Message-ID: Pascal, I would guess the data is in a geographic coordinate system. This means the units of coordinates and pixel sizes for the image would be degrees not meters. I would also assume that the image covers the entire Earth, not just a part of it, so: Calculating the X (longitude) pixel size, 360 degrees covers the Earth all the way around: 360 degrees / 8192 pixels = 0.0439453125 degrees per pixel in X Calculating the Y (latitude) pixel size, 180 degrees covers the Earth pole to pole: 180 degrees / 4096 pixels = 0.0439453125 degrees per pixel in Y Notice the pixel size in X is the same as Y. This is typical for a raster map (but not a hard rule). --------------- And now for a reality check. Approximately how many meters-on-the-ground is each pixel? 0.0439453125 degrees/pixel * 60 minutes/degree * 60 seconds/minute * 30 meters/second (approx) = 4700 meters/pixel Interesting information, but not needed for the tfw file. --------------- So back to the calculations for the tfw file: The coordinates of the upper-left corner of the upper left pixel would be X = -180 degrees Y = 90 degrees But the tfw file specifies the MIDDLE of the upper left pixel (so we need to subtract half a pixel width from each coordinate): X = -180 + 0.0439453125/2 = -179.97802734375 Y = 90 - 0.0439453125/2 = 89.97802734375 So the tfw file would be: 0.0439453125 0 0 -0.0439453125 -179.97802734375 89.97802734375 One more step for Mapserver: Since the tiff file is not a geotiff, you need to tell mapserver the coordinate system of the raster file. So your layer definition in the the map file would be (note the PROJECTION object): ########## NASA BLUE MARBLE ########### LAYER NAME "satellite" DATA "/var/www/odamap/blue_marble.tif" TYPE RASTER PROJECTION "geographic" END METADATA "wms_title" "ODAdata WMS Server SATELLITE" END END ####################################### Brent Fraser GeoAnalytic Inc.

I am trying the GetStyles request and find some issues. Someone asked about this issue in the mailing list in the short last few monthes. I got some LAYER which contains about 12 CLASS objets, this CLASS contains EXPRESSION parameter. Here an exemple : CLASS NAME "M1 : La D?fense - Ch?teau de Vincennes" EXPRESSION ('[TYPE]' eq 'M' AND '[NUMERO]' eq '1' AND '[DATE_LIV]' < '200712') COLOR 255 255 0 SIZE 3 SYMBOL 1 END There are 24 class like this one. If I try a GetStyles request on this kind of layer, nothing occurs (ie blank page), if I remove most CLASS the XML response is displayed, If I remove only the EXPRESSION parameter, again the XML response is displayed. So I think the issue is not link to the number of CLASS object, but rather with EXPRESSION parameter. BUT, in an other LAYER, I got only three CLASS object with EXPRESSION parameter, and the xml response is displayed. Finally, it seems that if a LAYER got a lot of CLASS object with EXPRESSION parameter inside, the XML response failed. And if a LAYER object got a lot of CLASS object, the XML response failed as well. I am using Mapserver 4.10. Are someone aware of this issue and know a workaround.

For example I want to take an xy point that a user clicked on the map and find the nearest feature in many different layers to that point. For example nearest park, library, school, etc. It is also possible the point could be contained with in a polygon. Is there a Geos function in mapscript to do this?

Because the EMPTY and ERROR parameters are in the mapfile (they are given as URLs for the user to be redirected to) it is possible that they won't be used IF the error encountered is in the parsing of the mapfile. In that case the mapObj structure isn't populated and the software can't know their values.

The normal mode=query does this but only one layer at a time. Simple point queries make distance computations to find the closest feature within a search area. For example, you set the tolerance for a layer (say 5 miles for schools) and then MapServer finds the closest school to the XY point. If no schools are within that tolerance then the query fails. If the XY is in a polygon the distance is zero and the search returns quickly. You also have other options. With MapScript, of course, you could loop through your candidate layers and do a simple point query. Your client software could also issue multiple simple mode=query requests, one for each layer, using AJAX and you could build a result set that way. Steve >>> "Fischer, Brian" 11/01/07 3:57 PM >>> MapServer users, I am curious to hear if anyone knows if it is possible to implement a nearest search with mapscript.

One big issue that needs to be resolved before we can release 5.0.1 is the requirement for the STYLE= parameter in WMS GetMap request that has been enforced (as required by the spec) in MapServer 5.0.0 but that prevents clients such as Google Earth from connecting to MapServer 5.0.0 WMS servers.

Permissive mode should be seen as a mechanism to get the widest possible interoperability with clients (even slightly broken clients), rather than as a quick and dirty approach. The other 5.0.1 issue that I think is critical is: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2373 That is, to make sure we don't release 5.0.1 with a non-portable mapparser.c by accident. It seems that most of the other pending 5.0.1 milestone bugs could be easily put off to 5.0.2 in the interest of getting 5.0.1 out the door within a week or two.

I had the one query layer reprojected, and all others at geographic. At this time, map alignment was still A-OK, same as it was when all layers were geographic and the map's output was 26709. Therefore, reprojection for map generation seemed to work just fine. The issue seems to be in reprojecting from map SRS to layer SRS when querying. Unfortunately, the customer has now signed off on the map, using all data in the same SRS, so I am no longer able to work on that map. To reiterate for a bug report: * This was under 4.10.3 Perhaps it has already been fixed in 5.0 ? * The map output was EPSG:26709 and the layers were all EPSG:4269 (geographic nad27). All layers were of contiguous polygons. * The only way queries would work under those conditions was to use a very large buffer (1000 pixels), and making the buffer smaller seemed to cause the hits to become looser, hitting neighboring polygons. A buffer of 0px caused queries to always fail, rather than the intended behavior of a click matching only inside the polygon. * Changing the layer to 26709 solved the problem entirely. -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth System Administrator, HostGIS cartographic development & hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ "Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore." - AMANDA From andreas.albarello at TERRITORIUMONLINE.COM Fri Nov 2 11:02:09 2007 From: andreas.albarello at TERRITORIUMONLINE.COM (Andreas Albarello) Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2007 19:02:09 +0100 Subject: Class or filter expression on date field in shapefile In-Reply-To: <47266012.1070202@duke.edu> Message-ID: Ei Fujioka wrote: > What is the date format for class/filter expression? > I use Mapserver 4.2. > I tried the following expression but failed. > EXPRESSION ([DATE_S] > '2003-01-01') Ei, I happened to stumble upon some MapServer 4.2 code today and a quick look at the lexer and parser made me think that the following expression might even work: EXPRESSION ('[DATE_S]' > '2003-01-01') Note that it was single quotes back then, not backticks, and the field needs to be quoted too.

If using PHP as a module then what you got could be the symptoms of a memory trashing problem which over time corrupts/kills all Apache child processes. The easy workaround would be to switch to using PHP as a CGI, this way every request gets a new fresh process to work with and you avoid the problem. However if possible we should try to identify the source of the problem, and if it's a bug in MapServer then try to fix it. First, the usual suspects: GD... if your PHP has GD enabled, then is it using the same copy of GD as PHP MapScript? If PHP uses its bundled GD that could be a problem because MapScript likely uses the system GD and you have two different versions of GD used in the same process. It's important that both PHP and MapServer/MapScript use the system GD. If you are convinced that conflicting GD versions is not the cause of the problems then I'd suggest that you try again with MapServer 5.0. If you can reproduce the bug with 5.0 then please file a ticket in Trac with as much detail as you can, including a script + mapfile to reproduce.

Actualy, if I uncoment EXPRESSION in more than 6 CLASSes, the xml file will be empty. Furthermore, even if I get an xml file, it seems there is a problem in my XML data : ZONE_ Or for one of them : ZONE_ ??p ?$~?????

Luca, this should really work, I just tested this myself: LAYER TYPE polygon ... CLASS STYLE COLOR 174 165 255 OUTLINECOLOR 220 200 255 WIDTH 3 END END END Make sure you are not referencing any SYMBOL in your STYLE definition. That way the default fill symbol for polygons is automatically used and you get the desired fill and outline.

You can watch the documentation for the LEGEND object mapfile but I don't think that the header will run for the WMS service. Note that I had the same problem about using this for my application. I choosed to use mapserv in CGI mode to get my legend, but this is not OGC compliant ;) The other way is to use a GetSTyles request, but you have to build the legend icon by yourself, not so difficult for plain polygon icone, more difficult if you use hached icons. But by this way you could manage the layout exactly as you want :) If you develop something to create icon from an SLD XML data, I will be really interesting for :) Anyway, if some developpers implyed in OGC standards could give their opinion about this "issue" :) My opinion is that all pictures have to be processed in the server side and the client side will just create the layout. That's imply that GetLegendGraphic "is not good" because it creates layout in the server side and GetStyles "is not good" because the icons have to be create on the client side. However, I develop my application using OGC standard and Mapserver and I am really happy of this two technologies.

Very nice to be able to open a shapefile etc in a few lines! But tring to get the layer.queryByPoint method failed. It returns 0 (aka success), but getResults() returns always 0. Same when I load this layer from within a mapserver-mapfile. But loading this same mapfile in mapserver, returns a hit on this point. Found this ticket: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1766 which is 1 year old. I'm using fwtools 1.4 on windows for this. My Question: - anybody a good working example of layer.queryByPoint? - is the python mapscript interface still being tested/developed? Or is it 'old stuff' not to be used anymore?

Did you build GDAL/OGR from source yourself? Did you explicitly configure in Mysql support? OVF (VRT) files are normally used when you use a mysql table through odbc that is not using spatial data types. The OVF file tells OGR which columns are x and y.

For example, if you could attach a sequence number from 1 to 5 to each place then you could use classes and offsets. For example: seq name color 1 place1 red 2 place1 blue 3 place1 red 1 place2 white 1 place3 red 2 place3 blue then you could have a layer like: LAYER ... CLASSITEM 'seq' CLASS EXPRESSION '1' # no offset STYLE ... END END CLASS EXPRESSION '2' # ul STYLE OFFSET -10 -10 ... END END CLASS EXPRESSION '3' # lr STYLE OFFSET 10 10 ... END END ...

This is because I have a webcache in front of mapserver, which will cache requests for about twelve hours, and I need a way to tell an errormessage apart from a successful response. The way it is now, blank images sneaks into the cache occasionally, and this is what I'm trying to avoid. I need the cache, because we regularly get over 300 requests per second (highest peak I've seen so far is 604 request in a single second), and our servers can't handle this load without caching. Over the last nine and a half days, we've had almost 110 million wms requests to our cache, and only 4 million went to the backend. So basically - I desperately need the cache, but it's extremely important that it doesn't cache blank images or other error messages embedded in an image, which is why I want mapserver to return an application/vnd.ogc.se_xml error whenever any sort of error happens. > Le Tuesday 06 November 2007 17:35:17 Trond Michelsen, vous avez ?crit?: >> Hi. >> >> In my mapfile, I have several layers with connectiontype WMS.

Dejan, there is currently no way to escape a slash inside a regular expression in MapServer. In addition, I don't think GNU regex supports any kind of octal or hex notation to specify a certain character like /214\x2f2/ where \x2f would be the slash character (ASCII #47 = 2f). Only thing that comes to mind would be to link MapServer against the PHP PCRE regex, if that still works (haven't tried it in a while). Perl-compatible regular expressions should then allow you to do the sort of hex-escape I mentioned above.

