From richard.matsunaga at troocorp.com Mon May 2 07:33:04 2011 From: richard.matsunaga at troocorp.com (Richard Matsunaga) Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 10:33:04 -0400 Subject: [mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo crashes MapServer 5.6.6 Message-ID: <26eb90b74768e7c17c4373c25e57390f@mail.gmail.com> I?ve been trying to get GetFeatureInfo working with MapServer 5.6.6 and have found that if one of several layers returns ?Search returned no results? then the query will fail and the server will return a 500 ? Internal Server Error. If I query the one layer, I will get a normal ?Search returned no results? return. We have several (too many) versions of MapServer running on our server and I have found that older versions will work, but anything after 5.2 will not. The server is running CentOS and the MapServer versions have been built from scratch, although I don?t know much more than that. We have no issues with GetMap requests on these map files on any version of MapServer. When the error occurs, there are no MapServer logs generated. The only clue is in the messages log: ? kernel: mapserv-test[4192] trap stack segment rip:3dad072cd1 rsp:7fff6e2b5080 error:0 In trying to troubleshoot this, I installed ms4w with MapServer 5.6.6 on my Windows PC and it works in all scenarios. Any ideas what might be going on? Have we built MapServer incorrectly? Is there any way to get more detailed logging?

My thoughts: - since your map image is created properly on disk, this means that there is no problem with your IMAGEPATH setting in your mapfile - however there might be a problem with your IMAGEURL setting in your mapfile. In your mapping application, in Firefox right-click where the map image is supposed to be, and select "View Image"...does that URL in the location bar match what you specified in the mapfile's IMAGEURL setting? (and verify that you have configured your Apache correctly for that alias) For example, MapServer for Windows (MS4W) comes with Apache configured for a "ms_tmp" alias, which points to /ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/ on your harddrive. Those are my initial thoughts when hitting that error. -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 11-05-02 11:29 AM, Bistrais, Bob wrote: > I have an application which doesn?t show its map image.

In new versions it is required. Basically the first line of a template must contain the string ???MapServer Template???. Typically you???d put that in a HTML comment, e.g.: ...template follows...

A new attribute (Union:SourceLayerVisible) has been added to the union layer so you can set up a FILTER expression to display the features from only the "visible" sources if required. The most common setting is to disable the visibility of the source layers (by setting the STATUS of the layers or classes to 'off') to avoid the feature duplication.

In that case a machine dedicated to the db backend with a fast network (GB or better) link to the rendering workstation is also *probably* recommended to free CPU resources and memory (for caching resultsets) on the rendering side (but that depends on your queries). If a query is particularly CPU or I/O intensive consider using a materialized view instead (Oracle has builtin support, postgres not yet but it can be done). 3) In regards to the hardware, I reckon we would need at least one > workstation dedicated to rendering.

Another is that disks are only involved when it is writing the image to a file so I would also think about saving money on disks and get more servers instead or use a fast primary for file generation (think SSD) and then move them async'ly to a slower (but cheaper) storage (think NFS). Last: too much ram might never get used because of the cpu bottleneck kicking in before so I would also make sure that I could shuffle ram around if necessary (i.e.: one server's CPUs are consistently maxed out, but memory isn't: in that case I would buy a new server and move memory to the new one instead of buying more and waste it).

I have included serveral WMS Layers, but so far only VERSION 1.1.1 or lower. The syntax I used before does not seem to work here. I keep on getting the error message: msBuildWMSLayerURL(): WMS connection error. MapServer supports only WMS 1.0.0 to 1.1.1 (please verify the VERSION parameter in the connection string) My Mapserver Version is MapServer version 5.7-dev from FWTools2.4.7. My Mapfile includes the following Layer: LAYER NAME "Deutschland" TYPE RASTER STATUS DEFAULT CONNECTIONTYPE WMS CONNECTION "http://gdz.bkg.bund.de/wms_dtk2500" METADATA "wms_srs" "epsg:4326" "wms_name" "0" "wms_title" "DTK2500" "wms_server_version" "1.3.0" "wms_format" "image/png" "wms_onlineresource" "http://gdz.bkg.bund.de/wms_dtk2500" END END When I include the CONNECTION in my MapFile, then I get the described error. When I ommit the CONNECTION String and use the wms_onlineresource which seems to be the newer syntax, then I do not get the error message, but I can also not see the map. When I use wms_server_version 1.1.0, then I do see the map, but on a wrong position. From what I read that might have something to do with the change of the axis between 1.1.0 and 1.3.0. Did the Syntax for the mapfile change between the Version 1.1.0 and 1.3.0 and I did not see it in the documentation or am I missing something else? Does the wms_srs still work, since in the url I need the CRS for the projection. Any ideas?

The first thing to note: editing a DBF with Excel & Co. seems to be a _really_ bad idea. Those who tried that got Shapes wired to wrong attribute lines. So DBF, SHP, SHX and QIX files have to be used as a whole or will usually end up in a corrupted dataset. I would suggest "ogr2ogr" from the GDAL suite. It's fast, reliable, can do joins and is aware of the mentioned dependencies. Please note that such a fileset can only provide a spatial index via a QIX file. This is OK if you only want to filter by BBOX. If you want to filter by attribute all lines of the DBF still need to be scanned. In such cases it's wise to use ogr2ogr to split the data in pre-filtered sets. Using a more sophisticated database like PostGIS or SpatialLite can help you implement more complex scenarios. Since MapServer has no native driver for SpatialLite it's probably not as fast as it is supposed to be. This mostly depends on OGRs implementation.

I have a feeling that I'm just expecting things to work differently than they do, but wanted to confirm. If you have a CLUSTER object with a GROUP expression in it (e.g. GROUP ( '[type]' = 'car' ), the Cluster:Group feature attribute evaluates to true or false. Makes sense. Now, is there a way to make it so that a grouping by attribute value happens? i.e. if I have data with vehicle types in it and want the data to be clustered by type - car, truck and van for example - is there a way to do this without having three layers where each one has a GROUP expression for each vehicle type?

