Hi, Try this query DATA "the_geom FROM roads"
Or Call all the fields(whatever the fields available in table) in select query. Thank, Venkat. -----Original Message----- From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Ben Madin Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 12:18 PM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [mapserver-users] Blank PostGIS Layer G'day all, I am having generally excellent results with MapServer 5.2, but I am having a problem with a postgis layer not displaying, and no suggestion that it shouldn't from the logs. I imported a shapefile : shp2pgsql -s 4326 /Users/19022662/Geodata/healthmapper/LA/roads roads | psql prices in postgres I gave permission for the mapserver user to select from it : grant select on roads to gms_mapserver; My map layer : LAYER STATUS DEFAULT DEBUG 4 NAME "Roads" GROUP "Background" METADATA layer_title "Roads" END CONNECTIONTYPE postgis CONNECTION "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=prices password=badluck user=gms_mapserver" DATA "the_geom FROM ( SELECT gid, the_geom FROM roads ) AS foo USING UNIQUE gid USING SRID=4326" # DATA 'healthmapper/LA/roads' TYPE LINE PROJECTION "init=epsg:4326" END TRANSPARENCY 100 CLASS NAME "ROADS" OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255 symbol 'dashed' COLOR 255 0 0 END END and I don't get the layer (even with everything else turned off); Other postGIS polygon layers are showing fine. If I load the data directly from the shapefile, it is fine If I connect to the postgis layer from QGIS, it is fine.
