standalone" FWTools binaries for linux
(http://fwtools.maptools.org).  In my Apache cgi-bin directory I have
the script mapserv_landsat which looks like this:

-----------------------
#!/bin/sh

export MS_MAPFILE=/home/warmerda/maps/landsat.map
. /opt/FWTools-1.0.0a2/fwtools_env.sh
exec /opt/FWTools-1.0.0a2/bin/mapserv "$*"
-----------------------

This basically invokes the FWTools mapserver executable with a
preconfigured mapfile.  The FWTools binaries include essentially all
required libraries.  The mapfile looks like the following and includes
sufficient metadat to serve via WMS and WCS.  I think there may be a
bit of extra cruft in there too.

MAP

     END
     DUMP TRUE
     PROJECTION

     END
   END
END

Note that to use an ecw file (or jpeg2000 file) you just specify the
name in the DATA line for the layer.

The getcapabilities url for my service is:
 
http://maps.gdal.org/cgi-bin/mapserv_landsat?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

I hope this helps.

Good luck,

I generally agree with Frank, but I have had one anecdotal report from a 
user that they found PostGIS faster than Shape files on plain old read 
operations once the concurrency cranked up.

Now, I can think of no technical reason why that might be so, and I have 
never independently verified the report, but it is something that keeps 
me from blanket saying "Shape files are faster for simple read 
workloads" anymore.

(Maybe someone here can do a test?)

Hi Jos?,
     Can you try to don't use projection for your Mapfile and layer? The
global projection of the Mapfile is the same of the you layer?
     Try to define the map extent as 195210,089 4075810,31 533545,364
4261747,98 and apply this request:
          http://localhost:81/cgi-bin/mapserver?map=<path to your
mapfile>&mode=map&layers=ferrocarriles
     Best regards.

Fernando Simon

From g.berry at VIRGIN.NET  Fri Nov 24 02:34:39 2006
From: g.berry at VIRGIN.NET (Graham Berry)
Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 10:34:39 -0000
Subject: PHP/MapScript Multi-Language Labels
Message-ID: <FRI.24.NOV.2006.103439.0000.>

Hi,
 
I have been using MapServer and MapScript for a few years and now have a
requirement to display Bulgarian, Greek and Turkish language labels for
points on my maps. Under the standard installations of MapServer (4.8.1)
the "ENCODING UTF-8" command in the map file does not seem to have any
effect.
 
Does anyone have any further information/experience on this feature?

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the information.  I had a couple of questions:

You said below:
"
I am using the "standalone" FWTools binaries for linux
(http://fwtools.maptools.org).  In my Apache cgi-bin directory I have
the script mapserv_landsat which looks like this:

-----------------------
#!/bin/sh

export MS_MAPFILE=/home/warmerda/maps/landsat.map
. /opt/FWTools-1.0.0a2/fwtools_env.sh
exec /opt/FWTools-1.0.0a2/bin/mapserv "$*"
"

How would the above be revised on a windows system?  The exec statement  I
would replace the /opt with /program files since FWTools is within the
"program files" folder on windows.  What about the
. /opt/FWTools-1.0.0a2/fwtools_env.sh statement?  I don't see anything
called fwtools_env.sh within the FWTools folder.  What is #!/bin/sh is this
a linux statement?

Thanks,

John J. Mitchell

John,

Actually I ran into this issue the other day as well - how to use
the FWTools mapserver cgi on windows.  If you just copy everything from
FWTools-1.0.9\bin into your cgi-bin directory things will mostly work.
But because some environment variables (normally set by bin\setfwenv.bat)
won't be set, things like datum shifting, some EPSG lookups and a few
other subtle issues won't work.  You can presumably introduce SetEnv
calls in your apache configuration for all these environment variables.

But altogether this is not a very satisfactory situation.  What I really
would like to be able to do is have the cgi run a .bat file which sets
calls setfwenv.bat and then invokes the executable.

I can't imagine copying all that "junk" into an externally invokable
cgi-bin directory is all that safe.

Best regards,

Hi Frank,

So I need to copy everything from FWTools/bin to Apache2.2/cgi-bin and
instead of calling your "mapserv_landsat" script instead call
mapserv.exewithin getCapabilitites and getMap WMS requests but how do
I reference the
mapfile within these requests?

Thanks,

John J. Mitchell

John,

You would include MAP=C:\yourmap.map in the url.  So a request might end up
looking like:

http://maps.gdal.org/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:\yourmap.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

Frank,

when running the following in IE:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:\yourmap.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

I get the following:

A message saying "Internal Server Error"check the apache error log, you will
probably find that it says "Premature end of script headers"John J. Mitchell

Subject: fid in WFS Client (query templates)
Message-ID: <SUN.26.NOV.2006.120338.0100.MCOLADASTELEFONICA.NET>

Hello List,
I can not get the fid atribute with template query with MapServer in CGI.
I have a layer with data from a WFS Server. Before, in GML file, fid was 
a id atribute:

<gml:featureMember>
        <miprefijo:provincias>
            <miprefijo:id>10</miprefijo:id>
            <miprefijo:ine_prov>36</miprefijo:ine_prov>
        </miprefijo:provincias>
</gml:featureMember>

and I get it with a template as:

<data>
    <id>[miprefijo:id]</id>
    <ine_prov>[miprefijo:ine_prov]</ine_prov>
</data>

but now the GML is:

<gml:featureMember>
        <miprefijo:provincias fid="provincias.4">
            <miprefijo:ine_prov>36</miprefijo:ine_prov>
        </miprefijo:provincias>
</gml:featureMember>

and i can not get it. is possible?

My MapServer version is 4.8.3, and by the bug 1946 I can not update it.

Best regards,
    Miguel

Dear Ren?,
if i don't miss something there is no CLASSITEM in the Layer and no 
EXPRESSION in the different CLASSE's. So Mapserver draws all items with 
the style of your first class. All others are not taken into account. 
Just define an expression in each CLASS to do the classification and it 
should work as expected.
Kind regards,
Peter

Subject: Mapserver 4.10 configure bug?
Message-ID: <SUN.26.NOV.2006.133113.0500.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

Hi all,

I ran into an interesting configuration bug in mapserver:

./configure \
   --with-httpd=/usr/sbin/apache \
   --with-proj \
   --with-gd \
   --with-freetype \
   --with-postgis \
   --with-tiff \
   --without-wms \
   --with-wmsclient

I wanted to disable wms server support, but include wms layer support.

