Subject: Drawing on Mapserver
Message-ID: <MON.1.JAN.2007.131908.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

There two ways to draw circles:

  - use a circle layer

  - or use a circle symbol

The latter is probably more interesting for you when you combine it with
SIZEUNITS. With that you can do stuff like:

SYMBOL
  NAME 'a circle'
  TYPE ELLIPSE
  POINTS 1 1 END
  FILLED TRUE
END

LAYER
  NAME 'some circle'
  TYPE POINT
  ...
  SIZEUNITS KILOMETERS
  CLASS
    STYLE
      SYMBOL 'a circle'
      SIZE 10
      COLOR 255 0 0
    END
  END
END

This snippet will draw circles 10km in diameter at each data point. Hope
this helps.

Hi

I am trying to draw a circle around a given point at  given radius in a 
map server generated image.

Due to the platform I am using its impossible to use mapscript , php or 
javascript.

Is it possible to do something like this by using the symbolset file ?

Is it possible to do something sly with polygon file ?

David.

One other comment. Note that in some cases data and styling are bound
together so there is a real advantage to keeping them side-bt-side. For 
example, a user might apply an angle stored as an attribute (e.g. wind 
direction), or a color. Totally disjoint definitions make that difficult
to support.

In the end you need lots of flexibility to keep everyone happy. The
INCLUDE 
should help (note that you can nest INCLUDEs up to 5 deep). In addition,
there 
has  been some  discussion on supporting external SLD definitions as
well for 5.0.

I've been exploring MapServer for only a week or so, so maybe I'm
missing
something, but I have a problem with the LAYER philosophy that combines
the
data definition with the rendering style. I think these definitions
should
be physically separate, or at least there should be a way to redefine a
layer's graphic representation after the data have been associated with
a
named layer.

For example, I have a collection of styles that I prefer to use for
entities like roads, lakes and rivers, municipal boundaries, landmarks
and
so on. I actually have multiple sets that depend on the map scale and/or
the client or map purpose. 

But the data often come from different sources, or at least they require
different selections if you're drawing from a national data set for a
local area. To make the data-map interface consistent I also ensure that
the names, types and ranges of certain attributes are standardized (e.g.
I
have a field named 'class' for roads that contains standard values for
the
type of graphic representation I'll want for that road line, and for
street
name annotation, I use 'name' and 'route' and 'shield' for labeling
highways with route numbers above shield symbols). Using this convention
I
could simply cut and paste or INCLUDE the parts of a map file that apply
CLASS and STYLE parameters to my roads layer.

The problem I have with MapServer's LAYER definition in the map file is
that
I have to define the DATA selection parameters with the CLASS and STYLE
parameters. It seems to me that it would be more flexible to create
layers
by assigning the layer name to a data selection (and perhaps provide a
default graphic style) but then later in the map file apply a graphic
style
to the features for that layer. If that were possible I could build a
standard set of named base map layers and then simply apply a "style
file" through an INCLUDE statement that would set the symbology for each
standard layer. 

One of the "products" that I provide to clients is a map series for fire
departments in support of emergency planning, and it's important that
the
cartographic representation of map features be consistent and easily
recognizable. I can certainly do this with MapServer as it is now, but
I'll
either have to do a lot more (error prone) cutting and pasting or build
a
script to automatically generate map files for different map areas.

IMHO, the guiding philosophy should be that map content (points, lines,
polygons and annotation) be as separated from the styling as possible,
but
it seems that MapServer binds these elements together at the LAYER
level. I
think this belongs at the MAP level or at least there should be an
option
to do so at that level. The idea is similar to the philosophy that
applies
to html documents and css.

But like I said above, I'm pretty new to MapServer and maybe there's a
solution or convention I just haven't discovered yet. So what do people
do
when they want to produce consistent-looking maps over several MapServer
projects?

Happy New Year!

Subject: limit the area displayed on the map
Message-ID: <TUE.2.JAN.2007.093039.0000.PARROTT.SARAHGOOGLEMAIL.COM>

Hi,

 Is there a way (for example adding a parameter to the querystrinng) to
limit the area of the map that is displayed, and therefore display that part
at a larger scale? I have tried changing the extent but that doesn't seem to
work.

I want to be able to display the full extent of the map and then allow the
user to click and zoom in on it. I have got this partially working by
inserting my map file into the itasca demo. However, this seems to involve
the querystring putting the map into 'Browse' mode. I need the map to be in
'nquery' mode because I generate an imagemap using a TEMPLATE within the
LAYER specification of my map. When the map is in browse mode it uses the
TEMPLATE specified in the MAP clause, and seems to ignore my image map.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Sarah

works perfectly.

I am totally out of ideas as to why I cannot get it to show up on my own

I think I'd go with outdated. I believe Assefa has migrated the 
functionality that used to be provided by the php_proj module into 
php_mapscript, but we'd need him to confirm that I'm not mistaken.

Hi!

It seems that I have another kind of problem also. I have a shp-file
that doesn't get drawed.
This is how it is in map-file:
LAYER
        NAME "name"
        TYPE POLYGON
	STATUS ON
        DATA "/path/to/shp"
		CLASS
			NAME "name"	
			# TEMPLATE				
			COLOR 215 232 195
			#OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
		END
END

I can open the shp in quantum gis perfectly but mapserver doesn't draw it.

Is the native coordinate system the same as your map's? Yo umay need to add
a PROJECTION object to your layer. You can use ogrinfo to verify that the
coordinate system is as you expect.

Message-ID: <WED.3.JAN.2007.150813.0100.HAVARD.TVEITEUMB.NO>

I am experiencing problems with a WMS connections where
layer names contain dots/periods (".").
Whenever a layer name with a "." appears in the "LAYERS"
parameter of the WMS connection string, mapserver has
trouble parsing the connection string.

 From the Mapserver log (connect string is: "http://wms.server.org/wms_test?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&TEST.TEST&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png"):
msOWSParseVersionString(): WMS server error. Invalid version (1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&TEST.TEST&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png). OWS version must be in the format 'x.y' or 'x.y.z' <br>

If I remove the "." no parsing errors occur.

Are periods/dots (".") allowed in WMS Layer Name?
If so, is this a bug?

Just looking at the error message it's not obvious what is really

Also, which version of MapServer are you using?

Subject: changing colors in tiles without re-rendering?
Message-ID: <WED.3.JAN.2007.102105.0800.RAVIKAPOOR101GMAIL.COM>

I have a strange question. I am using block group shape files to render 
map of US at all zoom levels. This is very processor intensive job. I 
want to avoid rendering tiles every time I change data as it takes me 
days to do so.

Is it possible that somehow I draw the block group shapes and then use 
some image manipulation software to change color of each block group. 
Essentially the point is to try to avoid processing shape files every 
time and instead move the job to a image manipulation software which I 
believe will result in significant time reduction.

I seriously doubt anything like this can be done but I decided to ask 
anyways.

Daniel,

  You are right. php_proj is outdated and all projections can be done 
using mapscript.

Subject: Use of CDATA in context documents
Message-ID: <WED.3.JAN.2007.142633.0500.DEBBIE.PAGUREKEC.GC.CA>

My project requires some special characters, such as subscripts, to be
used in abstracts and titles. We tried to embed CDATA into our context
documents e.g.
<![CDATA[<sub>2.5</sub>]]>
But our Chameleon application croaked. We understand that this is likely
due to the fact that MapServer itself doesn't parse the CDATA part
properly.

We are using MS v4.6.1, Chameleon version 2.2, and PHP 4.3.11 which I
know are really out of date now. Can anyone tell me if using CDATA in
context docs is supported in more recent versions of MapServer? If it
isn't, are their any plans to incorporate this?

Thanks for the info.
Debbie

Hi Debbie,

probably a question for Frank since it uses his XML parsing code :-)

Does it work if you use something like:

&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;

?

I have a strange question. I am using block group shape files to render

map of US at all zoom levels. This is very processor intensive job. I 
want to avoid rendering tiles every time I change data as it takes me 
days to do so.

Is it possible that somehow I draw the block group shapes and then use

some image manipulation software to change color of each block group. 
Essentially the point is to try to avoid processing shape files every 
time and instead move the job to a image manipulation software which I

believe will result in significant time reduction.

I seriously doubt anything like this can be done but I decided to ask 
anyways.

Hello List,
since a couple of time I try to get MapServer 4.10.0 to get to run
--with-postgis on Debian 3.1 Sarge.

PostgreSQL (8.2) and PostGIS (1.1.6) is successfully configured, compiled and
installed.
I configure MapServer without any problems with:

./configure --with-proj --with-ogr --with-gdal
--with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-wmsclient
--with-wmsserver --with-wfsclient --with-wfs --with-tiff --with-jpeg
--with-php=/usr/local/php --with-freetype --with-png

...then I compile it without any errors, but when I try to check the version
with "./mapserv -v" I always get:

"./mapserv: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.5: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory"

Has anybody got a clue what I can do to solve the problem?
Thank you very much......

You need to add the shared object path to your ld.so.conf file and run
ldconfig.  Try adding: /usr/local/pgsql/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf file and
running /sbin/ldconfig as root.

Thanks for the reply Steve. The problem is little more complicated than 
just identifying an appropriate image editor.

After the tiles are made, imagemagic has no way to co-relate a block 
group with tile name. Also if two adjacent block groups are of same 
color, imagemagic would not know how to change one of them.

The solution, if at all possible, has to be something like this:
1. Render the shape files into image files for each block group. The 
area outside block group should be transparent in such images.
2. A program that when supplied with block group number and color finds 
appropriate image and colors it accordingly.
3. A program that takes all the images and generates square image tiles.

Only in this case I can avoid parsing/reading the shapefile over and 
over again. I wonder if anybody has done anything remotely similar to 
this or if anybody can think of a better way to do this.

Ravi

Great, thank you very much!!
The MapServer is running fine now, but what I don`t understand:

I made an "updatedb" on my system and tried to find the data with
"locate libpg.so.5", but it`s not found even it is definetily there.
Hmmmmm......anyway, the MapServer is running now.

  OGR is also a needed library (for geometry conversions). Is it 
possible for you to test it with OGR enabled (USE_OGR flag) ? If that is

Not as the code sits. That's not a parameter that is currently processed
for runtime variables. You can switch entire templates with
map_web_template (in combination with templatepattern). It's a
relatively easy hack to change mapserv.c to do this, a bit harder in
upcoming releases that provide a mechanism to validate runtime
substitutions, but still doable.

that case, you'll need to compile Mapserver yourself against the right
Oracle client, or get someone to do that for you.

Best regards,
Bart

Hi,

Maybe this is not the reason for your trouble, but shouldn't it in any case be
&LAYERS=TEST.TEST? Now LAYERS seem to be missing from your URL

http://wms.server.org/wms_test?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&TEST.TEST&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood you right, but perhaps you are searching for something like what BBOX is doing if added to query string?

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] limit the area displayed on the map
 
Hi,

 Is there a way (for example adding a parameter to the querystrinng) to
limit the area of the map that is displayed, and therefore display that part
at a larger scale? I have tried changing the extent but that doesn't seem to
work.

I want to be able to display the full extent of the map and then allow the
user to click and zoom in on it. I have got this partially working by
inserting my map file into the itasca demo. However, this seems to involve
the querystring putting the map into 'Browse' mode. I need the map to be in
'nquery' mode because I generate an imagemap using a TEMPLATE within the
LAYER specification of my map. When the map is in browse mode it uses the
TEMPLATE specified in the MAP clause, and seems to ignore my image map.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Sarah

While editing the connection string for my email, I must have
removed too much.  Sorry!  The problem persists though.
The "LAYERS=" was there originally:

CONNECTION "http://wms.server.org/wms_test?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=TEST.TEST&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png"

Produces the following in the mapserver log file (slightly edited...):
Thu Jan  4 15:46:17 2007,23090,127.0.0.1,test-wms,0,261498.765626 6621607.187500 262014.390626 6622122.812500,261756.578126 6621865.000000,test ,msBuildWMSLayerURL(): WMS connection error. MapServer supports only WMS 1.0.0 to 1.1.1 (please verify the VERSION parameter in the connection string). <br>
msOWSParseVersionString(): WMS server error. Invalid version (1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=TEST.TEST&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png). OWS version must be in the format 'x.y' or 'x.y.z' <br>


while
CONNECTION "wms.server.org/wms_test?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=TEST_TEST&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png"

Gives me an inimage exception ("LAYER with ID TEST_TEST does not exist")
from the WMS server, as expected.


To reproduce the error one should only need to create a map file
with a WMS layer and a connection string that includes a layer name
with a "." in it.

FYI I have been able to reproduce this with the current development 
version and have filed a bug:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1996

Note that you are using the "old" way of specifying WMS CONNECTIONS. You 
will not get this error if you use the "new" way which uses metadata 
entries to specify all connection settings, e.g.

   LAYER
     NAME "test-test"
     MAXSCALE 5000
     MINSCALE 500
     METADATA
       "wms_name"              "TEST.TEST"
       "wms_server_version"    "1.1.1"
       "wms_format"            "image/png"

       "wms_onlineresource"    "http://wms.server.org/wms_test?"

       "wms_title" "Test"

Debbie,

GDAL/OGR's 1.4.0 version includes CDATA support in the minixml parser.  Are
you in a position to upgrade?

Otherwise Bart's scheme to avoid CDATA would likely be best.

Good news!

Assefa: perhaps a check is in order in the code to see if OGR is on
(this should probably be a check in the build process too, or instead)?

Hi Dave

I am not sure about that. You can try and see. If it does not work, as
an alternative, look at "Changing map file parameters via a form or a
URL" at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/referencemanual-all-pages.
(You must set a value for TEMPLATEPATTERN in the mapfile,see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/referencemanual-all-pages)

Best regards.

Thanks for letting me know. This provides me with more info to convince
the powers-that-be that we need to upgrade. Unfortuately, I'm quite sure
that Bart's solution won't work in our situation. The output will
actually show all the tags, instead of processing them.

Subject: PHP MapScript getWMSFeatureInfoURL()
Message-ID: <THU.4.JAN.2007.194457.0100.ARMIN.BURGERGMX.NET>

Hi all,

I have defined a WMS based layer in the map file:

CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
CONNECTION "http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=owstest.map&"


When trying to use the PHP MapScript (MapServer 4.10) function 
'getWMSFeatureInfoURL()' for querying this layer, I get the error

msBuildWMSLayerURL(): WMS Connection String must contain the 
QUERY_LAYERS parameter to support GetFeatureInfo requests (with name in 
uppercase).

The function is only working correctly if I already put the 
"QUERY_LAYERS=layer1,layer2" to the CONNECTION string of the WMS layer 
definition in the map file. This is possible but looks a bit strange to 
me. Is that an intended behaviour or a bug?

Best regards

Armin

This is legacy from the early days when the WMS connection type was 
fairly dumb and you needed to provide all the parameters in the 
CONNECTION string yourself. The new method is slightly smarter and 
allows you to set all the connection parameters (layer name, styles, 
etc.) via wms_* metadata entries and in this context this error messages 
doesn't make sense.

I had a quick look at the code and unfortunately the fix is not as 
simple as removing the error message. I'd suggest you file a bug about 
this and we should try to address it before 5.0. In the meantime you'll 
have to include QUERY_LAYERS in your URL.

Daniel

hi, all,

i'm trying to understand how expressions work here.
i have one layer with IDH_2000 class wich has lots of numerical values.
i try using ("[IDH_2000]" <= /0.4/) and it returns the error:

msQueryByAttributes(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s)
found.
msEvalExpression: Expression parser error. Failed to parse expression
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. syntax error

i think i'm using the wrong syntax, but i've read
 http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/msexpressions
and couldn't get it.

if i do the same but using =~ works :P
so, any clues?

thanks!

Hello,

 

At this time I'm running Mapserver on my own computer at home. However I
want to install Mapserver on my website. This website is running on an
external Internet Server (Windows Hosting). Is it possible to install
Mapserver on an external Internet Server an how do I do that?

 

Thanks,

David,

I don't believe this is currently supported for the OGR ODBC driver.
The Personal Geodatabase driver also goes through ODBC and doesn't
require a DSN, but it does not appear that the ODBC driver will allow
the application/user to pass through the required parameter instead of a
DSN.

Hi: Does anyone know of a good applet or utility to allow clients to draw polygons on a map and feed them to PostGIS?  

The issue I am trying to deal with: I have a lot of points and I need to let a client draw a polygon around a subset of those points and tag them with their name or a code or something.   I think the easiest way is to pass the polygon to PostGIS...but if there are other ways that I haven't thought of...

Thanks,

Hello List,
I have 2 WMS-Layer in my application.
I would like that the WMS, that is presented on top, is transparent, so that I
can see the layer that lies at the bottom.

Is this possible?
As far as I know in a GetMap-Expression it`s possible to say:
.......&TRANSPARENT=TRUE
but how do I put this in my mapfile?
Like that:

 LAYER
NAME 'Wesermarsch'
TYPE RASTER
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTION
'http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapservertest/wms_wfs/wfs_hope/wms_server.map'
CONNECTIONTYPE WMS

METADATA
'wms_server_version' '1.1.1'
'wms_name' 'landkreis_export'
'wms_srs' 'EPSG:31467'
'wms_format' 'image/gif'
'wms_transparent' 'TRUE'
END
END ????

The Layer is not transparent at all :-[ 

I know that it`s possible to put TRANSPERENCY 60 (for example)
in the Layer-section of the mapfile, but I need a transparent WMS.
Does anybody know?
Thank you a lot.

that's weird... I mean, what is it that these clients of yours could
want? Would they like for it to be converted to proprietary source? I
mean, they could possibly offer a few million dollars for the
intellectual property, buy out the entire worldwide MapServer
community, and put their own brand on it.

An easier option for them would be to simply go and buy one of the
many closed source, proprietary alternatives and forget about
MapServer.

Maybe you should start conversation with them and find out before
starting the project... maybe they legitimately don't want an open
source solution, in which case, MapServer is not for them.

Each CGI request to MapServer is a completely new request, that behaves
as if it were the first MapServer request to that machine ever - it is
completely stateless, and all changes to data and indexes take effect
immediately.
 
If you are using caching software on the client or on your server, you
can modify that behavior, but that should come as no surprise.

Try to find out what exactly in open source bothers them, and dissolve any FUD 
that they might have been spread to them. If they have a list of issues, that 
can be dealt with, if it's just 'gut feeling' from management then it will be 
much harder. If you are talking to suits (no offense anyone :), from personal 
experience, do not emphasise the free aspect of Open Source (beer or word), 
rather concentrate on synergy, development speed, flexibility, community 
aspects. I found it helpful to use big companies that use Open Source for 
reference and added authority, like - Hey, if it's good enough for IBM on 
their big iron and it's good enough for Google for their top services... And 
these are companies that have many many factors on which to judge software, 
not only price. Again, I must underline you must find out what exactly 
bothers them in Open Source and address that particular issue, it will help 
much more than 3rd party success stories.

A good read on the topic:

Message-ID: <SUN.7.JAN.2007.225111.0100.KBEHNCKEIGF.UNIOSNABRUECK.DE>

Hello list,

I`m not sure if I have ignored something.
I try to use a WMS - GetFeatureInfo with Mapserver 4.10.0.

If I poste:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=C:/Programme/Apachegroup/Apache/
htdocs/zeitmess/wms_server.map&VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=
getFeatureInfo&layers=landkreis&BBOX=3430018,5876533,3491970,5948485&
Query_Layers=landkreis&WIDTH=500&Height=500&X=250&Y=250&
FEATURE_COUNT=30&INFO_FORMAT=text/plain&

I always just get:

"GetFeatureInfo results:

Layer 'landkreis'
  Feature 7:"

...but there are no results of the shape-columns.
I tested it on Windows XP and Debian Sarge 3.1.

If I test it with Mapserver 4.8.1 it works perfectly and I get:

"GetFeatureInfo results:

Layer 'landkreis'
  Feature 7: 
    DEUMUNIC_I = '2166'
    ID = '03461008'
    NAME = 'Ovelg?nne'
    AREA = '123.84'
    POPDENKM = '45.00'
    POPTOTAL = '5623.00'
    PO_M_T_95 = '2863.00'
    PO_F_T_95 = '2760.00'"

Might this be a bug or is there something I need to do specially in Mapserver
4.10.0 ?

By the way: If I use a HTML-Template to present the data of the Shape-columns
with MS 4.10 it works, but I need it as text/plain.
Could anybody help?
Thank you, Kai

John,

Like many of the other folks who responded, I think it is hard to
offer much advice without particulars of why the client is concerned.

One goal of OSGeo is to overcome some concerns with regard to open source.
For instance, we vette the code to ensure that there aren't "intellectual
property" landmines in the future, and we try to build a governance structure
around projects to provide assurance they are well managed and will last for
the long haul.

I would be quite interested in hearing what the clients concerns are, and
if there are things that OSGeo can or should be doing to address the
concerns.

Best regards,

John,

As Ed mentioned, MapServer is normally stateless so there is no action
needed to make mapserver start using the updates.  However, there is some
danger that operations like gdaltindex or gdalwarp could put the datasets
in an inconsistent state while they are running.  Doing these operations
on "live data" is somewhat risky though to be honest in-place updates of
TIFF files, and shapefiles are unlikely to trigger any problems.

Hi everybody!

A bad question to pose, but I really need an answer to it:
Is MapLab really working?

It's already a week that I'm struggling with it, but on my main server (Red 
Hat Enterprise Linux AS4, with its PHP 4.3.9-3.15) it is unreliable, it 
crashes every 5 mouse clicks...

Now I'm trying with Host GIS Linux, an old one with PHP 4.3.11, but until now 
it doesn't work.

Can you suggest me a reliable way of installing it?

Is it going better with Windows?

Bye
Vito

Hi, 
 
I cannot compare it with Linux, but MapLab with MS4W version 1.x is working fine for me.  It says in Maptools page:
 
" MS4W 1.x is recommended for MapLab, because of possible problems with PHP5 in MS4W 2.x."

Hello

iam running mapserver on a windows 2003 server. 
I made an application that uses ODBC connection, when I run it on my local machine that has sql installed it performance fast enough (takes 2 sec to make the map), but if I has a connection to a sql that is on another server the performance is not good (takes 20 sec to make the map).

it is the same database on both machines.

