[mapserver-users] RE: Problems with Query Template (Chameleon)

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello Andy,

I may not have your solution, but I can let you know what I would do in 
this situation:

- make sure GDAL/OGR is accessing your file properly (testing with the 
ogrinfo command on your old installation version and with your new 
installation GDAL version, and compare the ogrinfo results)
- test a simple query on your problem file in something other than 
Chameleon (e.g. install the MS4W addon "MapServer Itasca Demo 
Application" and try modifying that for your own mapfile, it is a 
MapServer CGI viewer with a query tool that you desire)
- once you know if it is an issue specific to Chameleon then move this 
question to the Chameleon mailing list
- if it isn't a Chameleon issue, you might have discovered an issue with 
MapServer/OGR....so don't give up!

Hope this helps.

-jeff