This configures just fine, but blows up on compile with:

Hi all,

Just downloaded and built mapserver 4.10 and I'm have a strange problem 
with a WMS Layer.

The apache error log says:

If I load the URL directly into the browser is returns fine, but from 
mapserver I get

HTTP: HTTP GET request failed with status 403 () ... from above.

The layer definition looks like:

Anyone have a clue on what I'm doing wrong, or is this a bug?

Hi,

I'm new to Mapserver as well. And I've the same problem as Neelima.

I also follow the instruction of documentation. I couldnt view my map on the
brower when i set my image type = png and using jboxpng.class and
jBoxPNG.jar,png.jar. But when I switch it to gif, and using jbox.class and
jbox.jar, i can view the map.

Although I can view my map in the browser now. I still couldnt use the
rubber band function, i.e. zoom in.
I can draw the red box on my map, however  the map wont zoom in after I draw
the red box, error are also shown.

Anyone had the same problem and can help me?


Thanks a lot in advanced!!


Cheers,
Song

I'd say so, definitely looks like a bug to me.

Hi all,

I ran into an interesting configuration bug in mapserver:

./configure \
   --with-httpd=/usr/sbin/apache \
   --with-proj \
   --with-gd \
   --with-freetype \
   --with-postgis \
   --with-tiff \
   --without-wms \
   --with-wmsclient

I wanted to disable wms server support, but include wms layer support.

This configures just fine, but blows up on compile with:

mapwmslayer.c: In function `msBuildWMSLayerURL':
mapwmslayer.c:540: warning: implicit declaration of function 
`msOWSParseVersionString'
mapwmslayer.c:543: error: `OWS_1_0_8' undeclared (first use in this 
function)

Should I write a bug against this?

Message-ID: <SUN.26.NOV.2006.223028.0500.TOM.KRALIDISEC.GC.CA>

Hi,

I understand shapeObj->distanceToShape() returns a float of the distance
from, say, shape a to shape b.

Is there anyway to fetch the actual vertices of the shapes at either end
which defined the distance to/from (for example, if applying this
against two polygons)?

Thanks

Hopefully it will be alive in the morning.

Hi,
 
So the classitem seems to be there, but I cannot see either the EXPRESSION that should be on each of your CLASS definitions. I am not totally sure about the syntax but I suppose it should be like
EXPRESSION "Movil Patente 0" if that is the exact string for building this class.
 
Regards,

	Dear Ren?,
	if i don't miss something there is no CLASSITEM in the Layer and no
	EXPRESSION in the different CLASSE's. So Mapserver draws all items with
	the style of your first class. All others are not taken into account. 
	Just define an expression in each CLASS to do the classification and it
	should work as expected.
	Kind regards,
	Peter

Hi list,

(First off, to clarify: In my terminology 1:10.000 is a LARGER scale
than 1:20.000. This seems to be the reverse of Mapserver's definition.)

I was under the impression that the numbers in MAXSCALE and MINSCALE
were defined like this:

	MAXSCALE 10000 # Meaning layer is drawn at down to 1:10000, but
not at smaller scales

But when I define my layers like this and publish a WMS, the
GetCapabilities doc states:

	<ScaleHint min="0" max="4.98902848429637" />

And when I yank the WMS into ArcMap, it says that my layer has a minimum
scale of 1:17.639 where I wanted 1:10.000 ...

This leaves me very confused as to what the number in the MAXSCALE
actually means and how this is translated into the number in the WMS
definition. Can anybody shed light on this? If this is just a case of
RTFM a link would be appreciated ;-)

best regards,
Kristian Thy

Message-ID: <MON.27.NOV.2006.140458.0100.B.VDEIJNDENAGI.RWS.MINVENW.NL>

MAXSCALE 10.000 in Mapserver means it will be drawn from 0 to 10000.

For ScaleHint values, you need to make sure you define the RESOLUTION (in dpi) in Mapserver like the OGC does, you need to use:

RESOLUTION 90.71

in the MAP section.

To calculate between scale (where I mean for instance the value of 10000) and scalehint values you could use:

scale = ([resolution in dpi]*39.3701*[scalehint])/sqrt(2)

39.3701 is the number of inches per meter.

Best regards,
Bart

Hello 

I still have trouble with WKT strings 
Iam running on a windows 2003 server with php 4.4.2 and mapserver 4.8.1 and is the one downloaded from maptools
http://dl.maptools.org/dl/
http://maptools.org/php_mapscript/index.phtml?page=downloads.html
My problem is that 4.8.1 has gdal 1.3.1 and thats the one with the error  (that the wkt string cannot be longer than 512 chars) 
and what I found out is that 4.8.4 has the 1.3.2 with has fixed the WKT string problem 

Iam not experience enough to make a new build myself to make Binary Packages - win32 
and do not have much experience with PHP/windows/mapserver because the project was handed to me a while ago
So right now iam trying to get http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#how-to-install-ms4w to work, but not having any luck with me at the moment.

So could any help me with a build with GDAL 1.3.2 that I can setup on a windows with IIS
It should be with php 4 .

Med venlig hilsen
 
Jeppe Lund Andersen

Subject: WFS, FeatureQuery, & ResultSets
Message-ID: <MON.27.NOV.2006.135234.0700.DPS1UALBERTA.CA>

Folks,

 

I use MapServer to overlay point data on shapefile layers using an ODBC OGR
connection. I'm writing to solicit ideas for how to best design a geocoding
error checking query. In addition to having the requisite latitudes and
longitudes, the ODBC data source also has client documented State/Province
names in full. What I hope to do is perform something like a FeatureQuery to
find all records within the ODBC data source whose documented State/Province
& latitude/longitude do not correspond to that in the shapefile (i.e. find
all database records whose latitude/longitude fall outside the client's
documented State/Province). What I ultimately need to do is produce a
recordset containing these erroneous records.either the client documented
State/Province is wrong or (more likely) their documented latitude or
longitude are wrong. In either case, I need to spit these out for clients.

 

So, what are the steps I need to do to execute this? Perhaps something like:

 

1.    Produce temporary shapefile of points (ogr2ogr)

2.    Execute a FeatureQuery

3.    Produce WFS of results

4.    Parse WFS for RecordSet

 

There must be an easier way.

