[mapserver-users] Mapserver PostGIS Points Layer coming up blank

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

It can be the old STATUS=ON thing.  Either change it to STATUS=DEFAULT in the mapfile or add &layers=all into the request.

Circle error means that Mapserver cannot find a symbol named "circle". You will find reading about symbols from Mapserver documents.

Aihe: [mapserver-users] Mapserver PostGIS Points Layer coming up blank


Dear Mapserver List,

I've progressed to the point where the following does not show any errors but the subsequent map image is blank/white.
I confirmed INPUT=POSTGIS shows up with mapserv -v and I know the table is constructed properly because I can display it easily in QGIS.

Any help debugging this would be greatly appreciated.

I was successful rendering shapefiles with my mapserver installation.

Another possible clue is that if I uncomment the STYLE/SYMBOL line I get an error it can't find the following:
unable to open file /ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/circle for reading

Install :

MapServer version 6.0.3 from MS4W
PostGreSQL 9.0.13
PostGIS 2.0

Map File :

MAP
    NAME airports
    EXTENT -180 -90 180 90
    SIZE 1000 500

    LAYER
        CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
        NAME "airports"
        CONNECTION "host=localhost dbname=Business user=#### password=#### port=5432"
        PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"
        DATA "geomll From airports"
        STATUS ON
        TYPE POINT

        CLASS
            NAME "airportsClass"
            STYLE
                #SYMBOL 'circle'
                COLOR 255 22 22
            END
        END # Class
    END # Layer
END # Map File

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/airports.map&layer=airports&mode=map

This produces a black background with a 1000 pixel by 500 pixel white space in Firefox.