So is it a known fact that when using an external SQL server the performance is slow ?

Hello Michael,
thank you for that information.
I already checked out OFFSITE [r] [g] [b] and it made 
the layer on the top transparent (but it is a 100% transparency).

I would like to get it in a way that it`s just 50% transparent (so that one
can see the topic layer und underneath the streets, river, etc. of the
bottom-layer).
But I guess that this is not possible with wms-layer?

Hi Kai,

did you try it with "OFFSITE 255 255 255" for the layer definition
that cascades your wms?
I am not sure what mapservers behaviour is, when cascading a
transparent wms - if that transparency is (or can be) automatically
used.

You should be able to do this by using an SLD. Try something like (not
verified!):

"wms_sld_body" "<StyledLayerDescriptor version='1.0.0'
xmlns='http://www.opengis.net/sld'
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.opengis.net/sld
http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/sld/1.0.0/StyledLayerDescriptor.xsd'><NamedLayer><Name>YOURLAYERNAME</Name><UserStyle><FeatureTypeStyle><Rule><RasterSymbolizer><Opacity>0.5</Opacity></Rule></FeatureTypeStyle></UserStyle></NamedLayer></StyledLayerDescriptor>"

Change YOURLAYERNAME into the name of your layer (wms_name).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

have a look at mapbender and its digitizing capabilities:
http://www.mapbender.org/
http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Digitalisierung#ENGLISH

Try the link to the digitizing gui. Digitizing functionality includes
e.g. snapping to nodes and saving geometries via wfs-t
(geoserver->postgres).

Message-ID: <MON.8.JAN.2007.153304.0200.EZENAIDEGMAIL.COM>

hi all,

i'm trying to use Rosa Applet but, as usual, not sucessfully :)

i'm opening it with

<APPLET NAME="RosaApplet" ARCHIVE="./rosa/rosa_png.jar" CODE="Rosa2000"
WIDTH="760" HEIGHT="570" MAYSCRIPT>

same i was using with GMap. but the Java Console always returns

load: class Rosa2000 not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Rosa2000

i don't understand java, i've tried changing the CODE using full locations (
e.g. c:/ms4w/.../Rosa2000) and extension (class).
any clues?

thanks!

Hi John,

I have had the same problem, where a significant client has required a
mapserver site we set up as a prototype rebuilt in ArcIMS for
migration to their servers ... purely for beaureacratic reasons.

The prototype was created at significant cost to them, they understood
we were going to use MapServer, and they now must pay to port it to
ArcIMS, including the cost of Oracle, to replace PostGIS.

So my advice is, if they don't like MapServer, show them how much more
it is going to cost them to move to closed-source.  If they don't care
about the cost, they can spend the money for you to make what they
want.  The most important thing is what keeps You in business.

On a completly different topic:

I spent a couple weeks trying to get ESRI to tell me if ArcIMS 9.2
would truly support cascading WMS, in the sense that MapServer does,
meaning that it could take a WMS source and reproject it into the
projection of your map even if the WMS does not supply the map in your
projection.

They told me several times that not only does 9.2 support this, but
that 9.1 also does ... This is of course not true. Anyone who has
tried to use the wonderful NASA / JPL Landsat layers in a UTM map (the
LandSat is available only in WGS84) knows this to be the case. It
requires MapServer or similar to cascade it into the projection you
need.

ArcGIS Desktop 9.2 does actually support true cascading WMS, and
ArcIMS is supposed to replicate all of Desktop's functionality.

They finally admitted to me that despite their advertising of it,
true cascading WMS support was not an intended feature of ArcIMS 9.2,
and that this violates thier plan of matching ArcIMS functionality
with ArcGIS Desktop. They have filed this as a bug and feature
request.

Supposedly ArcIMS 9.2 will get this functionality in a future service pack.

Cheers,
Ken Lord

Hi John

I've been through this with a few clients who say they want the 'corporate
backing' and the old adage 'No one got fired for buying from IBM' - normally
comes down to who can they sue if something goes wrong.  Never heard of much
of that happening though!

I've explained to customers how the large vendors don't normally support the
solution but are just technology providers.  As a solution provider it is
actually safer for your client to have you supply Open Source as you have
access to all the code if there are any issues - not just access to a Tech
Support bod at the end of the phone line.


I gave a presentation about this a while ago at an Autodesk User Day and
although it mentions my company and my history it was titled 'What is all
this FOSS about'<http://images.autodesk.com/emea_nw_w_main/files/autodesk_open_day_25th_october_2006.ppt>-
trying to be comical.  There may be some pointers in there that may
help
with the slides about 'Who develops it' and 'Who backs it' and also why I
believe that there will always be a case for both open and closed source
(Generic Technology vs. Vertical Solution)

One last point would be how well do you know the customer?  Is there a
hidden agenda or does a closed source vendor salesman have their ear also -
may be worthwhile investigating prior to re pitching the compelling reasons
to go Open Source...

hello,
taking effective crash course in Mapserver and MySQL. 
Have seen CONNECTIONTYPE mygis, OGR/MySQL, JOIN and
MySQL, and related docs.  I haven't yet seen any
strong indication that anything in Mapserver is
compatible with the spatial extensions to MySQL (v4.1
and above, I think).

Can anyone confirm or refute the following: " I should
NOT attempt to model any spatial data in MySQL using
its spatial constructs if I want to display them in
Mapserver."

Thanks for any assist -- might save several hours of
investigation.

Hi Folks,

I have a several .map files, each layer defines a postgis connection 
string.  Which means everytime I want to change the access password, I 
have to update 20 diferent lines of code.
Is there anyway of defining a password string outside of the .map file ?

Dave.

Message-ID: <MON.8.JAN.2007.145327.0800.WEF1CEC.WUSTL.EDU>

Hey, I would really like my WCS request to output many more formats than just
GeoTIFF (netCDF, CSV, HDF, Ascii, etc.) but as far as I can tell,
mapserver's wcs only supports GeoTiff output.

So, I've seen some posts about serving GeoTiff, but most have been 8-24 bit. 
I have seen someone claim that mapserver outputs 32-bit GeoTiff.

So I try outputting GeoTiff, and I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

Anyway, my question is first: Does MapServer support WCS output in any other
format than GeoTiff?
Second, does MapServer support 32-bit GeoTiff WITH RAW DATA included?

And third, 500 Internal error when I try outputformat=GEOTIFF_RGB on my map.
I'm not going to include the whole map file, but if anyone has ideas feel
free to chime in.

I'm grateful for any voice or opinion.
Thanks!

I can only answer one of your questions, Mapserver WCS does support output
formats other than Geotiff. We use it to output Geotiff, ECW and MrSID. Just
define the respective outputformats (ofcourse you need GDAL to be compiled
with those options as writeable formats):

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME "GEOTIFF"
    MIMETYPE "image/tiff"
    DRIVER "GDAL/GTiff"
    EXTENSION "tif"
    IMAGEMODE "RGBA"
    TRANSPARENT TRUE
    FORMATOPTION "COMPRESS=PACKBITS"
  END

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME "ECW"
    MIMETYPE "image/ecw"
    DRIVER "GDAL/ECW"
    EXTENSION "ecw"
    IMAGEMODE "RGB"
    TRANSPARENT FALSE
  END

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME "MrSID"
    MIMETYPE "image/mrsid"
    DRIVER "GDAL/MrSID"
    EXTENSION "sid"
    IMAGEMODE "RGB"
    TRANSPARENT FALSE
  END

Best regards,
Bart

Hi,

There is a tutorial written by Gail and myself here, it even describes a
map file with 32-bit geotiff, hope it is of use

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/WCSServerFormatHowTo

MapServer can read and serve netCDF from the WCS interface if that is of
use to you.

Thanks,

Norman

Message-ID: <TUE.9.JAN.2007.130146.0100.JOSERAMONLOPEZGMAIL.COM>

Hi dear list, again.

We are trying to make a wms service with MapServer. The number of layers is
180, wich are stored in Oracle. When we do a GetCapabilities request, it
takes a lot of time sending the xml file. While it is sending the file,
something curious happens. The process that takes the most of the memory of
the computer is Oracle. Is there any parameter defined in the .map file,
that makes the computer verify all the layers stored in the .map file?

When i do a getlayer like ...Request=GetMap&Layers=xxx, it shows me fast.

Does Oracle verify the layers, when we do a getcapabilities request?

How i could optimize this?

Thanks for all

Probably Oracle is calculating the boundingboxes/extents for all of your
LAYERS, this is requested by Mapserver to produce the capabilities and is
very time consuming/costly.

Try setting the wms_extent METADATA for all of your LAYERs so that no
automatic calculation of the extents will be performed.

Hi all,

I've got a problem with reprojecting data (shapefiles) with mapserver:
I've got data in shapefiles as wgs84 (epsg:4326) I need to be able to  
reproject them in various coordinatesystems. However if I request the  
data as dutch RD (epsg:28992) and overlay it with a shapefile with  
the same data in epsg:28992 I get a vertical offset. (see attached  
image; the red and black line should overlap.)
If I reproject the data as UTM 30 I get a horizontal offset. Is there  
a magic trick to get mapserver reprojecting data on the fly? I've  
attached my mapfile if that helps.

regards,
Steven

That tutorial did help, thank you for writing it.

I'm thinking we're going to go with GeoTiff and try to convert it afterward
to something else.

I have managed to serve up geoTiff images, but it seems I can't serve
FLOAT32 GeoTiffs.
All the other imagemodes (RGB, BYTE, INT16, etc.) all work fine, but when i
set it to Float32, I get the quicktime icon with a question mark in front of
it, no errors or anything.

Anyone have any ideas why I can't serve Float32?

Thanks again!

Hello List,
thank you for all the hints!!
The WMS-Layer I want transparency for is in original a Vector-Layer,
so I think I can`t use SLD with <RasterSymbolizer> (??m not so much 
in SLD by now)??
I always get error messages then....
(that one: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/error/eppl7-error)

I found another solution. For the Layer I want transparency for I`m 
using hatching.

I define it in the symbolfile with:
SYMBOL
NAME "hatch"
TYPE HATCH
END

and in the WMS-Server:
STYLE
SYMBOL 'hatch'
ANGLE 45
COLOR 0 0 0
SIZE  6
WIDTH 1
END

That gives transparency in the client.
It`s not to 100% what I wanted, but nearly :-)

Regards, Kai

As you'll hear from others, if you have a choice, PostgreSQL with PostGIS
will give you more than what you'll get from MySQL.

That said, if you have some other reason to use MySQL, you can take
advantage of the spatial data types in MySQL with GDAL/OGR 1.3.2.

The only example on the MapServer site that I know about (that uses MySQL
spatial data types) is in the comments that I added to the bottom of the OGR
page:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/ogr_howto

Basically, use OGR as the CONNECTIONTYPE, use the
"MYSQL:dbname,user=username,password=secret" syntax in your CONNECTION
string, and put your SELECT statement in the DATA string.

Also (as you'll read in the second MySQL comment on the linked page), if you
want MySQL to use the spatial index on your features, you'll need to test
for some geometry relation in your SELECT statement.  Though MapServer is
only rendering a limited extent, the spatial index is not invoked unless you
use something like MBRContains in your SELECT statement.

Good luck,
Tim


PS - in case an example would be useful, here's an ugly one:

LAYER
	NAME "Abundance"
	GROUP "Survey Data"
	TYPE POINT
	CONNECTION "MySQL:dbname,user=username,password=secret"
	CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
	DATA "select the_geom, geog.geog as geog, geog.geogid as geogid,
geog.regionid as regionid, count(distinct TWAsurveys.formid) as surveys,
(avg(fish.abundance) * count(distinct TWAsurveys.formid)/geog.surveys) as
abundance from fish, TWAsurveys, geog where
MBRContains(GeomFromText('Polygon((%minx% %miny%, %minx% %maxy%, %maxx%
%maxy%, %maxx% %miny%, %minx% %miny%))'), the_geom) and fish.region = 'TWA'
and TWAsurveys.formid = fish.formid and geog.regionid = 'TWA' and
geog.geogid = TWAsurveys.geogr and TWAsurveys.type = '1' and %where% group
by TWAsurveys.geogr order by abundance;"

Ed,

Ho, ho, ho - good old quicktime!

Save the image from the browser and open it in a GIS, or use OpenEV
which works perfectly!  MapServer is serving float32, it is a client
error!

I quite often use the curl windows binary for dos to navigate around
these debug errors.

hi all,

something is wrong with my reference map. i'm using
<input type="image" src="[ref]" />
and it generate ok, but its not working.
just don't act like on GMap, where i can use it as pan.

on map file:

REFERENCE
    IMAGE media/images/parara.png
    EXTENT -38.234122 -11.52665 -34.594394 -8.133178

    OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
    SIZE 120 90
END

i've seen some examples using name parameter on html input
<input type="image" src="[ref]" name="KEYMAP" />
but i tried and nothing happens, also i didn't found KEYMAP anywhere, so i
think its nothing :P


thanks!

Awesome, thanks again Norman.

Now, just out of curiosity.  Does anyone happen to know of any way to
convert GeoTiff images? (Probably 32 bit) 

Hoping to convert to HDF, NetCDF, CSV, or even ASCII.

Any ideas at all I would love.

Thanks!

Ed,

You can use gdal_translate to convert Geotiffs to HDF, NetCDF and ASCII
but not CSV.  This assumes your GDAL has the optional HDF and NetCDF
support built in of course (as the FWTools binaries do).

eg.
  gdal_translate -of HDFImage in.tif out.hdf
  gdal_translate -of NetCDF in.tif out.nc
  gdal_translate -of AAIGRID in.tif out.grd

Hi

I'd like to color theme a layer (shapefile) based on one of its attributes. For
example, counties with high population density would be red, counties with
low population density green, and others (continuous or discrete) in between.

What would be the best approach?

Check the docs.
For the layer, check out the CLASSITEM.
For the classes, check out EXPRESSION.
And if you need more help, just ask.

Here's a super-simple example to get you started:

LAYER
  CLASSITEM "population"
  CLASS
    NAME "big city"
    EXPRESSION ([population] > 1000000)
  END
  CLASS
    NAME "small town"
    EXPRESSION ([population] < 10000)
  END
END

in FWTools 1.1.3 version dated January 5th 2007. Can you confirm ?

 

On another hand, it seems that for some FWTools versions (1.1.3 at least)
JPEG rendering does not work -zero size image- (JPEG only, PNG/GIF is OK),
with no error message in debug.

 

Any idea?

 

Finally has FWTools 1.1.3 been validated on W2003 server R2? I could not get
my own Mapserver version running on W2003 server (compiled with VS 2005 and
FWTools libs). 

 

Thanks,

 

Marc

Hi Marc: I'll fix in the main CVS branch and the 4.10 branch. I suspect

I didn't include it because

I couldn't think of a reason one would want to change it, but obviously

you have one... ;-)

Hi all,

 

 

 

I guess I found an omission in CGI controls:

&map_layer_tileindex=myshapeindex.shp does not render anything.

 

 

 

Checking the loadLayerString function in mapfile.c, it appears that the

case

TILEINDEX is missing. 

 

 

 

Just adding:

 

 

 

  case (TILEINDEX) :  

 

    msFree(layer->tileindex);

 

    layer->tileindex = strdup(value);

 

    break;

 

 

 

somewhere after the TEMPLATE case (just for ABC reasons) solves it.

 

 

 

It seems to be missing even for 4.10 version.

 

 

 

My 2 cents? :-) 

 

 

 

Greetings,

 

 

 

Marc

Message-ID: <WED.10.JAN.2007.104405.0600.HOLZMEIERCONTERRA.DE>

Hi all,

it seems to me that UMN WFS (4.10) has some problems with GetFeature
requests  that contains at least one attributive Query if a SDE connection
is used.

A basic GetFeature request with one comparison filter "PropertyIsEqualTo"
(see attached airp_req.xml) is beeing responded with a feature collection
containing features that doesn't match the defined query.

I set up an alternative shape-based WFS layer (shape exported from the SDE
feature class above) that works perfectly with the GetFeature request, i.e.
the returned feature collection contains only features that matches the
defined query.

Any idea why it works with shape bot not with sde? Perhaps similar experiences?

Regards, Richard

Marc,

The mapserver source for FWTools 1.1.3 would have been pulled from CVS
on January 4th or 5th.  I see Steve made a change in mapfile.c related
to tileindex/cgi handling on December 29th, so this is definately in
FWTools 1.1.3.  I'm not sure if this is the only change you are speaking
of.

I just tried "shp2img -m rot_out.map -o out.jpg" on msautotest/gdal/rot_out.map
after changing the IMAGETYPE value to jpeg, and it produced a valid jpeg
file.  So I don't think jpeg output is generally broken.  Perhaps there is
some issue with your map, or your configuration?

Folks have run FWTools on Win2003 (I don't know the revision) though I don't
know whether the mapserver was used there.

Hi! I'm trying to get GDAL configured for netCDF output (i.e. convert x file
to netCDF).

So, I install netcdf-3.6.1 (configure, make, make install).
I configure GDAL --with-netcdf=/usr/local/src/netcdf-3.6.1

...
  NETCDF support:            yes
...

then i run make for GDAL, and I get:
...
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/src/netcdf-3.6.1/lib/libnetcdf.a(attr.o): relocation

Bad value? I got the latest netCDF from

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Ed,

To link object code into a shared library (on some platforms) it needs to
be compiled with -fPIC.  I think you will need to go back to your netcdf
build, and doctor up the Makefile to include this option.

If there is a libnetcdf.so, linking against that would also resolve the
problem.

Yep. On x86_64 platform, -fPIC is required for virtually every library I
compile. It's a wonder that producing PIC isn't a default in the compiler
in this modern age; but that's a discussion for another forum.

Ed,

setting -fPic is non-trivial for the netcdf library as I remember it, however I do have step by step instructions for it (in the office, I am at home now) - if I forget remind me to post them to the list tomorrow.

It isn't a gdal issue, more a hack in the netcdf options file - I have it all running fine on a 64 bit server though reading netcdf through MapServer WCS and serving as geotiff.

A telnet session to localhost 5432 connects , therefore the database is

all,

anyone tried working out a method of applying a dimensioning style to a line dataset?

I specifically need to dimension a line segment based on getting the length from the spatial info in the shape file.  I need to dimension every line in a dataset, can the length be extracted from the shp file with mapserver cgi only,  I would prefer a non mapscript solution as i think this will be something handy to have for a bunch of reasons.

Thanks

Hi,

(resent since listserv doesn't like you using 'ok' as a starting
phrase!)

To build netCDF on 64 bit machines, and hence GDAL with netCDF, and thus
have netCDF support in MapServer :-)

--------
NetCDF
--------

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.gz
version: netCDF-3.6.0-p1

To install netCDF, uncompress and unpack the tar file, then change to
the src directory:

     gunzip netcdf-3_6_0.tar.gz
     tar -xf netcdf-3_6_0.tar
     cd netcdf-3_6_0/src

Edit macros.make, add -fPIC to CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, and CXXFLAGS

Now run the usual configure, make test, make install cycle:

     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
     make
     make install

I am not a c/c++ programmer so if I have done something criminal let me
know!

Hi! I'm trying to get GDAL configured for netCDF output (i.e. convert x
file
to netCDF).

So, I install netcdf-3.6.1 (configure, make, make install).
I configure GDAL --with-netcdf=/usr/local/src/netcdf-3.6.1

...
  NETCDF support:            yes
...

then i run make for GDAL, and I get:
...

Bad value? I got the latest netCDF from
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/...
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Subject: MS4W and Oracle (spatial)
Message-ID: <THU.11.JAN.2007.113357.0100.VBERREGIPARIS.COM>

Hello,

I'm using PHP/Mapscript 4.10 and I want to get the layer's shapeObj. I
use the function named 'getFeature' of the layerObj class.

This function is the equivalent of getShape which is deprecated since
the mapscript 4.10 version.

But, calling the function, I get the following error message : Fatal
error: Call to undefined method ms_layer_obj::getFeature(). 

I am using PHP/Mapscript 4.10 from the MS4W package. My data is in a
Oracle Spatial database 9.2 and I'm using an Oracle client 10g. 

My code : 

$layer->open();     

            for ( $j=0 ; $j<$nbSelectedObj ; $j++) 
            {           
			$object = $layer->getResult ($j);
			if ( $object  == null ) 
			{           
				echo "<br>objet NULL "; 
				exit ;
                  }
                  $shapeObj = $layer->getFeature($object->hapeindex);
			.......
			

Could anyone help me?

Subject: symbols in mapfile or symbolset file?
Message-ID: <THU.11.JAN.2007.130100.0100.DOLF.ANDRINGAELCYION.NL>

Hey all,

Is it possible to define the symbols that I want to use in my mapfile in 
side the mapfile itself or do I have to define them in a separate 
symbolset file and reference that? If it is possible to define them in 
the mapfile itself, where do I define them? In the map directive, in the 
layer directive, etc?
Thanks,

Dolf.

Symbols can be defined in the mapfile inside the map declaration.

Ok,thanks. I don't think it is possible to do this with mapscript though
is it? It would be nice if there was an addSymbol method on the mapObj
object in mapscript which allows you to add symbols to the map
declaration. Or am I completely missing something?

Hi Dolf,
normally you need to define symbols by yourself, or you use code that other
user have produced.


One example to define it inside a mapfile:

SCALEBAR
  STATUS embed
  TRANSPARENT off
  INTERVALS 4
  SIZE 200 3
  UNITS kilometers
  COLOR 250 250 250
  OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
  BACKGROUNDCOLOR 100 100 100
  STYLE 0
  POSTLABELCACHE true
  LABEL
    COLOR 0 0 90
    #OUTLINECOLOR 200 200 200
    SIZE small
  END  
END  



# SYMBOLS USED IN PMAPPER
# - 'circle' always necessary (used e.g. for highlight)
# - 'square' used in currecnt map file
# Symbols can also be defined via tag SYMBOLSET (see above)
Symbol
  Name 'circle'
  Type ELLIPSE
  Filled TRUE
  Points
    1 1
  END
END

Symbol
  Name 'square'
  Type VECTOR
  Filled TRUE
  Points
    0 1
    0 0
    1 0
    1 1
    0 1
  END
END


#================== START OF LAYER SECTION =====================#


LAYER
  NAME "jpl_wms_global_mosaic"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS OFF
  CONNECTION
............