David,

That was just the solution I needed.  Exact label placement is much more

If your data is pretty static, it might be doing it this way.  You could
create a point shapefile to use as label points.  You would then create
a layer of type ANNOTATION to place your labels.  This is a lot more
work up front, but it guarantees that the labels will be exactly where
you want them.

Thanks for your help Dylan.  That is certainly helping.  I removed
FORCE, dropped my SYMBOLSCALE, and removed PARTIALS.  The collisions are
not happening now (probably because of FORCE being removed).  I would
like PARTIALS to stay on but they are messy - crossing boundaries, etc.
Is there some way to force labels in a polygon to stay in the same
position relative to the center - I don't want them moving around every
time a user pans or zooms in?

Thanks again.

Bruce,

What happens if you remove FORCE ON (should be FORCE TRUE), or change it
to FORCE FALSE?  You might also try POSITION AUTO.  With so many labels
you'll really have to finesse POSITION, FORCE, LABELMINSCALE,
LABELMAXSCALE, PARTIALS, and possibly other parameters just right for
each layer.

I seem to recall that that was a known "feature" of that version, that it
wouldn't report SUPPORTS=POSTGIS in the query string. Try it with some
data and see how it works.

Of course, I meant to say that it wouldn't report it in the "version
string" not the "query string" Sorry - brain fart.

Any WMS experts online, I still haven't figured this one out.

Is it just me or has the list been pretty quite lately?

Subject: installation questions
Message-ID: <MON.27.NOV.2006.174413.0800.RAVIKAPOOR101GMAIL.COM>

Hi there, I have a fee questions regarding installation:

1. I do not want to compile mapserver. Is 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/fgs the best place to get mapserver binaries?

2. The problem with fgs is that it comes bundled with apache/php etc. If 
I purchase a hosting account, it usually comes with a latest version of 
apache/php. Is there a guide explaining how to install mapserver with 
existing apache/php installation?

3. Does somebody know what is the disk size requirement for complete US 
street map at say 1000x zoom level? From there I can calculate other 
disk size requirements by simply adjusting for zoom level. I need this 
to find out much disk space I need.

Thanks
Ravi

Subject: Problem with PHP MapScript Wrappers for WxS Services
Message-ID: <MON.27.NOV.2006.193109.0700.FUNKBUCKETGMAIL.COM>

Hi all-
I am trying to get the MapScript Wrappers for WxS Services working
with PHP. I am running mapserver 4.10.0 on a linux server with PHP
4.3.9 (this is not built from source, it is the default redhat build,
not sure if this matters). I am tryin gto start by implementing the
examples at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wxs_mapscript
However, I can't even get the fisrt example (the get capabilites
example) to function properly. I have been able to track down when it
fails. It seems to load the mapscript libray okay and create the
request object ($request = ms_newowsrequestobj();). However, it seems
that the requst object comes back empty despite parameters being
supplied with the URL. The URL I am using, the php code, and the
output are below. Any thoughts on what might be wrong here would be
greatly appreciated. In my php script everything starting at and after
the line $request->loadparams(); is commented out, becuase it fails
when I try to use loadparams(), I am guessing because numparams in
$request is 0.
By the way at present this server is not avaialable to the public
until it gets cleared by our IT guys as being secure. However, I'd be
happy to provide more info if it might help solve problem. Hopefully
we'll be open to the public soon.

percy,

Thanks, but that does not seem to work for me. On 4.6.2, which has WMS 
server but does not list WMS client, or 4.10 which has support for both.
"wms_styles" does not seem to get picked up and added to the url but if 
I add the styles= to the CONNECTION url it fails with the 403 error, but 
if I copy and paster the url from the debug log into the browser I get 
the expected image.

I think this is another bug.

Can anyone else test this and let me know if they can reproduce it. I am 
wondering if  jpl is blocking the Mapserver client?

Here is a test mapfile:

Ben,

Is there a reason that loadparams() is commented out?  This is the call
that parses the QUERY_STRING into parameters on the request object.

Or perhaps I'm missing what you are trying to do?

Sorry for replying to my own post, but I am making some progress only to 
find additional problems.

1) it looks like the WMS UserAgent "MapServer/4.10 lubcurl..." is being 
blocked by jpl. I modified the source to maphttp.c and mangled the user 
agent string - the 403 message went away and I got an image! Well I got 
the image into the web.tmp directory.

2) then mapserver crashed trying to process the png RGBA wms image into 
map image.

3) So I tried jpeg format and it responded with:
msDrawMap(): WMS connection error. Failed to draw WMS layer named 
'global_landsat'. This most likely happened because the remote WMS 
server returned an invalid image, and XML exception or another 
unexpected result in response to the GetMap request. Also check and make 
sure that the layer's connection URL is valid.
drawJPEG(): Unable to access file. Only grayscale JPEG images are 
supported.

4) So I tried tiff format and it responded with:
msDrawMap(): WMS connection error. Failed to draw WMS layer named 
'global_landsat'. This most likely happened because the remote WMS 
server returned an invalid image, and XML exception or another 
unexpected result in response to the GetMap request. Also check and make 
sure that the layer's connection URL is valid.
drawTIFF(): Image handling error. Only colormapped and grayscale images 
are supported.

5) the issue with wms_styles looks like a code bug after reading through 
the code, if I understand it correctly. I have written a bug:
    http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1974
if anyone in interested in it.

So something is borked!

Can anyone get this mapfile to work with any wms connection on 4.10?

Steve,

The above three issues are likely due to limitations in the legacy GD
based PNG, JPEG and TIFF support in mapserver.  Is your mapserver built
without GDAL?  If so, you won't be able to use RGB PNG, JPEG or TIFF files.
I see the JPEG and TIFF functions report this reasonably well, but I don't
see any RGB vs. colormapped checking logic in the drawPNG function.

If you wish, you can file a bug on this.  I think we might well strip out
the legacy raster support for 5.0.  The old functions have some fairly
significant limitations, and no one (me included) is all that interested
in supporting them.

If you do write a bug - please feel free to assign it to me directly.

Best regards,

Frank,

Thank you for your quick response on this.

Yes, I typically like to build a stripped down version of mapserver to 
keep it small and to minimize the number of package dependencies I need. 
So it is not build with GDAL, but it sounds like I will need to do that. 
I will write you a bug on this, if for no other reason because it is 
broken and segv and it should be fixed even if fixing it means removing 
the legacy code.