I'm wondering if any of you can help me with a problem I'm having with GeoMoose, using Mapserver. I am using the latest version of Geomoose (2.4RC1) and Mapserver 5.6.3 (packaged for Fedora 14). My issue is when I carry out a query in Geomoose. I have set everything there up according to the docs, and submitted info to the mailing list, so hopefully it's all correct. From what I can gather, the problem is when the php script calls: $queryLayer->queryByRect($queryLayer->getExtent()); In the Apache log, this returns msPostGISLayerResultsGetShape: Assertion `layer->layerinfo != ((void *)0)' failed. and the mapserver log says: getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near (per_ttw_lu):(line 320) [per_ttw_lu is the name of my field. It is definitely there as I use it in an identify query, and I can map the Mapserver layer fine] I'm convinced this is something to do with the template - GeoMoose does something non-standard with Mapserver templates, and the template is specified in the METADATA for the layer. But, from the debugging I've done in PHP, the template seems to be properly specified - it is specified using itemquery itemquery_template.html in the METADATA tag. I'm not sure I've got the right markup in the template though - currently it is: [errmsg] Output Areas Census Code: [census_code] Percentage travel by LU: [per_ttw_lu]     Can anyone help me with this, or help me to debug it better.

We have read that Mapserver can be configured to do this but we are running into problems when using Mapserver as a client to Tlecache. Specifically, how do we publish metadata in the MapSever Client capabilities document about the correct resolutions / bounding box of a Tilecache service. More details... Here's a snippet of our 'top level' Mapserver mapfile, which will sit on our public server: LAYER NAME 'lcr_basemap_cache_wgs84' TYPE RASTER CONNECTIONTYPE WMS CONNECTION "http://ourserver/tilecache/wms-c/tilecache.py?"

We have had some success in connecting to the Tilecache via the Mapserver Client using an Openlayers client to view the 'top level' WMS layers ** BUT ** this only works because we configured Openlayers to use the correct resolutions / bounding box etc. What we are really trying to achieve with this is a public WMS for which other people/clients can use, e.g. Openlayers / QGIS, by just reading the Capabilities document provided by the MapServer client. So far, we have yet to find a way to advertise (via the capabilities document) these underlying Tilecache resolutions as metadata in the cascading level Mapserver. Is this possible? If it is not possible, does anybody have recommendations as to how to go about this in a standards compliant way?

We have had some success in connecting to the Tilecache via the Mapserver Client using an Openlayers client to view the 'top level' WMS layers ** BUT ** this only works because we configured Openlayers to use the correct resolutions / bounding box etc. What we are really trying to achieve with this is a public WMS for which other people/clients can use, e.g. Openlayers / QGIS, by just reading the Capabilities document provided by the MapServer client. So far, we have yet to find a way to advertise (via the capabilities document) these underlying Tilecache resolutions as metadata in the cascading level Mapserver. Is this possible? If it is not possible, does anybody have recommendations as to how to go about this in a standards compliant way?

Obviously I had never read the documentation closely in this area. All my reference maps are "png" drawn with Mapserver (aggpng I think) and work in version 5.6. When my try/catch throws an exception trying to draw this reference map, the exception message is an empty string. Through testing and looking at the apache logs, I find that there are MapServer Errors in the MapServer errorObj and PHP Notices and Warning. These are: [Mapserver Error] msDrawREferenceMap() : error loading reference image /data/mapfiles/ref_maps/. [MapServer Error] readImage(): unsupported pixmap format/n in . Is this truly a change in the image type restriction for Reference Maps or is it just an change in the checking for errors when the MapScriptException was added? Was I just lucky my ".png" reference maps worked in the past? Am I the only one to try this? I don't have many to convert but wanted to point this out so it could be added to the Migration Guide if it must remain a restriction. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To: Message-ID: <19649158A79349CBAF50B5EF45C2F375 at Worthlaptop> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" When did the restriction, "the Reference Map base image must be a .gif", start being enforced? I now see it in my old printed copy (version 5.2) of the documentation. I checked there to see if this was new to MapServer version 6 as I found it first in the online documentation. Obviously I had never read the documentation closely in this area. All my reference maps are "png" drawn with Mapserver (aggpng I think) and work in version 5.6. When my try/catch throws an exception trying to draw this reference map, the exception message is an empty string. Through testing and looking at the apache logs, I find that there are MapServer Errors in the MapServer errorObj and PHP Notices and Warning. These are: [Mapserver Error] msDrawREferenceMap() : error loading reference image /data/mapfiles/ref_maps/. [MapServer Error] readImage(): unsupported pixmap format/n in . Is this truly a change in the image type restriction for Reference Maps or is it just an change in the checking for errors when the MapScriptException was added? Was I just lucky my ".png" reference maps worked in the past? Am I the only one to try this? I don't have many to convert but wanted to point this out so it could be added to the Migration Guide if it must remain a restriction. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I here that you ideal stated goal is to use the files as published, but as a close alternative I can see that having a utility to preprocess the files might make implementation faster and and more consistent. This thought is based on some simple ideas: 1. what is inside/outside of a polygon? While we can compute this for every polygon on every draw, I do not think we want to do that, so having a preprocessor that standardizes polygon node ordering would avoid this. 2. polygon label point and orientations. It would be nice to have a utility, or the one above, that can do some basic analysis of a polygon and pick the ideal label point and orientation. This then might create a companion label point shapefile or add additional attribute columns for this purpose. This approach also has the benefit that you could then edit the label point file to override the automatically generated point. I think these two items would greatly increase our ability to implement in a consistent manner items 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Erase lines (but not other objects) under annotation For this one, do you want to erase ALL lines or just suspend drawing the line of the object being labeled? If you truely want to erase all lines, then you have to define what is a line! antialiased? wide lines? how is a line different from the highlighted edge of a polygon? or a line that has been drawn as a wide street with shoulders and a centerline? Currently we support drawing a multi-pixel halo around the text the in effect erases/replaces everything under the halo. I like your example image as a great use case.

Item 1 might be doable in 6.0 as it sits. In 6.0 a style GEOMTRANSFORM is really an expression and I exposed the GEOS buffer operator as a proof-of-concept. For example: STYLE GEOMTRANSFORM (buffer([shape], -2)) OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0 END Should generate a single pixel red line on the inside of a polygon shape. You can render it however you'd like. Note that a GEOMTRANSFORM is performed AFTER a shape is converted from map to image coordinates so it's effective for rendering effects only. If we exposed a few others you'd be able to do some other interesting things (like fills just inside a line...). The rest of the ideas are interesting and worthy of discussion.