But in my opinion, if you have quite a lot symbols:
Use the symbolfile for it. Its cleaner,
Regards, Kai

Yeah I know. THe question is just where I define them. When you normally 
use mapfiles you create a separate symbolset file with your symbol 
definitions and in the mapfile in the map description you add 
"symbolsetfile <filename>" or you directly put the symbol descriptions 
in the map description instead of in a separate file.

I am not writing mapfiles though, I am creating maps using mapscript 
(and directly draw them). And mapscript does not give you the option to 
add symbols to the mapObj, it just gives you the possibility to add a 
separate symbolSet file to the mapObj. That is my point. When I manually 
write mapfiles, I have the option to either define my symbols directly 
in the map  description or in a separate file and reference that from 
the map description. With mapscript I do not have that option.

hi, I am new to this list.
I am compiling mapserver on a debian server in order to build a web gis
environment.
the server is running a debian etch for amd64.
I have comiled from scratch php5.2, apache 2.0.59 and all the necessary
libraries (jpeg, png, tiff, freetype) in order to build gd2.0.33

I am finally at the last step, mapserver+PHP/mapscript, but when trying to
run 'mapserv' 

/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/mapserv: error while loading shared libraries:
libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried the trick explained by Xin Zheng at

but it didn't worked for me.

Any suggestion?

Hello raffaele,
a couple of weeks ago I had nearly the same problem.
Did you put the path to the gd-lib in
/etc/ld.so.conf ?

After changing that file you need to type: ldconfig

Could you post your configuration options ?
Not very familiar with debian and its files tree, but have a try with this

--with-gd=/usr/local
and all the other ones of course.
Any difference ?

thank you all for replying

I added '/usr/local'  but again didn't worked, and the I get the same error.

I have installed gd without adding a --prefix option, so the default
location should have been applied '/usr/local'

my configuration options include --with-gd=/usr/local

I acted the same on my testing machine and never had any kind of problem.

Message-ID: <THU.11.JAN.2007.173140.0100.DOLF.ANDRINGAELCYION.NL>

Hi people,

I am having the strangest problem. When setting a symbolsetfile to a 
mapObj with mapscript in python, and in the same script creating a 
classObj with an expression, I get an error: mapscript.MapServerError: 
loadSymbolSet(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error
I limited the error down to a small testscrip which is below. If I 
remove eiter one of the last two lines in the script, the error 
disappears. In the original script also layers and stuff (connection 
through ogr to postgres/postgis) are added, but that makes no 
difference. I also included my symbols file (see below). I added a BOF 
and EOF below to show the beginning and ends of the files, of course 
they are not in the actual files. The full traceback of the python error 
can be seen below as well. I am running Python 2.4.4 on Debian Sarge 
with a self compiled version of mapserver 4.10.0, gdal 1.3.2 and proj 4.5.0.
I have no idea what the problem is. I hope anybody can help.
Thanks,

Dolf.

Greetings,
I some maps created with v 4.4.1
Is it possible to antialias lines in mapserver v 4.4.1?
If so what would have to be done below to achieve results?

just to be a bit more annoying...


i'm trying to use non-embeded legend on GMap application.
since GMap uses specified functions to draw its maps, there's a function to
draw the legend?

Hi,

I have Windows 2003 server with the latest release of Apache and Mapserver
compiled with SDE(9.1) support.  I am able to generate a map with the SDE
layers but the following errors are showing up in the Apache error.log.

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] msSDELayerOpen(): Layer seclayer opened from
scratch.\r
[error] [client 127.0.0.1]
msConnPoolRegister(seclayer,192.168.5.5,port:5153,abc,user,***,01A12CA8)\r
[error] [client 127.0.0.1] msSDELayerOpen(): Layer seclayer specified
version SDE.DEFAULT.\r
......

Ultimately I'm trying to get FastCGI working but have been unable to and I'm
wondering if this may be why.

Thanks,
Chad

Tried that.
Also tried the host name strings 127.0.0.1, 10.1.18, localhost,  not
defining a host string.  All with the same result.

"msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'castles'.

connect string 'host=10.1.1.8 user=dave password=*******

occured when trying to make a connection to the specified postgresql
server. Most commonly this is caused by (1) incorrect connection string
(2) you didnt specify a 'user=...' in your connection string (3) the
postmaster (postgresql server) isnt running (4) you are not allowing
TCP/IP connection to the postmaster (5) your postmaster is not running on
the correct port - if its not on 5432 you must specify a 'port=...' (6)
the security on your system does not allow the webserver (usually user
'nobody') to make socket connections to the postmaster (7) you forgot to
specify a 'host=...' if the postmaster is on a different machine(8) you
made a typo"




I have tried disabling all of my virus checking software.
Tried differrent versions of the fwtool tool kit (fwtools 1.07, 1.12 and
1.13.  Also tried postgres 8.1.5 and 8.1.6 and postgis 1.2.

Since postgres is'nt reporting any error, failed connection attempts
etc,etc  I have assume that the problem, what ever it is lies somewhere
within mapserver.

Any suggestions welcome.

Dave.

PS another example

Hello,
 
I am trying to implement a MapScript function to simulate the ImageMap
creation with MapServer example.
 
I am using the MapScript C# system and implementing the code in VB.NET.
My goal is to build a new ImageMap class that will implement MapScript.
 
I have made the query run and return results however I am trying to work
out how to access the shapeObj bounds in terms of shpxy rather than
coords. I have returned the result in coords but cannot find how to
convert to imgxy. Is there an easy solution?

Hi,
 
I dont know about implementing them "In" Mapserver. I think you'd implement them on a Dynamic Webpage and use the combo-list choices to feed to MapServer. Below's a quick snippet how I would do that using JSP. Exchange with your script language of choice...
 
<%
String path = request.getContextPath();
String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+path+"/";
String mySHPpath = request.getRealPath("/") + "SHP"; //get path on server that points to SHP directory
int myFilesNum; 
String[] MyFilesList; 
File myDir = new File(mySHPpath);
if (myDir == null) {
 out.println("<br/>ERROR: SHP directory not found at " + mySHPpath + " <br/>");
} else {
 MyFilesList = myDir.list();
if (MyFilesList == null) {
 out.println("<br/>ERROR: no SHP files found in directory " + mySHPpath + " <br/>");
} else {
 myFilesNum = MyFilesList.length;
%>
<select name="fileBox">
<% for (int i = 0; i < myFilesNum; i++) {%>
 <option value="<%=MyFilesList[i]%>"><%=MyFilesList[i]%></option>

Nicol showd be the link below as an answer to my question, which it 
would be if I was using PHPMapscript, but I am using the python 
mapscript module. the nomal mapscript API 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript/index_html) does 
not seem to offer this possibility. Is that correct? To me it would be 
very logical if you could just create a mapObj, then create symbolSetObj 
and then some symbolObj's, add the symbolObj's to the symbolSetObj and 
add the symbolSetObj to the mapObj. Just like you can create classObj's, 
add them to layerObj's, and add layerObj's to a mapObj. I am trying this 
to circumvent the problem I posted yesterday with the strange parsing 
error when adding a symbolset file to a mapObj.
Hope somebody can help me with either of the problems.

Ok, I have got it to work with a workaround. It is not very clean, but 
it works :)
I first write the mapObj to a file
Then I read that file with python
I remove the last END statment
and then I add all symbol statements to it.
I add the END statement again at the end of the file and write it to 
disk again. Then I create a new mapObj from that mapfile.

Script:

mpobj.save("tmp.map")
lines=open("tmp.map",'r').readlines()
lines[-1]=""
for s in symbols:
	lines.append(s)
lines.append("\nEND\n")
open("tmp.map",'w').writelines(lines)
mpobj=mapscript.mapObj("tmp.map")


The symbols variable is a list of strings where each string is a symbol 
definition like:
SYMBOL
  NAME 'point5'
  TYPE ELLIPSE
  FILLED FALSE
  POINTS
   5.0 5.0
  END
END


I know, it is not very clean but it works for now. I am really open to 
better ways of doing this. :) Thanks,

Dolf.

Subject: Implementing combo boxes {Scanned}

Hi Willem,

You can use the select item in a html form. You will get the selected 
value in the query string like 
controlname=value

If you would like to serve few number of shape files, then you can create 
a map file all layers involved and turn on/off layers through the query 
string.
I usually do it using checkboxes or multiselect lisboxes.
If you would get more freedom you should use mapscript.

Subject: Multi-feature query
Message-ID: <FRI.12.JAN.2007.100923.0500.MJWSTORM.CA>

Hello all.  Brand new shiny user here and just got Mapserver running on 
Fedora and have a query, er, query.

I have several shapefile layers, each of which may have multiple 
features at the identical lat/lon.  Each feature only has
an ID (or Key) as an attribute within the dbf while the remaining 
attributes are maintained in other files. Upon a query,
all the features from a unique layer need to contribute their attributes 
to a collective computation with the result of
that being presented to the browser.  In essence, a "Venn diagram" of 
their attributes.

So I've digested the Template issue in the Layer's Class, conceptually 
seeking a capability to do something like:
TEMPLATE "http://mymachine/crunch_stuff.cgi?<key=[id1]>...<key=[idn]> 
but see that the template doesn't
behave like that.  After a bit of experimentation, I invented my own an 
HTML tag and have things structured as per
the following extracts, which essentially is a Mapserver wrapper to do 
that cgi above.  The invented tag is only seen
momentarily by the wrapper.  Each time the wrapper has collected a 
command in SHELL_ESCAPE, it runs it, whose
purpose is to chew through the feature keys, collect attributes, crunch 
them, and send HTML chatter back to the browser.
When complete, the command looks like: "./species.cgi key1 key2 key3 
key4 key5 [etc]"

What I don't yet know is whether there exists a more elegant, 
"Mapserver-ish" solution to this and seek suggestions.

Here are the extracts:

============my.map==============
<...snip>
  LAYER
    NAME Species
    TYPE POINT
    DATA species
    STATUS ON
    TOLERANCE 5 # 5 pixels
    CLASS
      <...snip...>
      TEMPLATE "templates/species.html"
    END

    HEADER "templates/species_header.html"
    FOOTER "templates/species_footer.html"

    METADATA
      <...snip...>
    END
  END
<...snip>

=====species_header.html with the invented "<?sh" tag ==========
<?sh species.cgi

============species.html===============
[SYMBOL_KEY]

============species_footer.html==========
?>

=============mapserv.cgi===========
#!/bin/sh
./mapserv | while read INPUT; do
# set a latch when we see the <?sh opening tag
  if `echo "$INPUT" | grep -q "<?sh"`; then
    BUILDING_SHELLCMD=y
  fi
# collect feature "keys" one by one since they are NL delimited by Mapserver
  if [ "$BUILDING_SHELLCMD" = "y" ]; then
    SHELL_CMD="$SHELL_CMD $INPUT"
    if `echo "$INPUT" | grep -q "?>"`; then
# we found the closing tag
      BUILDING_SHELLCMD=n
# Now strip the command of those tags
      SHELL_ESCAPE=`echo $SHELL_CMD | sed 's/<?sh \(.*\)?>/\1/'`
# and run ./$SHELL_ESCAPE"
      ./$SHELL_ESCAPE
# and reinit
      SHELL_CMD=
    fi
  else
# Otherwise just dump output through to browser
    echo $INPUT
  fi
done

I am doing a spatial query of a polygon layer.  The query that I have 
working is a line layer but I don't think it has anything to do with that.

my Layer is defined thusly ...

   LAYER
   NAME landsat_4
   TYPE POLYGON
   DATA landsat_4
   STATUS ON
     CLASSITEM LOCATION
     CLASS
       NAME "Landsat Data"
       STYLE
         COLOR 40 40 200
       END
       STYLE
         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
         WIDTH 1
         ANTIALIAS TRUE
       END
     END
     TEMPLATE "templates/landsat_4.html"
   END

and the template (templates/landsat_4.html) looks like this ...

<table border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr><td>File Name</td><td>Imagery 
Source</td><td>Path</td><td>Row</td><td>Projection</td><td>Datum</td><td>Image 
Date</td></tr>
<tr><td>[LOCATION]</td><td>[SOURCE]</td><td>[PATH]</td><td>[ROW]</td><td>[PROJ]</td><td>[DATUM]</td><td>[IMGDATE]</td></table>

All the fields occur in the layer "landsat_4.shp" just as they appear in 
the html template.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Are you doing a point query or an attribute query?

Posting relevant test from you map file and template would help people
diagnose the issue.

there's a way to apply a query to all features without name all?
for example:

 (* <= 0.4)

i've tried this and returns:

 msQueryByAttributes(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s)
found.

even if there is a match record.

Hi Ron--

I don't believe that antialiased lines were supported that far back. 
AFAICT, cartographic symbols supporting antialiased lines and much more
were introduced in 4.6 (see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cartosymbols/), while a more
straightforward approach to antialiased lines was introduced in 4.8 (see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/antialiasedlines).

HTH,

Hi Eduardo,

I suppose you want to create a logical expression on a column of the layer 
data table. Try
EXPRESSION ([COLUMN_NAME] < 0.4)
See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/msexpressions

Upon further reflection I was able to figure out what the problem was. 
All the fields in my template were upper case.  Apparently case matters 
when naming the fields in the template html.

Hi,

I'd like to ask if this is possible.
I'd like to make an overlay in Google Maps using parcels AND buildings-
data.
For now I can only make an overlay using or pacel data or building data.
I'd like to make a tab using both of them..I was thinking of doing
that using nested layers in MapServer, but I don't know how
to serve them in WMS and make sure Google picks them up both...
Has anyone ever done this ?

hi,
if you're using this:
http://chignik.berkeley.edu/google/wms236.js.
you could just add both WMS layers to the same javascript layer array
and they will appear as a single layer.
so no change in your map-file should be necessary as long as your 
transparency is set correctly.

Brent,

Thanks for your answer, seems it's easier than I thought :-),
yet I can't seem to figure out how to define this in my layer var...(I
know...).
So could you help me out with that ?
For now this how my layer var is defined:

tileCounty.myLayers='Gebouwen84';

I'd like to add 'Percelen84'

Thanks !
Steven

Subject: JOIN object usage in a mapfile
Message-ID: <SUN.14.JAN.2007.105822.0500.JMCKENNADMSOLUTIONS.CA>

Hello everyone,

For the first time I am trying to use the mapfile JOIN object, and I 
can't seem to get it to work.  From the mapjoin.c file I can see that 
DBF, CSV, PostgreSQL, and MySQL are supported.  I have personally tried 
to view query results joined from DBF, CSV, and PostgreSQL tables 
unsucessfully.  (my goal is to also update the sparse documentation for 
this also on http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/join). 
  Here is my DBF test case:

Test Environment
****************

mapserver 4.10.0
windows

mapfile layer
*************

LAYER
   NAME prov_bound
   TYPE POLYGON
   STATUS DEFAULT
   DATA prov
   CLASS
     NAME "Province"
     STYLE
       OUTLINECOLOR 120 120 120
       COLOR 255 255 0
     END
   END
   TEMPLATE "../htdocs/cgi-query-templates/prov.html"
   HEADER "../htdocs/cgi-query-templates/prov-header.html"
   FOOTER "../htdocs/cgi-query-templates/footer.html"
   JOIN
     NAME "test"
     TABLE "../data/lookup.dbf"
     FROM "ID"
     TO "IDENT"
     TYPE ONE-TO-ONE
   END
END # layer

ogrinfo
*******

 >ogrinfo lookup.dbf lookup -summary
INFO: Open of `lookup.dbf'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: lookup
Geometry: None
Feature Count: 12
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
IDENT: Integer (2.0)
VAL: Integer (2.0)

 >ogrinfo prov.shp prov -summary
INFO: Open of `prov.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: prov
Geometry: Polygon
Feature Count: 12
Extent: (-2340603.750000, -719746.062500) - (3009430.500000, 3836605.250000)
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
NAME: String (30.0)
ID: Integer (2.0)


Template
********

<tr bgcolor="#EFEFEF"><td align="left">[NAME]</td><td 
align="left">[VAL]</td></tr>

Query Results
*************

Layer: Provinces

NAME	VAL
====    ====
Ontario	[VAL]	

Other Notes
***********

- the join seems to be happening, because if I specify false FROM/TO 
values errors are thrown, yet I cannot get values to appear from the 
[VAL] field
- ID/IDENT are integer values from 1 to 12
- the join works with desktop GIS packages


Can someone see what I am doing wrong?

thanks.

jeff

Hi Jeff,

You should refer to the column in the joined table in your template like
[joinname_columnname]

In your case it should be
[test_VAL]

Be carefull with the upper and lower case letters!

Nevermind,  it was indeed easier than I thought :-)

Hi Guys,

today I've doenloaded the new MS4W package ms4w 2.2.1.zip here:
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html,
but when I use -mapserv -v to check the version, it returns:

MapServer version 4.8.3
OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF
 OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPO
RTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER
SUPPO
RTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL
INPUT=OGR
 INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

does that mean this package is not using the new MapServer 4.10.0 source?
Should I compile it myself from source code if I want to use the latest
version?

thanks for your information.

Zhonghai

Or you can also the simple way: install latest FWTools (
fwtools.maptools.org ).

It contains a mapserv.exe

It looks like you have another mapserv.exe in your PATH, is that possible?

MS4W 2.2.1 contains MapServer 4.10.0.

By the way, MS4W has its own mailing list for these type of

yup, you are right, I have another mapserver.exe in my PATH. I've fixed it,
Thanks.

Is this mailing list not the same as the one you mentioned? seems that
windows users have their own mailing list.

Subject: PHPMapscript : PointObj->draw(...) problem
Message-ID: <MON.15.JAN.2007.165257.0100.STEPHANE.RIFFCERENE.FR>

Hi everybody,

I have a little problem on the draw function with the pointObj class.
I want to add point dynamically from a postgis database with PHPMapscript.
So I get the coordinates from postgis and draw the point with 
pointObj->draw(...) function.
The problem is that my pixmap symbols doesn't have the transparency 
activated and my label doesn't have background color.

I use the code below :
 
$mobileLayer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
$mobileLayer->set("name","Mobiles");
$mobileLayer->set("type",MS_LAYER_POINT);
$mobileLayer->set("status",MS_ON);
$mobileLayer->set("transparency",MS_GD_ALPHA);
$mobileLayer->set("labelcache",MS_OFF);
$mobileLayer->setProjection("init=epsg:4326",MS_TRUE);
       
$a_class = array();
for($row=0;$row<pg_num_rows($result);$row++)
{
  $lon = pg_fetch_result($result,$row,0);
  $lat = pg_fetch_result($result,$row,1);
  $ico = pg_fetch_result($result,$row,2);
  $sid = pg_fetch_result($result,$row,3);
           
  if(!in_array($ico,$a_class))
  {
    array_push($a_class,$ico);
    $mobileClass = ms_newClassObj($mobileLayer);
    $mobileClass->set("name",$ico);
    $mobileStyle = ms_newStyleObj($mobileClass);
    $mobileStyle->set("symbolname",$cfg_root."images/symbols/".$ico);
    $mobileLabel = $mobileClass->label;
    $mobileLabel->set("font","Arialbd");
    $mobileLabel->set("size",12);
    $mobileLabel->set("type",MS_TRUETYPE);
    $mobileLabel->set("offsety",-22);
    $mobileLabel->color->setRGB(255,0,0);
    $mobileLabel->backgroundcolor->setRGB(255,0,0);
  }
           
  $class_index = 0;
  for($cl=0;$cl<$mobileLayer->numclasses;$cl++) {
    $class = $mobileLayer->getClass($cl);
    if($class->name == $ico) {
      $class_index = $cl;
   }
 }
 $point = ms_newPointObj();
 $point->setXY($lon,$lat);
 if($point->draw($map, $mobileLayer, $imgObj, $class_index, $sid) == 
MS_FAILURE)
   print("error drawing point");
}

The result image is like that the one attached :

Hi, First of all, sorry my English.

I'm using the last version of mapserver for windows. I want to know if there
is a way to stop Mapserver adding lines at apache error.log file showing
scalefactor each time it draws a map, even for each layer I guess.

This lines shows as follow:

[Fri Jan 12 16:02:18 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] scalefactor =
0.0177154\r

I have no "DEBUG ON" line in my mapfile.

Thanks.

Subject: Problems trying to change projection
Message-ID: <MON.15.JAN.2007.171350.0100.MCOMPTESIGTE.UDG.ES>

Hi everyone,

We have a Mapserver drawing some layers from a local WMS service. The 
WMS service can only provide the data in EPSG:23031 (utm) but we need to 
be able to query our Mapserver by using EPSG:4326 (latlong).

If I understood it right Mapserver should be able to change the 
projection of my layers, right?

We tried specifying the incoming coordinate system inside the LAYER 
object in the mapfile. Then specify the working (output) coordinate 
system inside the PROJECTION object in the mapfile.

But when querying the mapserv using geographic coordinates we get a 
white image, no data.

Mapfile looks something like ...

---------------------------------
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326" #longlat datum wgs84 elipsoide wgs84
END

LAYER     NAME orto
    MINSCALE 100
    MAXSCALE 10000
    TYPE RASTER
    STATUS default
    CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
    CONNECTION 
"http://galileo.icc.es/wms/servlet/icc_orto5m_r_r?REQUEST=map&LAYERS=Ortofoto_5000&STYLES=&FORMAT=png&version=1.1.1" 

    METADATA
        "wms_name" "Ortofoto_5000"
        "wms_server_version" "1.1.1"
        "wms_srs" "epsg:23031"
        "wms_format" "image/png"
    END

    PROJECTION
        "init=epsg:23031"
    END
END
-----------------------------------

In the mapfile we have tried both using the EPSG code and specifying the 
proj/datum/ellipsoid, for both the output and the layer definition, and 
the result is still the same.

If we specify "proj=utm" (instead of "proj=longlat"), "ellps=WGS84" and 
"datum=WGS84" and we query mapserver using utm coordinates we seem to be 
getting a good map, with the new datum and ellipsoid. But changing the 
projection doesn't seem to work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Marc Compte

This is a msDebug call without a check around it in mapdraw.c (it's also 
in 4.8.4).