I created a jsp Page using mapscript to generate a gif picture out of my GIS Data, and it works just fine. The jsp page receives the GIS Data via a webservice ... so the Data changes and the picture is newly-created each time the GIS Data has changed. The problem is, that my browser ignores the changes sometimes. So, the page is loaded again and the shown picture is still the old one, even though it doesn't exist anymore. The picture is shown in an tag, here is the code: page.jsp ======== ... <% mapObj map = new mapObj(mapfile); //mapfile is resolved out of a POST request imageObj image = map.draw(); image.save(this.tmpPath+"/picture.gif",map); %> out.println("
"); out.println("" ); out.println("
"); where picturePath is the URL to the created picture. The part with the random number is a solution for this problem from a php forum, but it doesn't work so far. My first idea was, that there is a problem with my IE cache. So I added meta tags to my jsp page ... but the problem seems to be somewhere else. A possible solution would be to give the picture an ID which changes every time the picture is created ... but this would be a bit sloppy I think. Well, maybe somebody of you had simliar experiences ... hopefully. thanks in advance.

Could it be that the queryByPoint() function is querying on the specific point and applying the filter, which fails or returns all timesteps associated with that point, because the 'time' column is in a separate table than the geometry column? I assumed the queryByPoint() function would join my grid and data tables as specified in DATA. The grid geometry (POINTS) are in a separate table than the data (values I want returned from a query). The query code is coming from the pmapper framework. I'll set up a small test case using Mapserver 4.10 and a self made application to see if the same thing happens. Thanks for the response!

OUTPUTFORMAT clause references > driver AGG/GIF, but this driver isn't configured." Fr?d?ric, I think the issue is that AGG produces 24bit output images, not 8bit paletted as supported by GIF. So only 24bit image formats (PNG, JPEG) are available. In theory GIF could be supported by "crushing" the image down to 8bit paletted after rendering is complete, but I think the results would be very unsatisfactory in most cases.

Milo, Yes, that is correct. You do need to give them distinct names, and for protocols like WMS where things are selected by mime type you need to engineer some sort of distinct mime type to make them selectable by FORMAT.

It all depends on personal or business favour, small issues in maintenance and so. I for instance tried to host a mapset at hostGIS, but due to a strange difference in installation with my test server, the datasets turned up corrupted on linux. I then decided to purchase dedicated windows 2003 hosting and set up a mapserver myself with IIS for future use in combination with sharpmap ans asp.net. Our mapserver related business is picking up. Our mapserver is currently serving about 1000 map requests per day. Expectation is that this will reach 5000 within the next month. The main thing we are currently investigating is setting up tile caching to speed up request/response. My guess is that 5 paying customers will turn a profit on the first dedicated server, currently we have 2. 10 customers may be the limit, but this is a wild guess. When we reach 5 paying customers, we will set up the next dedicated server. This is the approach we are going to take. Loadbalancing is a webserver related matter. This has nothing to do with mapserver directly. I have also contacted 52north to set up a secured service for mapserver. They have succesfull implementations of WSS and WAS on top of WMS. So the main question to ask is; - What do you need right now for the actual demand? I wouldn't worry too much about growing larger in the future, this issue will solve itself at that time, look for load balancing when it looks like it might become an issue. Manage your system(s) with care, watch the stats, watch the response times per request. And then decide what to do to keep on track to fullfill demand. This is an ongoing process.

I understand that the requirements are the limit and the driving force. So here is what we are up against and maybe that will help. We have been given a requirement to support 5000 simultaneous users. What we are finding is that MapServer bogs down around 400 simultaneous users on a test machine. It looks like it is likely slowing because of the threading issue. We haven't tested on a production machine but are estimating that it should support double what are test machine could handle (double the processor and RAM). So at least 800 simultaneous users. Divide that out with the 5000 and we need a minimum of 6-7 web servers supporting MapServer. We will certainly scale this as is needed but I do need some idea going in as to what is going to be required. Does this sound like results that others expect or is this quantity above what others have tested? Also Does anyone know of a solution in the works to run make mapserver thread safe and/or up the overall speed? I am not complaining about the speed just wondering what is in the works. Thanks again.

It all depends on personal or business favour, small issues in maintenance and so. I for instance tried to host a mapset at hostGIS, but due to a strange difference in installation with my test server, the datasets turned up corrupted on linux. I then decided to purchase dedicated windows 2003 hosting and set up a mapserver myself with IIS for future use in combination with sharpmap ans asp.net. Our mapserver related business is picking up. Our mapserver is currently serving about 1000 map requests per day. Expectation is that this will reach 5000 within the next month. The main thing we are currently investigating is setting up tile caching to speed up request/response. My guess is that 5 paying customers will turn a profit on the first dedicated server, currently we have 2. 10 customers may be the limit, but this is a wild guess. When we reach 5 paying customers, we will set up the next dedicated server. This is the approach we are going to take. Loadbalancing is a webserver related matter. This has nothing to do with mapserver directly. I have also contacted 52north to set up a secured service for mapserver. They have succesfull implementations of WSS and WAS on top of WMS. So the main question to ask is; - What do you need right now for the actual demand? I wouldn't worry too much about growing larger in the future, this issue will solve itself at that time, look for load balancing when it looks like it might become an issue. Manage your system(s) with care, watch the stats, watch the response times per request. And then decide what to do to keep on track to fullfill demand. This is an ongoing process. Bruce Cheney schreef: Hello all. I am trying to find a typical system configuration for a mapserver website. I have looked without any luck (could be I haven't looked in the correct location). Can anyone recommend a typical configuration. In other words: do you recommend a load balance server, # of Application Servers, # of DB servers, etc. I realize this may be application specific but some general guidelines would be really helpful. For example, for an application server where MapServer is the predominant resource user how many concurrent users could it be expected to handle? Many thanks in advance for any input.

In various aspects MapServer is already thread safe though there are also known "unsafe" components, and some components are wrapped by big locks that significantly reduce the value of multiple threads. Progress occurs by fits and starts, largely based on support from user organizations depending on multi-threading. For instance, in 5.0 I implement locking around OGR for a client of mine in Australia. (This is a subtle way of suggesting you hire someone to make this happen if it is what you want!) All this aside, by default MapServer is *massively multi-threaded*. I say this since the default operation is to start a new cgi instance for each request - each is essentially an independent thread. Of course, the downside of whole-process cgi style multithreading is that very little context is preserved from request to request. Map files, data file headers, etc all need to be reparsed for each request. My point here is that you need to think carefully about the application flow to take much advantage of multiple threading within a single process. Also, if I may channel Ed, if you wanted to squeeze more performance out of mapserver, you really need to start by figuring out what it is spending it's time doing. Where is it spending it's time? o waiting for disk? (perhaps you are reading more data than you need?) o rendering (perhaps your data is overdense, or you are using expensive rendering options?) o parsing mapfiles (perhaps you mapfile has too many unused layers?) etc. Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | President OSGeo, http://osgeo.org From mlinden at ZEELANDNET.NL Wed Nov 7 18:06:08 2007 From: mlinden at ZEELANDNET.NL (Milo van der Linden) Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2007 03:06:08 +0100 Subject: System Configuration In-Reply-To: <473265A8.2030101@pobox.com> Message-ID: Another option I am currently investigating for the static components of my maps is tilecache (google it).

It is certainly true that a bit of experience and contemplation can help you discover optimization opportunities that aren't immediately self-evident. Can you describe the nature of your map application? Are you using raster data, vector data, or both? What size is your data, in numbers of features and/or files? What kind of disk subsystem is being used? Is there layer reprojection going on? Generalizations are rarely helpful (except for this one). It's like being told the average man is 5' 7" tall - it tells you nothing about how tall I am. MapServer performance depends on a number of factors, but the best place to start is a detailed understanding of what exactly you're trying to do with MapServer. It would be most helpful to us if you could post your map file and a sample URL request, preferably one that is externally (publicly) visible. And can you define what you mean by "simultaneous" users? Do you mean 5,000 map requests all being generated at exactly the same time? Or do you mean 5,000 human users asking for a new map every X seconds or so? And if the latter, what value are you using for X? - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA? 01863 Phone: 978-251-4242, Fax: 978-251-1396 ed at topozone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Frank Warmerdam Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 8:26 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration Bruce Cheney wrote: > We have been given a requirement to support 5000 simultaneous users. > What we are finding is that MapServer bogs down around 400 simultaneous > users on a test machine.

I don't have a local setup of MapServer running, but use a few public available services at the web. Those are: * http://map.ns.ec.gc.ca/MapServer/mapserv.exe?map=/mapserver/services/envdat/config.map (MapServer 4.8.3) * http://www.bsc-eoc.org/cgi-bin/bsc_ows.asp (MapServer 4.8.1) Our WFS client supports both GET and POST requests. It checks the Capabilities document which HTTP method to use. The document of the first service can be found here: http://map.ns.ec.gc.ca/MapServer/mapserv.exe?map=/mapserver/services/envdat/config.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&. GetCapabilities is always done with GET, but other requests can vary. For testing purposes I made POST the default HTTP method for the requests. When I try to do a DescribeFeatureType or a GetFeature to these services with POST, I'm getting the following message: MapServer Message mapserv(): Web application error. No template provided.
The Capabilites document lists the online resource URL's for DescribeFeatureType and GetFeature, so POST should be allowed for these WFS requests. I'm sure that the WFS request is correct, since it works with other WFS servers, like Geoserver, and Oracle Spatial Web Services, and I can not find anything that might be wrong on my side. Here is the raw request (headers + post data): POST /envdat/map.aspx HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: text/xml Host: map.ns.ec.gc.ca Content-Length: 579 Expect: 100-continue Proxy-Connection: Close wfs:envirodat While searching the mailing list, I found replies of people suggesting that WFS might not be enabled (MapServer not compiled with WFS support), but since WFS requests with GET work fine, this is obviously not the case. I also found another suggestion here: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S2=MAPSERVER-USERS&q=wfs+post+template&s=&f=&a=&b=. It is suggested to add the parameters "service=WFS" and "version=1.0.0" to the URL for POST, but this doesn't work either. Maybe I would need to test with a more recent build, but I couldn't find one at the web. But this would mean that I have to change the online resource URL, but the correct URL cannot be predicted. The correct URL to post to should be mentioned in the Capabilities document. The second service (www.bsc-eoc.org) returned the same reply with the parameters, but the first service (at map.ns.ec.gc.ca) returned this: msWFSDispatch(): WFS server error. Incomplete WFS request: REQUEST parameter missing If I would add the Request parameter, then it would be WFS / GET again, and that's not what I want. (Well, I normally do, but this is for testing purposes.) I was getting similar responses with GetFeature, but since I changed my code, the WFS client doesn't come that far (because DescribeFeatureType doesn't work) anymore. Since there are no problems with GET requests, our client can successfully query data. But since POST is also available, I would expect it to work as well. I hope that someone can look into this. If POST really causes problems, it would be better to remove the associated online resource URL's from the Capabilities document. Regards, Frank Steggink Bentley Systems, Inc.

MapServer needs at least something in the URL itself to be able to tell that it's a WFS request, otherwise it assumes by default that it is a traditional mapserv CGI request, hence the "no template provided" error. I am realizing just now that it may not be correct according to the WFS spec to require that WFS clients include the SERVICE=WFS GET parameter in the case of POST requests. If that's the case then perhaps you could file a ticket to have this fixed in future releases of Mapserver. The simple fix would be for MapServer to automatically include the SERVICE=WFS in the onlineresource advertized in GetCapabilities and hten clients would pick it up automatically.