BTW, As I mentioned on the Users List, I tried fetching the wms layer as 
png, jpeg and tiff images and was not able to get any of them to produce 
a mapserver image.

Subject: Mapserver+PostGIS+Charset encoding problems
Message-ID: <TUE.28.NOV.2006.094453.0100.MCOMPTESIGTE.UDG.ES>

Hi,

Sorry if this has already been dealt with before but I searched the 
archives and couldn't find an answer for this case.

I have a mapserver getting data from a PostGIS database. The database 
charset encoding is defined as LATIN1 and the text in the tables 
displays all fine and good in the pgAdmin as well as in my browser when 
I just get a list of them with php.

When I set that particular field as a LABEL in the map-file the 
resulting map shows the special characters wrong (mostly accents is what 
I have to deal with). I guess that'd be normal since I wasn't specifying 
any charset encoding yet. So I specified this attribute in my file ... 
but now the funny thing comes.

When I set my layer to use ENCODING 'LATIN1' (same as my db) the map 
just shows a different set of strange characters, but still not the 
right glyphs to show.

If I try using UTF-8 in my LABEL then it starts working some of the 
accents out but not all of them. Special chars that use the accent ? 
appear perfectly (such as ?, ?, ?, ? and ?), and so does the ? on top of 
vowels. But the ` accent does not seem to work.

I have been struggling against this problem for a few days already. Now 
I noticed that using the UTF-8 gives me back a set of characters that 
ressembles very much that of LATIN2.

An '?' (E0) in my database produces an 'r' with accent (?r).
An '?' (E8) in my database produces a 'c' with the ^ symbol on top (and 
inverted)
... ? (EC) => 'e' with ^ inverted on top
... ? (F2) => 'n' with ^ inverted on top
... ? (F9) => 'u' with a ? on top

This leaves me very puzzled since I don't think I ever used or made any 
reference to Latin2 charset. I am getting very confused about the whole 
thing ... I have a db in Latin1, I try to convert it to UTF-8 and what I 
get is Latin2 ... does this make sense to anyone? I don't know what else 
to try, I made a replica of my table in a UTF-8 db, I have tried using  
"options='-c client_encoding=LATIN1'" in my connection string ... and 
always end up getting the same thing.

By the way, using  "options='-c client_encoding=LATIN1'" in my 
connection string produces exactly the same result as specifying 
ENCODING 'UTF-8' in the LABEL of my map file, which seems also a bit weird.

Does anyone have any idea on what could I try next or where to look? I 
am running out of ideas and I'm very close to go to the database and 
strip all the accents out ...

Thanks,

Marc Compte

Folks,

In follow up on this I have come to a momentus discovery.  Not all web
application are cgi based!

Yes, it's hard to imagine, but it's true.

Not entirely surprisingly when using mod_php (and presumably all the other
non cgi environments) the cgi environment variables do not get set.  And
worse, the loadParams() which expects to be used in a cgi enviroment just
calls exit() after any failure, taking down the whole web server
instance (or at least the thread for that request) without returning anything
useful.

It seems that in non-cgi environments folks wanting to use the WxS services
will need to parse the request using mechanisms other than loadParams(), and
populate the keyword/value pairs in the OWSRequest object manually.

I have updated the WxS services howto with a note about this, and also will
keep the bug report open as a place to consider ways of passing in the url
to loadParams() for 5.0.

I am having problems with the set("encoding", "UTF-8") for foreign

Folks,

In follow up on this I have come to a momentus discovery.  Not all web
application are cgi based!

Yes, it's hard to imagine, but it's true.

Not entirely surprisingly when using mod_php (and presumably all the
other
non cgi environments) the cgi environment variables do not get set.  And
worse, the loadParams() which expects to be used in a cgi enviroment
just
calls exit() after any failure, taking down the whole web server
instance (or at least the thread for that request) without returning
anything
useful.

It seems that in non-cgi environments folks wanting to use the WxS
services
will need to parse the request using mechanisms other than loadParams(),
and
populate the keyword/value pairs in the OWSRequest object manually.

I have updated the WxS services howto with a note about this, and also
will
keep the bug report open as a place to consider ways of passing in the
url
to loadParams() for 5.0.

Graham,

I'm afraid I have no idea.  I don't know much about how character set
encoding works for mapserver, nor do I know anything about your setup.

Apologies if this is a duplicate message, the original seemed to be 
rejected by the listserv server..

We have weather observations with the wind speed values in the shapefile
in knots. Our customer wants the values displayed in km/h.

I am using a cgi/wms arrangement and have tried various combinations of
LABELITEM, EXPRESSION and TEXT to multiply the [Max_Wnd_Gus] attribute
by the conversion constant, so the following options in the map file
tried individually or collectively give the results shown:

LAYER
  LABELITEM ("Max_Wnd_Gus" * 1.85) -  gives an error,
  ...

  CLASS
    EXPRESSION ([Max_Wnd_Gus] * 1.85) - returns true, the values are
displayed,
    TEXT ('[Max_Wnd_Gus] * 1.85' km/h) - displays '<value> * 1.85' km/h

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I wanted to add one more thing to this. I spent some time today trying
to decide on how to go about working around this issue. In php the
following seems to work quite nicely:

reset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS)) {
    putenv("$key=$val");
};

After executing this block loadparams seems to function as expected.
Just another option on how to work with the wxs mapscript.

I'm sorry but what you're trying to do isn't possible with MapServer as
it sits. You
have to pre-compute the km/hr values in another column.

Hello again.

Im trying to configure a WFS Server with oraclespatial.
This is the definition of the layer:

LAYER

END  # layer

When i make a getcapabilities like:

http://192.168.53.18:81/cgi-bin/mapserver?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=Getcapabilities

it shows me

Hi all,

In http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cartosymbols I've seen some 
examples to show different possibilities of the UMN MapServer for 
cartographical symbols of the vector based mapobjects.
In my application I need historical symbols (for churchs, bishopric, 
monastery, ...) Do you know any web page or Do you know how to get more 
cartoraphical symbols of the vector based mapobjects?

TIA,
Regards.

Hi Nuria,
a couple of symbols you find in the ttfs at:
http://wald.intevation.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/fonts/?root=freezvaut

Maybe some of them are usefull for you.
You can have an overview of them if you are using a font editor like "fontforge".