I have opened up a bug for this, hopefully somebody will fix this soon:

Hi,

Below is a comment from a developer of a GeoServer product that runs on top
of MapServer, which I will call xyzGeoServer

The open source MapServer contains some memory leaks whereby running it in
FastCGI mode will eventually cause issues, however in the xyzGeoServer
release it handles properly.

Does the above statement have any truth to it or has recent upgrades to
MapServer fixed this issue?

Thanks,

Yes it is true, but as you can read here there are ways to deal with

Hi,
I suppose your  wkt MULTIPOLYGON syntax is wrong...

your point must form a closed linestring.

The correct syntax could be something like this:

Subject: Shift between Label and Key Boxes in Legend
Message-ID: <TUE.16.JAN.2007.135947.0100.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

Hmmm...

just remarked a slight y-shift of a couple of pixels between the key  
boxes in the legend and the corresponding labels. So, the first box  
for "no data" is some 5 pixels or so higher than the text. Same for  
all other key boxes.

Any idea why this could be? Can't remember having this seen before...  
I looked for an OFFSET or so, but there is nothing to specify in  
LEGEND element, other than for example the general distance between  
the lines...

Thanks for any hints!

Buggy,

You're right the WKT is wrong, also the OGC SFS spec is wrong.
Here is more about this bug:

You need to group polygons this way:

MULTIPOLYGON
(
((10 10, 10 20, 20 20, 20 15, 10 10)),
((60 60, 70 70, 80 60, 60 60))
)

Note, double (( and )).

Jeppe,

It's strange to me, because following should be considered as valid WKT:

MULTIPOLYGON
(
(( first  polygon coords)),
(( second polygon coords ))
)

May be there is a bug in WKT parser.

Hi

I have stored the wkt string in the Database and connect to it through
ODBC
and this way it shows the multipolygon fine, but it will not with the
function 
ms_shapeObjFromWkt()

so I was hoping someone could test it and see if it is a bug or not.
for me it looks like a bug, but iam not sure.

I am using Mapscript 4.10 compiled with GEOS 2.2.3, and PHP 4.4.4, over

hi 

ok I do not have GEOS compiled with mapserver so is using the other

took your

John,

Which product is xyzGeoServer and why aren't they willing to 
contribute their fixes back to the software?

Subject: PHP/Mapscript on Fedora Core 5
Message-ID: <TUE.16.JAN.2007.111055.0500.MSEIBELGMAIL.COM>

Greetings everyone.

I have gone through various documents for several days, to try to get
PHP/Mapscript working on FC5.  While I am familiar with CGI Mapserver, the
PHP configuration is new to me.  I keep getting a "PHP Warning: dl() [<a
href='function.dl'>function.dl</a>]: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib/php/modules/php_mapscript.so' "

I compiled mapserver with the --with-php=DIR option, and got a
php_mapscript.so file from Make, which I placed in the /usr/lib/php/modules
directory (as per my php.ini file).  The .so file is accessable by apache,
and has r-x permissions.  my phpinfo() works fine and spits back a bunch of
stuff, but I keep getting an "unable to load php_mapscript.so" error in
apache web log.  I checked the php.ini file, and it is pointing to the
'/usr/lib/php/modules' directory.  the php.ini file also allows for dl
loads.

I used this document, (which was from 2004, so I presume FC4 or maybe FC3?)
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0404/msg00266.html
and had no luck.  I am not sure I understand why a wrapper script is needed
in this example.

I  also uninstalled the RPM of PHP and tried a source install which didnt
work, however, i didnt really try  much with the configure options from
source, and went back to the RPM software.

On the FAQ page of mapserver, it says that PHP/Mapscript has to be setup as
CGI, but others had mentioned to me they were successfully using
PHPmapscript as a module without problems on Debian.  The RPM install on
FC5, puts a "php" and a "php-cgi" program in the /usr/bin directory.  i
tried pointing to the php-cgi app too, but no luck.


Any suggestions are most welcome.

I struggled to get FastCGI working with mapserver but finally did using the steps below.  However I'm having memory exceptions when using SDE layers anywhere from 3 to 15 map requests.  I also tested against PostGIS and didn't receive any exceptions for the first 40 requests but the mapserv.exe did gradually consume more memory.  I'm not sure if the configuration I used below is the best, but it's all I have found so far.  Is there a different configuration I could use that would work more reliably on Windows 2003 server with SDE?


 - Installed Apache version 2.0.59, this appears to be the latest version to work with mod_fastcgi.

 - I downloaded mod_fastcgi http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-2.4.2-AP20.dll and placed it in the cgi-bin directory.

 - Placed my compiled (FastCGI enabled) mapserver in the cgi-bin directory.

 - Added the following lines to conf.httpd in Apache.

 - LoadModule fastcgi_module cgi-bin/mod_fastcgi-2.4.2-AP20.dll
 - AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
 - FastCgiServer cgi-bin/mapserv.exe 

 - added the following to each layer in the map file: PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"


Thanks,
Chad

  Hi,

  I have Windows 2003 server with the latest release of Apache and Mapserver
  compiled with SDE(9.1) support.  I am able to generate a map with the SDE
  layers but the following errors are showing up in the Apache error.log.

  [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msSDELayerOpen(): Layer seclayer opened from
  scratch.\r
  [error] [client 127.0.0.1]
  msConnPoolRegister(seclayer,192.168.5.5,port:5153,abc,user,***,01A12CA8)\r
  [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msSDELayerOpen(): Layer seclayer specified
  version SDE.DEFAULT.\r
  ......

  Ultimately I'm trying to get FastCGI working but have been unable to and I'm
  wondering if this may be why.

  Thanks,
  Chad

hi, all,

someone could give me an example of an MapServer application that is
possible to do queries (using text inputs) and the map reload based only on
this query?

i mean the link, or course ;)

Hi, I'm trying to get php/mapscript working, but my php_mapscript.so keeps
getting denied something.

Here's my error_log:

PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib64/php4/php_mapscript.so' - /usr/lib64/php4/php_mapscript.so:
cannot open shared object file: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0


My unix/server guy says it's not Apache that's getting denied access, it's
the object file that's trying to do something and getting denied.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Subject: Can I reproject WMS service using cgi parameters?
Message-ID: <WED.17.JAN.2007.125306.0000.MDEBLOISMAPLECROFT.NET>

Hi all,
I am struggling trying to get a local WMS mapservice (local one with 
data in EPSG:4326) to be reprojected on the fly into a projection for 
which no EPSG code exists (Winkel Triple). But I am not sure whether 
this is possible (since there is not EPSG code for Winkel Triple I 
cannot add a WMS_SRS in the layer properties).

What I am trying to do is add onto the url for the map request:
 "proj=wintri&ellps=WGS84&lat_1=50&units=meters&BBox=-16000000,-10000000,16000000,10000000"
The result is the map in EPSG:4326 projection though zoomed out greatly. 
After changing the bounding box to -180,-90,180,90 I get my 'normal' 
lat/lon map though not in the projection I wish.

Could someonelet me know if what I am trying is possible at all? Thanks 
ahead!

cheers,
Mark

Jeppe,

I think in 4.8.x the MapServer<->OGR WKT conversion was not as robust as it
is in 4.10.  In particular some of the "multi" types may not have been
supported.  If you can reproduce the same problem with 4.10.0, then please
submit a bug report against MapServer assigned to me, and I'll look into it.

Best regards,

Hi,
maybe just a php4 wrong 'extension_dir' in php.ini or a wrong
php_mapscript.so position for your current 'extension_dir'

Default php.ini has './' in 'extension_dir' and this path is relative to
your php.ini position, try with your absolute path or, as php.ini usually
resides in a depeer level ( eg. '/usr/lib64/php4/lib/php.ini' ) put your
php_mapscript.so in the same dir of php.ini

hope this helps

Hi everybody!
Could someone help me!

Mapserver is not rendering the raster layer, the others are OK. I?ve tried several ways to resolve this, but nothing.
The file sint_123.png is associated with sint_123.wld (georreference).

The sint_123.wld is like this:

0.0000000000
-30
-54.126061
-29.600353



The mapfile is like this:

Here's a good one, when I run: "php phpinfo.php" from the command line,
everything works GREAT, but when I view it in a browser window, it doesn't
seem to work.

Here's my phpinfo.php code:

  if (extension_loaded("MapScript"))
        echo "works!";
  else
        echo "doesn't work!";

  print_r(get_loaded_extensions());

  phpinfo();

    [6] => mysql
    [7] => ctype
    [8] => pcre
    [9] => MapScript
)
phpinfo()
PHP Version => 4.4.2

However when I go to this page in my browser
(http://niceguy.wustl.edu/mapserver/phpinfo.php), I get:
doesn't work!

Totally different! I don't get it....

Cristhiano,

Note that your world file indicates a pixel size of 30 degrees by
30 degrees, so your map extent is covered by a fraction of the first
pixel.

If you mean the pixels to be 30 meters by 30 meters you could try replacing
30 and -30 with 0.00027 and -0.00027 and see if it is roughly right.  But
you should likely review exactly where you think this raster file is in the
world.

Best regards,

ok, closing the thread i'm posting the solution i've made for non-embedded
legend for GMap based applications. nothing new, it's all based on
GMapDrawKeyMap().:

this goes on inc.php file (as gmap75.inc.php):

function GMapDrawLegend(){
    GLOBAL $gpoMap;
    GLOBAL $gAppletImgFmt, $gImagesFmt;

    $img = $gpoMap->drawLegend();
    $url = $img->saveWebImage($gImagesFmt, 0, 0, -1);

    printf("<b>Legend:</b><br/><br/><input type=image src=$url name=legend
/>");
}

and it goes on template file (as gmap75.phtml):

<?php GMapDrawLegend() ?>


hope someone use it :)
well, i'm using...

Hi Mark: Typically when I've run into something like this I stick with
the standard
templates but have them produce javascript code instead. Something
like:

in species_header.html:

<html>
  <head>
  <script language="JavaScript">
    var url = "http://mymachine/crunch_stuff.cgi?";
    var keys = new Array();

in species.html

    keys.push('[SYMBOL_KEY');

in species_footer.html

    url = url + keys.join('+');
    window.location.href = url;
 </script>
  </head>
</html>

Seems to work ok. I don't know if it's more elegent, but it might be a
bit easier to
understand? Same technique can be used to build, for example, JSON
objects...

>>> Mark Westenberger <mjw at STORM.CA> 1/12/2007 9:09:23 AM >>>
Hello all.  Brand new shiny user here and just got Mapserver running on

Fedora and have a query, er, query.

I have several shapefile layers, each of which may have multiple 
features at the identical lat/lon.  Each feature only has
an ID (or Key) as an attribute within the dbf while the remaining 
attributes are maintained in other files. Upon a query,
all the features from a unique layer need to contribute their
attributes 
to a collective computation with the result of
that being presented to the browser.  In essence, a "Venn diagram" of 
their attributes.

So I've digested the Template issue in the Layer's Class, conceptually

seeking a capability to do something like:
TEMPLATE "http://mymachine/crunch_stuff.cgi?<key=[id1]>...<key=[idn]> 
but see that the template doesn't
behave like that.  After a bit of experimentation, I invented my own an

HTML tag and have things structured as per
the following extracts, which essentially is a Mapserver wrapper to do

that cgi above.  The invented tag is only seen
momentarily by the wrapper.  Each time the wrapper has collected a 
command in SHELL_ESCAPE, it runs it, whose
purpose is to chew through the feature keys, collect attributes, crunch

them, and send HTML chatter back to the browser.
When complete, the command looks like: "./species.cgi key1 key2 key3 
key4 key5 [etc]"

What I don't yet know is whether there exists a more elegant, 
"Mapserver-ish" solution to this and seek suggestions.

Here are the extracts:

============my.map==============
<...snip>
  LAYER
    NAME Species
    TYPE POINT
    DATA species
    STATUS ON
    TOLERANCE 5 # 5 pixels
    CLASS
      <...snip...>
      TEMPLATE "templates/species.html"
    END

    HEADER "templates/species_header.html"
    FOOTER "templates/species_footer.html"

    METADATA
      <...snip...>
    END
  END
<...snip>

=====species_header.html with the invented "<?sh" tag ==========
<?sh species.cgi

============species.html===============
[SYMBOL_KEY]

============species_footer.html==========
?>

=============mapserv.cgi===========
#!/bin/sh
./mapserv | while read INPUT; do
# set a latch when we see the <?sh opening tag
  if `echo "$INPUT" | grep -q "<?sh"`; then
    BUILDING_SHELLCMD=y
  fi
# collect feature "keys" one by one since they are NL delimited by
Mapserver
  if [ "$BUILDING_SHELLCMD" = "y" ]; then
    SHELL_CMD="$SHELL_CMD $INPUT"
    if `echo "$INPUT" | grep -q "?>"`; then
# we found the closing tag
      BUILDING_SHELLCMD=n
# Now strip the command of those tags
      SHELL_ESCAPE=`echo $SHELL_CMD | sed 's/<?sh \(.*\)?>/\1/'`
# and run ./$SHELL_ESCAPE"
      ./$SHELL_ESCAPE
# and reinit
      SHELL_CMD=
    fi
  else
# Otherwise just dump output through to browser

Hi John, so in the busted app you see the []'s in the output? If that's
the case then
there's likely a mismatch between tag and attribute names. The names
are case
sensitive, that is you access attribute FOO through the tag [FOO].

Let me know if that doesn't help and I'll try to help more.

I'm still working on modifying the basic ITASCA DEMO.  I got some 
queries to work in one application (returns data from the dbf table)
but 
they aren't working correctly in another (returns a table that looks 
like the static template file without any data).

In both I have followed these steps:
1.  Created Templates in the "templates" folder named after the layer 
and with the appropriate fields in square brackets [].
2.  put a statement in the MAP file at the end of the layer block that

refer to the html file in step 1 like so ...
TEMPLATE "templates/anti_bnd.html"

Are there other steps that I need to follow.  If so I must have done 
them in the first case but forgot about them in the 2nd case.  Any help

on this is appreciated.

Mark -

The WMS specification requires that a request SRS be specified by "id"
rather than described parametrically.  If you are in control of both the
client and server systems, you can simply edit your EPSG file to create
your own private ID and definition for your projection.  The spec
requires that your SRS belong to either the EPSG, NONE or AUTO classes,
so you can't create a new SRS type - you'll just want to create your own
"EPSG" entry.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Can I reproject WMS service using cgi
parameters?

Hi all,
I am struggling trying to get a local WMS mapservice (local one with
data in EPSG:4326) to be reprojected on the fly into a projection for
which no EPSG code exists (Winkel Triple). But I am not sure whether
this is possible (since there is not EPSG code for Winkel Triple I
cannot add a WMS_SRS in the layer properties).

What I am trying to do is add onto the url for the map request:
 
"proj=wintri&ellps=WGS84&lat_1=50&units=meters&BBox=-16000000,-10000000,
16000000,10000000"
The result is the map in EPSG:4326 projection though zoomed out greatly.

After changing the bounding box to -180,-90,180,90 I get my 'normal' 
lat/lon map though not in the projection I wish.

Could someonelet me know if what I am trying is possible at all? Thanks
ahead!

cheers,
Mark

Hi,

I think WMS spec gives a chance to define SRS by public URL of file with 
definition of SRS. I don't know if MapServer supports this.

It does, specify SRS=EPSG:4326 (or whatever SRS you like) in the URL and
make sure the EPSG code is advertised in the map file's METADATA section
under the "wms_srs" entry.

Hi!

Is it possible to label objects (in mapfile) from a shape-file, by using
only part of an attribute, or may be manipulate the attribute?

E.g:
- Only the first two letters of av word
- Round numbers (as labeling a numberfield with decimals in a dbf-file,
would force decimals even if the current attribute has decimals or not)


Thanks

Subject: Mapscript 4.10/Oracle Spatial : GetShape and drawQuery problems
Message-ID: <THU.18.JAN.2007.095154.0100.AUDE.ALLAIN.EXTMAPPY.COM>

 

Hello, 

 

Since I have installed the ms4w package, version 2.2.1, to have a
compiled mapscript dll which supports oracle spatial, I have some
problems with class methods. 

 

I use:

-          ms4w : php/mapscript_4.10.dll, php 5.2, Apache 2.2

-          Oracle Database 9.2

-          Oracle Client 10g

 

1. GetFeature

 

I have posted a message, without response to date, about the getFeature
function. When I use it, I get the following error : Fatal error: Call
to undefined function getFeature(). I use it because getShape() is
deprecated. And if I get shapeObj with getShape function I always get a
null object. 

 

My code : 

            

                        $layer              = $map->GetLayerByName
($tab_layers[$i]);  

                        $selectedObj   = @$layer->queryByPoint($geoClic,
MS_MULTIPLE, 1); 

                        $nbSelectedObj          =
$layer->getNumResults();

                                                

                        if ($nbSelectedObj == 0)

                        {

                                    continue ;

                        }

            

                        $layer->open();

                        $tabAttName = $layer->getItems();

                        $nbAttL                     =
count($tabAttName);

                        

                        for ( $j=0 ; $j<$nbSelectedObj ; $j++) 

                        {          

                                   $object            =
$layer->getResult ($j);

                                   if ( $object  == null ) echo
"<br>objet NULL ";

 

                                   //$shapeObj     =
$layer->getFeature($object->shapeindex);

 
$layer->getShape($object->tileindex,$object->shapeindex);

 

                        ...  

 

In each class of my mapfile, there is the line TEMPLATE
"ttt_query.html".

 

 

 

2. queryByAttributes 

 

I call this function to get the object which has the 'ID' field and has
the value '10400300001265'

$res = $layer->queryByAttributes'ID', 'ID=10400300001265', MS_MULTIPLE);

 

This call works, it permits to select the object in the layer because
$layer->getNumResults() return 1.

 

Then, I want to display the result so I execute the DrawQuery function
on my map Object. And the returned imageObj is always null.

 

Could you help me ? 

 

 

 

 

 

Aude

Hi to all!

I have a php app that display a list with some rasters; the user select on of them and then submit the form to show it.
Using mapscript, I can add the layer section to the mapfile used as template, but i can't found a way to set the EXTENT.

Is there any way for doing this?

Thanks for your answer!

The matter is that i am trying to found have to set $minx.$miny,$maxx,$maxy reading the 
raster. I think that the only solution is to use gdalinfo and parse the output, but i don't
know if this it's ok inside a php script.

What do you think about?

Okay, I did not get that from your first e-mail. 

A LayerObj has a getExtent method which you can try.

Subject: problem with WMS TIME support and PostGIS
Message-ID: <THU.18.JAN.2007.130640.0100.B.CANESSAIOL.IT>

Hi all,

I have a problem with WMS with TIME support and Postgis.
Inilially I created a map file where layers access direct to files, and 
it works fine. I mean, the web service is able to  process the TIME 
parameter:

LAYER
    NAME "Anomalie"
    GROUP "Anomalie"
    TYPE RASTER
    STATUS ON
    METADATA
      "queryable" "true"
      "tile_source" "nocache"
      "wms_title" "Anomalie"
      "wms_timeextent" "2006-05-01/2006-10-31"
      "wms_timeitem" "datetime"
      "wms_timedefault" "2006-05-10"
      "wms_srs" "EPSG:4326"
    END
    TILEINDEX "epluie_a_idx.shp"
    TILEITEM "Location"
    CLASSITEM "[pixel]"
      CLASS
        (......)
      END
  END

On the contrary, if I try to access through Postgis it seems that the 
TIME parameter is not recognised, it always shows the last image of the

I tried to perform queries in PostgreSQL such as
SELECT * FROM tileindex_table WHERE date_trunc('day', datetime) =

and it works fine.

I use mapserver 4.8.4, PostgreSQL 8.1.4 and  PostGIS 1.1.3

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

No, I believe your best bet is to write a script that adds a new column 
to the shapefile and populates it with the value that you want to use 
for labeling.

You can join multiple fields together, but I don't think you can take a 
substring of a field.

You can write the script in mapscript. I don't have any examples handy, 
but you should be able to pull some from the list archive or ask the list.

Hi, 

Did you try layer's getExtent?

-- from phpmapscript documentation

rectObj getExtent()
        Returns the layer's data extents. 
        If the layer's EXTENT member is set then this value is used, 
        otherwise this call opens/closes the layer to read the 
        extents. This is quick on shapefiles, but can be
        an expensive operation on some file formats or data sources.
        This function is safe to use on both opened or closed layers: it
        is not necessary to call open()/close() before/after calling it.

You'll need to upgrade to MapServer 4.10 for PostGIS + WMST.

Tomas -

I have never heard of this and cannot find a reference to it in the WMS
1.1.1 spec at http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms, nor in the new
1.3 spec (not supported by MapServer).  The WMS spec does not say anything
about the internal details of an SRS definition, so there would be no way to
know what to find inside a URL-based reference to a file defining an SRS.

It is very difficult to compare SRS definitions when described
parametrically; there are several ways of saying the same thing, and it?s
hard to tell whether minor differences are supposed to be differences or
just discrepancies.  That?s why the use of SRS catalogs is so helpful ? the
model of namespace:srsname makes it easy to tell whether a requested SRS is
something you can understand or not.

Hi,
it is misunderstanding, I mean this style of SRS parameter value:
"http://my.server.com/path_to_file_with_mySRS_definition"
<http://my.server.com/path_to_file_with_mySRS_definition>

Subject: WMS tiles & artifacts
Message-ID: <THU.18.JAN.2007.122034.0700.DPS1UALBERTA.CA>

Hello folks,

 

I have been trying to marry MapServer with Google Map with 90% success to
overlay lots of "markers", but when a point generated from a layer in the
mapfile touches the edge of a tile, there's an artifact in the shape of a
horizontal black line. I have seen this before in other implementations &
this artifact is usually the same color as that expressed in CLASS COLOR for
the relevant layer. This artifact doesn't appear in a native MapServer app
using a template so I'm not sure what's going on here. Example:
http://tinyurl.com/37loz7. I have tried playing with the transparency among
other options but to no avail. I also notice that "markers" touching the
vertical sides of a generated tile are often cut-off & don't spill over into
the adjacent tile as they should, but there's no black line. For reference,
this is an OGR connection and the mapfile as I write this is below:

Looks like a manifestation of bug #1861 (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1861)
except it bleeds to the right, not left like my example. I can see your map has negative X;
maybe it bleeds towards the zero meridian? Anyway, I never got around to uploading the
data for my bug report - perhaps you can add something useful?
 
best regards,
Kristian

Subject: MapScript C# Memory Corruption Problem (MapServer 4.10)
Message-ID: <THU.18.JAN.2007.172849.0700.LJFONGSDF.LONESTAR.ORG>

Hi,

I recently tried building MapServer 4.10 from the build kit
(mapserver-buildkit-011607.zip) using MS Visual Studio 2005 SP1. The build was
successful but during regular operation, there would be memory corruption that
happened sporadically (randomly when calling draw() function of mapObj). The
message was:

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that
other memory is corrupt.

