[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapserver WMS ECW Datasource(s)

[Andrew Hughes]

Hey All, I would like to use ECW as a data source and have tried with the latest fgs (mapserver v4.6 and also tried with another install v4.8.1) but I am obviously having some trouble...... I have "rtfm" : http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data/#how-are-rasters-added-to-a-map-file I apologise going to the list for this information because I'm sure it has been covered before! But apparently you need a "LISTSERV password" to search the mailing list archieve's (wtf???) and signing up to the list did not provide me with a "LISTSERV password".... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firstly.... is there a way to turn debugging on??? My only debug message is "msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named 'ecw'."  Which is kind of obvious ;) ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secondly... perhaps there is something wrong with my layer definition (my other layers in this file work perfect)??? LAYER   NAME "ecw"   DATA "/var/ecw/my.ecw"   TYPE RASTER   STATUS ON   MINSCALE 00000.0   MAXSCALE 1000000.0 END --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thirdly, perhaps my "FGS" installation does not allow me to read ecw???????? azzabox:/opt/fgs# ./www/cgi-bin/mapserv -v MapServer version 4.6.0-beta2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, while I have you attention I know there are several free and public datasources.... I have found some Landsat available here: http://www.geotorrent.org/ and would welcome any further data sources! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many thanks in advance --AH p.s.