I've tried your suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't work. I'm getting the following ServiceException: msWFSDispatch(): WFS server error. Incomplete WFS request: VERSION parameter missing The URL is http://map.ns.ec.gc.ca/envdat/map.aspx?SERVICE=WFS& and the post data is the same as in the original message. It really looks like MapServer only accepts GET request for WFS. So, the simple fix you suggested will probably not be enough. I'm going to file a ticket. In case something needs to be tested, please let me know. Frank From Tim.Nolte at IPCSWIRELESSINC.COM Thu Nov 8 08:30:18 2007 From: Tim.Nolte at IPCSWIRELESSINC.COM (Nolte, Tim) Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2007 11:30:18 -0500 Subject: Layer Order and Labels Message-ID: I have a feature on m MapServer where someone can geocode and address and plot that on the map. The problem I have is that most often the street name label covers up the point(symbol). How can I force the point to be over top the street layers label. I've already got the point set as the top most layer in my mapfile. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will see if I can catch them all. A bit on the nature of the application. * We are only using vector data (we assumed that the raster would slow it down). * We are serving many different maps stored separately with the same composition of layers. Each map has 6 layers (4 polygon and 2 point layers for labeling). * Each of the different map sets has differing quantities of features. For the most significant layers they average around 10,000 features but may be as high as 100,000. * A majority of the requests are to display a small area of one of the maps so the rendering focuses in to a few features. The user will query a database which will allow for viewing the map that is zoomed to the area of interest. * No layer reprojecting (we assumed this would also slow it down). * The output map is PNG with dimensions 419 X 403. * We are using PHP_mapscript to generate the requests. The parameters for the map generation come from a database and the user requested location. So there are a few lines of code to find the location on the map and generate the images. * The mapfile contains about 12 layers. Several layers to display the primary polygon layer thematically and a couple extra to show the polygons with outlines. * Data is stored in Shapefiles I made attempts to stream-line the use of extra features to ensure the speed. I certainly may be using items that hurt instead of help. Here is the mapfile. Now that I look at the mapfile there may be a couple items that I originally had intended to use but are now just relics and time wasters. <> Now as for the users. We are assuming 5000 simultaneous - all at the same instant. This would assume a substantially larger group of users accessing the site at the same time. We assume this to be the peak stress for Stage 1 of the app. Bruce - My channeling sensors went off when Frank rang . It is certainly true that a bit of experience and contemplation can help you discover optimization opportunities that aren't immediately self-evident. Can you describe the nature of your map application? Are you using raster data, vector data, or both? What size is your data, in numbers of features and/or files? What kind of disk subsystem is being used? Is there layer reprojection going on? Generalizations are rarely helpful (except for this one). It's like being told the average man is 5' 7" tall - it tells you nothing about how tall I am. MapServer performance depends on a number of factors, but the best place to start is a detailed understanding of what exactly you're trying to do with MapServer. It would be most helpful to us if you could post your map file and a sample URL request, preferably one that is externally (publicly) visible. And can you define what you mean by "simultaneous" users? Do you mean 5,000 map requests all being generated at exactly the same time? Or do you mean 5,000 human users asking for a new map every X seconds or so? And if the latter, what value are you using for X? - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: 978-251-4242, Fax: 978-251-1396 ed at topozone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Frank Warmerdam Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 8:26 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration Bruce Cheney wrote: > We have been given a requirement to support 5000 simultaneous users. > What we are finding is that MapServer bogs down around 400 > simultaneous users on a test machine.

Also Does anyone know of a solution in > the works to run make mapserver thread safe and/or up the overall > speed? I am not complaining about the speed just wondering what is in > the works. In various aspects MapServer is already thread safe though there are also known "unsafe" components, and some components are wrapped by big locks that significantly reduce the value of multiple threads. Progress occurs by fits and starts, largely based on support from user organizations depending on multi-threading. For instance, in 5.0 I implement locking around OGR for a client of mine in Australia. (This is a subtle way of suggesting you hire someone to make this happen if it is what you want!) All this aside, by default MapServer is *massively multi-threaded*. I say this since the default operation is to start a new cgi instance for each request - each is essentially an independent thread. Of course, the downside of whole-process cgi style multithreading is that very little context is preserved from request to request. Map files, data file headers, etc all need to be reparsed for each request. My point here is that you need to think carefully about the application flow to take much advantage of multiple threading within a single process. Also, if I may channel Ed, if you wanted to squeeze more performance out of mapserver, you really need to start by figuring out what it is spending it's time doing. Where is it spending it's time? o waiting for disk? (perhaps you are reading more data than you need?) o rendering (perhaps your data is overdense, or you are using expensive rendering options?) o parsing mapfiles (perhaps you mapfile has too many unused layers?) etc. Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------- ---------------------------------------+------ I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | President OSGeo, http://osgeo.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have wfs server (the url is http://wfs.alaskamapped.org//inventory? ). It appears to work, but a number of things that folks normally do in arcgis/arcmap/arcwhatever with other data sources do not work and generate a "This operation failed because the database table does not have a numeric index" error message. I am somewhat baffled by this, as this error message is generated when you use the "Select Feature" tool or try to view the WFS as a table - pretty basic stuff that users will want to do. I am not sure if this is a problem with my mapfile, a problem with arcgis, or just a limit of using (or my understanding of) WFS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If your estimate the average user will look at a map for 10 seconds before requesting another one, you're talking about 50,000 simultaneous human users. Thanks for posting the map file - that helps. There is one huge thing you should be aware of and think about right away - the difference between mode=browse and mode=map. If you are using browse mode with an HTML template (as it appears you are) you should reconsider that decision. When you use MapServer in browse mode, it needs to generate the map image, legend image, etc. and then write them all to a local disk before returning an HTML template to the client with the URLs of those images embedded in it. Writing to disk is the slowest thing you can do on your server. Having 5,000 simultaneous disk writes, with simultaneous reads to the same disk, is very nearly pure evil. That is a huge drag on performance. You really can't sustain nearly as many users on a given machine in browse mode as you could in map mode. What kind of disk subsystem is being used for the temp files? Map mode (mode=map) is a simple HTTP request for an image, and the image, after being built, is sent directly to the client with no disk I/O involved. Much nicer. Much faster. If you must use browse mode, then I'd suggest you create a RAM disk to hold the temp images, with appropriate monitoring to clean out old files promptly. But can you pre-build a set of legends, etc. so you can just embed those and not crank them out every time? You can also get some benefit from storing our input shapefiles on a RAM disk, but don't devote any RAM to that purpose if you're still writing temp files to hard disk. Let me first toss off a few generic suggestions that probably won't help much but are worth doing: 1. Get rid of unused fonts in your font file. MapServer will reach out and touch each one for each map request. 2. If your shapefiles don't change often, preprocess them to create a separate shapefile for each CLASS, so you don't have to filter as much. 3. If you must use CLASSes, organize them so the most commonly-used class comes first in each LAYER. 4. If you have a certain number of combinations of shapefiles used in a given request, create multiple map files with only those layers. For example, if your 12 layers are one set of 4 base layers that are always used, and then 8 more layers only one of which is displayed at a time, create 8 map files, each with only 5 layers instead of 12 - the four base layers and one specific overlay layer. Then use your application code to figure out which map file to select. And make sure you're using shptree to generate spatial indexes for all your shapefiles! This looks like it should be an application capable of running pretty darn quickly. - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com Phone: +1 (978) 251-4242 Fax: +1 (978) 251-1396 From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Bruce Cheney Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 12:17 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration Many good questions. I will see if I can catch them all. A bit on the nature of the application. * We are only using vector data (we assumed that the raster would slow it down). * We are serving many different maps stored separately with the same composition of layers. Each map has 6 layers (4 polygon and 2 point layers for labeling). * Each of the different map sets has differing quantities of features. For the most significant layers they average around 10,000 features but may be as high as 100,000. * A majority of the requests are to display a small area of one of the maps so the rendering focuses in to a few features. The user will query a database which will allow for viewing the map that is zoomed to the area of interest. * No layer reprojecting (we assumed this would also slow it down). * The output map is PNG with dimensions 419 X 403. * We are using PHP_mapscript to generate the requests. The parameters for the map generation come from a database and the user requested location. So there are a few lines of code to find the location on the map and generate the images. * The mapfile contains about 12 layers. Several layers to display the primary polygon layer thematically and a couple extra to show the polygons with outlines. * Data is stored in Shapefiles I made attempts to stream-line the use of extra features to ensure the speed. I certainly may be using items that hurt instead of help. Here is the mapfile. Now that I look at the mapfile there may be a couple items that I originally had intended to use but are now just relics and time wasters. <> Now as for the users. We are assuming 5000 simultaneous - all at the same instant. This would assume a substantially larger group of users accessing the site at the same time. We assume this to be the peak stress for Stage 1 of the app. Bruce - My channeling sensors went off when Frank rang . It is certainly true that a bit of experience and contemplation can help you discover optimization opportunities that aren't immediately self-evident. Can you describe the nature of your map application? Are you using raster data, vector data, or both? What size is your data, in numbers of features and/or files? What kind of disk subsystem is being used? Is there layer reprojection going on? Generalizations are rarely helpful (except for this one). It's like being told the average man is 5' 7" tall - it tells you nothing about how tall I am. MapServer performance depends on a number of factors, but the best place to start is a detailed understanding of what exactly you're trying to do with MapServer. It would be most helpful to us if you could post your map file and a sample URL request, preferably one that is externally (publicly) visible. And can you define what you mean by "simultaneous" users? Do you mean 5,000 map requests all being generated at exactly the same time? Or do you mean 5,000 human users asking for a new map every X seconds or so? And if the latter, what value are you using for X? - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: 978-251-4242, Fax: 978-251-1396 ed at topozone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU ] On Behalf Of Frank Warmerdam Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 8:26 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration Bruce Cheney wrote: > We have been given a requirement to support 5000 simultaneous users. > What we are finding is that MapServer bogs down around 400 > simultaneous users on a test machine.

In various aspects MapServer is already thread safe though there are also known "unsafe" components, and some components are wrapped by big locks that significantly reduce the value of multiple threads. Progress occurs by fits and starts, largely based on support from user organizations depending on multi-threading. For instance, in 5.0 I implement locking around OGR for a client of mine in Australia. (This is a subtle way of suggesting you hire someone to make this happen if it is what you want!) All this aside, by default MapServer is *massively multi-threaded*. I say this since the default operation is to start a new cgi instance for each request - each is essentially an independent thread. Of course, the downside of whole-process cgi style multithreading is that very little context is preserved from request to request. Map files, data file headers, etc all need to be reparsed for each request. My point here is that you need to think carefully about the application flow to take much advantage of multiple threading within a single process. Also, if I may channel Ed, if you wanted to squeeze more performance out of mapserver, you really need to start by figuring out what it is spending it's time doing. Where is it spending it's time? o waiting for disk? (perhaps you are reading more data than you need?) o rendering (perhaps your data is overdense, or you are using expensive rendering options?) o parsing mapfiles (perhaps you mapfile has too many unused layers?) etc. Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------- ---------------------------------------+------ I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | President OSGeo, http://osgeo.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Very insightful. Yes expectations are 50,000 users at least at the same time. Disk subsystem RAID 10 and NTFS. Changing the mode sounds like a very good idea and I am guilty as charged - I am writing to temporary files on the server. I have a gut feel that this is the big slowdown in our application. I could not find where to change the mode that you talk about. Somehow slipping through the fingers . . . I must have to alter this process that I am using: 1. Image generated using PHP with calls $map->draw() and $image->saveWebImage() 2. Definition of storage location in the mapfile by properties ImagePath and ImageURL 3. The image name and path are substituted in my HTML code generation by referencing the name generated in 1 above. What part am I missing? Can I somehow have the image generated and saved on the users machine directly and reference that instead? Now I am showing some lack of understanding for sure. All your suggestions are great. Makes perfect sense, anything that can use direct access instead of having to filter and process improves the speed. Thanks again.