Some more at: http://www.mapmedia.de/dokumente/umn_signaturen_howto/index.html
(have a look to the bottom of the dokument, there is also a donwload-link).

Subject: postgis with itemnquery
Message-ID: <WED.29.NOV.2006.061045.0700.RICHARD.GREENWOODGMAIL.COM>

My query arguments seem to be getting cast to numeric values when I
use postgis (but not when I use shape files). For example:
   qitem=(mapnum=0009)
seems to be interpreted as
  mapnum=9
I have tried escaping the value with no success. The "mapnum" column
is a character field.

So my questions:
1. Does anyone have suggestions for escaping the value, or
constructing the query differently?
2. How can I log the actual query that is constructed and passed to postgresql?
3. What .c file is used to process itemnquery for postgis?

Thanks,
Rich

Ahhh! I had tried both of those, BUT without the parenthesis. Adding
the parenthesis has me back in business. Thank you very much.

Subject: upgrading WKT error
Message-ID: <WED.29.NOV.2006.163836.0100.JXACOWI.DK>

Hello	

I have upgraded from 4.8.1 to mapserver 4.10 
and gotten the files from ms4w_1.6 
and using php 4.4.2 on a windows IIS.
this is using GDAL 1.3.2 and is installed with GEOS

the code I made works fine on 4.8.1 and can show the WKT strings Iam storing in the Database ( only problem is that GDAL is version 1.3.1 and does not support WKT strings over 512).
now in the new mapserver 4.10 I get this error

msOGRFileNextShape(): Column WKT requested for geometry, but it does not exist

I know that the WKT coln exist because it running on exact same code that I do on 4.8.1 and there it works fine.

Second error is if I try to use ms_shapeObjFromWkt()

$NewShapeFromWkt = ms_shapeObjFromWkt( $wktstreng['wkt'] );

I will get this error 
GEOSShapeFromWKT(): Error reading WKT geometry "POLYGON ((524401.01456 6256859.53403,524393.08587 6256832.01146,524379.23346 6256832.1026,524389.25823 6256860.90105))"

is it because this is build with GEOS or is it because of the changed from mapserver 4.8 to 4.10 ?

I have a dsn named 'thecounty' set up to access a Personal Geodatabase.

Which leads me to believe that things are working properly.  But, when I add
the following layer to my mapfile,

   CONNECTION "PGeo:thecounty"

     STYLE
       COLOR 255 0 0
       OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
     END
   END
END

I get no errors, but nothing is displayed on my map.  The projection of my
map is the same as the Projection in the personal geodatabase.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you,

Paul

Paul,

If things were working properly the above would include a geometry in each
feature.  If you can provide me with the file in question, I'd be interested
in looking into what is going wrong.

Still having problems with this?

One question - when you installed that Actual Access driver, are you  
just using the trial?  That only returns the first 3 records in any  
MDB, and those 3 might not be on your map region.

try this:

ogrinfo -al Pgeo:thecounty votes

That should list the attributes and coordinates data for those first  
three features. Or the whole file if you bought the driver.

I created a personal geodatabase with only 3 records in each feature class.
One has 3 counties as polygons.  The other is a point layer with only three
points. Maybe I messed up when I created the geodatabase.

I am using the trial.  I was hoping to make sure it works before spending
the money.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Sudden death of mapserver appliation

Hi,

I recently developed and deployed my first mapserver application. After finally sorting out the installation process, it went well and seemed stable.

However, yesterday the map generation was failing with the following error:

Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib/php4/php_mapscript.so' - /usr/lib/php4/php_mapscript.so:
undefined symbol: php_sprintf 
Fatal error:  Call to undefined function:  ms_newmapobj()

Searching for the above comes up with not much (see for example http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.mapserver.user/18015 - libraries look normal, and nothing has been changed there)

The only recent things changed on this server:

 - the admin making apache config changes. He says that he has removed them and the server is as before
- I installed some python libraries. Could this have messed up the libraries linked by mapserver?

Could anybody give me any pointers as to the sorts of things that might cause this?

Thanks,
Benjamin

Jeppe,

This error message comes from the OGR ODBC driver when it
asks the lower level CPL ODBC code for the column name "WKT"
and it is not found.  This likely means that for some reason
the newer ODBC code in gdal/port is not recognising this as a
valid or understandable column for some reason.

Could you download FWTools and try it to see what an ogrinfo report
for the layer shows?

When built with geos and ogr, mapserver will use the geos wkt translation
in preference to the ogr wkt translation.  But I'm not sure why this isn't
working.  The WKT geometry looks valid to me.

Looks like Frank already replied and can look into it.

Frank, this is the result of my bug report about the PGEO driver:

http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1367

For the PGEO driver in the GDAL Paul has, I simply commented out the  
MDB Tools loading parts so that he can use a different Access ODBC  
driver as configured in his odbc.ini.  Also, as I've been doing with  
all my GDAL builds, it uses iODBC instead of UnixODBC.  Just so you  
know.

I tried the Actual Access/iODBC combination a while back (Jan I  
think) and it seemed to work.  I don't remember how much I tested it,  
so I don't know if I got geometry data returned.

hi. 

not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this question but i'm wondering if others are using DM solutions as their street-level map provider. if so, can anyone tell me what their scale break values (MIN, MED, MAX) correspond to, i.e. meters per pixel or...?

knowing this will help me calibrate my application's scale bar to their scale breaks. 

thanks. -- matt.

William,

It seems I missed the part in this discussion where it is ocurring on
MacOS X!  Well, the file works fine for me on windows, so the issue might
be something with the odbc setup.

 Spatial Extensions for SQL Server 2005}
Message-ID: <WED.29.NOV.2006.151852.0200.EPK.LISTSGMAIL.COM>

Piero,

In fact we already can say that MapServer already supports MS-SQL 2005
with this spatial extension using OGR ODBC driver.

