Hi all, Original question was posted here: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/19459/tilecache-and-mapserver-not-producing-images-and-raising-parsing-error
Just a forewarning, I will try to be as extensive with my question as possible. Due to a number of reasons why this might not be working, I have posted all sorts of portions of my debugging below. Web map located here <http://rinnerweb.arts.ryerson.ca/moot2_dev> Tile cache is being setup as a test run for the "hii_5" layer in OpenLayers. MapServer is the backend. I am trying to get TileCache to cache images of my MapServer WMS. However, no images are produced. The TileCache is "trying" to load the tiles (as you can see on the live page), however, no images are returned. When I follow the path<http://rinnerweb.arts.ryerson.ca/cgi-bin/tilecache.cgi?LAYERS=HII_railroads&FORMAT=image/png&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:3857&BBOX=-10592586.767623,5113378.756775,-9340242.496373,6365723.028025&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256>of one of the image tiles, I see this error: An error occurred: File contains parsing errors: C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\tilecache.cfg [line 82]: ' type=WMS\n' [line 83]: ' url=http://141.117.104.183/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe\n' [line 84]: ' mapfile=C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/moot2_dev/hii_railroads.map\n' [line 85]: ' extension=png\n' [line 86]: ' layers=HII_railroads\n' File "C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\TileCache\Service.py", line 85, in _load config.read(files) File "C:\Python27\lib\ConfigParser.py", line 297, in read self._read(fp, filename) File "C:\Python27\lib\ConfigParser.py", line 538, in _read raise e - I've run a GetCapabilities<http://rinnerweb.arts.ryerson.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apache/htdocs/moot2_dev/hii_railroads.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities>request and there are no warnings - but GetMap<http://rinnerweb.arts.ryerson.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apache/htdocs/moot2_dev/hii_railroads.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=HII_railroads&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:3857&BBOX=-173.537,35.8775,-11.9603,83.8009&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=300&FORMAT=image/png>request returns a blank page - and the template<http://rinnerweb.arts.ryerson.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/moot2_dev/hii_railroads.map&>return blank Here are the relevant mapfile, tilecache.cfg, and openlayers source: Not sure how much help I will get here, but the questions out there for anyone to take a stab at it! ------------------------------ *hii_railroads.map* MAP #-> BEGIN MAP OUTPUTFORMAT #-> BEGIN OUTPUT FORMATTING DEFINITION NAME "png" # Name of format DRIVER AGG/PNG # Image driver MIMETYPE "image/png" # Type of image IMAGEMODE RGBA # Image mode EXTENSION "png" # Image filetype TRANSPARENT ON # Transparency END #-> END OUTPUT FORMATTING DEFINITION WEB #-> BEGIN WEB DEFINITION METADATA "wms_title" "HII_railroads" "wms_onlineresource" "http://rinnerweb.arts.ryerson.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/moot2_dev/hii_railroads.map&" "wms_srs" "EPSG:3857" "ows_enable_request" "*" END TEMPLATE "template.html" IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/" IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/" END #-> END WEB DEFINITION LAYER #-> BEGIN LAYER DEFINITION: Railroads <-# METADATA "wms_title" "HII_railroads" END NAME HII_railroads # Layer identifier DATA "data/wgs84/railroads_360.tif" # Name of the data (in this case, string identifying a raster) STATUS ON ------------------------------ *tilecache.cfg* [HII_railroads] type=WMS url=http://141.117.104.183/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe mapfile=C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/moot2_dev/hii_railroads.map extension=png layers=HII_railroads ------------------------------ *index.html* hii_5 = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("Railroads","../../cgi-bin/tilecache.cgi?",{ layers:"HII_railroads", format:"image/png"},{ isBaseLayer:false, transparent:true, format:"image/png", alpha:true, displayInLayerSwitcher:false }); Michael Markieta - (416) 833 5581 ------------------------------------------------------ Research Assistant - Department of Geography & Bachelor of Arts Candidate - Geographic Analysis Ryerson University Toronto, ON, Canada ------------------------------------------------------ www.spatialanalysis.ca