The following DLLs were produced and used:
- bgd.dll (from separately downloaded gdwin32 package)
- libmap.dll (with manifest attached through 'mt')
- mapscript.dll (with manifest attached through 'mt')
- mapscript_csharp.dll

This problem did not happen with MapServer 4.8.4 buildkit
(mapserver-4.8.3-msvc71-build-kit.zip) built using MS Visual Studio 2003. The
4.8.4 binaries had been running in .NET 2.0 environment without any problem.

I can use any suggestion/help here.

Thanks.

Surya

Hi Aude,
    Sorry for the delay to reply your message. I'm out from the lab
and can't test here, I will go back to the lab just after the day 24
of January.
    About the error, the map (just draw from database) is working?
Another query function is working?
    I didn't found any reference to a GetFeature function the the
PHPMapscript reference
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/phpmapscript-class/referencemanual-all-pages),
maybe the best way is the GetShape. Did you already tried with -1 as
tileindex parameter for getshape? 
    About the question #2, the object did you selected is inside of
the actual extent of the map when you draw the map?
    Another thing that can be relate with the both problem is the size
of your ID column, can you try with a type that is small than 14
digits, like 5 digits? Some problems was reported between the size of
some columns and the shapeindex (the place where the UNIQUE will be
stored). Can you try with a column with less digits?
    When I go back to the lab I will test, I can't test here and look
more deep in the maporaclespatial code.
    Best regards from Brazil.

This looks like a duplicate of bug #1719 to me
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1719)

I included all the data necessary to reproduce the problem there.  It is
closed and marked as wontfix - because it's a problem with GD instead of
MapServer.

If you want to use a tiled map interface and get around these tile edge
artifacts, you can choose from two existing solutions.

Ka-Map gets around this problem by trimming off the edge of metatiles
(http://ka-map.maptools.org/).

Or you can use OpenLayers (which can overlay other layers on top of Google
tiles) and grab the code from my "gutters" sandbox.  A working example that
trims tile "gutters" is here:
http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/tschaub/gutter/examples/gutter.html

(This handles more tile edge artifacts than just the bleeding filled symbol
problem.)

Hi All

Are you sure that the correct versions of the dll-s are loaded?

Try adding the following to your mapfile. You may have to tweak the

One more thing if you want to draw the objects but not label them then 
add the STYLE sections to the new CLASS but don't add the LABEL sections.

Subject: Mapscript and changes in the mapfile
Message-ID: <FRI.19.JAN.2007.170830.0100.LUCA.CASAGRANDEGMAIL.COM>

Hi to all!

I use mapscript just to add a certain layer in a mapfile.
Those are the lines:

        $layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
        $layer->set('name', "voronoi");
        $layer->set('status', MS_DEFAULT );
        $layer->set('connection', $output[0]);
        $layer->set('type', MS_LAYER_POLYGON);
        $layer->set('transparency',"64");
        $layer->set('connectiontype',MS_OGR);
        $class = ms_newClassObj($layer);
        $style = ms_newStyleObj($class);
        $style=$class->getStyle(0);
        $style->color->setRGB(102,228,73);
        $style->outlinecolor->setRGB(0,0,0);

If i save the modified mapfile, all seem fine except that i see those lines
in my web section:

[..]
    QUERYFORMAT text/html
    LEGENDFORMAT text/html
    BROWSEFORMAT text/html
[..]

They weren't in the original mapfile and if i don't comment them,
shp2img stops with this error:

loadWeb(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (LEGENDFORMAT):(line
112) <br>

Thanks for your help

 problems
Message-ID: <FRI.19.JAN.2007.173037.0100.AUDE.ALLAIN.EXTMAPPY.COM>

Hello, 

GetFeature/GetShape :
--------------------

I found the GetFeature function on this page : http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript/index_html. 


The tileindex of the objects are always equal at -1. So, when I call GetShape, the tileindex is always -1. 


queryByAttributes/DrawQuery:
----------------------------

I don't understand when you say "the object did you selected is inside of
the actual extent of the map when you draw the map?" . 

For me, the extent of the map which is displayed on the page has no link with my query. I just get the ID of the object to select in a text box, then I create a new mapobject, on which I execute the queryByAttributes function with the ID. Then, if I execute the drawquery function, the map extent must be automatically recalculated.

I tried to select the objects with an other field which contains 1 digit. I get the same result : the Image map is null but I have the selected objects the layer ($layer->getNumResults()). 

If I use draw instead of drawquery, the image map is not null but all the geomteries are yellow, it's the HILITE color defined in the mapfile. It's strange, isn't it ?

But if I can't use fields with less than 14 digits because soon I will have ID of 17 digits... 

Thanks of your help, 

aude

Hi Aude,
    Sorry for the delay to reply your message. I'm out from the lab
and can't test here, I will go back to the lab just after the day 24
of January.
    About the error, the map (just draw from database) is working?
Another query function is working?
    I didn't found any reference to a GetFeature function the the
PHPMapscript reference
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/phpmapscript-class/referencemanual-all-pages),
maybe the best way is the GetShape. Did you already tried with -1 as
tileindex parameter for getshape? 
    About the question #2, the object did you selected is inside of
the actual extent of the map when you draw the map?
    Another thing that can be relate with the both problem is the size
of your ID column, can you try with a type that is small than 14
digits, like 5 digits? Some problems was reported between the size of
some columns and the shapeindex (the place where the UNIQUE will be
stored). Can you try with a column with less digits?
    When I go back to the lab I will test, I can't test here and look
more deep in the maporaclespatial code.
    Best regards from Brazil.

Is it possible there is a version mis-match between mapscript and
shp2img? Perhaps shp2img is old?

Steve,

to be more especific, i'm using javascript to do queries. so i'm trying to
convert on variables some mapserver parameters to build the map based on the
query.
so far i have these:

    var layer = document.pesquisa.layersList.value; //html comboBox to
select layer
    var item = document.pesquisa.busca.value; //html input value
    var operador = document.pesquisa.operadores.value; //another comboBox
for operators

and now the big problem. the next variable is based on html inputs i
generate through $gpoMap->extent->minx, for example. but it will return the
last map extension, not the one based on the query.

    var minx = "minx=" + window.opener.document.myform.var_minx.value + "&";

so, what i want is how to know the extension (minx, miny...) from the query.
how to know the extension the query will return before the user submit?


thanks

we're using mod_php with the php mapscript bindings.  initially we had

now, when httpd crashes it crashes big: no error messages or anything and no
response from server whatsoever.  considering mod_php is a persistant
environment i'd assume this is memory corruption/lack of resource cleanup.
are there any obivous things i might try to force clean-up and/or
re-initialize the mapscript library on each request?  any other suggestions?

btw.  running the above cgi via mod_php succeeds only about 70% of the time.
running if from the command-line (forcing weblike environment) works 100% of
the time.  i'm in the process of testing normal cgi mode.

Hello list,
I have produced a WMS with MapServer.
If I send the GetCapabilites-Request I get in the response
for example that line:

<UserDefinedSymbolization SupportSLD="1" UserLayer="0" UserStyle="1"
RemoteWFS="0"/>

What does UserLayer, UserStyle and RemoteWFS stand for?
I don`t find anything about that in the WMS Implementation Specification.
Does anybody know?
Thank you very much.

Here's a snippet of what these mean.   This info is not in the OGC:WMS

Subject: [dbox] problem in dbox resizing
Message-ID: <FRI.19.JAN.2007.174500.0600.MHWANG4UIUC.EDU>

Hello, list!

I'm trying to make dbox resizable.
For that, I assigned ids to several components which should have  
fixed sizes,
then I added a function for recalculating and assigning the dbox size:

   function adjustMapsize() {
   	// test just width adjustment
   	var leftcol_table = document.getElementById("leftcol_table");
   	var tools_table = document.getElementById("tools_table");
   	var move_button = document.getElementById("move_button");
   	var scale_table = document.getElementById("scale_table");
   	var coords_div = document.getElementById("coords_div");
   	var measure_div = document.getElementById("measure_div");
   	var measure_toggle = document.getElementById("measure_toggle");
   	
   	var new_width = document.body.offsetWidth -  
(leftcol_table.offsetWidth + tools_table.offsetWidth +  
move_button.offsetWidth*2);
   	var new_height = document.body.offsetHeight -  
(scale_table.offsetHeight + move_button.offsetHeight*3 +  
coords_div.offsetHeight + measure_div.offsetHeight + 			 
measure_toggle.offsetHeight + document.getElementById 
("ms_url").offsetHeight);
   	var anchor = document.getElementById("main");
   	main.width = anchor.width = new_width;
   	main.height = anchor.height = new_height;
   	main.anchor = xGetElementById("main");
   	ms.width = new_width;
   	ms.height = new_height;
   }

Then, I added this function to onload and onresize event of window:

   window.onresize = function() {

   	// resize map image
   	adjustMapsize();
   	xResizeTo(main.container, main.width, main.height);
   	main.sync();
   	xResizeTo(main.image, main.width, main.height);
   	xMoveTo(main.image, 0, 0);
   	xShow(main.image);
   	xResizeTo(main.canvas, main.width, main.height);
   	xMoveTo(main.canvas, 0, 0);
     xClip(main.canvas, 0, main.width, main.height, 0);
     xShow(main.canvas);
   	ms.draw();
   	
     reference.sync();
     container.sync();
   }

   window.onload = function() {
   	
   	// resize map image
   	adjustMapsize();

     main.initialize();
     reference.initialize();
     container.initialize();

     domouseclick('zoomin');

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

My problem is that this solution works when I try to reduce the size  
of window,
but whenever I tried to increase the window size
the size of something on the top of dbox (which consists of  
container, image, canvas, and something else) does not change,
so I get white extra space on the right and bottom side of dbox.
How can I solve this problem?
Maybe someone already asked this problem, if so please let me know  
which post I should check.
I hope my explanation of the problem will be understood well.

Hello all,

I'm having trouble getting a raster to draw correctly. I've worked with

Hello list,
I work a bit with different GetMap-Requests.

For example I try out:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_world?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&Request=GetMap&Layers=WorldGen_Outline&

....and I get a map without any problems.

What I don`t understand:
In the WMS Implementation Specification (page 33)
it is written, that for example parameters like width, height, format,
bounding_box, srs are required (and not optional).

In my GetMap-Request I have not set them.
Why do I anymay get a map?

Best Regards, Kai

Hi Tamas,

I have created a skeleton application that can show the map and the user can
"refresh", "zoom in", or "zoom out" on the map. The map draws without problem
on "refresh", but it will crash with either the memory corruption message or
the SDE connection exception randomly. Typically the crash occurs after the
3rd or 4th call to zoomPoint() followed by draw() subroutine. The SDE
connection exception is:

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'District';
msSDELayerOpen(): SDE error. SE_Version_get_info(): Bad connection handle.
(-92)

All the layers in the map file are SDE layers accessed using ArcSDE 9.1
libraries.

I am sure that the correct versions of the dlls are loaded as the problem
disappears after I switch back to the old 4.8.4 dlls. I also verified the
dependencies using dependency walker to show the paths.

As for the call stack, this is what I got after the protected memory error:

[AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.]
   System.Diagnostics.StackTrace.GetStackFramesInternal(StackFrameHelper sfh, Int32 iSkip, Exception e) +0
   System.Diagnostics.StackTrace.CaptureStackTrace(Int32 iSkip, Boolean fNeedFileInfo, Thread targetThread, Exception e) +49
   System.Diagnostics.StackTrace..ctor(Exception e, Boolean fNeedFileInfo) +32
   System.Web.UnhandledErrorFormatter.get_ColoredSquare2Content() +579
   System.Web.UnhandledErrorFormatter.PrepareFormatter() +42
   System.Web.ErrorFormatter.GetHtmlErrorMessage(Boolean dontShowSensitiveInfo) +51
   System.Web.HttpResponse.WriteErrorMessage(Exception e, Boolean dontShowSensitiveErrors) +787
   System.Web.HttpResponse.ReportRuntimeError(Exception e, Boolean canThrow, Boolean localExecute) +478
   System.Web.HttpRuntime.FinishRequest(HttpWorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context, Exception e) +541


I am sending testpage.aspx, testpage.aspx.vb for the sample app and Odessa.map
for the mapfile I used directly to your email account.

Thanks.

Ian -
 
Can you post the entire MAP file, not just that layer, and the URL you
use to generate the map?  The extent of the requested map, specified by
either the EXTENT in the MAP file or on the URL, needs to overlap the
extent of your layer.  We can see what the extents of the layer are, but
you haven't told us the extents of the requested map.

Howard,

I can't disclose the below mentioned product.  A few months ago I was told
that we were going to use this product for rapid display of Raster mosaic
imagery, and I started to look for alternatives when I did not get customer
support in a timely fashion.  I asked the  Community Mapbuilder's developers
list for alternatives and MapServer was one of the possibilities suggested.
In my testing of MapServer so far I have been very impressed with it's
flexibility and performance, but the memory leak issue is the only thing
that concerns me at this point.  I have not been able to replicate the
memory leak problem, but I wanted to know if any other users have
experienced this problem, and if their is a plan to fix this problem.  I use
open source for all my other applications so it makes sense to stick with
MapServer.

Why they are not willing to contribute their fixes back to the software?  I
don't know other than to speculate that they want to be able to justify
their high price by their software's uniqueness.

John -
 
Well, that's OK, but it is not reasonable for the MapServer community to
devote time to an alleged bug that the finder won't report and you can't
replicate.  That's not a bug, that's FUD.
 
I can report that I use MapServer in FastCGI mode extensively without
any memory leak problems I'm aware of.  And I have done that over a few
releases of MapServer.  But like any MapServer user, there are many
features I do *not* use, and it's certainly possible that there are
memory leaks in those features.  But making the overly-broad
generalization that "running it in FastCGI mode will eventually cause
issues" is incorrect and uninformative.

Howard,

I can't disclose the below mentioned product.  A few months ago I was
told that we were going to use this product for rapid display of Raster
mosaic imagery, and I started to look for alternatives when I did not
get customer support in a timely fashion.  I asked the  Community
Mapbuilder's developers list for alternatives and MapServer was one of
the possibilities suggested.  In my testing of MapServer so far I have
been very impressed with it's flexibility and performance, but the
memory leak issue is the only thing that concerns me at this point.  I
have not been able to replicate the memory leak problem, but I wanted to
know if any other users have experienced this problem, and if their is a
plan to fix this problem.  I use open source for all my other
applications so it makes sense to stick with MapServer. 

Why they are not willing to contribute their fixes back to the software?
I don't know other than to speculate that they want to be able to
justify their high price by their software's uniqueness.

John,

A reasonable effort has been made to avoid memory leaks in MapServer.  For
instance, I frequently run simple mapserver scenarios under valgrind which
identifies all memory leaks in a run and for the largest part I can run
such things now with no memory leaks, or only a "fixed" memory leak in
a subcomponent (like libcurl).

So I don't doubt there are still circumstances where mapserver has memory
leaks, especially in some of the more esoteric features, but those can be
corrected if they are properly reported and isolated.

Best regards,

That's because MapServer is not very strict on requiring those 
parameters and when they are not specified then it uses some default 
values from the mapfile. If you are implementing a client then you 
should not rely on those default values and should always provide all 
the 'required' parameters.

Message-ID: <SAT.20.JAN.2007.201638.0100.SZEKERESTGMAIL.COM>

Hi Hong,

I've looked into the code, but I've no option to set up an SDE test
environmment to test it though.
I consider the SDE driver is thread unsafe even if the USE_THEAD
switch was definied during the compilation.
Therefore I would discourage to retain the mapObj reference between
the subsequent requests, especially when there are existing open
connections to the database. The subsequent requests might be handled
by different threads with the ASP.NET applications.


Here are my further questions you should check before proceeding with the issue:

1. Make sure mapserver was compiled with USE_THEAD enabled. (Use
mapserv -v to check)
2. Try not to keep the mapscript objects between the requests.
Instead, you should reload the map object every time and set the
required properties one by one.
3. It would be desirable if the mapscript/mapserver related dll-s was
using the same CRT library. You should use a suitable utility (like
the Visual Studio Depends tool) to check the CRT dependency of the
libraries. Heap corruption may arise when memory segments are passed
between libraries using different CRT heaps.
4. For the ASP.NET + VS80 builds the manifest containing the CRT
dependency should always be embedded as a resource into mapscript.dll
as described at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/mapscriptcscompile.

Tamas

Ian,

By default MapServer will just cast the pixel values to a byte value
between 0 and 255.  It looks like the largest value in your file is 5.07
which would convert to 5 which is still essentially black.

I think you need to apply scaling or classification.  I'd suggest reading
the raster access howto  for details, but briefly adding the following line
to your layer should allow you to visualize things.

   PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO"

I have a similar problem,  my SDE connection works fine and mapserver renders
layers ok, but after some time it consistently times-out or something.  The
error I get is as follows:

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named
'tdmryn_oparea'.;msSDELayerOpen(): SDE error. SE_version_get_info(): Network
I/O error. (-10)

I restart IIS and everything is fine again.  Any help would be appreciated.

I have a  more precise Error message now:
"msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'DKM'. 
msSDELayerOpen(): SDE error. SE_connection_create(): Operation Failed.
(-1)

Subject: Building External Overviews
Message-ID: <SUN.21.JAN.2007.155021.0500.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I would like to build a pyramid of external overviews:
Which is stacks of layers going from many files at the high resolution to
smaller numbers of files as the resolution gets smaller(lower scale/higher
actual scale number).  The map file needs to have these layers
appear/disappear in a mutually exclusive fashion depending on the
resolution.  So only one appears at any one time.

Is their a formula for pyramiding as far as how the levels are spaced out,
how many levels are implemented, and at what scale levels are turn on and
off?
Also at a certain resolution/scale what is the maximum number of files that
should be opened?

As an example: If you have raster data that totals 100 GB and your limit per
file is 100 MB/file
which equals 1000 files at the resolution of the source data.  Say the
limits are:
1.) 50 files open at once; Build external overviews at lower scales(higher
actual number) to avoid having to open a large number of geotiff files.
2.) 100 MB/file
3.) Each overview level is 50% (x) and 50% (y) of the previous higher
resolution overview.  I believe that if resolution is reduced 50% by 50%,
then can increase each footprint size by double for (x) and (y) dimension in
order to keep the same file size.

Then would adjust resolution to keep at 100 MB/file and adjust maximum zoom
layer(higher number means smaller scale), so that no more than 50 files are
open at any one time.
Take advantage of the group feature so that multiple layers can appear as
one virtual layer.

Here is how I think it could be implemented:
Start at the highest resolution and make the scale small enough to include
50 files, and then set the maximum scale(note this means higher scale
number) for this layer at this scale.  Create a new layer that is at lower
resolution and a larger footprint per file such that at this scale
only 12.5files display at 100 MB/file and set the minimum scale at the
same value as
the previous layers maximum scale.  Continue adding lower resolution layers
as the scale gets smaller and smaller until you get to the initial display
scale.

How could you derive the scale to turn on the next lower resolution level
that would fit the (3) limits listed above?

Thanks,
--

1.  remember to have the correct libmap.dll (from the shared/sde directory)
in the cgi-bin directory
2.  ensure that you have the ArcSDE C API Dll's loaded on the mapserver
machine
3.  run your mapfile with DEBUG=ON
4.  check you have the necessary permissions set for your connecting user to
the ArcSDE layers
5.  connection strings we use successfully are:
        CONNECTION "servername,port:portnum,database,username,password"
        CONNECTIONTYPE SDE
        DATA "schema.sdelayername,SHAPE,SDE.DEFAULT"

I'd suggest gettign a mapfile with a shape file as a base (so you know you
are in the correct area) and a single SDE layer to display over the top.

Also check the MapServer log file as this can tell you the errors (whether
permissions, server etc)

What is the message with (-1) ?

Subject: AJAX-msCross with PHP Template
Message-ID: <MON.22.JAN.2007.120348.0100.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

Hi there,

I really like the small msCross app for AJAX-map-dragging ( http:// 
datacrossing.crs4.it/en_Documentation_mscross.html )...

But I am not quite sure how to implement the code when using a PHP  
template.

Has anyone experience in this and could share it?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi there,

I really like the small msCross app for AJAX-map-dragging ( http:// 
datacrossing.crs4.it/en_Documentation_mscross.html )...

But I am not quite sure how to implement the code when using a PHP  
template. I am using PHP Mapscript.

I was told the following using Mapscript instead of CGI:

    myMap.setCgi( '/your_url/your_script.php' );

    You make your_script.php with same inputs (mode, map, mapext,  
mapsize,
    layers) and same output (map image) of Mapserver CGI.
    msCross will does the rest.


But still no idea how this would work with a PHP template. Has anyone  
experience in this and could share it?

Thanks for any advice!

You don't use templates with msCross as you were used to with mapserver.
msCross does  the job of connecting with mapserver and generating the
map on the background as you should, if you were using AJX.

I hope it helps.

Hi everyone,

We are trying to reproject a layer that comes from a local WMS with 
mapserver.

The WMS can only be queried using EPSG:23031 and we want the output to 
be in EPSG:4326.

We have tried using the following with no success, any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Message-ID: <MON.22.JAN.2007.165240.0100.AUDE.ALLAIN.EXTMAPPY.COM>

Hello, 

 

I'm trying to display labels on my map, but I get the following error :
: msGetLabelSize(): Could not find/open font. 