If your estimate the average user will look at a map for 10 seconds before requesting another one, you're talking about 50,000 simultaneous human users. Thanks for posting the map file - that helps. There is one huge thing you should be aware of and think about right away - the difference between mode=browse and mode=map. If you are using browse mode with an HTML template (as it appears you are) you should reconsider that decision. When you use MapServer in browse mode, it needs to generate the map image, legend image, etc. and then write them all to a local disk before returning an HTML template to the client with the URLs of those images embedded in it. Writing to disk is the slowest thing you can do on your server. Having 5,000 simultaneous disk writes, with simultaneous reads to the same disk, is very nearly pure evil. That is a huge drag on performance. You really can't sustain nearly as many users on a given machine in browse mode as you could in map mode. What kind of disk subsystem is being used for the temp files? Map mode (mode=map) is a simple HTTP request for an image, and the image, after being built, is sent directly to the client with no disk I/O involved. Much nicer. Much faster. If you must use browse mode, then I'd suggest you create a RAM disk to hold the temp images, with appropriate monitoring to clean out old files promptly. But can you pre-build a set of legends, etc. so you can just embed those and not crank them out every time? You can also get some benefit from storing our input shapefiles on a RAM disk, but don't devote any RAM to that purpose if you're still writing temp files to hard disk. Let me first toss off a few generic suggestions that probably won't help much but are worth doing: 1. Get rid of unused fonts in your font file. MapServer will reach out and touch each one for each map request. 2. If your shapefiles don't change often, preprocess them to create a separate shapefile for each CLASS, so you don't have to filter as much. 3. If you must use CLASSes, organize them so the most commonly-used class comes first in each LAYER. 4. If you have a certain number of combinations of shapefiles used in a given request, create multiple map files with only those layers. For example, if your 12 layers are one set of 4 base layers that are always used, and then 8 more layers only one of which is displayed at a time, create 8 map files, each with only 5 layers instead of 12 - the four base layers and one specific overlay layer. Then use your application code to figure out which map file to select. And make sure you're using shptree to generate spatial indexes for all your shapefiles! This looks like it should be an application capable of running pretty darn quickly. - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com Phone: +1 (978) 251-4242 Fax: +1 (978) 251-1396 From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Bruce Cheney Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 12:17 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration Many good questions. I will see if I can catch them all. A bit on the nature of the application. * We are only using vector data (we assumed that the raster would slow it down). * We are serving many different maps stored separately with the same composition of layers. Each map has 6 layers (4 polygon and 2 point layers for labeling). * Each of the different map sets has differing quantities of features. For the most significant layers they average around 10,000 features but may be as high as 100,000. * A majority of the requests are to display a small area of one of the maps so the rendering focuses in to a few features. The user will query a database which will allow for viewing the map that is zoomed to the area of interest. * No layer reprojecting (we assumed this would also slow it down). * The output map is PNG with dimensions 419 X 403. * We are using PHP_mapscript to generate the requests. The parameters for the map generation come from a database and the user requested location. So there are a few lines of code to find the location on the map and generate the images. * The mapfile contains about 12 layers. Several layers to display the primary polygon layer thematically and a couple extra to show the polygons with outlines. * Data is stored in Shapefiles I made attempts to stream-line the use of extra features to ensure the speed. I certainly may be using items that hurt instead of help. Here is the mapfile. Now that I look at the mapfile there may be a couple items that I originally had intended to use but are now just relics and time wasters. <> Now as for the users. We are assuming 5000 simultaneous - all at the same instant. This would assume a substantially larger group of users accessing the site at the same time. We assume this to be the peak stress for Stage 1 of the app. Bruce - My channeling sensors went off when Frank rang . It is certainly true that a bit of experience and contemplation can help you discover optimization opportunities that aren't immediately self-evident. Can you describe the nature of your map application? Are you using raster data, vector data, or both? What size is your data, in numbers of features and/or files? What kind of disk subsystem is being used? Is there layer reprojection going on? Generalizations are rarely helpful (except for this one). It's like being told the average man is 5' 7" tall - it tells you nothing about how tall I am. MapServer performance depends on a number of factors, but the best place to start is a detailed understanding of what exactly you're trying to do with MapServer. It would be most helpful to us if you could post your map file and a sample URL request, preferably one that is externally (publicly) visible. And can you define what you mean by "simultaneous" users? Do you mean 5,000 map requests all being generated at exactly the same time? Or do you mean 5,000 human users asking for a new map every X seconds or so? And if the latter, what value are you using for X? - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: 978-251-4242, Fax: 978-251-1396 ed at topozone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU ] On Behalf Of Frank Warmerdam Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 8:26 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration Bruce Cheney wrote: > We have been given a requirement to support 5000 simultaneous users. > What we are finding is that MapServer bogs down around 400 > simultaneous users on a test machine.

In various aspects MapServer is already thread safe though there are also known "unsafe" components, and some components are wrapped by big locks that significantly reduce the value of multiple threads. Progress occurs by fits and starts, largely based on support from user organizations depending on multi-threading. For instance, in 5.0 I implement locking around OGR for a client of mine in Australia. (This is a subtle way of suggesting you hire someone to make this happen if it is what you want!) All this aside, by default MapServer is *massively multi-threaded*. I say this since the default operation is to start a new cgi instance for each request - each is essentially an independent thread. Of course, the downside of whole-process cgi style multithreading is that very little context is preserved from request to request. Map files, data file headers, etc all need to be reparsed for each request. My point here is that you need to think carefully about the application flow to take much advantage of multiple threading within a single process. Also, if I may channel Ed, if you wanted to squeeze more performance out of mapserver, you really need to start by figuring out what it is spending it's time doing. Where is it spending it's time? o waiting for disk? (perhaps you are reading more data than you need?) o rendering (perhaps your data is overdense, or you are using expensive rendering options?) o parsing mapfiles (perhaps you mapfile has too many unused layers?) etc. Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------- ---------------------------------------+------ I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | President OSGeo, http://osgeo.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A RAID 10 array is about your best choice for this kind of situation (the more disks the better), but you're fundamentally limited in that only so many simultaneous reads/writes can be handled by one disk. And since disk seeks are the slowest thing you can do, that's going to hang you up. If you have a disk with a 10ms random seek time, and you're jumping around doing random, small, reads and writes to satisfy many users, then even if the reads and writes themselves are free you're not going to be able to do more than 100 10ms seeks a second. Switching from mode=browse to mode=map (I'm using the CGI querystring parameter syntax) will make a huge difference - although it may well expose something else entirely as your new bottleneck! - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com Phone: +1 (978) 251-4242 Fax: +1 (978) 251-1396 From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Bruce Cheney Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 6:31 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration - [SPAM] Email found in subject Ed, I very much appreciate your help. Very insightful. Yes expectations are 50,000 users at least at the same time. Disk subsystem RAID 10 and NTFS. Changing the mode sounds like a very good idea and I am guilty as charged - I am writing to temporary files on the server. I have a gut feel that this is the big slowdown in our application. I could not find where to change the mode that you talk about. Somehow slipping through the fingers . . . I must have to alter this process that I am using: 1. Image generated using PHP with calls $map->draw() and $image->saveWebImage() 2. Definition of storage location in the mapfile by properties ImagePath and ImageURL 3. The image name and path are substituted in my HTML code generation by referencing the name generated in 1 above. What part am I missing? Can I somehow have the image generated and saved on the users machine directly and reference that instead? Now I am showing some lack of understanding for sure. All your suggestions are great. Makes perfect sense, anything that can use direct access instead of having to filter and process improves the speed. Thanks again.

If your estimate the average user will look at a map for 10 seconds before requesting another one, you're talking about 50,000 simultaneous human users. Thanks for posting the map file - that helps. There is one huge thing you should be aware of and think about right away - the difference between mode=browse and mode=map. If you are using browse mode with an HTML template (as it appears you are) you should reconsider that decision. When you use MapServer in browse mode, it needs to generate the map image, legend image, etc. and then write them all to a local disk before returning an HTML template to the client with the URLs of those images embedded in it. Writing to disk is the slowest thing you can do on your server. Having 5,000 simultaneous disk writes, with simultaneous reads to the same disk, is very nearly pure evil. That is a huge drag on performance. You really can't sustain nearly as many users on a given machine in browse mode as you could in map mode. What kind of disk subsystem is being used for the temp files? Map mode (mode=map) is a simple HTTP request for an image, and the image, after being built, is sent directly to the client with no disk I/O involved. Much nicer. Much faster. If you must use browse mode, then I'd suggest you create a RAM disk to hold the temp images, with appropriate monitoring to clean out old files promptly. But can you pre-build a set of legends, etc. so you can just embed those and not crank them out every time? You can also get some benefit from storing our input shapefiles on a RAM disk, but don't devote any RAM to that purpose if you're still writing temp files to hard disk. Let me first toss off a few generic suggestions that probably won't help much but are worth doing: 1. Get rid of unused fonts in your font file. MapServer will reach out and touch each one for each map request. 2. If your shapefiles don't change often, preprocess them to create a separate shapefile for each CLASS, so you don't have to filter as much. 3. If you must use CLASSes, organize them so the most commonly-used class comes first in each LAYER. 4. If you have a certain number of combinations of shapefiles used in a given request, create multiple map files with only those layers. For example, if your 12 layers are one set of 4 base layers that are always used, and then 8 more layers only one of which is displayed at a time, create 8 map files, each with only 5 layers instead of 12 - the four base layers and one specific overlay layer. Then use your application code to figure out which map file to select. And make sure you're using shptree to generate spatial indexes for all your shapefiles! This looks like it should be an application capable of running pretty darn quickly. - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com Phone: +1 (978) 251-4242 Fax: +1 (978) 251-1396 From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Bruce Cheney Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 12:17 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration Many good questions. I will see if I can catch them all. A bit on the nature of the application. * We are only using vector data (we assumed that the raster would slow it down). * We are serving many different maps stored separately with the same composition of layers. Each map has 6 layers (4 polygon and 2 point layers for labeling). * Each of the different map sets has differing quantities of features. For the most significant layers they average around 10,000 features but may be as high as 100,000. * A majority of the requests are to display a small area of one of the maps so the rendering focuses in to a few features. The user will query a database which will allow for viewing the map that is zoomed to the area of interest. * No layer reprojecting (we assumed this would also slow it down). * The output map is PNG with dimensions 419 X 403. * We are using PHP_mapscript to generate the requests. The parameters for the map generation come from a database and the user requested location. So there are a few lines of code to find the location on the map and generate the images. * The mapfile contains about 12 layers. Several layers to display the primary polygon layer thematically and a couple extra to show the polygons with outlines. * Data is stored in Shapefiles I made attempts to stream-line the use of extra features to ensure the speed. I certainly may be using items that hurt instead of help. Here is the mapfile. Now that I look at the mapfile there may be a couple items that I originally had intended to use but are now just relics and time wasters. <> Now as for the users. We are assuming 5000 simultaneous - all at the same instant. This would assume a substantially larger group of users accessing the site at the same time. We assume this to be the peak stress for Stage 1 of the app. Bruce - My channeling sensors went off when Frank rang . It is certainly true that a bit of experience and contemplation can help you discover optimization opportunities that aren't immediately self-evident. Can you describe the nature of your map application? Are you using raster data, vector data, or both? What size is your data, in numbers of features and/or files? What kind of disk subsystem is being used? Is there layer reprojection going on? Generalizations are rarely helpful (except for this one). It's like being told the average man is 5' 7" tall - it tells you nothing about how tall I am. MapServer performance depends on a number of factors, but the best place to start is a detailed understanding of what exactly you're trying to do with MapServer. It would be most helpful to us if you could post your map file and a sample URL request, preferably one that is externally (publicly) visible. And can you define what you mean by "simultaneous" users? Do you mean 5,000 map requests all being generated at exactly the same time? Or do you mean 5,000 human users asking for a new map every X seconds or so? And if the latter, what value are you using for X? - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: 978-251-4242, Fax: 978-251-1396 ed at topozone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU ] On Behalf Of Frank Warmerdam Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 8:26 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] System Configuration Bruce Cheney wrote: > We have been given a requirement to support 5000 simultaneous users. > What we are finding is that MapServer bogs down around 400 > simultaneous users on a test machine.