From bfraser at geoanalytic.com Mon May 9 14:17:33 2011 From: bfraser at geoanalytic.com (Brent Fraser) Date: Mon, 09 May 2011 15:17:33 -0600 Subject: [mapserver-users] Rendering Challenges In-Reply-To: <4DC84EFE.2030905@swoodbridge.com> References: <4DC845CC.3040808@geoanalytic.com> <4DC84EFE.2030905@swoodbridge.com> Message-ID: <4DC859ED.3070808@geoanalytic.com> Steve W., The reason I'd like to minimize any pre-processing is that NRCan publishes about 30 GB of shapefiles for the map series. And they publish a complete new version of these every 6 months. Currently I build tileindexes, and I expect I'll have to do other pre-processing steps to get the rendered output I'd like. The answer may be to load the data into PostGIS (every 6 months) and use its functions to make the data suitable for Mapserver. Maybe not. I've been thinking about a pre-processing commandline utility based on OGR and the GEOS functions it supports (and other functions it will hopefully support in the future). One thing I have to do is a LineMerge on the rivers shapefile so they will label in Mapserver. Currently a river will have many short segments broken at every tributary preventing any segment to be long enough to support a label. Having a separate pre-calculated shapefile for polygon annotation might get me closer to my goal. Dunno about the impact of having to support any arbitrary scale the user may view the map... NRCan's cartographers have it easy; they just have to render the data a one scale! And since it is [just] basemap data I suppose I could use Mapnik to render tiles, but that feels wrong. I'd much rather help to improve Mapserver. As for the "erasing of lines", I want just the contour lines under the label not to be drawn. I've used OUTLINECOLOR in the past but have been unhappy with the results (segments visible between characters, other features erased). I suppose the lines could be clipped to the bounding boxes of the contour labels, but due to the potentially curved nature of the contour labels I think the clipping polygons would have to be something like the convex hull of the character boxes.

Render lines inside polygon boundary (with or without opacity) Along with Steve's buffer proposition, you can already more or less do that with OFFSET , except you don't have the notion of inside/outside, but left/right. If all your polygons are digitized in the same direction (i.e. clockwise or anticlockwise) this can be done with: STYLE #FILL END STYLE OUTLINECOLOR r g b OFFSET 1.5 -99 WIDTH 3 OPACITY 50 END > 2.

Rotate anno if required to fit inside a polygon would be a nice addition, ANGLE AUTO for polygon labels.

The difficulty is the view (the extent of the rendered map image) may be completely inside the polygon-to-be-labeled (and so no polygon edges are visible), partially overlap the polygon, or completely enclose the polygon. Here's my thought on how to handle the various cases: 1. if View completely within Poly, then place Label at top left of View (but be careful, there could be multiple layers of polygons putting labels there so maybe the user should specify X,Y, location in pixels?) 2. else if Poly partially overlaps View place Label at inside edge (POSITION FollowEdgeInside?) of Poly 3. else (polygon is completely within view) 3.1 if Label fits within Poly place Label within (allow: CC, FollowEdgeInside, FollowEdgeOutside) 3.2 else if rotated text fits within Poly rotate Label and place within 3.3 else place Label beside Poly (allow the eight positions similar to point labeling?) Might be a big effort to implement, and I have no clue how to make it configurable via the map file.... -- Best Regards, Brent Fraser From steve.lime at state.mn.us Tue May 10 08:32:30 2011 From: steve.lime at state.mn.us (Lime, Steve D (DNR)) Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 10:32:30 -0500 Subject: [mapserver-users] Rendering Challenges In-Reply-To: <4DC94EC5.8060106@geoanalytic.com> References: <4DC845CC.3040808@geoanalytic.com> <4DC86801.7020106@geoanalytic.com> <4DC94682.8030304@geoanalytic.com> <4DC94EC5.8060106@geoanalytic.com> Message-ID: I've attached a patch against trunk that adds the difference function.

In fact you should probably check the WMS spec on the OGC site to see if that is allowed by the standard (my guess is no). I do know that the MapServer support for GetFeatureInfo requests is documented in the "Configuring for GetFeatureInfo Requests" section of http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html Of course, I've been wrong many times before, so someone can correct me if I am wrong here :) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ From jmckenna at gatewaygeomatics.com Tue May 10 12:42:06 2011 From: jmckenna at gatewaygeomatics.com (Jeff McKenna) Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 16:42:06 -0300 Subject: [mapserver-users] WMS GetFeatureInfo - is it possible to support multiple INFO_FORMATs?

So far, we have yet to find a way to advertise (via the capabilities document) these underlying Tilecache resolutions as metadata in the cascading level Mapserver. Is this possible?

In fact you should probably check the WMS spec > on the OGC site to see if that is allowed by the standard (my guess > is no). The standard allows multiple mime types for the GetFeatureInfo request: 7.4.3.5 INFO_FORMAT The mandatory INFO_FORMAT parameter indicates what format to use when returning the feature information. Supported values for a GetFeatureInfo request on a WMS server are listed as MIME types in one or more elements of its service metadata. The entire MIME type string in is used as the value of the INFO_FORMAT parameter. In an HTTP environment, the MIME type shall be set on the returned object using the Content-type entity header. If the request specifies a format not supported by the server, the server shall issue a service exception (code = InvalidFormat). However, as the example capabilities document shows, the available mime types for the GetFeatureInfo request is defined on a per-server basis, and as far as I can tell, all queryable layers must support all formats. http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.3.0/capabilities_1_3_0.xml ... ... text/xml text/plain text/html -- Trond Michelsen From niwa at orkney.co.jp Tue May 10 22:36:23 2011 From: niwa at orkney.co.jp (Makoto Niwa) Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 14:36:23 +0900 Subject: [mapserver-users] Re: Arrowhead in Mapserver 6.0 In-Reply-To: <427620110506045945niwa@orkney.co.jp> References: <4DC35F4B.7010504@mapgears.com> <427620110506045945niwa@orkney.co.jp> Message-ID: <501220110511053623niwa@orkney.co.jp> me again, It was resoleved.