 

I defined a FONTSET FILE in the mapfile which contains font paths :
FONTSET   "../font/fontset.txt"

 

Content of fontset.txt : 

 

Arial (TrueType) C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ARIAL.TTF

 

And, the layer on which I want to see the labels is defined in the
mapfile : 

 

LAYER 

            NAME         " A0"

              CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial

                COLOR        255 216 176

                OUTLINECOLOR 32 32 32

                TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"

                LABEL

                         MINFEATURESIZE 1

                        MINDISTANCE 1

                        POSITION CC

                        TYPE TRUETYPE

                        FONT "Arial"

                        SIZE 12

                       ANTIALIAS TRUE

                        OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255

                END

            END

            

END # A0

 

 

The font named 'Arial' is in c:/Windows/font. 

 

On the Web, it is said to check the Apache user or mapserver has
permission to access the font file and the ttf files. But I don't know
how to do that. 

 

Could you hep me ? 

 

I use : 

-          windows xp

-          ms4w : php/mapscript 4.10, apache 2, php5.2

-          Oracle spatial 10g

Hi,

1. Try to remove (TrueType) from your font set file.
2. Use slash instead of backslash in the path in the font set file even on 
   Windows

for example
Arial C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF

Bye,
Zoltan

Hi there: This is something I've been meaning to address. Let me take a
look with your code and
try and work up a simple test case on the DNR website. Might take a few
days though, I have an
offsite meeting (unfourtunately)...

Hello, list!

I'm trying to make dbox resizable.
For that, I assigned ids to several components which should have  
fixed sizes,
then I added a function for recalculating and assigning the dbox size:

   function adjustMapsize() {
   	// test just width adjustment
   	var leftcol_table = document.getElementById("leftcol_table");
   	var tools_table = document.getElementById("tools_table");
   	var move_button = document.getElementById("move_button");
   	var scale_table = document.getElementById("scale_table");
   	var coords_div = document.getElementById("coords_div");
   	var measure_div = document.getElementById("measure_div");
   	var measure_toggle = document.getElementById("measure_toggle");
   	
   	var new_width = document.body.offsetWidth -  
(leftcol_table.offsetWidth + tools_table.offsetWidth +  
move_button.offsetWidth*2);
   	var new_height = document.body.offsetHeight -  
(scale_table.offsetHeight + move_button.offsetHeight*3 +  
coords_div.offsetHeight + measure_div.offsetHeight + 			

measure_toggle.offsetHeight + document.getElementById 
("ms_url").offsetHeight);
   	var anchor = document.getElementById("main");
   	main.width = anchor.width = new_width;
   	main.height = anchor.height = new_height;
   	main.anchor = xGetElementById("main");
   	ms.width = new_width;
   	ms.height = new_height;
   }

Then, I added this function to onload and onresize event of window:

   window.onresize = function() {

   	// resize map image
   	adjustMapsize();
   	xResizeTo(main.container, main.width, main.height);
   	main.sync();
   	xResizeTo(main.image, main.width, main.height);
   	xMoveTo(main.image, 0, 0);
   	xShow(main.image);
   	xResizeTo(main.canvas, main.width, main.height);
   	xMoveTo(main.canvas, 0, 0);
     xClip(main.canvas, 0, main.width, main.height, 0);
     xShow(main.canvas);
   	ms.draw();
   	
     reference.sync();
     container.sync();
   }

   window.onload = function() {
   	
   	// resize map image
   	adjustMapsize();

     main.initialize();
     reference.initialize();
     container.initialize();

     domouseclick('zoomin');

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

My problem is that this solution works when I try to reduce the size  
of window,
but whenever I tried to increase the window size
the size of something on the top of dbox (which consists of  
container, image, canvas, and something else) does not change,
so I get white extra space on the right and bottom side of dbox.
How can I solve this problem?
Maybe someone already asked this problem, if so please let me know  
which post I should check.
I hope my explanation of the problem will be understood well.

USE_THREAD is enabled.

MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=POINT_Z_M INPUT=SDE INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

Now instead of using the mapObj stored in the session, I perform a clone()
on the mapObj from the session, and use the clone to perform draw(). So far, I
have not seen any crash after doing this. The only problem I observed was that
the symbol transparencies was messed up after subsequent clone + draw. Maybe
the clone is not perfect, I'm not sure.

However, I would still like your opinion on this approach.

I have verified them to be using the same CRT library using Visual Studio
dependency tool. They are all using c:\windows\system32\MSVCRT.DLL.

These were what I did on the DLLs and EXEs:

mt /manifest mapscript.dll.manifest /outputresource:mapscript.dll
mt /manifest libmap.dll.manifest /outputresource:libmap.dll
mt /manifest mapserv.exe manifest /outputresource:mapserv.exe 

mapserv.exe had c++ runtime loading problem before the manifest was embedded
into it. 

Thanks.

Subject: php mapscript draw() error
Message-ID: <MON.22.JAN.2007.203257.0000.TECHIEOMLET.CO.UK>

Hi,

I am just starting out with php mapscript but can't work out what errors 
are causing my maps not to draw().  I started out with simple maps work 
just fine. However, the more complex map data that I purchase don't 
appear to work. These map files renders fine with a normal mapserv.cgi - 
but fails silently at the draw() stage of php mapscript.

This is the simple set of commands that I am using:

    // Create a map object
    $map_object=ms_newMapObj($map_path.$map_filename);

    // Render the map into an image object
    $map_img=$map_object->draw();

    // Save the map to an image file
    $map_img->saveImage($img_path.$img_filename);

The program fails are draw() - but there is no debug output. Can anyone 
tell me how to start debugging this?

Thanks,

James

you should start here:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/map

Look for parameter DEBUG, that allows you to turn debugging on. Be
aware of permissions. Your mapserv cgi should be allowed to write to
the path that you have to set for it.

hope it helps

That seems strange. You should describe the problem in more detail and
reopen the following bug then:

Please attach the corresponding mapfile, the symbol definition file
and the symbol image to this bug.

I'm using windows, ms4w2.2.1, and c# mapscript.  Can't show you but I can 
try to explain.  

Everything is great when i call map.draw, but when I have a selected feature, 
therefore calling map.drawquery, the raster stops rendering with the scale and 
becomes a stagnet image inbehind the vector data.  No matter what you do 
(zoom in, zoom out, pan) that raster stays in the position and extent it was at 
when you performed your selection.  The raster begins the render properly 
once I clear my feature selection, and therefore start calling map.draw again 
instead of map.drawquery.

The only thing to note is that I define my raster with a projection because it 
differes with the vector data.

Any Ideas?
Thanks
DaviD

Hi, 

These solutions don't work. I have always the same error. 

Do you know what is the problem ?

Hi,

1. Try to remove (TrueType) from your font set file.
2. Use slash instead of backslash in the path in the font set file even on 
   Windows

for example
Arial C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF

Message-ID: <MON.22.JAN.2007.103549.0100.DEJAN.GAMBINPULA.HR>

Hi,

I have several line shape files showing the borders of different types.
I am wondering if it is better to merge them using ogr2ogr and tehn
classifying them in map file, or use all the files as layers? 

Does anybody know the difference in speed/performance? 

By the way, I have one more question related to performance. Is it
better to place all symbol definitions in symbol file or define them
directly in map file?

thanks very much

regards, dejan

Hi,

More tipps ...
Does your mapserver distribution support freetype?
Try
 mapserv -v
at the command promt. You should see ... SUPPORTS=FREETYPE ...
Do you have the arial.ttf file in the c:\windows\fonts folder?
The font set file path should be given relativ to the map file or 
absolute. Check the relative path or replace with absolute path.

Hi
Has anyone built a site with MapBuilder  on top of MapServer.

I see a lot of GeoServer and MapBuilder combos

I experimented with Community Mapbuilder a bit, though I don't have any
public sites to show off. I found it to be a very attractive interface,
easily configurable, and plentiful of example maps to get you started. It
has a multi-layer slippy-map interface, giving a feel similar to
OpenLayers but with more power tools in the kit.

We've done so in a few of our projects.  The key here is that Mapbuilder
(as a standards-based client) can talk to any OGC:WMS server, for
example, and MapServer (as a standards-based server) can talk to any
OGC:WMS client.

I think one of the reasons why Mapbuilder is demo'd with GeoServer is to
illustrate Mapbuilder's WFS-T client functionality, which MapServer does
not support.

So keep in mind that Mapbuilder is connecting to a OGC:WMS, not
MapServer per se, etc.

I got copied on David's email, so I think it may be in reply to a bug
I posted a couple years ago. But I can't find it in bugzilla any more.
I'm going to be working with some similar imagery this week and I'll
see if the problem is still there.

Basically the bug was that in query modes, imagery that had to be
reprojected wasn't being reprojected correctly. It looked like it
might be a feet/meters issue, but it's been a while so I'm probably
forgetting something.

Hi Ben,
Finally I found time to think about this problem: how to
store the geographic coordinates of a mouse clik on the map image, and
thank to you I found a solution; I'm happy to share it.

I use
the php-mapscript '$map->cellsize' property to get the delta of a pixel
in projected coordinates, both in x and y.

A piece of code:
??????? 
/* $_REQUEST['mapimg_x'] and $_REQUEST['mapimg_y'] are the coordinates in pixel of the
<INPUT TYPE=IMAGE> of a form on my page that contains the image of
the map.
 I multiply the X & Y for the $oMap->cellsize to obtain
 the projected coordinates relatively to the current extent
of the image, and I sum the result to the $oMap->extent->minx, for the
X, and substract to $oMap->extent->miny for the Y,
to obtain the absolute coordinates. */
??? ??? $newPoint =
ms_newpointobj();
??? ???
$newPoint->setXY(($oMap->extent->minx +
($oMap->cellsize*$_REQUEST['mapimg_x'])),($oMap->extent->maxy -
($oMap->cellsize * $_REQUEST['mapimg_y'])));

/*???  I get two new
Projection objects, first is a lat/lon projection and second is projection
of the map.? */
 ??? ??? $olatlonProj =
ms_newprojectionobj("proj=latlong,ellps=WGS84");
??? ??? $osProj =
$oMap->getProjection();
??? ???
$omapProj = ms_newprojectionobj($osProj);

/* I project the point from the map
projection to the lat/lon projection */
 ??? ???
$newPoint->project($omapProj,$olatlonProj);

/* now I can store the point?
(in this case in a mysql db) */
 ??? ??? $myconn =
mysql_connect("host","usr","pw");
??? ???
mysql_select_db("db");
???
??? $sql = "INSERT INTO clickpoints (lon,lat) VALUES
(".$newPoint->x.",".$newPoint->y.")";
??? ??? $res = mysql_query($sql);
??? ??? mysql_close($myconn);

Limitedly to the accuracy due of the scale of the map,
result is good. I tried in lat/lon projection and also in Mercator,
Mollweide, Sanson-flamsteed, UTM, orthographic, geostationary satellite
... !

cheers

Richard,

Thats exactly whats happening, my map is projetced using

 PROJECTION
	"proj=utm"
	"zone=10"
	"ellps=GRS80"
	"datum=NAD83"
	"units=ft"
  END

but my raster has this projection

PROJECTION
             "proj=lcc"
	"ellps=GRS80"
	"datum=NAD83"
	"lon_0=-120.5"
	"lat_1=45.83333333333334"
	"lat_2=47.33333333333334"
	"lat_0=45.33333333333334"
	"x_0=500000"
	"y_0=0"
	"units=m"
	"no_defs"
END

Looks like the bug wasn't fixed.  Is there any kind of work around?

Thanks,
DaviD

Dejan -

This will depend on your data.  A good way to think about things is what you
would like the optimal situation to be.  The best possible case for a map
request would be for exactly one shapefile to be opened, and for every shape
in that file to be drawn on the map.  That way you are not opening multiple
files (relatively expensive) nor are you skipping over features you don't
need (not as expensive, but not free).

Selecting features based on classification is also not expensive, but not
free.  But it's cheaper than opening multiple files (I suppose that might
not be true if you had a LOT of features but very few types).

How many different files/types do you have, and how many features (total) do
you have?  Do you have a particularly slow disk system?

By the way, provided you're using spatial indexes for your shapefiles, any
shapefile reorganization is unlikely to make a lot of difference.  It's
worth tuning a bit, but except in unusual cases it's not likely to make
things twice as fast or slow.

     - Ed

I think that it is clear that the problem is that MapServer can't find the font file based on the name that you have specified in your layer.  This could result from many different errors:

1.  The font alias name in your layer cannot be found in your fonts.txt file.  Case sensitivity applies on 'nix boxes.  

2.  The relative path that you have specified at FONTSET in your MAP object does not point to the fonts.txt file that you have created.  Try using an absolute path to your fonts.txt file.  

3.  It could be a permissions problem.

4.  The absolute path to the font file as it is written in fonts.txt may not correctly point to the font file.  

5.  MapServer wasn't compiled with freetype support.  

To rule out an issue with MapScript, you could create a map image using mapserver cgi or shp2img.exe. 

David.

Hi,

1. Try to remove (TrueType) from your font set file.
2. Use slash instead of backslash in the path in the font set file even on 
   Windows

for example
Arial C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF

This is weird though since the output isn't munged with a normal browse
call, correct? Rasters are handled, or should be anyway, the exact
same
way for both "draws". Can a new bug be filed?

I got copied on David's email, so I think it may be in reply to a bug
I posted a couple years ago. But I can't find it in bugzilla any more.
I'm going to be working with some similar imagery this week and I'll
see if the problem is still there.

Basically the bug was that in query modes, imagery that had to be
reprojected wasn't being reprojected correctly. It looked like it
might be a feet/meters issue, but it's been a while so I'm probably
forgetting something.

Subject: Help Setting up FCGI for Oracle Connection pooling
Message-ID: <TUE.23.JAN.2007.150113.0500.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

Hi,

This is my first attempt to get FastCGI running with Mapserver to do 
Oracle connection pooling, and it is not working. Any help would be 
appreciated.

I have the mapfile working for CGI so I know I have the system and 
environment set up correctly, but in fcgi mode I get:

This is the error message:

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 
'Mexican_States'.
msOracleSpatialLayerOpen(): OracleSpatial error. Cannot create OCI 
Handlers. Connection failure. Check the connection string. Error: .

This is the apache error.log:

[Tue Jan 23 12:44:48 2007] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server 
"/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv410.fcgi" restarted (pid 15479)

       COLOR 204 204 204
       OUTLINECOLOR 128 128 128
     END
   END


Basically I have followed:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/fastcgi

Running Debian Sarge

1) have the libfcgi-dev loaded
2) have the apache module loaded
3) build mapserver with fcgi support

swoodbridge at data:~/work$ "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv410.fcgi" -v
MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=FASTCGI INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS 
INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

4) have configured apache 1.3 thusly:

FastCgiConfig -initial-env PROJ_LIB=/usr/share/proj -initial-env 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home2/oracle/cl10/lib -initial-env 
TNS_ADMIN=/home/swoodbridge/.oracle/ -initial-env 
ORACLE_HOME=/home2/oracle/cl10/  -appConnTimeout 60 -idle-timeout 60 
-init-start-delay 1 -minProcesses 2 -maxClassProcesses 20 -startDelay 5

LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_fastcgi.so

     <Location ~ \.fcgi>
         Options ExecCGI
         SetHandler fastcgi-script
     </Location>

5) installed mapserv as

cp mapserv /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv410
cp mapserv /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv410.fcgi

and have a shell script for CGI to set environment variables

swoodbridge at data:~/work$ cat /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv410a
#!/bin/sh
export TNS_ADMIN=/home/swoodbridge/.oracle/
export ORACLE_HOME=/home2/oracle/cl10/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home2/oracle/cl10/lib/
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv410 $*


So this works in CGI mode but not fcgi mode:

# CGI
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv410a?mode=map&layers=all&scale=50000000&map=/home/direct/mapserver/na_navteq_ora.map&mapxy=-75.7+45.42&map_size=300+200

# FCGI
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv410.fcgi?mode=map&layers=all&scale=50000000&map=/home/direct/mapserver/na_navteq_ora.map&mapxy=-75.7+45.42&map_size=300+200


Anyone have some clue on this?

Thanks,
   -Steve W.

Hi Frank,

Good call, I should have thought of that! Yes, if I change the mapfile 
to a shapefile only mapfile it runs just fine in fastcgi.

Yesterday, when I was setting up the Oracle connection I got the same 
error message and resolved it by fixing the file permission on the 
/home2/oracle directory tree. So I guess there are still some issues 
there. I'll go back over that again maybe I missed something.

Does the fastcgi version need access to different oracle client files 
that the CGI does not need?

Thanks for the quick response,
   -Steve W

Frank,

I add the DEBUG ON to the MAP and the LAYER and get as output:

Does this tell you anything?
Is there anyway to get more debug output, short of adding more print 
statements to the executable?

Steve,

I find it odd that the layer is being closed if the open never
actually succeeded.  If it did succeed then ... well that would be
interesting.

I am not aware of a way to get more debug information short of adding
extra debug statements yourself.

I just re-projected all my rasters into the same projection. On one
hand it's a lot of work, but on the other hand I figure it might
improve performance a bit.

Yep, pretty strange. I'll try to create a new bug report with a
working URL so you can see it better.

 {Scanned}
Message-ID: <WED.24.JAN.2007.095310.0100.AUDE.ALLAIN.EXTMAPPY.COM>

My fontset.txt is : 

Arial (TrueType) C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF
Arial Bold (TrueType) C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALBD.TTF
Arial Italic (TrueType) C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALI.TTF

Trebuchet MS Italic (TrueType) C:/WINDOWS/Font/strebuci.ttf
Trebuchet MS Bold Italic (TrueType) C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/trebucbi.ttf



1. The font alias in the layer is correct.

	LAYER
		....
		FONT "Arial"
		.... FONT "Arial"
	END

	With this FONT, I get the following error : msGetLabelSize(): Could not find/open font.

	
	If I add "(TrueType)" --> FONT "Arial (TrueType)", I get the following error : msGetLabelSize(): Requested font (Arial (TrueType)) not found.

	So, I don't add TrueType.

2. I use an absolute path in my the mapfile to define the fonts.txt file. 

      FONTSET  "c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/viewer/mapfile/font/fontset.txt"

3. I would like to have more information about permissions because in some forums, it is said to check the font permissions, but I don't know how to do that. 

4. The Arial font is in C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF directory. I tried to put the font file in the same directory as the fontset.txt file and replaced C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF by  ARIAL.TTF and I have always the same error. 


5. Mapserver is compiled with freetype support.

MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PD

I think that it is clear that the problem is that MapServer can't find the font file based on the name that you have specified in your layer.  This could result from many different errors:

1.  The font alias name in your layer cannot be found in your fonts.txt file.  Case sensitivity applies on 'nix boxes.  

2.  The relative path that you have specified at FONTSET in your MAP object does not point to the fonts.txt file that you have created.  Try using an absolute path to your fonts.txt file.  

3.  It could be a permissions problem.

4.  The absolute path to the font file as it is written in fonts.txt may not correctly point to the font file.  

5.  MapServer wasn't compiled with freetype support.  

To rule out an issue with MapScript, you could create a map image using mapserver cgi or shp2img.exe. 

David.

Hi,

Hi,

1. Try to remove (TrueType) from your font set file.
2. Use slash instead of backslash in the path in the font set file even on 
   Windows

for example
Arial C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF

Hi list,
Is anyone experienced about the USGS gTopo30 dataset
and his use with mapserver?
This dataset contain a binary raster in
16 bit signed integer (.dem).

The data can be found here
(http://edc.usgs.gov/products/elevation/gtopo30/gtopo30.html)

thank for any hint

Hi Aude,

I have told you to change your fonset file.
The first word should be an alias name. AFAIK it must be one word!
Change your fontset file to this:

Arial C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF
Arial_Bold C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALBD.TTF
... etc

Hi Stephen,
    This error (without error code, just point) that the Mapserver
reported occurs when the Oracle Spatial driver can't connect with
Oracle, when the Oracle variables are not present in the system
(ORACLE_HOME and/or ORACLE_BASE). Did you define it inside the
httpd.conf?
    Or, how you reported, the Mapserver can access the Oracle libs,
inside the path the ORACLE_HOME refer. How you report you can change
the permissions to the Ooracle director. The folders, just the
folders, need the execution permissions (+x). I don believe that the
Mapserver as FastCGI needs special access, here I use the PHP as
FastCGI and I didn't change any special about the Oracle.
    Another thing that I saw for FastCGI is the Oracle variables in
the Apache. When you define the Oracle Libs inside the httpd.conf the
FastCGI can't read correctly, you need to define the variables inside
the FastCGI module (the <IfModule fcgid_module>). Unfortunately I am
not in the Lab today (just tomorrow) to have access to my httpd.conf.
 I will send to you the configure that I use here tomorrow.
    Best regards.

Hi Fernando,

Thank you for your post. It lead me to the fix. I added the environment 
variables here and I am able to make connections now.

     <Location ~ \.fcgi>
         Options ExecCGI
         SetHandler fastcgi-script
         SetEnv PROJ_LIB /usr/share/proj
         SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home2/oracle/cl10/lib
         SetEnv TNS_ADMIN /home/swoodbridge/.oracle/
         SetEnv ORACLE_HOME /home2/oracle/cl10/
     </Location>

Defining them here does NOT work:

FastCgiConfig -initial-env PROJ_LIB=/usr/share/proj -initial-env 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home2/oracle/cl10/lib -initial-env 
TNS_ADMIN=/home/swoodbridge/.oracle/ -initial-env 
ORACLE_HOME=/home2/oracle/cl10/  -appConnTimeout 60 -idle-timeout 60 
-init-start-delay 1 -minProcesses 2 -maxClassProcesses 20 -startDelay 5

I tried to add a comment to the Documentation Page for FastCGI but the 
disk is full :( and this needs to be documented!

Subject: read symbol angle from database
Message-ID: <WED.24.JAN.2007.155219.0100.>

Hi,

I'm currently testing MapServer for pipes visualization purposes. This application includes gates objects (type point), which symbols have to be oriented accordingly with the pipe (type line) they're placed on.

The orientation information is available, as an angle in degrees, in my dataset in a column from an Oracle table. My question is : is there any way to combine the "ANGLE" statement in the MapFile with a SQL query? The idea would be to write something like :

ANGLE "ROTATION FROM table_gates"

Thanks in advance,

Fran?ois.