Here's what I did using this with MapServer:

1. install MS SQL 2005 Express ( good! it's freeware, but it's not
like the old MSDE. In this case, it supports many user connections but
your database file can't be greater than 4Gb. But you can split your
database in several 4Gb files)

2. create an empty database and deploy the spatial extension from
Codeplex ( http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=MsSqlSpatial
)

3. create a polygon table using traditional CREATE TABLE and then
using "ST.AddGeometryColumn" to create a "the_geom" field inside this
table

4. fill the table data. How? Just grab a .sql file generated with
"shp2pgsql -w" ( that tool from PostGIS) and make some little changes(
e.g.: PostGIS says "GeomFromText" , but MS-SQLSpatial says
"ST.GeomFromText" )

5. now, create a DSN ODBC connection using the "SQL Native Client"
provider for SQL2005

6. create, in a MapServer mapfile, a polygon layer pointing to a OGR
Virtual file containing:
<OGRVRTDataSource>

    <OGRVRTLayer name="mysql2005layer">
		<SrcDataSource>ODBC:myuser/mypasswd at MyODBCSQL05DSN</SrcDataSource>
		<SrcLayer>MyPolygonTable</SrcLayer>
		<GeometryField encoding="WKB" field="the_geom"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>

</OGRVRTDataSource>

7. and, bingo! got a polygon layer rendered with MapServer without problems.

So the consensus is that the odbc driver is the problem.

Sorry for the post in the wrong place, I thought I was doing something wrong

Message-ID: <WED.29.NOV.2006.094709.0800.GDAVISREFRACTIONS.NET>

I'm drawing a set of lines for a layer using geometries from a postgis 
database.  However I want to label the lines with a constant value that 
isn't a column in the database.  This is my DATA query:

DATA "geom FROM (SELECT asset.id as assetid, geom from 
asset_position_lines LEFT JOIN asset ON asset_position_lines.assetid = 
asset.id WHERE asset.id = 606 AND ( cube(cube(cube(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM 
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2006-09-27T00:00:00-07:00'), EXTRACT(EPOCH 
FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2006-09-28T23:59:00-07:00')), 
xmin(!BOX!), xmax(!BOX!)), ymin(!BOX!), ymax(!BOX!)) @ cubespacetime OR 
cube(cube(cube(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 
'2006-09-27T00:00:00-07:00'), EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME 
ZONE '2006-09-28T23:59:00-07:00')), xmin(!BOX!), xmax(!BOX!)), 
ymin(!BOX!), ymax(!BOX!)) && cubespacetime ) ) AS new_table USING UNIQUE 
assetId USING SRID=4326"

Ignore all the CUBE stuff in the WHERE clause, the important part is the 
SELECT columns.  I've tried adding a new column using SQL (which works 
when I run the query directly in postgis) like this:

DATA "geom FROM (SELECT asset.id as assetid, 'test, test' as name, geom 
from asset_position_lines LEFT JOIN asset ON 
asset_position_lines.assetid = asset.id WHERE asset.id = 606 AND ( 
cube(cube(cube(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 
'2006-09-27T00:00:00-07:00'), EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME 
ZONE '2006-09-28T23:59:00-07:00')), xmin(!BOX!), xmax(!BOX!)), 
ymin(!BOX!), ymax(!BOX!)) @ cubespacetime OR 
cube(cube(cube(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 
'2006-09-27T00:00:00-07:00'), EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME 
ZONE '2006-09-28T23:59:00-07:00')), xmin(!BOX!), xmax(!BOX!)), 
ymin(!BOX!), ymax(!BOX!)) && cubespacetime ) ) AS new_table USING UNIQUE 
assetId USING SRID=4326"

'test, test' is a name I'm using for testing, which I want applied as a 
label to the lines.  I apply a LABELITEM of "name" in the mapfile.  This 
makes mapserver return a premature end of script error.  However, if I 
put that constant string inside some SQL function like UPPER() it works 
fine:

DATA "geom FROM (SELECT asset.id as assetid, UPPER('test, test') as 
name, geom from asset_position_lines LEFT JOIN asset ON 
asset_position_lines.assetid = asset.id WHERE asset.id = 606 AND ( 
cube(cube(cube(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 
'2006-09-27T00:00:00-07:00'), EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME 
ZONE '2006-09-28T23:59:00-07:00')), xmin(!BOX!), xmax(!BOX!)), 
ymin(!BOX!), ymax(!BOX!)) @ cubespacetime OR 
cube(cube(cube(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 
'2006-09-27T00:00:00-07:00'), EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIMESTAMP WITH TIME 
ZONE '2006-09-28T23:59:00-07:00')), xmin(!BOX!), xmax(!BOX!)), 
ymin(!BOX!), ymax(!BOX!)) && cubespacetime ) ) AS new_table USING UNIQUE 
assetId USING SRID=4326"

How come I have to use a function for this to work?  Is there another 
way I could do this without using a function here?  Btw, I'm using 
mapserver 4.10.0, thanks.

Hi,

I have a problem with a layer in my mapfile. I want the mapserver to draw a
symbol depending on the value in the database.

the table looks like this:
the_center(geometry), fahrten(varchar(6))

the layer in the mapfile looks like this(in the simple form):
LAYER
    NAME "Fahrten"
    TYPE POINT
    MAXSCALE 20000000
    MINSCALE 1
    TOLERANCE 5
    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS

    CONNECTION "user=postgres password=admin dbname=geodaten host=localhost
port=5432"
    DATA "the_center from post_code_areas"
    
    CLASS
      STYLE
  	SYMBOL "circle"
	SIZE 10
	COLOR 0 0 255
      END
    END


    METADATA
      "WMS_TITLE" "Fahrten"

  END


The other layer in the mapfile is drawn correct

Message-ID: <WED.29.NOV.2006.170849.0500.MATT.GANZGMAIL.COM>

hi. 

this is a rephrase of a question i posted earlier today. sorry, bit of a newbie here. 

i have a scale bar in my application where each scale level is defined in meters per pixel. i'd like to control what layers show up at each scale level and therefore i need to calibrate my scalebar units with those of the mapfile. 

so my question is what units do the minscale/maxscale values in the mapfile represent? 

thanks for any helpful tips.

Matt: They are unitless values and they represent the denominator
portion of a representative fraction. So:

  MAXSCALE 24000

refers to a scale 1:24,000 and so on. It's a tad backwards (e.g. 100000
> 24000, but 1/100,000 < 1/24,000) as I'm reminded every once and a
while, but you get used to it quickly.

Matt -

I will add to Steve's accurate information that the resulting scale
ratio is the scale ratio that would be produced if the output raster
image were printed or displayed at 72 dots per inch (DPI).  The
RESOLUTION statement in the map file can be used to change this number
from 72 to another value, but that only provides computational
convenience.