Zanfardino) Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 18:19:05 -0700 Subject: [mapserver-users] Issue with mapserver rendering multiple layers Message-ID: <4DCB3589.7080509@gmail.com> I will try to make this brief. Some years ago I created a number of web-based applications which use mapserver to render various maps. At the time I was running mapserver 5.0.3 and my data is stored in a PostgreSQL database. The server is running on ubuntu 9.04 and mapserver was installed from the package manager (I did not build it custom). Fast-forward to a few days ago. I've installed mapserver 5.6.6 (from repos) onto an ubuntu 10.10 server. I copied the map files and data to the new server and when I attempt to render the map I find a number of peculiar behaviors. 1. When I request multiple layers to be rendered mapserver generates an image file that is completely white, however I can successfully render one layer at a time. 2. The rendered map appears to ignore all parameters in the URL relating the SRS, BBOX, HEIGHT, and WIDTH Some details: I am rendering the map through my browser as follows: http://10.10.10.86/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=mapdata/ccc.map&LAYERS=county,water&TRANSPARENT=true&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-122.41859552788569,37.48140447211431,-121.56140447211433,38.33859552788568&WIDTH=450&HEIGHT=450 Where 10.10.10.86 is my server (I will attach the map file for review). When I make this exact call to my server running mapserver 5.0.3 it renders it as I expect (see attached). When I make the same call to my server running 5.6.6 I end up with a blank image. If I restrict the LAYERS parameter to just 'county' or 'water' the layer renders. Also, the size of the resulting image is not 450x450 as defined. You will notice by the map file that I am referencing shapefiles now instead of my postgresql database. Please note that I get the same behavior with both shapefiles and the database. I will happily provide the shape files if necessary. I have been banging my head against the wall on this for three days and I can't seem to catch a break. I would appreciate any suggestions. I'm also more than willing to provide additional information. Cheers! Mark K. Zanfardino (zanberdo) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The solution of using a STYLE with GEOMTRANSFORM got me thinking of using the technique to solve some of the labeling challenges: 2. Place polygon annotation on/inside boundary line (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1592 point 8.) - label the line geometry resulting from GEOMTRANSFORM (buffer([shape], -3)) of the original polygon 5. Place line anno above (or below) when using ANGLE FOLLOW - label the line geometry resulting from GEOMTRANSFORM (buffer([shape], 5)) of the original line Currently the LABEL object uses the original geometry. Do you think it would be possible to [optionally?] use the GEOMTRANSFORMed geometry? Similarly, would it be possible to have the LABEL's convex hull (or a buffer the character boxes?) used as a clipping polygons of the layer's geometry to address: 8. Erase layer's geometry (but not other layers) under label - possible syntax: GEOMTRANSFORM ( clip( [labelpoly] ) ) Your thoughts? -- Best Regards, Brent Fraser From lists at remoteinformation.com.au Thu May 12 08:33:14 2011 From: lists at remoteinformation.com.au (Ben Madin) Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 23:33:14 +0800 Subject: [mapserver-users] Re: mapserver-users Digest, Vol 40, Issue 29 In-Reply-To: <20110513013022.68DC0E023D0@lists.osgeo.org> References: <20110513013022.68DC0E023D0@lists.osgeo.org> Message-ID: Thanks Jeff, Truth be told, I haven't set up a map file with a shapefile for about three years (all our data is in PostGIS now), so I haven't looked at the docs on that for a while. Based on the feedback here, could I maybe suggest that the last part of the shptree page be reworded to something like <<< Mapfile Notes The qix will be used when it is available and may provide significant gains in rendering speed. ESRI index files (.sbn / .shx) are not used by MapServer. Note Prior to Mapserver 5.2, in order for MapServer to use the.qix extension you MUST NOT specify the extension, for example: LAYER ... DATA "us_states" #MapServer will search for us_states.qix and will use it ... END LAYER ... DATA "us_states.shp" #MapServer will search for us_states.shp.qix and won't find it ... END Shapefiles are native to MapServer, and therefore do not require the .shp extension in the DATA path of the LAYER. >>> cheers Ben On 13/05/2011, at 9:30 AM, mapserver-users-request at lists.osgeo.org wrote: > From: Jeff McKenna > Date: 12 May 2011 8:58:00 PM AWST > To: mapserver-users at lists.osgeo.org > Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Layer rendering performance problem > > > On 11-05-11 9:59 PM, Ben Madin wrote: >> I'm not sure whether it is still the case, but it used also to be that >> if you wanted to use the index, you need to name the shapefile without >> the .shp extension.

The 6.0 release introduces important changes in key components of the MapServer core, as well as a large number of new features and enhancements. The complete list of changes and enhancements is too long to include here, so here is a quick list of RFCs related to this release: (RFCs are available online at http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/) Core Changes in MapServer 6.0 Which Could Affect Existing Applications: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * MS RFC 54: Rendering Interface API * MS RFC 64: MapServer Expression Parser Overhaul * MS RFC 65: Single-pass Query Changes for 6.0 New Features and Notable Enhancements in MapServer 6.0: ------------------------------------------------------- * MS RFC 50: OpenGL Rendering Support * MS RFC 58: Kml Output * MS RFC 60: Labeling enhancement: MAXOVERLAPANGLE * MS RFC 61: Enhance MapServer Feature Style Support * MS RFC 62: Support Additional WFS GetFeature Output Formats * MS RFC 63: Built-in OpenLayers map viewer * MS RFC 66: Better handling of temporary files * MS RFC 67: Enable/Disable Layers in OGC Web Services * MS RFC 68: Support for combining features from multiple layers * MS RFC 69: Support for clustering of features in point layers More details are also available in the 6.0 release plan at: http://mapserver.org/development/release/release-plan-6.0.html Migration Guide: ---------------- Users upgrading to 6.0 from an older 5.x release are strongly encouraged to start by reviewing the 5.6 -> 6.0 migration guide. This document contains important notes on backwards incompatibilities or other changes required when upgrading to 6.0. The latest version is available online at: http://mapserver.org/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html Source Code Download: --------------------- The source for this release can be downloaded at: http://mapserver.org/download.html or http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/mapserver-6.0.0.tar.gz Binary Distributions: --------------------- Existing MS4W 3.0 users can upgrade to this MapServer 6.0.0 release by following instructions at: http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=RELEASE_mapserver_ms4w3.x_dev-6.0.0.html Ubuntu Binaries for hardy, lucid, maverick and natty are also built and available in the unstable PPA of UbuntuGIS. See details and instructions at: http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/ The other binary distributions listed in the download page should also be updated with binaries for the new release shortly. Documentation: -------------- The MapServer documentation team is continuing to update and maintain documents, and are happy to announce that MapServer documentation is now available in English, German, French, and Spanish at http://www.mapserver.org/. Volunteers are always needed to help translate documents and update the documentation. The documentation team asks those volunteers interested in translating documents to please introduce yourself on the mapserver-dev email list. Finally, thank you to all of the users, developers, and supporters of MapServer. Enjoy! - The MapServer Team P.S.