Fran?ois,

I'm not very savvy about now the oracle layer type works in MapServer,
but there is a layer keyword called "ANGLEITEM" which you can use to name
the attribute with the angle in it.  I think this should work as long
as the angle field is in your main query.

I'm working with ka-map as a visual tool and it works fine but......
If i  set up a WFS on it to display points stored on a postgis
database, the draw like 80 feet away from where they should be. I also
tried msCross and they draw on the same position  that in ka-map so i
guess that it could be a projection issue. I used ogrinfo to find out
the SRS of my shapefile, and i got:

------------------------------------------------------------
Layer SRS WKT:
GEOGCS["unnamed",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",
        SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563],
        TOWGS84[0,0,0,-0,-0,-0,0]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
    UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but there is no projection information !!!!

So i did not put any projection information on my map definition file.

I decided to use an SRID 4130 in my postgres database for the points,
but i got the results you already know. It's very similar but the UNIT
parameter is a little bit different than the one i have on my
shapefile.

Any ideas of what is missing ???

Subject: problem with tables having names containing underscores
Message-ID: <WED.24.JAN.2007.144300.0600.CSMITHSKIO.USG.EDU>

Hi:

  I just upgraded to postgresql-8.2.1 and I'm having trouble with my
mapserver application.

  I use php_mapscript and setFilter to impose the following condition:
currents_measurement_date_id = 18158.  Using mapserver-4.10.0, the query
fails thusly
(snippet of the database logfile):


ERROR:  argument of AND must be type boolean, not type currents
STATEMENT:  DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT
"speed"::text,"theta"::text,asbinary(force_collection(force_2d(geom)),'XDR'),currents_id::text
 from currents WHERE (currents) and (geom &&amp; setSRID( 'BOX3D(-81.5
30.58,-79.1 32.62)'::BOX3D,4326) )
ERROR:  cursor "mycursor" does not exist
STATEMENT:  CLOSE mycursor

Evidently, the filter condition is being truncated. See the WHERE clause.

Using an older version of mapserver (4.8.1) against postgresql-8.2.1, the
query seemingly hangs forever but doesn't yield any errors ... at least
until I stop the postmaster.

Under postgresql-8.1.5 and mapserver-4.8.1, things had been working very
well.  The same query would return about 1,000 rows.

I'm using postgis-1.2.1.

Anybody have this problem?  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

John,

EPSG code 32615 is indeed the one associated with the root PROJCS
object, so that is what should be used.  The others label datums,
spheroids and units.

 platform.
Message-ID: <WED.24.JAN.2007.174903.0700.LJFONGSDF.LONESTAR.ORG>

Hi,

I was trying to run mapserver compiled on a 64-bit Intel dual xeon processor
machine running Windows Server 2003 R2 64-bit edition. On map object creation,
the subroutine threw an exception "The type initializer for 'mapscriptPINVOKE'
threw an exception.". The stack trace was:

at mapscriptPINVOKE.new_mapObj(String jarg1)
at mapObj..ctor(String filename)

I wrote a small test C++ application on the 64-bit machine that tried to
create a map object by compiling and linking it to mapscript.lib and
mapscript_i.lib. The application ended up with the error:

Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: D:\TGI\Developer\MapServerTest\debug\MapServerTest.exe
File: dbgheap.c
Line: 1252

Expression: _CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData)

So it looked like I was having problem with the CRT library on the 64-bit
machine. Looking at libmap.dll revealed that it depended on
c:\windows\syswow64\MSVCRT.DLL (is this the correct CRT to load?)

The compiler was MS Visual Studio 2005.

The C++ test program itself:

// MapServerTest.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "map.h"


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;

	mapObj* p_mapObj = msNewMapObj();

	return 0;
}

At this point I'm stumped on where to proceed next and can use any
help/suggestion.

John -

If I can elaborate on Frank's answer just a bit, you can read the
"Coordinate System" as a set of nested definitions, delimited by those
square brackets.  The AUTHORITY for each definition is associated with
it, so SPHEROID[...AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]] shows that the "7030" is
enclosed in the SPHEROID definition.

The PROJCS is the Projected Coordinate System (what we informally call
the "projection") and so you'll see that the 32615 AUTHORITY object is
the one associated with that object.

Louvy,

There is no support for WFS-T in MapServer, and no plans I am aware of to
add it.  In fact, I think it would be a poor fit for a couple reasons:

  o MapServer's current feature model is read-only, and adding write would
    be quite a bit of work.
  o MapServer has a rather "weakly typed" feature model - at least as
    regards attributes, and this doesn't very naturally support update.
    In fact, I think it moderately hurts the usefulness of the readonly
    WFS for some applications.

GeoServer is the premiere open source WFS-T implementation.  I think
the Deegree folks also have a WFS-T though I don't know much about it.

Message-ID: <WED.24.JAN.2007.205740.0800.DAVIDCSE.UCDAVIS.EDU>

Hi,
I want to label my map with a substring of the metadata.  I've got a 
freeway map, and all of the freeways are labeled as "Interstate 5" and 
"US Highway 6".  I just want the number.

Is this possible?

I thought I might try to add that data to the .dbf file, using Excel.  
And it works using shp2img, but when I use ka-map to create an 
interactive map no roads are drawn at all (and no error messages are 
given either).  So what the hell is going on?

What's the right way to add metadata to a shapefile (assume I can't 
afford to buy ArcGIS)?  And is there an easier way to do this whole 
labeling thing?  Thanks.

David

hi all,

I have a wms layer in my map file. The server that provides the wms 
layer does not support the proj="latlong" of my map file.
I really need to keep my map file with latlong projection.
I am very confused with all this projection stuff (proj, datum, ellps) 
so is quite plausible I am doing something really silly.
I keep getting this error:
msPrepareWMSLayerRequest(): WMS server error. WEB.IMAGEPATH must be set 
to use WMS client connections.

Is there a way to solve this out?

thanks.

Hi Pietro,

I'm using Gtopo data. Simpli add a layer to your map file.
AFAIK gdal can read it, it may depend on gdal version.
My layer definition looks like:

LAYER
	NAME "e020n90"
	DATA "e020n90.dem"
	TYPE RASTER
	STATUS DEFAULT
	CLASSITEM '[pixel]'
	CLASS
		NAME "Nodata"
		EXPRESSION ([pixel] < 1)
		COLOR 0 0 255
	END
	CLASS
		NAME "0 - 50 m"
		EXPRESSION ([pixel] >= 1 AND [pixel] < 50)
		COLOR 0 119 32
	END
   ...
END #of layer

Bye

Thanks Zoltan!

I tried immediately and it work well ... but MS
does not reproject the raster!
The only way to display correctly the
raster is apply a lat/lon projection to the map, the same of the
raster.

In the same directory? of the .dem is a world
file, with the same name of the Gtopo tile and extension ".wld",
I tried also to rename the world file to ".dmw", without
result.

I used .tif rasters, georeferenced with world files,
and MS reproject them without problem.

Another way to
georeference .dem rasters?
Anyone can help?

thanks, bye

Hi Pietro,

I'm using Gtopo data. Simpli add a layer to
your map file.
AFAIK gdal can read it, it may depend on gdal
version.
My layer definition looks like:

LAYER
	NAME
"e020n90"
	DATA "e020n90.dem"
	TYPE
RASTER
	STATUS DEFAULT
	CLASSITEM '[pixel]'
	CLASS
		NAME "Nodata"
		EXPRESSION ([pixel] < 1)
		COLOR 0 0 255
	END
	CLASS
		NAME "0 - 50
m"
		EXPRESSION ([pixel] >= 1 AND [pixel] < 50)
		COLOR 0 119 32
	END
   ...
END #of layer

Bye

Pietro,

MapServer should be able to reproject the rasters as long as you define
the original file projection on the LAYER, and then define your desired
output projection on the MAP.  If the .dem files are actually USGS DEM
files then world files of any sort are likely to be ignored by GDAL
though I believe that MapServer actually will pick up the .wld and use it
to override the GDAL returned extents.

Is there a reason you are trying to setup a world file?

Best regards,

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your answer.

The keyword used to name the attribute which stores the angle is actually "LABELANGLEITEM". But adding to my layer definition:

LABELANGLEITEM ROTATION

doesn't change the orientation of the symbols. I think this keyword is more related to labelling the symbols, not drawing them.

Any ideas are welcome!

Of course!!! :-)

I forgot to define the LAYER projection ...
now it work.

(I use world files because Gtopo dataset is tiled,
and come already with the world files. Better way can be also to define a
TILEINDEX and an index shapefile, so all Gtopo extension becomes one only
layer.)

many thanks!

  Hi:
   
  I am using Dbox, example from http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/tools/dbox/
  I want to have more background layers, and each background layer is a raster. I have setup the metadata in the map file:
  METADATA
  # dLegend XML legend control
  dlegend_metagroups "foreground,background"
  dlegend_foreground_name "foreground:"
  dlegend_foreground_layers_and_groups "layer1,layer2"
  dlegend_background_name "background: "
  dlegend_background_layers_and_groups "raster1,raster2"
  dlegend_background_element "radio"
  dlegend_layer1_name "Layer1"
  dlegend_layer2_name "Layer2"
  dlegend_raster1_name "Raster1"
  dlegend_raster2_name "Raster2"
  END
   
  When  I load the page I can see the legend up to Raster1 and without Raster2
  I tried to replace the layers from the background with vector data and is working OK, but with raster data I can see only 1 background layer
   
  Is it possible to use 2 or more background layers with raster data?
   
  Thank you in advance
   
  William

Hi Pietro,

I have not reprojected gtopo30 layers yet. But AFAIK gtopo files30 are 
georeferenced in lat/lon, in my case I have .dmw .hdr and .prj files 
All of them describe projection in different formats.
If you would like to see your layer in another 
projection than you should use PROJECTION object for MAP and LAYER to 
force Mapserver to reproject your data on the fly.

Adding another column to the shapefile .dbf and populating it with the
string that you want to use as the label is the cleanest way to do it.  

You should be able to do this with any .dbf editor.  Just don't change
the order of the rows or add any rows.  This will likely corrupt your
shapefile.  

If it works with shp2img, your method is working with MapServer.  Could
it be that Ka-Map is pulling tiles from a cache and not creating them
off of the new data?

David.

Hi,
I want to label my map with a substring of the metadata.  I've got a 
freeway map, and all of the freeways are labeled as "Interstate 5" and 
"US Highway 6".  I just want the number.

Is this possible?

I thought I might try to add that data to the .dbf file, using Excel.  
And it works using shp2img, but when I use ka-map to create an 
interactive map no roads are drawn at all (and no error messages are 
given either).  So what the hell is going on?

What's the right way to add metadata to a shapefile (assume I can't 
afford to buy ArcGIS)?  And is there an easier way to do this whole 
labeling thing?  Thanks.

Yep I know I need 64-bit DLLs. The MapServer I used was compiled from the
source (buildkit) with very stripped down configurations, that was, no linkage
to MySQL, PDF generation library, GEOS, and others, as they were irrelevant to
what I needed. 

Looking at all the switches for cl.exe (visual c++ compiler), link.exe (visual
c++ linker), and csc.exe (c# compiler), I did not notice any specific switch
to produce 64-bit code. Since I compiled it using Visual Studio 2005 installed
and running on a 64-bit machine, I think the code produced should run on a
64-bit machine. Apparently it is just not that simple. I'm starting to think
it was either incorrect CRT library being loaded or the SWIG binary I used to
produce the c# mapscript binding DLLs was not 64-bit. I'm still at loss
however.

Nope, I doubt it would make a difference to have AMD processor, after all AMD
architecture is virtually the same as Intel one, as far as assembly
instructions go. Unless the software has to interact with the processor
directly and make use of processor specific assembly instructions in some way,
which I don't think applies to MapServer, it should not matter.

Can anyone confidently describe the status of connecting to a Mapserver WFS
layer using uDig?  I am using the 1.1-RC8 version hot off the web and MS
4.99 from FWTools 1.0.7.  I can use MS as both client and server and test
with shp2img, but when I try it from uDig nothing renders.  I can get a
feature count, however.  Rather than provide further detail I thought I
would ask for a sanity check if it can be expected to work or not at this
time.  My suspicion is that there is a problem with SRS, geomtetry type, or
some other metadata due to my ignorance.  Does uDig enforce a timeout?  I
had to bump it up in my client map file to give my PostGIS server time to
think.  Thanks for any tips.

Hi David - nice to see another UCD person using mapserver.

I would recommend looking into QGIS , uDIg, PostGIS, or GRASS as a means 
to 'edit' a shapefile. It could be that excel saved a slightly incompatible 
DBF version -- I have had this happen numerous times. Check column names and 
their data type. If  you have the patience to try PostGIS -- it is possible 
to do nearly anything with the spatial and attribute data imported from a 
shapefile -- and you can pull the data directly into mapserver! We use this 
setup here for all of our mapserver applications.

Cheers,

Dylan

Hi,

You probably need to link against the 64 bit version of the
MSVCR80.DLL in this case.
The Visual Studio 8 Dependency Walker can display the 64 bit images as well.

In order to produce 64 bit code you should set the proper environment
variables for your command prompt first. In your case opening the
'Visual Studio 2005 x64 Win64 Command  Prompt' would be sufficient.
Alternatively you can look into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat and find out a proper path to your
specific vcvars....bat to run.
Apparently, to execute your 64 bit code the dependent dll-s (eg.
proj.dll) might also be compiled as a 64 bit image.

<mapscript C# specific>

You should make sure your code is running against the proper version
of the .NET framework. For example you can use the SysInternals
Filemon to check whether the 64 bit or the 32 bit version has been
loaded. Sometimes, you might want to force the usage of a specific
framework by adding supportedRuntime to the app.config file, like:

<configuration>
<startup>
  <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
</startup>
</configuration>

If you compile code to produce a Win32 image on a Win64 platform (By
using the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt for example) the default
options does not force to use the 32 bit version of the framework, and
your application will not run properly. Therefore you might want to
add '/platform:x86' to your csc command line when compiling the
mapscript libraries in this case. (the default option is
/platform:any)

<end mapscript C# specific>

In the future, I consider adding some further action to the csharp's
makefile.vc in order to handle these cases more smoothly.

Tamas

Thanks for your help, guys.  It turns out (like usual) that the solution 
was something simple.  The permissions on the dbf file, which I copied 
from Windows to Linux, were all messed up, and no one had read access.

I'll try one of those programs you mentioned next time I need to edit a 
file -- excel was a pain.

By the way, what about ArcMap?  Does anyone have it working in 9.1 or
9.2?  Is it true that you need the Data Interoperabililty Extension or
not?

Subject: wms server with custom epsg
Message-ID: <THU.25.JAN.2007.165230.0500.TKIRSTINEJDBARNES.COM>

Hi all,
I have a few question regarding custom epsg codes and wms server / clients
I set up a wms server that serves up ortho imagery in a few standard spatial
reference systems EPSG:26917 and EPSG:4326 but our client would like it also
served as a Lambert Conformal Conic projection that has no EPSG code as far
as I can tell.  I've created a custom epsg code in the epsg file:

## NAD83 LCC Custom
<42305> +proj=lcc +ellps=GRS80 +lat_0=0 +lon_0=-84 +lat_1=44.5 +lat_2=54.5
+x_0=1000000.0 +y_0=0 +datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <>

and added it to the "WMS_SRS" in the metadata:
   WEB
      MINSCALE 100
      MAXSCALE 10000000
      IMAGEPATH "/var/www/html/public/map_images/"
      IMAGEURL "map_images/"
      METADATA
         "WMS_TITLE" "First Base Solutions - Web Map Service"
         "WMS_ABSTRACT" "WMS"
         "WMS_ACCESSCONSTRAINTS" "none"
         "WMS_ONLINERESOURCE" "http://xxxxxxx"
         "WMS_SRS" "EPSG:26917 EPSG:4269 EPSG:4326 EPSG:42305"
      END
   END

I was hoping that the client side would be able to interprete the new srs
automatically by when testing with ArcGIS that dosen't seem the case.  Am I
right to assume that if the client dosen't have the srs defined the
application won't accept the wms srs as valid.

Ok, I tried to compile using "win64" mode by going through 'Visual Studio 2995

Probably I need to get past this error first before considering other things.

Hi all-
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this kind of question. We
are running into all sorts of issues due to bug 1975 and trying to map
out our future development efforts. It looks like this bug is slated
to be fixed in version 5.0, does this sound right? If so does anyone
have a rough idea of when 5.0 might be released or is it completely
unknown at this time.

Yes, you can can have many background layers. I ran into the same
problem that I think you are seeing: not all of my legend was showing
up. It was syntax with the legend definitions, unfortunately I can not
remember the details. Try changing the order of the layers in the
legend, and/or removing them one at a time. This will help you find
the problem layer. And look at the class names in the layer definition
itself.

Regarding ArcMap, you do need the Data Interoperability Extension to do it
"the Esri way". Some part of the extension is actually free of charge!
The free part of the extesion allows you to read WFS/GML.

Yes, you can can have many background layers. I ran into the same
problem that I think you are seeing: not all of my legend was showing
up. It was syntax with the legend definitions, unfortunately I can not
remember the details. Try changing the order of the layers in the
legend, and/or removing them one at a time. This will help you find
the problem layer. And look at the class names in the layer definition
itself.

HTH,
Rich

Subject: Labels and MINFEATURESIZE
Message-ID: <FRI.26.JAN.2007.085307.0100.CANDALTONLINE.NO>

Hi there...

I have a polygon layer that on high scales only is visible in the map (gif output) as very small areas (maybe as a single pixel). This is fine, but i want to put a label on every polygon regardless of how small they are. 

I have tried putting a label on my class with the MINFEATURESIZE parameter but with no luck. The parameter (MINFEATURESIZE) seems to be working, cause if i set i to e.g. 20 my polygons do not get labled until the scale is smaller.

Is there a way to force labels on a polygon layer regardless of how "small" the polygons are?

My layer definition below:
LAYER
	DATA "test"
	LABELITEM "NAME"
	STATUS on
	TYPE polygon
	NAME "test"
	CLASS	
		COLOR 255 0 0
		MAXSCALE 100000000
		MINSCALE 0
		NAME "Test"
  		LABEL
  			ANTIALIAS True
  			FONT "arial"
  			TYPE truetype
  			SIZE 7
  			COLOR 0 0 0
  			OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
  			OFFSET 0 0
  			POSITION cc
  			PARTIALS false
  			FORCE true
  			MINFEATURESIZE 1
  		END
	END
END

Hi David,

The symbol actually a vector one. 

It works now! In fact, I had misunderstood the correct positioning of the ANGLEITEM keyword. It should be within the "STYLE" definition, and not directly under "LAYER".

Thanks,

Dunno if it's really on Frank's hit list or if he just suggested that 
someone should address that for 5.0. I added a comment to bug 1975 about 
the last issue that you reported.

The 5.0 release date has not been set yet, but last time we talked about 
it last fall we were thinking first quarter of 2007. Since many of the 
things that were planned for 5.0 don't seem to have progressed much yet 
I'm thinking it may well slip until later in the spring.

David,
     Hi, I a newbie in the field of web development. I
want to set up a map server by using the mapserver.
     I download the ms4w, put it in the D disk root
directory. I have installed the apache as the
instruction showed. The workshop was put under the
ms4w directory.
     But I come across the problem with the
configuration of the index.html. I don't know how set
path.
     can you tell me how to do that?

I am not sure of any mapscript approaches for this type of problem.  I
currently do this to create a grid that shows how many flights cross a given
grid cell in my application at http://maps.macnoise.com/interactive/ (select
flight tracks grid from the layer list) using postgis.

The general approach that I have is to either use a pre-built grid or a
plpgsql function that builds the grid on the fly and to create a layer in
mapserver that does an on the fly intersection between the two with a data
statement similar to this:

DATA "the_geom from (select count(f.id) as count, g.geom as the_geom from
grid as g,flighttracks as f where g.geom && f.geom and crosses(g.geom,f.geom))
using unique the_geom using srid=-1"

Hi,

You should add -DUSE_GENERIC_MS_NINT to MS_CFLAGS in the nmake.opt file.

I would suppose to start by setting minimal dependencies at nmake.opt
first, and upon a successful compilation you can enable the required
features one by one.

Setting the gd support is compulsory so you might have to compile this
library first. It is highly suggested to set up minimal dependencies
at this library as well, and enable those dependencies one by one,
just after compiling the dependent libraries.

Best Regards,

Tamas

Subject: mapserver ogr connection to tile index
Message-ID: <FRI.26.JAN.2007.100140.0700.NBESTFORESTONE.COM>

In the OGR In Mapserver How-To section 4.5 [1] talks about using a tile
index for vector layers.  I have been able to add a collection of
shapefiles with differing attribute schemas to my map and they render
correctly but the attributes are not available for querying, as in an
on-screen identification.  

LAYER
    NAME "ogrtile"
    TYPE POLYGON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    TILEINDEX "tileindex.shp,0"
    STATUS ON
    TEMPLATE "query"
    CLASS
        NAME "all"
        STYLE
            COLOR 200 255 0
            OUTLINECOLOR 120 120 120
        END
    END
END

The statements in the how-to gave me some optimism that it might work by
saying "OGR tileindex layers should support all normal query and
attribute fetching mechanisms" with the qualification that "problems
may (or may not) be encountered if the component tiles have differing
schemas (different sets of attributes)," which should have dampened my
optimism.  Anyhow I have tested it out and it seems like I need another
approach, but I am wondering if anyone has successfully done this and I
have missed something.  Could this possibly be a useful feature? 
Thanks.

Hi,

When I have a shape file within MapServer that is pointing to a number of
GeoTiff files I sometimes get a series of white dashes running at the border
between GeoTiff files.  I have brought these same GeoTiff files and
displayed them within ArcExplorer2 and these white dashes do not show up.

Thanks,

What's more when I use this composite layer in a WFS server it appears
that it only serves out one of the tiles, presumably the first one. 
Attributes should not be a factor in this case because I am accepting
the default of including no attributes.

Ben,

Sorry for not responding sooner.  Twice I started the effort to dig up this
bug report to see what it was but got distracted.  A direct bug url helps!