In various aspects MapServer is already thread safe though there are also known "unsafe" components, and some components are wrapped by big locks that significantly reduce the value of multiple threads. Progress occurs by fits and starts, largely based on support from user organizations depending on multi-threading. For instance, in 5.0 I implement locking around OGR for a client of mine in Australia. (This is a subtle way of suggesting you hire someone to make this happen if it is what you want!) All this aside, by default MapServer is *massively multi-threaded*. I say this since the default operation is to start a new cgi instance for each request - each is essentially an independent thread. Of course, the downside of whole-process cgi style multithreading is that very little context is preserved from request to request. Map files, data file headers, etc all need to be reparsed for each request. My point here is that you need to think carefully about the application flow to take much advantage of multiple threading within a single process. Also, if I may channel Ed, if you wanted to squeeze more performance out of mapserver, you really need to start by figuring out what it is spending it's time doing. Where is it spending it's time? o waiting for disk? (perhaps you are reading more data than you need?) o rendering (perhaps your data is overdense, or you are using expensive rendering options?) o parsing mapfiles (perhaps you mapfile has too many unused layers?) etc. Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------- ---------------------------------------+------ I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | President OSGeo, http://osgeo.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I made another trial with CadCorp SIS browser, which often gives some information about what is going wrong. This time it does not help a bit, because both GET and POST requests are going through. With the OpenJUMP plugin development most often we had problems with namespaces etc. Plugin was first done for deegree WFS, and Geoserver folks were doing some WFS things in another way. Plus MapServer in third, frustrating. And all more difficult it seems to be with WFS 1.1.0 version. I do not know why client is generating wfs:Query xmlns:null="null" but perhaps there is something wrong. -Jukka- ________________________________ L?hett?j?: UMN MapServer Users List puolesta: Frank Steggink L?hetetty: pe 9.11.2007 16:40 Vastaanottaja: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Aihe: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] FW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WFS POST requests: "No template provided" error -----Original Message----- From: Frank Steggink Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 09:40 To: 'Rahkonen Jukka' Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WFS POST requests: "No template provided" error Jukka, Can you try the URL's from my follow up post?

Frank -----Original Message----- From: Rahkonen Jukka [mailto:Jukka.Rahkonen at mmmtike.fi] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 09:37 To: Frank Steggink; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WFS POST requests: "No template provided" error Hi, I made a test with OpenJUMP WFS plugin (http://openjump.org ) that is using only POST method. For the first link GetCapabilities goes OK, but the plugin cannot parse the response correctly. Because of that I cannot send DescribeFeatureType, but when I tried GetFeature I got also "No template provided" error. This is the request that OpenJUMP plugin is generating: And this is the response: MapServer Messagemapserv(): Web application error. No template provided.
The result is the same with the other URL. OpenJUMP plugin was developed against GeoServer version 1.5, and with that it works rather well, despite sometimes parsing errors with certain data types (time, decimal). However, is has always had problems with all MapServer based WFS services, including my own ones. As its best I can get GetCapabilities and even GetFeature through, but there has always been some problems with parsing the capabilities right, and with DescribeFeatureType. The plugin has some tools for debugging so if someone sends me URLs I may try those and see what happens. -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________ L?hett?j?: UMN MapServer Users List puolesta: Frank Steggink L?hetetty: pe 9.11.2007 15:43 Vastaanottaja: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Aihe: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WFS POST requests: "No template provided" error Hello Yewondwossen, Sorry, no improvement here. I'm not getting an error, but I got a time out, while posting (DescribeFeatureType) to the original server URL (http://map.ns.ec.gc.ca/MapServer/mapserv.exe?map=/mapserver/services/en vdat/config.map). Also, the other service I mentioned, http://www.bsc-eoc.org/cgi-bin/bsc_ows.asp, uses this same URL as online resources, which already gave the template error. I'm a bit out of options right now. As already mentioned, when I'm using GET, then everything works fine, so our client will be able to access MapServer. I'll try a few other MapServer WFS's, and see what they do. (Using POST, and the online resource URL's.) There are quite a lot of them online. If they all give the same result, then I'm going to file a bug in Trac. It is no coincidence if several servers, which are set up independently, all have the same problem.

This map.aspx apparently fails to forward POST information properly. This is NOT a MapServer problem, it is a configuration problem specific to this server.

However, it doesn't work if I put the post data on the command line. So it is probably a client issue after all. Since curl's documentation mentions that the data should be URL escaped, that is likely the problem. I'm not doing that for the WFS client, since it gave too much problems with other servers. It will be a tough and bumpy ride to get this working for all servers. I guess this is also Jukka's problem. Yet another server quirk to deal with...

This morning I mentioned I got a timeout (and later a 502 error) when I was posting to http://map.ns.ec.gc.ca/MapServer/mapserv.exe?map=/mapserver/services/env dat/config.map. Well, it turned out that it depends on the presence of carriage returns in the post data if it will succeed or not. Posting this will succeed (all on one line): wfs: envirodat Posting this will not: wfs:envirodat The post data is not URL encoded. And posting the successful post body to http://map.ns.ec.gc.ca/envdat/map.aspx gives the infamous "no template provided" error.

However, it doesn't work if I put the post data on the command line. So it is probably a client issue after all. Since curl's documentation mentions that the data should be URL escaped, that is likely the problem. I'm not doing that for the WFS client, since it gave too much problems with other servers. It will be a tough and bumpy ride to get this working for all servers. I guess this is also Jukka's problem. Yet another server quirk to deal with...

The server is returning an empty extent in the .gfs file. So I am guessing MapServer doesn't think there are any features in the gml file to draw. There is another feature service I can use and it is working fine. If anyone has a similiar problem, open the .gfs file and look for this tag: 7 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 If the extent coordinates are 0, that is why the features aren't drawing.

The successful candidate will work on-site (our preference) with us (at our Markham, Ontario offices) for the entire length of the engagement. The project is to be implemented using .Net C# technology. The required functionality of the application is: * Basic Navigation (Zoom In / Zoom Out / Pan) * Search capability: o Attributes from layer and joined tables o Overlay using polygon & buffered search * Thematic Mapping: o Using attributes from layer and joined tables o Using search results * Printing to PDF and TIF * Map server integrated with WCS / WFS / WMS * Spatial data will to be imported from Oracle or Shape files If you have the required skills for the above project, please contact us, with the following: * Resume * References (similar projects would be ideal) * Availability * Estimate of effort and cost Note: Please let me know, if I should not be posting these type of messages on this list.

Anyone Interested... In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hello Nathan, Being an open source addict and a C# programmer with good mapserver experience, I strongly suggest you to join the sharpmap project on codeplex.com. We are currently implementing a combination of mapserver, sharpmap and openlayers for a asp.net system and despite the fact that some enhancements to the sharpmap core have to be made we have a strong feeling this will be the solution to our wish; getting a framework up where maps are integrated in .net. Another solution you might give a try is mapwindow, it is also completely .net. I hope that one of these .net open source initiatives can benefit from the fact that your project is able to put effort in it(time and/or money). You of course can benefit from the fact that a lot of the core work has already been done. I would regret it if you would reinvent the wheel without looking at these projects. My personal opinion is that in the end, everyone can benefit from one or two strong opensource projects for GIS in .net, providing stability and continuity.

So I assume there is a native georeferencing data as you call. But the thing is the dataset already has sdw file so there shouldn't be any conflict with gdal. I've googled a little and find out that sdw world files are recognized by gdal and wld files are recognized by mapserver so i tried both and failed to change the extent. MrSID tools change the sdw file not the embedded data I'm afraid. I cannot change the format because of the performance issues. The file that big might cause some problems. I'm not a GIS expert but these layers work fine with GIS software which means their projection and registries match. But GIS software take sdw file into account. Mapserver should do that too. This is either a bug on mapserver - gdal side or I don't have a correctly configured gdal - mapserver which I doubt because I can see the raster image when I set my mapfile to its extent.

Volkan, I take exception to the statements "Mapserver should do that too." and "This is either a bug on mapserver -- gdal side...". The decision whether to use the internal mrsid georeferencing or the .sdw file can be reasonably decided either way. Using the internal information cannot be properly deemed a bug - just a different behavior then you would like. I'm also curious what "GIS software" is. MapServer and GDAL can be considered GIS software, and any GIS software built on GDAL will exhibit the the same behavior (GRASS, QGIS ...). Perhaps you are using some particular other GIS software and find that it's behavior is different? Perhaps you should name it instead of assuming all other GIS software in the world has the behavior you like. Assuming you do not have mrsid compression software (and so you cannot just regenerate the file) another option is to use a VRT wrapper. This is an XML file that makes it easy to modify various metadata, and other supporting information. The steps would be: 1) Create the .vrt file: gdal_translate -of VRT your.sid your.vrt 2) Edit the VRT and modify the elements to match your .sdw file. Hopefully the correspondance between the six numbers in the geotransform and the worldfile will be obvious. 3) Modify your map file to refer to the .vrt file instead of the .sid file.

Dejan, Convert it to GeoTIFF! Seriously, ascii grid files are an interchange format, not a working format. It is surprisingly expensive (from a performance point of view) to parse big ascii files and convert all those numbers into internal binary form. gdal_translate your.asc your.tif If the dataset is large, tiling and overviews (as normal) may be helpful.

One issue is the "number of bins" selected. By default the classification is pre-computed for 65536 possible values which is often overkill. As discussed in (see 2.1.1 in particular): http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data/#classifying-rasters you may find it helpful to reduce the SCALE_BUCKETS value and perhaps even set your own min/max. eg.

Access mode 755 gives only read/execute access to those users, but write access is also needed for the tmp directory. You need to either make the web user the owner of the tmp directory, or use access 775 or 777 (depending on the group setting of the directory). Also make sure that all directories in the path leading to "tmp" are also accessible to the web user. It is common for home directories on Linux to be protected (700) by default, so it's possible that you also need to 'chmod 755 /home/yancho/' to make contents of your home account accessible to the web user.

Message-ID: Hi. I'm using mapserver 4.10.0 and I've noticed that mapserver changes the bbox of incoming WMS-requests. At first I thought there was some inconsistencies with my proj-definitions that caused a small correction when mapserver fetched external WMS-layers. But now I've noticed that mapserver always reduces the width and height of the bounding box with the equivialent of a single pixel, then recenters it. e.g. a BBOX of 950,7975,1450,8725 becomes 950.625,7975.625,1449.375,8724.375 when the imagesize is 400x600. What is the reason for this? Won't this be a problem when generating tiled images, as there will be a 1 pixel wide strip of the map "between" the tiles that aren't plotted? If mapserver needs to use the smaller bbox internally, shouldn't it at least use the original bbox when fetching layers from external WMS- servers? If a layer happens to be cascaded through, say, ten levels of WMS-servers, all running mapserver, then the final bbox could get significantly smaller than the original. Here's a test-script in perl that demonstrates the behaviour: --8<-- #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use mapscript; my $mapfile = "test.map"; my $map = mapscript::mapObj->new( $mapfile ); my $req = mapscript::OWSRequest->new(); $req->setParameter(SERVICE => "WMS"); $req->setParameter(VERSION => "1.1.1"); $req->setParameter(REQUEST => "GetMap"); $req->setParameter(LAYERS => "dummy"); $req->setParameter(STYLES => "default"); $req->setParameter(SRS => "EPSG:32632"); $req->setParameter(BBOX => "950,7975,1450,8725"); $req->setParameter(WIDTH => "400"); $req->setParameter(HEIGHT => "600"); $req->setParameter(EXCEPTIONS => "application/vnd.ogc.se_xml"); $req->setParameter(FORMAT => "image/png"); $map->loadOWSParameters($req); print $map->{extent}->toString(), "\n"; --8<-- and a dummy map-file: --8<-- MAP PROJECTION "init=epsg:32632" END LAYER name "dummy" type polygon END END --8<-- -- Trond Michelsen From trondmm-mapserver at CRUSADERS.NO Tue Nov 13 08:46:58 2007 From: trondmm-mapserver at CRUSADERS.NO (Trond Michelsen) Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 17:46:58 +0100 Subject: Why does mapserver shave off a pixel from the bounding box?