If one does not like it or wants to do automated tasks it is also possible to use a RESTful alternative or just edit the configuration files manually. - Layers are automatically configured for both WMS and WFS - Geoserver does WFS-T with a bunch of backends, of those PostGIS and Oracle have a pretty good support. Mapserver does not do WFS-T, and TinyOWS which is a nice pair with Mapserver is only for PostGIS. - WFS should be the same standard for all but somehow Geoserver WFS has been more standard than Mapserver WFS. - Geoserver has an integrated security system for user management. The next ones are more a matter of taste - If Java + Tomcat etc. architecture is in use then Geoserver integrates fine into it. - There are people who love XML configuration files and Geoserver is using them. - Styling is done with SLD files which also the OGC way. - There are more graphical styling utilities available for SLD than for styling with a mapfile. I read the blog from http://s3.cleverelephant.ca/geoweb-mapserver.pdf It is rather old and readers should investigate what is situation right now with Mapserver 6.0 and Geoserver 2.1 both published yesterday. However, the metaphoras are probably still valid. Mapserver is a cheetah and an oxe while Geoserver is a car (both are fast and strong but one is easier to ride than the other). -Jukka Rahkonen- -----Alkuper?inen viesti----- L?hett?j?: mapserver-users-bounces at lists.osgeo.org puolesta: Jon-Paul Dobson L?hetetty: to 12.5.2011 18:51 Vastaanottaja: mapserver-users at lists.osgeo.org Aihe: [mapserver-users] MapServer v GeoServer Hi, MapServer appears to do most of what I need it too.

I committed that patch in trunk in what will be 6.2 if folks are interested. I'll add a few other functions too (see ticket #3871). Regarding other uses, sure it's possible. We'd need to add the GEOMTRANSFORM processing to labels and execute it before computing a label point. I've also thought about defining a layer-level GEOMTRANSFORM that would alter the original geometry before any processing so all classes and styles would be affected and you could query it. ;-) Your last idea (8) is a bit different. Here's you're talking about a drawing effect so we're back into styles, but in this case a label's style. Issue here is that a label has two geometries - the point, and the bbox(es) so which are you referencing with [shape]? I'm thinking that in this context we'd always mean the bbox(es) so you could create a buffered convex hull easily and draw it under a label. Probably should create a couple of tickets...

Message-ID: <4DCD2BE9.6090405@zmaw.de> Dear mapserver users, after some trial and errors I just managed to find a way querying more than one attribute via CGI: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapfile.map&mode=itemnquery&qstring=(([DATE_YEAR>2005) AND ('[type]'='transport'))&qlayer=Fixed_Point_Stations The documentation says that if you do not specify qlayer than all layers are searched. But that does not work for me, I always get the Web application error: "Query layer not set or references an invalid layer.", if I do not specify the qlayer. How can I do it?

Things like overlay grids, and such. But if I understand what has just been built, couldn't some sort of sudo geometries that represent a view (BBOX for example) be used to label a view and constructs within it? View (BBOX) edge label/stylings and such, maybe starting with simpler alignment/justifications for edge labeling of a map view? Using these feature labeling options via CGI introduce all sorts of ideas about how to use these capabilities for end user "view" labeling/styling, that may be separate from the mapping data. bobb >>> "Lime, Steve D (DNR)" wrote: Cool.

Zanfardino) Date: Fri, 13 May 2011 10:16:27 -0700 Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem rendering multiple layers Message-ID: <4DCD676B.2040708@gmail.com> I have created a simple map with two layers with shapefiles as the datasource. I have two servers I am using for testing in order to attempt to identify the source of a problem I am having when I attempt to render the two layers. Server A is running Ubuntu 9.04. It has been patched to the latest releases. I did *not* add the UbuntuGIS repo. I installed the package cgi-mapserver and mapserver-bin (along with the appropriate dependencies). MapServer version 5.0.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE I then render my map from my browser (Firefox 3.6.17 and Chrome 11.0.696.65) with the following URL: http://10.10.10.86/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=mapdata/ccc.map&LAYERS=county,water&TRANSPARENT=true&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-122.41859552788569,37.48140447211431,-121.56140447211433,38.33859552788568&WIDTH=450&HEIGHT=450 The resulting image is rendered at 450x450 and displays both the county and water layers as expected. Server B is running Ubuntu 10.04. It has been patched to the latest releases. I *did* add the UbuntuGIS repo. I installed the same packages. MapServer version 5.6.6 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS SUPPORTS=RGBA_PNG INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE I then render my map from the browser as before with the following URL: http://10.10.10.105/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=mapdata/ccc.map&LAYERS=county,water&TRANSPARENT=true&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-122.41859552788569,37.48140447211431,-121.56140447211433,38.33859552788568&WIDTH=450&HEIGHT=450 The resulting image is rendered at 740x400 and is a single white image (no layers rendered). If I only include one layer at a time the specified layer *does* render (again at 740x400 *not* 450x450 as specified in the URL). If I change the parameters &LAYERS to &LAYER (singular) and use two (one for county and one for water) the two layers render, again at the wrong resolution. I'm completely stumped. I've been using mapserver for a number of years now, but I hadn't upgraded to 5.6.6 as I'd been using it on my ubuntu 9.04 server. I'd love to take advantage of the changes available in 5.6.6 but right now I can't seem to get any of my maps to work. Help! I have enabled debugging for both servers. The output for Server A when requesting to render both county and water is: [Fri May 13 10:13:21 2011].721463 msSearchDiskTree(): Search returned no results.

Dear mapserver users, after some trial and errors I just managed to find a way querying more than one attribute via CGI: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapfile.map&mode=itemnquery&qstring=(([DATE_YEAR>2005) AND ('[type]'='transport'))&qlayer=Fixed_Point_Stations The documentation says that if you do not specify qlayer than all layers are searched. But that does not work for me, I always get the Web application error: "Query layer not set or references an invalid layer.", if I do not specify the qlayer. How can I do it? (Mapserver 5.6.6-3 on MacOSX) Thank you very much, Remon _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users at lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users From dmorissette at mapgears.com Fri May 13 12:01:56 2011 From: dmorissette at mapgears.com (Daniel Morissette) Date: Fri, 13 May 2011 15:01:56 -0400 Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer 6.0.0 Release In-Reply-To: <20110513100840.904521678238@mail.r3-gis.com> References: <20110513100840.904521678238@mail.r3-gis.com> Message-ID: <4DCD8024.80306@mapgears.com> On 11-05-13 06:08 AM, Peter Hopfgartner wrote: > > Updated packages for RHEL and CentOS 5.6 can be downloaded from > http://elgis.argeo.org/ testing repository.

I have an application that has shape file data for lakes. There are different shapefiles for data with higher accuracy that are used with scale ranges so that only one is drawn at a time. Specifically something like lakes_1_1m, lakes_1_250k, lakes_1_50k. I'm really looking for a way to show one LAKES layer in the application legend instead of 3 layers, two of which are always out of scale. Can or should I use a UNION layer to connect these layers?