If you have a MAXSCALE 24000 statement, that means that at 72 DPI one
inch on the map equals 24,000 inches on the ground.  Since that's 24,000
inches over 72 dots (pixels), that's a resolution of 24,000/72 = 333.333
inches per pixel.  At 39.37 inches per meter, that is the same as 8.467
meters per pixel.

Using the default 72 DPI resolution, a MAXSCALE of 2834.64 equals
exactly one meter per pixel.

Hi Jessica,

Given the syntax, I suspect your statement might need to be:

document.forms['mapserv'].submit();

But this appears to happen in your mapfile... Which is weird, because
your browser isn't supposed to be loading your mapfile, but your
template. Can you please check whether you are loading a .html template?
And what is your piece of code trying to do? Maybe send a larger piece
of code.

Regards,

Jacob

Hi there,

 

Take a look at this :

 



 

See the straight line at the pole ?

Is this a known issue with Orthographic projection?

 

Here are the projection?s parameters:

 

+proj=ortho +ellps=WGS84 +lat_0=30.000 +lon_0=-45.0000 +x_0=0.00 +y_0=0.00

Message-ID: <THU.30.NOV.2006.100815.0100.KARIN_KAMPITSCHGMX.AT>

Dear List,

I want to display my mapfile "wkwms.map" in the internet explorer, but unfortunately there exists some problems.
I use Apache Version 2.2.3 , MapServer 4.10.0 and PHP 5.2.0.

The Code PHP/Mapscript of "wanderkarte.php" looks like this.

<?php

dl ("php_mapscript.dll");

$map_path="/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/maps/";
$map_file = "wkwms.map";
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path.$map_file);        

$map->selectOutputFormat("png");
$image=$map->draw();
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage();

?>

<HTML>
 <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Example 1: Displaying a map</TITLE>
 </HEAD>
  <BODY>
    <IMG SRC=<?php echo $image_url; ?> >
  </BODY>
</HTML>



When i want to call the url: http://localhost/maps/wanderkarte.php, the following error message appears.

selectOutputFormat("png"); $image=$map->draw(); $image_url=$image->saveWebImage(); ?>  > 


In the the error.log of Apache: the following message appears:
"The given path misformatted or contained invalid characters: Cannot map GET /maps/<?php HTTP/1.1 to file, referer: http://localhost/maps/wanderkarte.php"

The web section in the mapfile "wkwms.map" looks like this:
TEMPLATE "index_wms.html"
IMAGEPATH "C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"
IMAGEURL "C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"

The Alias Section in the httpd.conf file looks like this:

Alias /ms_tmp/ /ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/

<Directory "/ms4w/tmp/">
    AllowOverride None
    Options All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>


I really do not know, what path could be missing or is incorrect! I also tried to put other Alias, but this also did not work.

First I did not had "$map->selectOutputFormat("png");" in the php-file.
The error message before adding the selectOutputFormat was:
$image=$map->draw(); $image_url=$image->saveWebImage(); ?>  > 

Has anybody an idea? This would be very nice!

karin

St?phane,

This is a known issue.  The current logic to handle polygons and lines
that go over the horizon is described in:

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-5/

This basically tracks where the features goes over the horizon and
where it comes back, and draws a straight line between them.  I have had
the intention to implement a means to track along the horizon but it is
a bit involved.

In the meantime this is a known problem - not just with orthographic, but
with any projection with an effective horizon - a boundary past which the
projection fails.

Best regards,

I think the IMAGEURL "C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/" in your mapfile is incorrect. It should probably read: IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/". This is the URL that you would use to find the image, not the file location.

Message-ID: <THU.30.NOV.2006.125832.0300.ERNESVEGAGMAIL.COM>

Hi, I have a little problem with SVG and I'm not sure how to solve it.
I have a map,
where if I set IMAGETYPE as PNG it renders a correct image if I
execute shp2img to debug it.

When I set IMAGETYPE to SVG and run shp2img again, it fails, giving me
this message on the map log file:

"
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Unable to initialize image. <br>
msPrepareImage(): GD library error. Unable to initialize image. <br>
msImageCreateSVG(): Unable to access file. Failed to open temporary
svg file. <br>"

Any ideas ???

Mapserver is built with the follwin options:

MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Hope you can help on this,

Ernesto

Asunto: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] PhpMapScript reference map


Dear Friends 
I have created map by following codes in Php.
I have also created reference map for my study.
But the outline box doesn't appear on the reference map.
What is the wrong with my code.
I have using gmap demo gmap.php.inc and gmap.php for develop my study.
the reference map on the map file as follows

 REFERENCE
    IMAGE ../mapdata/zone.png # The reference image
    SIZE 200 150 # The size of the reference image in pixels
#    EXTENT 201621.496941 -294488.285333 1425518.020722 498254.511514 #
The
extent of the reference image in map units
    EXTENT 26 35 45 43

    STATUS ON
    MINBOXSIZE 10 # How small can the reference box be before it gets drawn

Subject: I need the ability to be able to display ECW and JPEG2000
 format files within MapServer via a Community Mapbuilder client
 which sends WMS requests for the images to MapServer
In-Reply-To: <4566168A.7050303@pobox.com>
Message-ID: <THU.30.NOV.2006.133439.0500.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi Frank,

I now able to display ECW type files via mapserver within a community
mapbuilder web browser client.  I had question on part of the sample map
file that you sent:
OUTPUTFORMAT
 NAME jpeg2000
 DRIVER "GDAL/JP2ECW"
 MIMETYPE "image/jpeg2000"
 FORMATOPTION "TARGET=95"
 IMAGEMODE RGB
END

What does TARGET=95 mean?

I am having good success (as far as image quality and small size downloaded
to the browser) with displaying my image data as jpeg within community
mapbuilder as an example
      <FormatList>
        <Format current="1">image/jpeg</Format>
      </FormatList>
But when I try displaying it as a png as an example.  I get poor quality as
far as the color.
      <FormatList>
        <Format current="1">image/png</Format>
      </FormatList>
The reason why I would like to sometimes be able to display as png is that
when displaying as jpeg I always have to display as the bottom layer because
if it is above any other layer then it completely covers any layer above it
even if the jpeg has no data(meaning white space).
Is there any parameters that can be changed within OUTPUTFORMAT that will
allow a better color quality png image to be displayed within the web
browser?