I should probably have looked harder at the source before posting. I just found this in mapwms.c: /* ** WMS extents are edge to edge while MapServer extents are center of ** pixel to center of pixel. Here we try to adjust the WMS extents ** in by half a pixel. We wait till here because we want to ensure we ** are doing this in terms of the correct WIDTH and HEIGHT. */ So, I assume mapserver actually plots everything to the edge of the original BBOX. In that case, I still think it's a bug that the adjusted BBOX is used when fetching layers from remote WMS-servers. I haven't tested with mapserver 5.0 yet, though, but I've looked at the source, and there doesn't seem to be any changes in how mapserver adjusts the extents. -- Trond Michelsen From dmorissette at MAPGEARS.COM Tue Nov 13 08:25:31 2007 From: dmorissette at MAPGEARS.COM (Daniel Morissette) Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 11:25:31 -0500 Subject: Why does mapserver shave off a pixel from the bounding box?

Blank tiles, or tiles with a single color are a valid case in areas with no data or in the middle of very large polygons, so I don't think that would work.

Notwithstanding the vast non-existence of useful Java tutorials on the web, I was able to slap together a rather nice desktop app with most of the bells and whistles one would expect...except for the fact that I don't know where or how to obtain the information (metadata?) associated with shapes. I can query my layers by point, but the TEMPLATE throws me...that works well with the web-based maps but not with a stand-alone desktop app. The info I want, for instance the names and populations of towns, are all in a similarly named dbf file as the shp file. I don't want to distribute the data into a database, nor do I want to fetch an index from the layer and use a non-proprietary java library to break open the dbf to match the data contained therein with my index. So, my question, how would I interrogate shapes (using queryLayerByPoint) in a desktop app?

Yes, I have, and I do have options. One of the things I've noticed is that I can actually get mapserver to generate an error. I just have to get the remote WMS server to generate a broken reply. If the remote WMS returns anything other than application/vnd.ogc.se_xml, mapserver will try to load it as an image. If it isn't an image, mapserver will fail, and return a proper exception. This will actually take care of most of the situations. But mapserver will still generate blank images if it's unable to contact the remote WMS or if it returns any other HTTP status than 200. > While it probably not as efficient you might be able to set up a > cron to watch your cache for new images and do a "gdalinfo -mm" on > each new tile in the cache and delete tiles with only one value (ie > blank tiles). As Daniel said, this won't work, since blank images can be valid as well. In this particular case, the remote WMS-server serves weather data. Precipitation, to be exact. So, if there's no rain or snow in an area, the response will be a blank image. Right now, the simplest solution seems to be to not fetch the weather data through mapserver. Just get the client to fetch the data directly from the other WMS-server. The only problem is that this server doesn't generate transparent images, so I'll need to hack on it a bit to add this functionality. -- Trond Michelsen From porath at WEB.DE Tue Nov 13 23:34:21 2007 From: porath at WEB.DE (H.

What I'd like to know if is there a way of obtaining the data associated with the returned results? Let me give you a clear example: On a layer called "TOWNS" there are points (towns) as appearing in a .map file. The TOWNS.shp file provides me with the actual points. However, there is a TOWNS.dbf file which contains the town name, the population, the addresses of certain facilities, and so on. It's *that* data that I want to access and display. Currently, when I query the layer, I do get the shape (town) and I can get the coordinates of the point, the shape index, and so on. That's no problem. However, I would like to get hold of that *other* data, contained in the .dbf file. Obviously the data is accessible, hence the fact that I can display labels as text from the dbf, but I don't see a clear link between a point query on the map and that data...perhaps by CLASSITEMs but that seems an expensive work-around. As you see by my guessing, I clearly have no idea ;) The one solution - one that has been working but which I'd prefer /not/ to use - is by getting the shape index from the layer query and then, using a 3rd party Java library, obtaining the data from the dbf file and matching data sets with map entities. I'd actually prefer not to use the additional library at all, it just feels so wrong.

Are you familiar with linux? With a recent version of mapserver you can use both relative and absolute paths in a mapfile. Here is a simple example that shows both. The mapfile sits at /work/CPC/Mapping/mapfiles/. One note when using includes; if you nest them, the path is relative to the FIRST mapfile.

If anyone can see some things I need to do I'd appreciate it. A couple things that we're kicking around is breaking the layers (Outdoor Rural/In-Vehicle Rural Hwy/In-Building Suburban/In-Building Urban/In-Building Dense Urban) down to county level sizes, create a tileindex of groups of counties, then create a tileindex referencing the county group tileindex. I really don't think this would improve performance unless the common zoom/extent was at a county level. The other thought is loading all of these shapefiles into the Oracle database as spatial data. I've gotten a request from the higher-ups to increase the performance of our MapServer. The server we're running on is a 2.8GHz XEON w/ 3GB of RAM. Thinking that maybe an increase in RAM might help us out too. At this point we're pretty invested in the Chameleon framework so a move to another application framework is not really an option.

All righty... I got as far as trying to make a map request, and replicated your error: http://80.201.239.208:8888/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/etc/mapserver/wmsserver.map&version=1.1.1&service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=grens&format=image/png Indeed, it's complaining that your connection params aren't working. In fact, it's saying "connection refused" which means that the PostgreSQL server isn't listening. Strangely, I'm also able to connect to it via PgAdmin. Indeed, that's baffling. Are you able to SSH in to 80.201.239.208 and then connect to the database using that same connection info from within the server? I have a feeling that this isn't a Mapserver issue, but perhaps some firewall issue keeping you from connecting to the PgSQL server from within the server. One thing worth trying: change the host= part to host=127.0.0.1 This will try to connect to PgSQL on localhost instead of the external IP, and should bypass any weird firewall rules. Beyond that, I'd want to do some sysadmin stuff, hop in and poke around, to debug this; that may not be comfortable with you though. (oh, and BTW, you may want to tighten up on PgSQL's security after you get this working; half the net now knows your IP, dbname, and password. ;) ) -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth System Administrator, HostGIS cartographic development & hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ "Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore." - AMANDA From gregor at HOSTGIS.COM Wed Nov 14 08:36:12 2007 From: gregor at HOSTGIS.COM (Gregor Mosheh) Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 09:36:12 -0700 Subject: Migrating from Windows to Linux: trouble with mapfiles In-Reply-To: <8d2ea9d70711140827s6c154930va5a037f6e27877be@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: Steven De Vriendt wrote: > Solved the error too, it was a DMZ-IP-issue.

However, there is still a little issue that bothers me a bit. Normally, when the mapObj needs to be refreshed (due to a zoom, for instance), MapServer returns with an image quite swiftly. By the way, I'm getting the image directly via the getBytes() method. Other times (not often) MapServer takes a long time to return with the image...I've had to wait up to 30 seconds! The image is not particularly complex, and the same image has previously taken less than a second to be generated.

One of the functions that we are interested in providing to users is the ability to: 1) Create and load metadata into the portal - this is easy and can be done now 2) Have an interface that enables the user to upload a shapefile or any OGC compliant file type onto a server and have it automatically loaded into a mapservice - The workflow goes like this, users creates/uploads metadata, portal manager approves metadata, user receives email notification that metadata has been approved and is provided a link to an interface that will enable the user to upload the spatial file, the spatial file is automatically loaded into a mapservice(without human interaction),when a user veiws the metadata they can click on a link and have the data presented in a map viewer.

Thanks again, and please advise when you can. Sounds like the your mapserv is not executable. Try: chmod +x mapserv then to check you modification: ls -Fal and it should look something like: -rwxr-xr-x 1 rich admin 1220132 Sep 23 11:40 mapserv* If that doesn't resolve it, then check that your cgi directory is setup in your Apache configuration (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf) Should look something like: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/www/cgi-bin/" Basically this instructs Apache to execute files in the specified directory, rather than serve them as static content.

It's possible that there were old versions of frameworks, or missing frameworks, and the reinstall filled in missing bits. Sometimes surface errors are misleading, and you need to dig into logs to find the real cause. I usually start with console and system logs, if a specific log (ie httpd error log) doesn't help.

I have already seen those pages: I have already tiled the big shp (42 MB) into 8x8 pieces. But my question is: at the highest scale, rendering an 8x8 shp of 42MB is slow.

Well, that's not a question, just a fact. :) Seriously, though: Have you run shptree to create a spatial index? If so, are you sure that your shapefile is NOT specifying the .shp extension? Wrong: DATA "streets/tiger.shp" Right: DATA "streets/tiger" And what about your mapfile's classifications? Is the map drawing every street segment with every request? That can be a killer! Use classes to break them up into highways for large views, and streets for closer-up views. If you're already using a spatial index, then most of the time is probably not scanning the shapefiles but rather in drawing the shapes, so let's see the appropriate mapfile layer. -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth System Administrator, HostGIS cartographic development & hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ "Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore." - AMANDA From chelm at WAPA.GOV Mon Nov 19 13:04:13 2007 From: chelm at WAPA.GOV (Chris Helm) Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:04:13 -0600 Subject: Using GDAL WMS Driver Message-ID: Hi All, I'm searching for any use cases of using the new GDAL WMS driver within MapServer.

The tiled layer should be displayed only at large scales. The fasters solution is if you pregenerate the overview layer instead of on the fly generation with for example FILTER.

Chris, I *suspect* your MapServer build isn't really using the new GDAL. Either that, or possible permissions problems on the file when running as Apache. Can you try shp2img on the map? If that works, it's library ordering or permissions. If shp2img doesn't work then you can easily check libraries using ldd on shp2img, and it can't be permissions.

Message-ID: Hi John: The GD rendering software doesn't support text alignment although it's something being discussed for 5.2. One possible work around would be to use a different class expression to detect long labels and draw them differently. There's a length operator in the logical expression support so you can have different classes based on the length of a string. If you're using PostGIS perhaps there is the possibility of a custom function that would place a wrap character in the right spot based on length? Just an idea. Sorry...

Find out bij looking at the geometries as GML: select AsGML(wkb_geometry) from kaas or just ask for the srid: select getsrid(wkb_geometry) from kaas besides that be sure your projection is defined in the spatial_ref_sys table (and if you reproject, into the proj definitions of mapserver). But 31300 ("Belge 1972 / Belge Lambert 72") shouldn't be the problem. Biggest problem is probably that mapserver asks for 31300, and your columns OR you geometry_columns -table hold different OR mixed(!) srids. Be sure your data is all one srid and the srid-value in geometry_columns corresponds to that. It's very easy to reproject in postgis: First add a new column with the new epsg (for example 4326): SELECT AddGeometryColumn('public', 'kaas', 'wkb_geometry_4326', 4326, 'POINT', 2) then fill it using: UPDATE kaas SET wkb_geometry_4326 = Transform(wkb_geometry, 4326) If your data is ok, it doesn't mather anymore what mapserver is calling for, because (if the srid/epsg is defined in the web-part of you mapfile) mapserver will reproject it anyway.

I agree with Marcos. The CGI is a good starting point to get your feet wet. That's where I began. Until one day I decided to take the leap. I'd recommend using MapScript with a language that you're comfortable with. I tried MapScript using Python. I found that I could develop an app easier using MapScript than with the CGI. Eventually, I started developing Ruby on Rails apps. So I thought I'd give Ruby/MapScript a try. I'm not sure what has changed in Ruby/MapScript since the 5.0.0 release. But I found that my application was buggy when I switched from 4 to 5.

Simon, This is due to an optimization in MapServer to use the GDAL RasterIO() call for up/down sampling. The net result is that requests are always made on "pixel boundaries" and you get the result you see. If you add the line: PROCESSING "RESAMPLE=NEAREST" then MapServer will use a more general resampling code chunk which will give better results, but at some performance cost.