This is because the source layers are hidden in most cases (STATUS OFF) to avoid the duplication of the features drawn. However the desired scale range (MINSCALEDENOM, MAXSCALEDENOM) could indeed be taken into account when accessing the source layers, by using a minor change. BTW: How the legend is drawn in your case? As far as I know mapserver draws only the layers in the scale range by default.

Here's you're talking about a drawing effect so we're back into styles, but in this case a label's style. Issue here is that a label has two geometries - the point, and the bbox(es) so which are you referencing with [shape]? I'm thinking that in this context we'd always mean the bbox(es) so you could create a buffered convex hull easily and draw it under a label. How about having [labelpointshape] and [labelbboxshape]? And I'm not sure the label's convex hull would be the way to go (for my problem at least); it might erase too much in the case of a horseshoe shaped label. Have a look at the example Daniel generated for the curved label enhancement: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/attachment/ticket/3523/maxoverlapangle-2.png A better polygon might be generated by simplify(union(characterbboxshape)) .

Upon reading the manuals (version 6.0 in trunk and old paper copy) I saw only "gif" was supposed to be used. I saw I was using both "jpg" and "png" in MapServer v5.6.6 and earlier. The attached test case shows that both "gif" and "png" reference maps work in MapServer version 6.0. The "jpg" does not. The "jpg" does work in version 5.6.6. The MapServer Error given in v6.0.0 for "jpg" is "readImage(): unsupported pixmap format". There is no error message for the caught exception. Originally I was not looking at the MapServer error object when catching the exceptions but in this case (and some others) I found that the thrown exception has no message. To test, unpack the files in the server and run refMapTest.php from a browser. You should see three reference maps on v5.6.6 and two reference maps and some errors on v6.0.0. I do not know what is expected of MapServer in this case. I can live without "jpg". That is what was given me by the customer but I can change it to "gif". Maybe only the documentation needs be updated to add "png" and exclude "jpg". I've been using "png" when drawing reference maps myself with MapServer.

Message-ID: <20110517121156.GB1889@crusaders.no> Hi. I have a pointlayer with about 10000 points (will probably become 25000 later), and I want to find the nearest point when I click in the map. To solve this, I've loaded the layer into qgis, and using the mmqgis plugin, I created a voronoi diagram layer. I'm now serving this layer with mapserver, and a click on the map will trigger a GetFeatureInfo request from this layer, which returns the metadata from the corresponding point. Everything works fine, but I get this nagging feeling that I've overcomplicated things, so I'm wondering: 1. Can mapserver find the nearest point directly? If so, how do I set it up? 2.

Tolerance defines a bbox of what subset of points to calc distance from, then just sorting by distance to get your answer. You can do this with just SQL and little code np.

The main reason behind this limitation is that GetFeatureInfo is only loosely defined in the spec and there is no predictable way for MapServer (or any WMS client) to ingest a GetFeatureInfo response and do something meaningful with it (other than just forwarding the contents of the response without trying to interpret it).

File /tmp/mapserv/4dd50e3f_54c_0..tmp.gml appears to be GML but the GML reader can't be instantiated, likely because Xerces support wasn't configured in. What am I doing wrong?

Using the CGI, if you issue a "mode=xxxquery" call with "savequery=true" MapServer will write a file that serializes the query parameters to a temporary file. Then, if you make a call with "mode=map" with "queryfile=queryfile name.qy" MapServer will execute that query and render a query map instead of a regular map. The trick is how the file is named. MapServer CGI generates a unique ID each time it's run and it's used to name all temp files including the queryfile. Format is "map name + id.qy". You can access that ID via template. Often that's not possible and you might want to generate it yourself (as a pseudo-session id) and pass it using the id CGI param. This way the queryfile name is known on the client. In OpenLayers-land I've used query files successfully to maintain a selection overlay layer even for complex queries. You can even maintain cache multiple queries using multiple session ids. Let me know if you need more info.

Whereas before there were nice tapered edges and smoothing, there is now a strange black / blue /green border around all of our pngs. I read through the upgrade documentation, and it seems like there have been a number of changes to the way in which rasters are rendered, but I can't figure out the element(s) that I might be able to adjust to get the rasters to look fabulous again. Has anyone run into this particular issue? I've attached before / after pngs. Thank you!

We are developing an application that will use both QGis and/or a web browser as the front end. Basically, we have large image files we will be sending as a background layer, and we want to overlay them with points having various attributes. The user should be able to click on each of the points and read off that point's attributes. This works well if we load our background image through a WMS layer and load the points via a shapefile as a vector layer in QGis; points are displayed atop the image and are clickable, bringing up a table of attributes for the selected point. In QGis, at least, adding the shapefile to the WMS mapfile does not permit clicking on points in the UI. It is not possible for the user to obtain shapefiles locally, so we need a solution that will allow both sets of information to be sent through a web service. Will WFS allow raster images to be embedded? Documentation seems to indicate not, but isn't quite clear. We can insist that the user open both a WMS and WFS layer, but this gets messy; we would really prefer a single data stream solution.

Best regards, Tamas 2011/5/19 Keith Moss Hi all, Just noticed an issue with the new 'UNION' layer type in MapServer 6. With 'STYLEITEM AUTO' set the styles are inherited for GetMap requests but, it seems, not for GetLegendGraphic requests.

Forest, This is the expected behavior. The typical approach to this problem is to produce a new "reduced resolution" shapefile with less refined features and less important features discarded and then use this as a distinct layer in your mapfile. The "full resolution" shapefile would be used at some scales and the simplified shapefile was be used at other scales. There are keywords you can place in Map LAYERs to restrict the layers to only be used at particular scales.

I've made all of the style / symbology changes required by Version 6, as well as adding the "wms_enable_request" "*" line to the WEB section. My raster and shapefile layers work fine. Any mapfile that has a postgis layer won't work at all. On a GetCapabilities request, the cgi executable just churns away at 100% CPU usage, but never produces a result. A GetMap request produces the same result. I running on windows 7, and I've tried the binaries from both MS4W as well as the ones available from Tamas. I also tried to roll my own, but all returned the same results. It doesn't appear to be a problem with the mapfile or the postgis access, because shp2img produces images just fine. It's only WMS requests that don't work. An example mapfile is below. It works fine with shp2img, but hangs on any WMS request.