I don't anticipate a fix for 1975 (loadparams() does not work in mod_php
or mod_python situation) for any of the 4.10.x bug fixes releases.  I'd
like to fix it for 5.0 but even that is not certain, and it seems to me
that the workaround should not be too onerous (parse the url and populate
the params manually).

As to the question about intermittent crashing, we would definately need
more details to track that down.  It could be almost anything.

Best regards,

I have found this to be the background showing through. The gap is caused by a
reprojected tile which is no longer rectangular, and a pixel can get lost at
the boundary. (Which doesn't mean this is the same thing you're seeing :-)

It seems to be a rounding issue.

My fix was to specify a background of 128/128/128 RGB values, as my tiles were
grayscale aerial images. While the dashed lines were still there, it made thenm
difficult to see :-)

I am copying to the mapserver list so that others may contribute
and/or benefit from our discussion.

To eliminate the "redraw map" link, you define a legend handler like this:

function legendHandler(name, state) {
   ms.setLayer(name, state);
   ms.draw();
}

To set the initial state of layers, you call the changeNodeStatus()
function. In my window.onload() function I use the following code:

var slayers = ms.getLayers(",")
var alayers = slayers.split(",");
for(var i=0; i<alayers.length; i++)
    legend.changeNodeStatus(alayers[i], "on");

The teton county dBox site is not done, but one that is a little
further along is here:

Expressions in classes are interpreted by MapServer not the underlying

Then I guess I had the expression wrong then, here was the layer I had been
trying to display with multiple classifications:

LAYER # 9
    NAME "Census Groups"
    TYPE POLYGON
    CONNECTION ...
    CONNECTIONTYPE SDE
    DATA "APACHE.APACHE.CENSUS_GROUP,SHAPE,SDE.DEFAULT"
    STATUS ON
    TRANSFORM ON
    CLASSITEM "POP2000"
    CLASS
        EXPRESSION "[POP2000] >= 0 AND [POP2000] <= 400"
        STYLE
            COLOR 112 247 38
        END
    END
    CLASS
        EXPRESSION "[POP2000] >= 400 AND [POP2000] <= 800"
        STYLE
            COLOR 233 9 61
        END
    END
	...

	# Catch-all
	CLASS
		STYLE
			COLOR 255 0 0
		END
	END
END

The CENSUS_GROUP table is an SDE table with SHAPE as its geometric field. The
field POP2000 is a numeric field of type 'int' with values from 21 to 3416.
MapServer ignored all other classifications and only rendered the layer by
"Catch-all" classification that rendered everything in red. No error or
warning from MapServer at all. Can someone show me the correct way of writing
the EXPRESSION in this case?

Thanks.

Hong

Thanks for the update. I'll look into whether or not we can get more
details on the crashing. Any tips on particular thigns that might
help? What we know so far is that if we have open up a top on the
server and then hit the php apache starts and then dies almost
instantly returning nothing. If we fake the environment and run on the
command line it succeeds everytime. I'm a little new to this so any
direction on where to go from here in terms of trying to track it down
would be greatly appreciated.

Hong,

your expressions are syntactically correct, you only need to wrap them 
in brackets instead of quotes, so they are actually considered as 
expressions and not as strings.

EXPRESSION ([POP2000] >= 0 AND [POP2000] <= 400)

should therefore just work fine.

END

So, in my legend the size increase with zoom in and decrease with zoom out
(like map) !
I need to fix that size on legend! How can I do that??

Hi Raul,

libpq is the C application programmer's interface to PostgreSQL.
Probably the directory of libpq is not defined ld.so.conf or in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable. It is probably in the lib directory 
of postgrasql intall directory.
You can use ldd command to check dinamic linked library dependency.
After changing ld.so.conf dont forget to run ldconfig command.

Bye
Zoltan

Hello Paul.
you can do that with HTML-legends,
for example write in the LEGEND-Block:

LEGEND
  STATUS ON
  KEYSIZE 18 12
  # LABEL object
  LABEL
    TYPE BITMAP
    SIZE MEDIUM
    COLOR 0 0 89
  END
  TEMPLATE "legend.html"  
END

The template.html looks like:
[leg_class_html opt_flag=15]
<img src=[leg_icon] width="10" height="10"> [leg_class_name]<br>
[/leg_class_html]

I can't speak for your FWtools-to-MS4W port, but note that MS4W 2.2.2
contains MapServer compiled with FastCGI support (notes here
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#d-fastcgi),
and you'll need to compile the necessary Apache module (as noted here
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/fastcgi/#ms4w-users).

Or i suppose you could use an older Apache version that has a mod_fastcgi
module already available.

(but this is the extent of my knowledge, as stated in one of the docs the
hope is that someone takes the time to do this and document what is
needed, and contribute the notes back to MS4W)

John,

On the mapserver site on the documentation page is a link that explains 
all you have to do to get fastcgi setup and running. While this might 
already be done or not in MS4W, it is worth while reading and checking 
the various config options and parameters.

Hello list,

I would like to know what the advantages of WFS in comparison to WMS are?

Some aspects are quite clear:

-It`s easier to design a WFS than a WMS. The way with SLD is not necessary.

- Poissibility to analyze and select WFS-Features with Filters (at WMS just a
spatial analyze with BBOX is possible)

- Tooltip-possibility

- Highlighfunction

Does anybody know other advantages WFS gives in comparison to WMS?



Thank you, Kai

Kai,

firstly keep in mind that WMS and WFS serve different purposes. WFS can get
you to the real data, WMS can only get you images of your data, and
something called getfeatureinfo can get you to do a query on a point clicked
in the map.

With respect to your list, I don't agree with all of your points.

WFS, i.e. the GML coming from a WFS, is also often symbolized using SLD. So
there is not much difference there. With Mapserver you can define CLASSes on
a CONNECTIONTYPE WFS layer, but a lot of OGC clients use SLD to style WFS
layers.

Highlight can be done with WMS as well, no problem there. You can just
create a SLD with a Filter in there. 

Even a tooltip on a mouseover could theoretically be done with WMS
(GetFeatureInfo), but the performance will probably be insufficient. So
having a WFS and getting the data within the map extent using a BBOX filter
will probably be the way to go for a tooltip layer.

Best regards,
Bart

Well, just think about what both are doing:

WFS transfers the data. WMS transfers ready made maps. One gives you the
drawn map the other one gives you the raw data. So whatever are the
advantages of getting the raw data are the advantages of WFS.

for large sets of data WMS is much faster since its just generating and passing an image, whereas WFS is quite painful with large query sets.  Its also faster in web based clients to handle because javascript although nice in most web based WFS clients its very slow to drag them around (think openlayers).

Also with WMS and mapserver you can query by GET arguments i just can't remember how at the moment.  Its something like LAYER_0_FILTER='foo > 5 AND bar < 5'

Please note that the filter given here is not WMS, its Mapserver's native
query language, so it can at most be seen as a vendor-specific parameter.

The way to do this with WMS is to use SLD.

Hi folks!

Do some of you have know how and experince with UMN mapserver and Oracle
spatial?
We try to use this combination, but the performance is inacceptably
slow.
We are not sure, where the problem lies, but we have hints that make us
believe, that mapserver may not be using very efficient query, when
retrieveing data from Oracle spatial.

Can you confirm that?
Do you have other information regarding that topic?
Are there feasible workarounds?

Hi Walter,
    Here in the UNIVALI we use a lot Oracle Spatial with UMN Mapserver
in our projects.
    About the speed, it is slow to draw the map too, or just to apply
query (query mode in CGI and query functions in Mapscript) ?
    Can you show how you defined your DATA parameter for your layer?
What version of UMN Mapserver are you using?
    Best regards.

Mapserver queries Oracle row by row (fetch by id). This works fine for
shapefiles but not for database sources.

For maps it should be reasonably fast enough on Oracle Spatial, but for
queries it is not, at least that's my experience. It also depends on the
size of the result set ofcourse.

If I need heavy queries, I tend to go for Geoserver instead.

With queries I actually meant the step of retrieving the geometry data
for drawing the map. Some of the maps contain between 10000 and 20000
geometries.

Shouldn't you then just simplify/generalize the geometries at the database
level so that at a smaller map scale less and simpler geometries can be
retrieved by Mapserver? So make several tables and apply them to scale
levels.

The first question: sorry for my english.

And now:

When you do:

$queryString = "('[AREA]' = '10')"
$queryItem = 'AREA';
$map->querybyattributes($queryitem,$queryString,MS_MULTIPLE);

if the result is multiple, how get a new image that it contains in itself all the shapes findings. 

thank?s for all and, another time, sorry for my english.

______________________________________________________


Por si alquien sabe espa?ol:

El problema que  tenemos es que al hacer un querybyattributes si el resultado de la consulta es m?ltple (por ejemplo, varios registros de un shape de pol?gonos) pues los alfanum?ricos los conseguimos f?cilmente, pero ?c?mo creamos una im?gen que contenga todos los pol?gonos encontrados en la selecci?n?.

saludos y gracias por todo.

	$oLayer = $map->getLayer($nLayer);

	$oLayer->open();
	for ($nResult = 0; $nResult < $map->getNumResults(); $nResult++)

... something like this (there might be a bug hidden somewhere).

Hi Steff: The problem is (I think) that transparency is applied at the layer level, not at the
feature level. The feature level 'draw' methods then bypass the transparency code altogether.
So what/how  you are trying to do is not possible. I'm not sure what's up with the label backgroundcolor
but I'm pretty sure on the first problem. I'm hopeful that 5.0 will be able to auto detect situations
where alpha blending should be applied and this limitation will go away.

The workaround is to add features to layers first and then use the layer or map level draw methods.
I can't quite tell how big a problem that will be for you by looking at the code. I think if you convert
each class in the mobileLayer to a layer itself (each with one class) that it might be possible.

Subject: functions convert and upper with mapserver 4.10.0
Message-ID: <TUE.30.JAN.2007.115206.0100.NATAPRIVATEHOTMAIL.COM>

Hi,

A week ago, I was using mapserver 4.6.1 and in my .map file I set:

LABELITEM 'upper(nombre)'
or
LABELITEM "convert(municipio, 'UNICODE', 'LATIN1')"

and it worked ok, but, I've updated mapserver to mapserver 4.10.0 and now I 
get an error related to upper and convert functions.

Doesn't mapserver 4.10.0 support these functions?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: problem with html legend + legend limiter?
Message-ID: <TUE.30.JAN.2007.163943.0100.JOHAN.VANDEWAUWGMAIL.COM>

Dear Mapserver users,

I'm having some problems with Mapserver 4.10 and the html legend.
I can generate an image legend for all my layers without any problems.

Buthen I try to generate a html layer, this works for all my layers,
except for one. This layer only works after I delete a lot of entries
to make sure that there are only about 33 items in the legend.

When I add that layer, my complete legend disappears, although I still
have a correct map.

Before adding the "evil layer": http://users.ugent.be/~jvdewauw/1.png
After adding it: http://users.ugent.be/~jvdewauw/2.png

(the templates used are the ones from the tutorials)

Is this normal behaviour, or does any one have a clue what I'm doing
wrong? I couldn't find any reference to similar problems. Is there a
limit of items you can put in the legend?

And now that I'm on the list anyway: the true reason that I'm trying
to find out about this legend is that I would like to have some kind
of a legend limiter, limiting the items in your legend to the items
that are visible on the map. If someone has created or done an attempt
to create something like that, I would really like to hear about it
(my other map has >200 items) .

Thanks already!
Johan

There was a mention a while ago of a proprietary MapServer-based 
software with enhancements and bug fixes. This has made me curious. Does 
anybody have any examples of proprietary extensions to MapServer that 
have given back bug fixes and features to the open source community? I'm 
curious about proprietary, pay websites as well as MapServer-based 
commercial, off-the-shelf software.

Could you please try to view the HTML source of the page in which you do 
not get any legend and see if any code is generated for the legend, if 
you get truncated output, or what you get exactly?

I see that you do get a reference map below your empty legend which 
makes me think that the problem may be different from the crash reported 
in bug 1946... or at least the symptoms seem to be different. If you can 
create a bug with a testcase to reproduce then that would help of course.

The configure script is complaining that:

config.log says:

After a bit of searching, I see that glibc-devel is what provides this
file, which I have now installed, but configure still gives the same
error.  The file exists under /usr/lib64.

I get the same results with MapServer 4.10.0, 4.8.4, and 4.6.2.  Line
number above is from 4.8.4.  This is on RHEL 2.6.9-42 for PPC64.  I
have no such problems on an old Fedora Core 2 system.

Thanks for any assistance or advice.

Hi,

I've got one strange issue with MapServer at the moment. I use native Oracle Spatial connection to populate layers of Point/Line data. The problem is when I query my Oracle system views, I can not find any trace of the queries that MapServer does. 

Is there a "verbose log" mode that would enable me to have a detailed look at all the queries done by MapServer ? That would help me to sort things out.

Thanks in advance,

Fran?ois.

Hi Fran?ois,
    You can enable the log for UMN Mapserver when you configue and
compile it, the flag. If you enable it (or was already enable) you
just need to define the DEBUG ON for you "MAP" and "LAYER" in your
mapfile.
    You don't need to do any special thing to enable it for Oracle
Spatial. For Oracle Spatial connection you can see all the steps,
like login, logoff and SQL.
    Best regards.

Betreff: PHP MapScript Wrappers for WxS Services

Hi, 
currently we try to use the PHP MapScript wrappers for WMS services according to the PHP examples in the howto document http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wxs_mapscript.

Unfortunately we experience with the PHP mapscript functions ms_iogetstdoutbufferstring() or ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes() 
e.g. with

/*--------------------------------------------------*/ dl("php_mapscript_4.10.0.dll");

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

/* Enable output buffer */
ms_ioinstallstdouttobuffer();

/* Create mapobject, execute request */
$oMap = ms_newMapobj("../mymap/wms.map");
$oMap->owsdispatch($request);

/* wich contenttype has been returned ? */
 $contenttype = ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype();
 $ctt = explode("/",$contenttype);

/* Send response with appropriate header */
 if ($ctt[0] == 'image')
	{
	header('Content-type: image/'. $ctt[1]);
	ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes();
	}
else
	{
	header('Content-type: application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml');
	ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes();
	}

ms_ioresethandlers();
/*--------------------------------------------------*/

that there is at least one additional blank line at the beginning of the sent document between http-header and binary data (i.e. the image) which seems to result in an unreadable file.

Environment: W2003 Server, IIS 6, PHP 5.2, MapScript 4.10.0 from MS4W 2.2.1 (maptools.org)

Does anybody know a workaround for this problem?

Andreas

Subject: PHP MapScript Wrappers for WxS Services
Message-ID: <WED.31.JAN.2007.103246.0100.ANDREASALEXANDER.MAULBGR.DE>

Hi, 
currently we try to use the PHP MapScript wrappers for WMS services
according to the PHP examples in the howto document
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wxs_mapscript.

Unfortunately we experience with the PHP mapscript functions
ms_iogetstdoutbufferstring() or ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes() 
e.g. with

/*--------------------------------------------------*/
dl("php_mapscript_4.10.0.dll");

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

/* Enable output buffer */
ms_ioinstallstdouttobuffer();

/* Create mapobject, execute request */
$oMap = ms_newMapobj("../mymap/wms.map");
$oMap->owsdispatch($request);

/* wich contenttype has been returned ? */
 $contenttype = ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype();
 $ctt = explode("/",$contenttype);

/* Send response with appropriate header */
 if ($ctt[0] == 'image')
	{
	header('Content-type: image/'. $ctt[1]);
	ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes();
	}
else
	{
	header('Content-type: application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml');
	ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes();
	}

ms_ioresethandlers();
/*--------------------------------------------------*/

that there is at least one additional blank line at the beginning of the
sent document between http-header and binary data (i.e. the image) which
seems to result in an unreadable file.

Environment: W2003 Server, IIS 6, PHP 5.2, MapScript 4.10.0 from MS4W
2.2.1 (maptools.org)

Does anybody know a workaround for this problem?

Regards, 
Andreas

Perhaps you could try running 'autoconf' in the mapserver source 
directory to regenerate the configure script. This should not be 
required, but perhaps the version of autoconf on your server will 
include the required paths in its C compiler tests.

I did try that, but the output configure script had no differences at
all from the original one.  Needless to say, it reported the same
error.

Hi

I'm having some problems with projections in Mapserver. I have three pieces 
of data, 2 polygon shapefiles and a GeoTIFF raster image. I am trying to 
define their projections so that they align correctly as the raster is 
slightly off from the two shapefiles.

I have managed to extract the geographical info from the files but I have no 
idea where I define it in the mapfile and what info I need to include (or 
what any of it means).

I have attached the three text files which include the geographical data for 
each, can someone explain to me how to define these in a mapfile, eg where I 
need to do it and what info I need.

Can you please include lots of detail and description so I can fully 
understand :)

Thanks

Brad

Subject: WCS and Reprojection with TileItem
Message-ID: <THU.1.FEB.2007.020532.0100.GOOOGLEFREE.FR>

Hi,

I'm using mapserv like WMS and now, I would like use the WCS service to 
get DEM, from DTED files.

To do this, i used gdaltindex software to create a shapefile to have 
only one entry on my mapfile with the "TILEITEM" keyword.

I precise my dted file are LatLon, in EPSG:4326.

So when i did a request Getmap from the server, i had the result i 
wanted for, in lat-lon.
But my problem was when i tried to send the request, but with 
CRS=epsg:32631 (UTM Zone N31) by example (BBOX in 32631 too), nothing 
work and the server send me a file with the good boundingbox envelloppe, 
but with no data, only 0.

When I tried to do a resquest with CRS=epsg:4326 (BBOX in 4326)  and 
RESPONSE_CRS=epsg:32631, i have the same empty 0 file, and the server 
doesn't warn me any error. Just a file with 0m data elevation.

I'm really surprised, because the OGC documents about the WCS Service 
tell the response_crs can be used to have a reprojection, and the how-to 
user case from the mapserver website tell this option can be used.

So when i try to put only one file with the DATA keyword, i was really 
surprised to see a request in another crs gave me the good reprojection 
and the right results, so the reprojection works on only one file, but 
not in shapefile tileitem. So Did I do something wrong, or this is it a 
bug from mapserv ?

Moreover, i am already using mapserver with the WMS service, and i have 
only shapefile tileitem entries on my wms mapfile : the reprojection 
works perfectly ! (the shapefile are created from the gdaltindex tool).

I can't put each file on my mapfile, because i thousands files and this 
will be affect the performances of mapserv (moreover, i think it exist a 
limitation of the maximum number of layers in a mapfile).

So do you would have any idea about this problem, or do you know an easy 
exemple of a wcs service server who delivers DEM data in differents 
reprojections ?

thanks you for the help,

sincerly,

J?r?me Martin




J'ai donc configur? un server wcs, et j'ai ?galement cr?e un fichier shp 
via gdaltindex afin de n'avoir qu'une seule entr?e dans le mapfile 
regroupant plusieurs fichiers DTED.

Je pr?cise que les fichiers sont en latlon EPSG:4326

En faisant une requ?te avec CRS=epsg:4326, j'ai donc le r?sultat 
attendu, soit un fichier tiff (ce que je voulais) en latlon.
Par contre, lorsque je fais une requ?te avec CRS=epsg:32631 (UTM zone 
N31) par exemple, l?, tout se complique puisque la r?ponse que me 
renvoye le server semble bonne au niveau des dimensions, mais je n'ai 
uniquement que des 0, les donn?es d'?l?vation disparaissent.

Je pr?cise que j'ai d?j? un server WMS utilisant exclusivement des 
tileindex (via gdaltindex) et que la reprojection se passe parfaitement. 
Mais en WCS, rien ne marche plus pour la reprojection.

Par contre, si je prend un fichier seul (fichier.dt1) que je rajoute 
dans mon mapfile wcs, alors dans ce cas l?, la reprojection marche bien 
et ne pose pas de probl?me. Je ne peux cependant pas r?soudre mon 
probl?me comme cela car je ne peux inclure des milliers de fichiers dans 
mon mapfile, et je ne peux pas non plus modifier les fichiers dted en 
entr?e (d'autant plus que je ne veux pas distinguer s?parement chaque 
fichier dted dnas mes requ?tes).

Comment puis-je r?soudre mon probl?me ? quelqu'un a-t-il d?j? ?t? 
confront? ? ce type de probl?me sous WCS ?

cordialement,

Hi Bradley,

it is normal if your raster is not correctly aligned with the 2 goods 
shapefiles.

In fact, yours shapefiles are on the projection "GDA_1994_MGA_Zone_55", 
so its implique mapserv knows where to place correctly the shapefiles data.
But for your raster, you don't have any information about the 
projection. So it can't know in what projection and zone the data has to 
be. (a bounding box exist in each zone, and are just translated from 6? 
(maybe not in your reprojection, i don't know it, but UTM is the same 
system of 2x60 zones to define the earth)).

So you can first try to put for each layer in your mapfile

PROJECTION
       "init=epsg:xxxx"  #where xxxx is the corresponding identifier of 
the projection (check the share/proj/epsg file to do this) : in your 
case, it is "init=epsg:28355".
END

to force mapserv to know from where the data comes. It is probably 
useful only for the raster, but try to put again for shapefile in case 
of it still doesn't work. (It always better to add this information in 
each layer)

I hope i could help you,

sincerely,

J?r?me

Hi J?r?me

I tried what you said but still no luck, I tried several combinations, like 
only for raster, only for polygons, and everything together including 
defining in the mapfile. The map still shows but it is still off centre.

I attached the mapfile and a pic of the problem to give you a better idea.

I talked to someone before about this and they said the problem was 
something to do with the fact the shapfile data takes into account the 
spherical nature of the globe while the raster image does not.

Subject: Raster Image and Shapefile Alignment
Message-ID: <SUN.7.JAN.2007.150402.0800.BRADLEYM06HOTMAIL.COM>

Ok here is the sitution I have a raster image and shapefile data but the two
do not line up correctly. They are supposed to but this is the way the data
was given to me. Is there anyway I can get these to line up correct?, or can
I edit the shapefile so that it is correct?

I am looking for free/open source answers to this problem, eg I cannot use
expensive software it must be free or open source.

Thanks Brad