If this is happening with MapServer 5 and you can submit a bug report that makes it really really really easy for me to reproduce I'll try and look into it. If it isn't really really really easy for me to reproduce, I'll almost certainly get distracted and never return to the issue for years. But I would like to fix it if there is a problem.

What I am trying to do is use an openlayers front end which is queryable and searchable to display custom geodata (raster and vector) of our business using Google Maps as the backdrop. Currently I have Mapserver serving the custom data and OpenLayers importing and meshing it with Google maps (with some projection errors causing the maps to not line up perfect, but thats another topic for another day). I want to then hopefully use Openlayers to create a search function so users can search addresses of salespersons, growers etc and then they will be extracted from a database and the relevant data displayed. This data needs to be easily maintainable so it can be regularly and easily be updated. I have read a little about the postgreSQL database and PostGIS backend and was thinking about using this to house my salepersons etc data. However I have no knowledge or either of these programs. How do you suggest I go about this? Is what I am trying to do achievable? Has anything like this been done before and are there links to it? I would be very interested to hear all of your opinions on this and any tips or hints you may have. Cheers Brad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I encounter a strange problem when using string attributes. I write them using DBFWriteStringAttribute and see them using every available DBF viewer (dbfdump ...). But if I try to read them out using ogrinfo, I only see (null) values... I have really no idea, what's happening.... Does anybody have an idea?

In older mapserver-versions I copied some .dlls in the system32 and the mapserv.exe in the cgi-bin of the IIS. Then php-mapscript in the ext-folder of php and everything worked fine. With the install-packages ms4w (f.e. ms4w_2.2.5) there are many dlls in the cgi-bin (ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin) and I dont know what .dll are really used and important for mapserver and mapscript. Some files are for apache or php5 (f.e. php5apache2.dll) . Can anybody list the basic .dlls I need for a installation with IIS?

It has got a field with UTF-8 characters that are shown correctly in the database and when labeling with it in the map. But when using it to filter and clasify within the SLD file, it fails and do not locate the literal indicated in the SLD file in the table as if they were different. I have looked for it in the bugs track list in order to check if it is a bug of that version of mapserver but I haven't found anything. I have attached the SLD file in case it could be useful for anyone. We are using Mapserver 4.10.2 in a Fedora Core 6 system (UTF-8 encoding) with postgres 8.2.2. The database is also UTF-8 encoding.

The length of the legend is the problem. I reduced the number of layers and suddenly the legend showed up. I checked the fix and noticed that the code changed quite a bit, since we are using mapserver v4.0.2. However, I tried to fix it, but the problem remains the same. We used the same code of mapserver v4.0.2 before together with the same data, templates, etc. All we did, was upgrading the hardware and switching to a newer platform (linux opensuse 10.2). Can?t it be, that this problem has nothing to do with UMN Mapserver, but with a shared library? I attached the two files with the corrections I made. Can you please have a look at it?

Message-ID: After following Mapserver development/evolution for a couple years, I've reached a point where a very small entity has requested my help to build a web-based dynamic map application. From my vantage point, it seems to be a great fit for a LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL(or Postgres)/PHP-or-PERL) environment. Once in a while there are posts/blogs that point to Dreamhost and a couple others but so far each has been less than I'd hope for. Dreamhost does allow compiling your Mapserver.cgi with Apache2.x but asserts they will NOT support Apache DSO modules. Also, they do not allow Postgres..which would be OK if they just allowed DSO modules like mod_auth_mysql and php_mapscript!!! Other hosts that seem to cater to Mapserver folk appear to be still using Mapserver 4.x instead of the current, apparently stable 5.x version. I've queried one or two by e-mail and get absolutely no response, so that tells me a lot about how they take care of their customers! Short of contracting for a virtual host with root access at 6-10 times the typical cost of a main stream hosting service like Dreamhost, MidPhase, et al, I'm stumped with regard to WHERE to look! And this while I live within a 10-minute drive of AT&T headquarters and the new Rackspace mega-data-center!!! TIA for any advice/hints from mapserver production practitioners!

In-Reply-To: A Message-ID: Whether your final image is jpeg or png depends on the format included in the request, rather than what's included in the OUTPUTFORMAT block. I don't even normally put an OUTPUTFORMAT block in my mapfile - mapserver will accept requests for any image formats that it's been programmed to use by default (which includes jpeg and png for you already, very likely). That said, you can put multiple OUTPUTFORMAT blocks in your mapfile. They are actually children of the MAP block rather than the LAYER block - you can't declare that a particular layer in a mapfile is only to be rendered in a particular output format. See the OUTPUTFORMAT section in the mapfile reference for more details. To get a jpeg for layer1 and a png for layer2, you'll need two separate requests, like: http://server/mapserv?request=GetMap&...&format=image/jpeg&layers=layer1 &... http://server/mapserv?request=GetMap&...&format=image/png&layers=layer2& ... This is for CGI - if you're using mapscript someone else'll have to let you know how to generate the separate images.

If you develop with VS 2005 you probably use WebDev.Webserver.exe as the ASP.NET hosting process under the security context of the local user. Upon deploying the application to the IIS environment you probably use the aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe according to the OS you use. These processes are working differently from where the dependent dll-s are loded actually. Under the IIS environment the standard dll search approach is used for those dll-s that are not referenced directly by the csharp related dll-s in the assembly manifest. The standard dll search order for Windows can be: a. The directory from which the application loaded. b. The current directory c. The system directory. d. The 16-bit system directory. e. The Windows directory. f. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable. Note on #a: The common locations of the ASP:NET host process are: - On Windows 2003: %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\inetsrv - On WIndows XP: %SYTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[framework version] Note on #f: You can either set the PATH globally or only for the ASPNET user. You can use the sysinternals filemon tool to track where your files are to be loaded actually. 2. If you run the application on x64 IIS will use the Win64 framework by default so you should compile all of the dlls for x64. Otherwise you get a BadImageFormatException during the load. It must be noted that WebDev.WebServer always runs the 32 bit version of the .NET framework. My questions 1. Do you have a specific error message if you enable the debug and error reporting option in your Web.config file? 2. Is your app running on .NET FW 1.1 or .NET FW 2.0 Best regards, Tamas 2007/11/24, Bruno Gendron : > Hi, > > We are developing an ASP.NET 2.0 web application with C# Mapscript.

Either skip this step and work directly from your DTED files (if they are really dted) or figure out a more appropriate way to do the translation.

GDAL/Mapserver will then be able to read the 16-bit integer (or 32-bit float) data GlobalMapper exports. If you don't want to use GlobalMapper and you have .hgt (likely SRTM data?), you can create an .hdr header file for each .hgt file so GDAL/Mapserver will load them, or you can wait for GDAL 1.5.0 to be released (it can read them without header files).

If you see the docs at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server (specifically the first comment at the end of the page), it mentions that the wms_include_items is used when the output is of type text/plain and gml_incl_items used for gml type output. You can also use ows_include_items to cover both cases. This comment did not make it yet in the main doc page, but hopefully it will be done on the next round of doc update. Hope it helps.

Message-ID: I've been exploring mapserver a bit for the past few weeks, and my main source of documentation has been the various bits that are here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs And specifically this URL for the mapfile syntax: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile As I mentioned in another post: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0711&L=mapserver-users&T=0&F=&S=&X=1543504A22CA5E519A&Y=nospam420%40yahoo.com&P=51466 I was considering posting to the list a question about having trouble getting antialiasing working with lines of TYPE CARTOLINE. It was only through exploring these archives that I became aware of the existence of AGG, and the fact that cartoline symbols are likely to be deprecated in the future: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0709&L=MAPSERVER-USERS&P=R29108&D=0&H=0&O=T&T=0&X=1543504A22CA5E519A&Y=nospam420%40yahoo.com I gather from reading these archives a little that using AGG largely just entails specifying it as an OUTPUTFORMAT, although I can find no mention of AGG as an available OUTPUTFORMAT here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/outputformat I had been under the impression that that documentation was current for 5.0.0. I do recognize that the cartographic symbol documentation itself makes no claim to be any more recent than 4.8 http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cartosymbols/ So finally, the crux of my question: 1) Is there any specific documentation for using AGG with mapserver? The only mention of it that I have yet been able to find outside of this mailing list archive is the following single line in README.CONFIGURE (so I assume I will have to install agg and then recompile mapserver to try this). --with-agg[=DIR] Include AGG support (DIR is AGG's install dir). 2) More generally, is there any mapserver 5.0.0 specific documentation, and is there any way to know what version any particular documentation refers to if it does not explicitly say? There's not much in the way of documentation included in the mapserver .tar.gz file, certainly nothing with the (very good) level of detail that is available on the web. Thanks in advance for any help you may have to offer. - Rich Fromm From nospam420 at YAHOO.COM Mon Nov 26 18:47:49 2007 From: nospam420 at YAHOO.COM (rich.fromm) Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 18:47:49 -0800 Subject: AGG docs (and 5.0.0 docs in general) ?

Note that this was using AGG 2.5, so ymmv. My understanding is that mapserver 5.0.0 is currently recommending AGG 2.4 for licensing reasons, but for initial experimentation I decided to just download the latest since I'm building it all from source. I'm fairly certain it is now using AGG instead of GD, although since I'm still not able to get working the feature that motivated my switch to AGG (antialiased lines), you may wish to take these instructions with a grain of salt. I am running Debian 3.1 (sarge). As I noted before, there is currently no sarge backport for libagg-dev (it is available on Debian 4.0, aka etch). agg 2.5 suggests building using the auto* tools. (This requires you to have automake, autoconf, etc. already installed. That's beyond the scope of what I'm going to describe here.) Once you unpack the *.tar.gz file, to run up to and through the configure step, execute: . autogen.sh When I did this, I ended up with the following error: ./configure: line 19907: syntax error near unexpected token `$SDL_VERSION,' ./configure: line 19907: `AM_PATH_SDL($SDL_VERSION,' which seems to confirm what frequens earlier said about libsdl being necessary. This was trivial to install for me, since there was a debian package: sudo aptitude install libsdl-dev (Or use apt-get instead of aptitude, and/or just run as root if you don't use sudo.) This did scare me a little bit, since it pulled in a LOT of other dependencies, but it ultimately seemed to install fine. Now I reran the autogen script which I think seemed to go okay this time. Make by executing: make I think that not installing agg (as recommended by Stephen Woodbridge) is likely to be problematic for your build of mapserver, since the build puts the resulting libbagg.so in a src/.libs subdir, and I think that the mapserver build is assuming a lib subdir of whatever is passed to configure with the --with-agg flag. So I ended up installing it with: sudo make install (Or run as root if you don't use sudo.) This will put everything in subdirs of /usr/local, unless you passed some different --prefix=/foo/bar to the configure script (possibly via the autogen.sh script). Now you're free to configure and build mapserver. When I initially added just the following to my configure line: --with-agg=/usr/local I got the following error: checking if AGG support requested... configure: error: freetype required for agg support - please configure --with-freetype. So I ended up adding all of the following to my existing configure line: --with-agg=/usr/local --with-freetype And that worked fine. I already had the libfreetype6-dev debian package for sarge (version 2.1.7-8), so there was nothing further to install. Then I executed: make And all worked well. However, when I tried generating a map via apache2 and the CGI interface, I got a 500 error, and the following in my /var/log/apache2/error.log file: mapserv: error while loading shared libraries: libagg.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This was also evident when I tried to just run: mapserv -v With the previous binary (before I build with AGG), it returned: MapServer version 5.0.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=THREADS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=SHAPEFILE But now it returned: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv: error while loading shared libraries: libagg.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I could fix this locally by setting: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib And now it returned: MapServer version 5.0.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=THREADS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=SHAPEFILE So the final bit was figuring out how to get apache2 to set this via the CGI interface. I added the following to my configuration at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib An alternative that also worked was just placing the SetEnv line within a previously existing tag. # ... SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib # ... But I preferred the former, since it limited this to just what I needed, nameply mapserver. Your specific manner of configuring your webserver may vary (this is for apache2 2.0), and the specific location of your configuration files may also vary (apache2 is installed for me via the sarge debian package). Hopefully this might be of some help to someone. This probably would have been FAR easier on debian etch, since the libagg-dev package presumably would have automatically pulled in anything it needed (like libsdl-dev), and the libraries would have ended up in /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib, therefore avoiding having to explicitly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for apache2. - Rich Fromm -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/AGG-install-tf4390828.html#a13979959 Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I just wanted to know what knobs are available, so that when I get to the point of really worrying about time vs. space vs. quality tradeoffs I know what my options are. For example, if I take one of my testcases (generated using IMAGETYPE AGG_Q) and run it through pngcrush, it goes from 47783 bytes down to 45402. Which means there is at least a little room (if not necessarily via mapserver) for making it smaller, although the crushed file is 95% of the original size, so that's a sign that mapserver as configured is doing a pretty good job.