In currently running Mapserver 5.6 on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 (compiled from source, no issues). Wanting to test version 6, I compiled the latest Mapserver 6 release on Redhat Enterprise Linus 5. I updated the required libraries (gdal, gd, png, jpg, etc) and it did compiled successfully. Running ./mapserv -v list out the usual configuration parameters. However, when creating a map from a mapfile using cgi-bin, the map is drawn correctly except for the map background. All maps are drawn with a yellow background color. It's as if the first decimal value is set to zero or is missing (e.g., version 6 is rendering IMAGECOLOR as 255 255 0 instead of the 0 255 0 I specify in the mapfile).. I've recompiled, checked the gdal, gd and png versions, tried different mapfiles, etc., but the color shift issue persists.

I just tested a postgis layer (PostgreSQL 8.4.1, PostGIS 1.4.0) displayed in MapServer 6.0.0 with MS4W 3.0.2 (and the 6.0 add-on), and I have no problems with a WMS GetCapabilities request. My advice is to install this on a fresh machine and re-test (maybe another PG dll is being used by mistake or something). And also follow each step suggested by Daniel.

There have been some advances in this area though now it is looking like a regression in your case. I would appreciate it if you could prepare a ticket with sufficient detail for me to reproduce the problem. Ideally a pointer to the dataset, your mapfile and a "shp2img" command demonstrating the problem. Make sure to have it assigned to "warmerdam" or to email me after the ticket is created.

Hi Nicolas, I think we need more information. What are you using to generate tiles: 1. mapserver mode=tile? This does not cache tiles 2. mapserver 5.6.x with the tilecache patch? Yes, this does cache tiles, but is deprecated and is not part of 6.0 3. tilecache.org tilecache configured to request tiles from mapserver? Yes this does cache tiles. 4. something else? What? While tilecache.org is a separate project and you can check with them on that, mod_geocache is a new apache module for caching tiles and worked well with a variety of tile requests, and proxying tile requests via WMS servers. This does cache tiles and it is replacing the mapserver tilecache patch. mod_geocache is going to be managed via the mapserver PSC with the goal to make mod_geocache more mapserver aware so configure and management of the two are more transparent. -Steve W From jgolinowski at codematix.de Mon May 23 00:12:34 2011 From: jgolinowski at codematix.de (Jana Golinowski) Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 09:12:34 +0200 Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem scaling symbols (ships) to their real size Message-ID: <4DDA08E2.3060506@codematix.de> Hi list, in our current project we need to display symbols for ships in real size at a certain scale. To realize this we use SYMBOLSCALEDENOM. The sizes of the ships are in meters and requesting that layer via WMS in a metric system (like EPSG:31467) gives us the results we want. Our Problem appears when requesting the layer in a system like EPSG:4326 (degree units). In that case the symbols are quite huge. Is there a way to get those symbols scaled to the correct real size in both kinds of reference systems? Greetings, Jana.

I make a query using this URL: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/mymap.map&mode=ITEMQUERY&QLAYER=Utenz&QITEM=ulm&QSTRING=130 I have this error: prepare_database(): Query error.

Mapserver writes "WHERE (504421)" and it should be "WHERE (ulm=504421)". It seems it does not pass the QITEM parameter. I'm using MapServer version 5.2.1 for windows. My mapserver layer is a postgis layer based on a postgis view. This is its definition: DATA 'the_geom from (SELECT "V_Utenze".the_geom AS the_geom, "V_Utenze".gid AS gid, "V_D_Bo"."ULM" AS ULM FROM public."V_Utenze", public."V_D_Bo" WHERE "V_Utenze".gid_civ = "V_D_Bo"."gid_civ") as subquery using unique ULM using srid=3004' Do you have some advice for me?

Using SIZEUNITS without SYMBOLSCALEDENOM isn't enough. In that case the symbols are not scaled but that's what I need. Changing MAP->PROJECTION to the projection of those layers (EPSG:4326) fixed the problem. Now the symbol sizes are ok for WMS request in metric and geographical systems. Greetings, Jana.

You can't do this within mapserver because each instance of mapserver is not aware that there are any other instances running. Presumably, you would have to look at Apache or IIS and see what controls there are to limit concurrent requests to a URL or something like that. I more basic question in my mind is what do you want to happen if this limit is exceeded. What would you expect the user experience would be if you were to make a limit+1 request? would it get rejected, queued up until another request finished? Anyway probably not a mapserver question other than to say mapserver does not do this. -Steve W From bfraser at geoanalytic.com Thu May 26 12:11:33 2011 From: bfraser at geoanalytic.com (Brent Fraser) Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 13:11:33 -0600 Subject: [mapserver-users] Question on predicates In-Reply-To: <4EFF8BB964547748A07CA32961810C041B50C390@SOM-TEAQASMAIL1.som.w2k.state.me.us> References: <4EFF8BB964547748A07CA32961810C041B50C390@SOM-TEAQASMAIL1.som.w2k.state.me.us> Message-ID: <4DDEA5E5.3040407@geoanalytic.com> Bob, If this is for your GeoMoose installation have a look at the "Search Parcels" function on the live demo (http://www.geomoose.org/demo/geomoose2/geomoose.html), and the [new] General Query Service doc (http://www.geomoose.org/services/query.php.html) Best Regards, Brent Fraser On 5/26/2011 12:13 PM, Bistrais, Bob wrote: > > I'm trying to construct a predicate to be used in a query.

Folks, I will just note that Apache + FastCGI makes it pretty easy to limit the number of concurrent requests being processed and when saturated the new requests are queued. I presume they would timeout after a while if there is just too much traffic.

And to expand on this, to make scalable systems, there is normally some layering of services. So while mapserver know how to render maps, Apache is what receives requests, queues them, knows how many requests are running, so this is the logical place to deal with this, not in mapserver. You can also place a load balancer in front of a farm of servers and have it route requests to the least loaded system. But this even starts to fail at some point, then you need to look at other solutions like caching tiles. In my 11+ years of working with mapserver, I can say that often mapserver is disk I/O bound, and that you can do stuff to speed that up which makes in CPU bound. It is best to test your setup to find where the bottlenecks are and then work on eliminating the top ones, then retesting to see how the bottlenecks have shifted. This optimizes a single mapserver, then you need to look at how to scale that maybe across multiple servers depending on your load and usage requirements. -Steve W From aborruso at tin.it Fri May 27 01:11:37 2011 From: aborruso at tin.it (iomeneandrei) Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 01:11:37 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [mapserver-users] OT: OSGeo Gallery Message-ID: <1306483897540-6410133.post@n2.nabble.com> Dear all, I do not know who manage OSGeo Gallery webpage - http://gallery.osgeo.org/ -, but there are a lot of website that do not seems to me OSGeo related.

