[mapserver-users] CGI Tilemode blank on one layer

Thu Dec 24 07:45:24 PST 2015

Since you have no scale dependencies or anything like that I don’t know why… You have some spurious layer definitions (no need for TILEITEM or UNITS) but I don’t think that’s the problem. The most obvious cause would be that you’re viewing an area where there is ocean but no Kenya. What happens if you request both layers in the same tile?

Thats true Steve,

Its actually rendering in the non tiled setting. I wonder how come its one layer not rendering in tilemode while the other one is. Both render ok in non tile setting.

It will look at the extent of shapefiles to decide if it needs to process features in a layer but that’s to be expected. I mean, if there’s nothing to draw then why bother. Have you verified that the layers render in a non-tiled setting?

Thank you Steve for your response.

I have tried commenting out the extents but still the same problem. I think it recognizes the inbuilt extents of the data layers.

hallo people,

I would greatly appreciate some help with Mapserver Tile mode. Eeven a hint in the right direction would be much appreciated. I am trying to display two layers in Tile mode in open layers as follows

1. http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?MAP=/var/wpsinput/gdss.map&layer=kenyaoutline&mode=tile&tile=${x}+${y}+${z}.png<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?MAP=/var/wpsinput/gdss.map&layer=kenyaoutline&mode=tile&tile=$%7bx%7d+$%7by%7d+$%7bz%7d.png>

2. http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?MAP=/var/wpsinput/gdss.map&layer=10m_ocean&mode=tile&tile=${x}+${y}+${z}.png<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?MAP=/var/wpsinput/gdss.map&layer=10m_ocean&mode=tile&tile=$%7bx%7d+$%7by%7d+$%7bz%7d.png>

The problem arises in that one layer the 10m_ocean displays while the other one just shows a blank. I suspect it has to do with the extents because the 10m_ocean layers has a large extent from -180 to 180 while the kenyaoutline layer only covers one country from about 33 to 37 degrees.

Is there a limitation to small extents in tile mode? or what could be the problem. My mapfile is as below.

The same happens when i try to view it using QGIS Tilelayer plugin.