Message-ID: First of all, thank you for all of the prompt and helpful assistance I've gotten so far. I hope I'm not asking too many questions here. Now on to my current quandry: Is there any simple way of drawing lines with outlines? The mapfile docs: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/style are indeed very clear in saying for OUTLINECOLOR that: Line symbols do not support outline colors. Although since there seem to be other examples of where those docs are mapserver 4.x centric, I thought it might be worth asking with respect to 5.0.0. But I don't see any evidence of it in the 4.10.x to 5.0.x migration guide: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/tags/rel-5-0-0/mapserver/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT And I tried just adding an OUTLINECOLOR along with the existing COLOR in the STYLE section for a line, and that didn't work. Currently the approach that I'm taking is as follows. For a line of width of m pixels plus an outline of n pixels, I first draw a line of width m+(2*n) with the COLOR of the outline, and then I draw a line of width m with the COLOR of the main line atop that. This was based on suggestions here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cartosymbols/ While that works, it seems a little hacky, and I wonder if it has performance issues since ultimately each line has to be completely rendered twice. So I was wondering if there was a better way. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/outline-colors-for-lines---tf4885234.html#a13982649 Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

In-Reply-To: <13982649.post@talk.nabble.com> Message-ID: Rich, Lines with outlines are drawn either using a SYMBOL that is a pixmap that is dragged along the line. Or you can use two or more STYLEs in a single CLASS like: STYLE COLOR 255 0 0 WIDTH 5 END STYLE COLOR 0 0 255 WIDTH 3 END Which would draw a 5 pixel wide red line and then overlay that with a 3 pixel wide blue line giving the appearance of blue line with a one pixel outline in red. -Steve W rich.fromm wrote: > First of all, thank you for all of the prompt and helpful assistance I've > gotten so far.

This is a bug fix release in the 1.4.x stable release series and adds no significant new features. This release replaces the GDAL/OGR 1.4.3 release which has been retracted by the project as it included an unexpected ABI (Application Binary Interface) change from the earlier 1.4.x releases. This ABI change means that applications using the GDAL/OGR C++ interface, and GDAL/OGR driver plugins built against GDAL/OGR 1.4.0, 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 could not be safely used with GDAL/OGR 1.4.3. All applications redistributing binaries are encouraged to discard GDAL/OGR 1.4.3 and use 1.4.4 instead. The GDAL/OGR 1.4.4 release is ABI compatiable with all earlier 1.4.x releases except for the disavowed 1.4.3. GDAL/OGR 1.4.4 is available in source format at: http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.4.4.tar.gz http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal144.zip More detailed NEWS on fixes in the 1.4.4 release can be found at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Release/1.4.4-News GDAL 1.5.0, a major "new features" release, will be entering beta during December, and it is hoped a GDAL 1.5.0 release will be available by the end of year.

You have to create a tileindex file (e.g. with gdaltindex) and use the tileindex shapefile in your mapfile.

I used to query features with code like this: alayerObj.queryByAttributes(aMapObj, "ID", "ID=4711", mapscript. MS_SINGLE); In Mapserver 5 this code results in an Mapserver-Error-Message stating, that the "SQL command is not properly ended". The Mapserver-generated SQL-Command includes a Where-Clause of the form "ID = ID = 4711". I had a look in maporaclespatial.c function "osFilteritem". Follwing code seems to produce this Where-Clause: if (layer->filteritem != NULL) { sprintf (query_str + strlen(query_str), " %s = ", layer->filteritem); //snprintf (query_str + strlen(query_str), " %s = ", layer->filteritem); } Changing my Java-Code to alayerObj.queryByAttributes(aMapObj, "ID", "4711", mapscript.MS_SINGLE); solves the problem. Questions: * Is this a bug in Mapserver or a new feature? * Is this really a change in Mapserver 5.0? * Shall I rather change my Java-Code or shall I patch Mapserver/ maporaclespatial.c/osFilteritem?

And the source of this issue was relate with some Filter/FilterItem problems for Oracle Spatial in early versions (4.x). The osFilterItem function in the source code is relate with FILTER and FILTERITEM definitions for Mapfile (you can see here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/referencemanual-all-pages) and Mapscript. In the PHPMapscript, the info for queryByAttribute relate that the parameters that you pass will overwrite what you define for FILTER/FILTERITEM in Mapfile. In the same doc for queryByAttribute: "qitem is the item (attribute) on which the query is performed, and qstring is the expression to match." In the source code for 5.0 version this is a new (maybe better) interpretation for the docs. I believe that this new way is better when compared with the docs. Best regards.

Sorta depends on how you are using the image in your application. You could, for example, setup a special layer that is not normally drawn for this purpose. In your mapfile you'd have: # normal polygon layer LAYER ... END # layer to hilite a polygon LAYER NAME 'hilite' ... CLASSITEM 'primary_key' CLASS EXPRESSION '[primary_key_value]' END END Then in your query results instead of using a query map you'd call mapserver, turning on the hilite layer and passing in the primary key value for the selected polygon, for example: That would work if you're using query templates. You could also query the hilite layer specifically, only turning it on for queries and using a standard querymap. You get more flexibility in symbolization with the first approach. Make sense?

To make a short story, our ASP.NET 2.0 webapp is now deployed on a shared server. We are using MS4W-2.2.6, with all dependencies. Right now, the web page that uses C#Mapscript does not load because of the following security exception: System.Security.SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers. I suspect the problem I was getting last week was related to the same error. I was hoping to get around this problem by re-compiling Mapserver with fewer dependencies. So, I've downloaded Howard Butler's Build Kit (version 4.8), and I managed to get it to compile OK, but no manifest is created with mapscript.dll (manifests are only created with mapserv.exe and other EXEs). I also tried the default build kit nmake.opts file with other versions of Mapserver (4.10 and 5.0), but in these cases, there is an error when building csharp: something like "a syntax error occurred in input #1". So, I'm unable to verify if a manifest will be created with the mapscript DLL. Any ideas?

I've narrowed this down to a very simple test case (see below). ALL that I'm attempting to displaying here is an 80% grey background. This works fine with both the AGG and GD rendering backends, as long as quantization is not enabled. However, if I enable quantization, instead of getting a uniform background of (204,204,204), I get (204,206,204). And I'm quite surprised at how visually noticeable such a small green shift is. I can preserve the proper color if I use IMAGEMODE PC256 rather than IMAGEMODE RGB, but that is only valid with GD. If I try to use it with AGG, I get the following error message: --- msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Unable to initialize image. msPrepareImage(): GD library error. Unable to initialize image. msImageCreateAGG(): AGG library error. AGG driver only supports RGB or RGBA pixel models. --- I have a very strong preference for using AGG instead of GD. And I would prefer to make my PNG's smaller by not using full 24bit color. I realize a plain background is a bit of an extreme case, but in this case the size difference is dramatic: -rw-r--r-- 1 rich engr 2809 2007-11-30 11:14 agg.png -rw-r--r-- 1 rich engr 133 2007-11-30 11:15 agg_q.png -rw-r--r-- 1 rich engr 2809 2007-11-30 11:14 gd.png -rw-r--r-- 1 rich engr 133 2007-11-30 11:37 gd_q.png -rw-r--r-- 1 rich engr 133 2007-11-30 11:47 gd_256.png And here are the color distributions within the images: agg.png -------- 0: (204,204,204) grey80 agg_q.png -------- 0: (204,206,204) #CCCECC gd.png -------- 0: (204,204,204) grey80 gd_q.png -------- 0: (204,206,204) #CCCECC gd_256.png -------- 0: (204,204,204) grey80 I realize that sometimes quantization will by its very nature need to change colors, but I had not expected this if the input image already had a sufficiently small number of colors. Is this indeed still recognized as a known issue that is not going to be fixed? One of the replies here suggested the possibility of reserving colors via a PALETTE option, but I can find no mention of this anywhere in the docs. I suppose another option would be to have mapserver output 24bit color PNG images and use some external program (like ImageMagick) to convert to 8bit PNG. I am running mapserver-5.0.0, compiled with gd-2.0.35 and agg-2.5.

We have a postgres table with a postgis geometry column and other details (name, address columns). Problem is, we need to join that table with a couple of other tables in the same database. We have tried getting around the join problem by creating a view that hides the needed joins but performance is terrible. We have also tried using an exists subselect but performance is even worse. Creating a custom table for each map we want to generate is completely impractical due to the size of the database. However, writing sql as joins is super quick. Here's an example of what we'd like to accomplish. DATA "p.the_geom from people_points p, spam_table s, eggs_table e" FILTER "p.id=s.id and p.id=e.id and s.spam='foo' and e.eggs='bar'" Is there some other way to do this without having to create a (massive and unnormalized) table with all the info we need or a view? We're using postgres 8.1, mapserver 4.9, ubuntu server 7.04. We've heard there were improvements to postgres (maybe in 8.2) that improved view performance, but it's not practical for us to upgrade right now.

DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT asbinary(force_collection(force_2d(pp.the_geom)),'NDR'),OID::text from people_points p, spam_table s, eggs_table e WHERE (p.id = s.id and p.id = e.id) and (p.the_geom && setSRID('BOX3D(-91.5260946100404 41.6407165527344,-91.4920023137877 41.667503356933)'::BOX3D, find_srid('','people_points p, spam_table s, eggs_table e', 'p.the_geom') )) That last line should be find_srid('','people_points','the_geom') rather than find_srid('','people_points p, spam_table s, eggs_table e', 'p.the_geom') which it gets by grabbing everything following "from" in the DATA string DATA "p.the_geom from people_points p, spam_table s, eggs_table e" If mapserver were to parse the DATA line more precisely, join queries like this would just work. (Would this extra parsing be too postgres-specific?) This seems like such a common sort of query to want to run I'm wondering if I'm missing some obvious other way to do it. (Or maybe I should make this a feature request?) How are others making this sort of database join for layers?

In-Reply-To: <475069B4.9020103@hostgis.com> Message-ID: Gregor, I don't see anything wrong with the request. I also tested locally the latest Mapserver svn with a local postgis layer using the same kind of request and I did have the expected result. (From what I can see, the layer in question is a postgis layer, is this correct ?) If possible, please send me a "small" dump of your layer (shape would be good) and a map file and I can load it locally and do the same kind of requests to see what is happening.

Ah! Using an anonymous table, the join is now working. I'm still figuring out the "using unique gid" bit at the end. Is gid like an oid for geometry tables? My table has no gid column.

Mapserver expects it in case you want to do a query so if you don't have one just add a serial column to one of you tables and reference it. -Steve From lethanhx2k at GMAIL.COM Fri Nov 30 19:10:12 2007 From: lethanhx2k at GMAIL.COM (=?UTF-8?Q?L=C3=AA_Vi=E1=BA=BFt_Thanh?=) Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2007 10:10:12 +0700 Subject: How to filter the feature based on it's attribute?