Using GeoServer, you have posted this connection string: host=localhost dbname=osm password=sssst user=geo Using Mapserver, you have posted this other connection string: host=localhost dbname=osm password=******* user=geo You receive a "Database connection failed (could not connect to server: Permission denied)", this means that there's a problem with the connection parameters. I can see a "sssst" password (5 chars) with Geoserver test and a "*******" password (7 chars) with Mapserver test, are you sure that you're using the same password ??? Also, if you're using HBA, you have to do the Geoserver and the Mapserver test in the same machine because the ip address.

Richard, The only other things that I can think of that might be going on is that: 1. are you running selinux? try disabling this to see if the problem goes away 2. that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in apache does not include the libraries that are getting used at the commandline. or that you have multiple copies of the libraries installed, some from rpms and some from what you compiled and different stuff is being used under apache vs the commandline -Steve W From rdmailings at duif.net Fri May 27 09:00:20 2011 From: rdmailings at duif.net (Richard Duivenvoorde) Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 18:00:20 +0200 Subject: [mapserver-users] mapserver6 (was 5) postgis connection problem In-Reply-To: <4DDFC301.8020302@swoodbridge.com> References: <4DDECCEA.6010400@duif.net> <4DDF6C55.4010704@duif.net> <198566.61767.qm@web38206.mail.mud.yahoo.com> <4DDFC21B.60009@duif.net> <4DDFC301.8020302@swoodbridge.com> Message-ID: <4DDFCA94.5020503@duif.net> On 05/27/2011 05:28 PM, Stephen Woodbridge wrote: > 1. are you running selinux? try disabling this to see if the problem > goes away That's the trick ....

I am restricting the query using an attribute in the table (road type). In examining the query sent to Oracle, it seems to query by attribute first, then by spatial envelope. For datasets that only return a few features in the attribute query, this seems fairly efficient. However, for datasets that return many features in the attribute query that lie over a large spatial area, it would seem more efficient to limit by spatial envelope first, then by attributes, especially if the query area is relatively small compared to the spatial extent of the dataset. Can the user be allowed to set the spatial/attribute query order? Example query - attribute query is executed first, then spatial. For small spatial areas, the query might be faster if the spatial filter were executed first.

I've been tracking down the changes in SVN and came to the conlusion that this behaviour has been introduced with http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/changeset/2172 8 years ago. I'd be curious to know if this approach is satisfactory for all users, or would it be more convenient to show an empty rectangle in these cases? I would personally be in favour of drawing a rectangle in order to make it clear that the layer type is polygon and not line. Or is there any other reason that I'm not aware of, which makes the current approach more compelling? Best regards, Tamas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Capture the SQL and send it directly with SQL*Plus by giving first "set autotrace on". By doing that Oracle will print the execution plan which will give more information. Oracle is usually willing to utilise spatial index very soon in the plan, but with complicated views with many odd joins it is not necessary so. -Jukka Rahkonen- Stuart.Harlan wrote: > I am querying an Oracle Spatial table.

Does postgis use tcp/ip by default for connecting? It will depend on the host based authentication of your postgres instance - if you do not have an entry for your client machine in the pg_hba.conf file, you won't be able to connect from pgadmin, or psql. But you are more likely to have a trust setting for connections from localhost, so mapserver won't have the same problems. it isn't set to trust anyone, (which it absolutely shouldn't be), vis : psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "46.21.168.170" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html cheers Ben From mikesaunt at gmail.com Mon May 30 15:22:09 2011 From: mikesaunt at gmail.com (Mike Saunt) Date: Mon, 30 May 2011 23:22:09 +0100 Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer WMS requests with SLD shows extra layers Message-ID: Hi All Wondering if anyone knows if this is correct or not. I'm using MapServer 5.6.6 on Windows. I have a WMS where I specify an SLD for a layer - say called A (the SLD has a NamedLayer entry for that layer A) - and in the URL I specify the SLD path and also the layers that I want - let's say A, B - everything is great. The issue (or feature!) that arises is that if I leave the SLD in the URL and DON'T specify layer A (but do specify say B) I still get A coming through on the Map - is it because it has a NamedLayer entry in the SLD file. This causes an issue for us as we're starting to use SLD's more and more and are trying to avoid rewrite the SLD on the server if we turn a layer on or off - I'd have thought the LAYERS parameter would handle this as it does for every other type of request to MapServer. Hopefully this makes sense - anyone have any clues? Thanks Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Write a php ajax function that queries your data base for the buildings and returns an XML or GeoJSON doc to OpenLayers and load the features into a layer over you google layer. http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.10/examples/xml.html http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.10/examples/geojson.html http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.10/examples/google-v3.html http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.10/examples/ http://www.openlayers.org/ You can set the layer up so on every pan/zoom you re-query the database based on the view port extents to get the features you need. If the total feature count is under 500, you can probably just load them all initially and not issue additional requests. If you pass the gid of each feature to OpenLayer and display it as a vector layer, you can then use the select tool on that layer so when the user selects the building they will get highlighted. Then add a button to get the convex hull, and when this button is pressed get the list of gid of the selected objects and issue an ajax request to your PHP with the list of gids and have it run sql like: select astext(st_convexhull(st_collect(the_geom))) from buildings where gid in (); and have it return the result. Then you can all that as a feature to the your vector layer or a results layer. You will probably also want to add a clear button to clear the selected buildings and convex hull. At this point, you might want to take this over to the openlayers list because you can probably do all this with using mapserver. Also you should look at the source code of the openlayers examples, they are designed to be very simple so you can use them as spring board to building bigger applications. -Steve > Please let me know. > > Thank you, > > > > On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 4:12 PM, Stephen Woodbridge > > wrote: > > I think you need to think through the whole flow of this application and > answer questions like: > > 1. the user selects a polygon(s) > how does this happen? > where are the polygons? in the client, or on the your server, or on > google's server? > How did they get display on the page because this will determine what > the selection process needs to be. > > 2. create a convex hull from the select polygons > if you are creating the convex hull in postgis, then you need to get the > selections to your postgis server. > where is the postgis server? > Where are the selected polygons? > > 3. now you have a convex hull > what do you want to do with it? display it on the map? do you want to > draw it as a vector object or draw it as an image overlay?

I've succeded using an SLD parameter on my querystring but I can not get the same result removing the sld url from the querystring and writing it into wms_sld_url paramenter (into LAYER metadata tag). I have done that as told here:http://mapserver.org/ogc/sld.html But it seems that wms_sld_url is only useful when using mapserver as a WMS client. I would like to render my maps using SLD files instead of the STYLE label to avoid programming on my client application. Have you got any idea?
