[mapserver-users] problem with raster data..

[MeLv1n wAuRaN]

i already included the gdaltindex path in the environment variable. But another error occured, it said: 

"C:\ms4w\data\raster>gdaltindex sample_index.shp sample*.tif
ERROR 4: Unable to open sample_index.shp or sample_index.SHP.
Creating new index file...
ERROR 4: `sample*.tif' does not exist in the file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

Unable to open sample*.tif, skipping."

what do you think is the problem here?

It looks like it can't find gdaltindex.exe in the PATH environment variable. You will have to add the directory that gdaltindex.erxe lives in to your PATH variable, via Control Panel.
 
Option 2 is to specify the location of gdaltindex.exe when you run it:
 
eg.
 
C:\ms4w\data\raster>C:\ms4w\tools\gdaltindex sample_index.shp sample*.tif

hi again robert,

i tried running it in the cmd but it gives me an error message:

C:\ms4w\data\raster>gdaltindex sample_index.shp sample*.tif
'gdaltindex' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

so, what did i miss in the mapserver configuration? i'm using MS4W_2.3.1

If you intend to store the sample_index.shp file in the same directory as your TIF files, then open a DOS cmd window and navigate to that directory "cd c:\ms4w\data\raster". once you are there, simply run:
 
gdaltindex sample_index.shp sample*.tif
 
This will create the sample_index.shp file in that directory. the accompanying .dbf file will haev a single attribute field "Location" that will hold the name of each TIF file.
 
If you want, you can spatially index this file using the shptree utility that comes with Mapserver. It will create a spatial index .qix file.
 
In your Map file you will need to specify the location of the sample_index.
 
regards,
 
Robert
