[mapserver-users] MapServer + Tilecache

[Roger André]

Hi Tyler,

I wonder if the "projection" line in your tilecache.cfg might be causing
problems?  From what you show below, it looks like your "vias" data is in
EPSG:4326 natively, and that you then force MapServer to reproject it to a
custom mercator - which you say works fine.

I think the "projection" and "srs" lines are conflicting with each other in
your tilecache.cfg.
In my setup, I have my data's native projection defined in the mapfile like
you do, as 'PROJECTION "init=epsg:4326" END'.  But in my tilecache.cfg, I
only specify what output projection I want, in this case EPSG:900913.

[v2_20m_global]
type=MapServerLayer
mapfile=/var/www/mapfiles/v2_20m_global/v2_20m_global.map
metaTile=true
metaSize=2,2
metaBuffer=0,500
layers=imagery
spherical_mercator=true
srs=EPSG:900913

My suggestion would be to remove the "projection line entirely and see if
you get tiles generated in EPSG:4326 correctly.  If that works, try
specifying a different EPSG code.  If you get reprojected tiles that way,
you can try fiddling with the "projection" parameter in the tilecache.cfg,
or add a new projection line to your /share/proj/epsg file with your custom
parameters and point to its code in the tilecache.cfg "srs" line.

Best of luck,

Roger