What application do you use to create your .ECW files?

Thanks,

John J. Mitchell

John,

This means that I am requesting 95% reduction in image size during
compression - ie. 20:1 compression.

You like want PNG24 format.  The plain PNG format results in a reduction
to 8bit which causes a lot of damage to the image.  The predefined 24bit
PNG output format is called "PNG24", and has a mimetype of
"image/png; mode=24bit"

> What application do you use to create your .ECW files?

The original ecw file I was serving from was one I downloaded from
geotorrent.org.  But I do sometimes use gdal_translate to produce
ecw files.

Frank,

The ECW is already in a compressed format, so this means that the image is
compressed another 95%?  This additional compression is for performance
purposes?; does it affect the image quality?

Thanks,

John

John,

The imagery is decompressed within mapserver for rendering purposes, and
then (if output is to ecw) re-compressed.  So the 95% is relative to
uncompressed form, not cumulative.   Even if the original image was
at 95% compression the process of decompressing and recompressing can result
in additional image damage.

Frank,

So if I have the ECW image compressed at a 2:1 ratio mapserver will process
it faster than if I have the ECW image at 20:1 because mapserver has to
decompress the image first.  Also the resulting image should be better since
I have not compressed it as much.

If I choose to have FORMATOPTION "TARGET=0" which means no compression then
my image quality will be better, but it will be slower to download since it
is not compressed?

John

Subject: Feature-level transparency...in 5.0?
In-Reply-To: <456FB1CF.7030606@alumni.uwaterloo.ca>
Message-ID: <THU.30.NOV.2006.233918.0500.MGLEAHYGOLDEN.NET>

Hello list,

As far as I can tell, transparency in MapServer is currently only
available at the layer level.  I'm working on some data that would
benefit from being able to view overlapping features (within a single
and/or multiple layers) using transparency to reveal density of coverage
of certain features (i.e., the more shapes that overlap a given area,
the darker the colour).  This works great in some tools (e.g., QGis),
but it doesn't work so well in mapserver, as overlapping shapes within a
single layer end up looking like a single polygon.  It seems that at the
moment the only workaround would be to have a separate for each
individual shape...or use varying hatched styles to fill the polygons.

I saw on this page
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/release_plans/mapserver_5_0)
that class or style-level transparency is proposed for 5.0.  Out of
interest, will this be equivalent to feature-level, or would I have to
add individual classes for every feature in a given layer?  I suspect
the latter, but I'm curious to know if feature-level transparency is on
the radar for future development.

Thanks for any info...

Mike

Subject: projection confusion...
Message-ID: <THU.30.NOV.2006.235008.0500.MDIETERICHGMAIL.COM>

Evening everyone,

I'm hoping some of you can help dig me out of my utter confusion ;) 
I've been humming along, working with mapserver for a while and never 
really giving projections much thought.  Then came tiling...  It 
requires a constant mapping between pixel values and the geographic 
space.  Enter confusion...

I'm working with tiger data, national atlas data, and some home grown 
data (based off the tiger data, so it will have the same projection as 
the tiger data).  So far, all I've managed to do is draw blank maps, so 
I know I either have projection mis-matches or extents which are foobar.

The first issue I have is, how do you determine what projection the data 
is already in?  I've seen about three different answers to the question 
re: national atlas data; none of them seem to make any difference for 
me.  I've tried playing with ogrinfo to query the underlying shapefiles 
and haven't found anything remotely helpful.

I decided to follow the all mighty google and have my output projection 
be in a mercator projection, so I have this in my mapfile:

   PROJECTION
     "proj=merc"
     "lat_ts=0.0"
     "lon_0=-90.0"
     "x_0=0.0"
     "y_0=0.0"
     "ellps=GRS80"
     "no_defs"
   END

which I think is correct.  Now I figure I just need to get my various 
data layers defined with an appropriate projection and life might get 
better.

As for my second issue, how do I convert from decimal/degree extents to 
meters?  I tried running something like this:

proj +proj=merc +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=-90.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0.0 +ellps=GRS80 
+no_defs

and then entering in my lat/long values.  It returned some really nice, 
big, numbers, but I haven't a clue whether they were right.  Again, 
blank map.

I clearly have a lot to learn about map projections, but I've spent 
many, many, many hours searching around the net trying to answer these 
questions and it's only led to more frustration.  Can anyone out there 
offer up some help?

Thanks!

Mark

Hi John,
 
ECW images are always compressed.  The first step what Mapserver does in your process is to decompress the original ECW image to some kind of uncompressed pixel map.  I haven't measured the times but I do not believe there would be any dramatic difference in how long it takes to perform the decompression if the original images are compressed to ratios 1:20 or 1:5.  So I do not believe you could improve the speed very much by adjusting the ECW compression ratio of the originals.
Most probably you could get some more speed by having the originals as uncompressed TIFF files because then MapServer could skip the ECW decompression step.  But I would like to encourage you to make a test by converting some of your ECW images to TIFF format and then compare the total time your whole process is taking with either TIFF or ECW files.
 
You can make TIFF images which are quite well optimised for Mapserver by the following procedure. First create tiled TIFFs from your ECW files with gdal_translate by using a command:
gdal_translate -of GTiff -co "TILED=YES" input.ecw output.tif 
and then create internal overviews to your new TIFFs with gdaladdo:
gdaladdo -r average output.tif 2 4 8 16
 
Then you ready to make some timing and gather information to help you in making decisions whether or not to have the originals compressed and if to compress the output or send it as uncompressed GeoTIFF instead.  I suppose you know your clients and the bandwidth they have because that matters, too.

Frank,

So if I have the ECW image compressed at a 2:1 ratio mapserver will process it faster than if I have the ECW image at 20:1 because mapserver has to decompress the image first.  Also the resulting image should be better since I have not compressed it as much. 

If I choose to have FORMATOPTION "TARGET=0" which means no compression then my image quality will be better, but it will be slower to download since it is not compressed?

	John,
	
	The imagery is decompressed within mapserver for rendering purposes, and
	then (if output is to ecw) re-compressed.  So the 95% is relative to
	uncompressed form, not cumulative.   Even if the original image was 
	at 95% compression the process of decompressing and recompressing can result
	in additional image damage.
