[mapserver-users] mapcache kml--how to use?

[thomas bonfort]

Peter,
The KML address to use would be
http://mrdata.usgs.gov/mapcache/kml/sgmc@WGS84.kml
However there seems to be something very wrong with your setup... Are
you piggybacking mapcache onto itself, i.e. does your mapcache.xml
point to wms sources who's url also starts with http://mrdata.usgs.gov
(or even very worse, http://mrdata.usgs.gov/mapcache) ? In that case
you have a risk of deadlock, the probability and/or frequency of which
are dependant on the webserver configuration, and that can be very
high if you're using mapcache as a source for itself. You can send me
your mapcache.xml file offlist if you want me to have a look.

regards,
thomas
