Re: [Geoserver-users] Symlinks for data sub-directories?

[Derek]

Hi Ben

Thanks for testing on your side as well.  I am a bit stuck here, as moving
a large volume of data files across to a machine not meant to store them
does not seem like a good option.  It also means that we cannot use one
GeoServer instance to "point" to multiple locations unless we can get
symlinks to work.

Any other ideas or tests I can run?

Thanks
Derek

Re: [Geoserver-users] Symlinks for data sub-directories?

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

Derek,

selinux is not present and is not your problem.

I tested adding a shapefile using GeoServer 2.5.2, then moving the 
directory away, and substituting a symlink. The shapefile continued to 
work. As far as I can tell, you are doing everything right.

The user interface is a bit broken in my browser, but that is a separate 
issue. It was equally broken with and without the symlink. I had to 
manually edit the url.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Re: [Geoserver-users] Publishing Directory of Spatial Files

[Jody Garnett]

You can set up a layer group. It is not quite enough to show a directory of
files, as often the layers need to be in a specific order - and styled to
work together. In general we are trying to publish maps.

However there is some good news, the functionality you are describing is a
better match for a catalog, such as the GeoNextwork project (
http://geonetwork-opensource.org ). It can offer a title, description and
preview of spatial files (letting people search rather than download one by
one).

Dear Jody,

I know it can publish in FTP. But, I want my directory can be showed like
layer preview in GeoServer. Then, user can download it.
I think, GeoServer should release a new version that can show directory
preview. Because, I think it is important so that user does not search the
file one by one. But, the user can download all the directory the user need.

Thank you.

Re: [Geoserver-users] Connecting with OpenLayers

[Jody Garnett]

That does sound odd? I am jumping into this conversation late - in order to
ask you to check the base url setting, you need to use it when deploying
GeoServer behind a proxy server.

http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/webadmin/server/globalsettings.html

That said, if the layer preview is not respecting this setting we have a
bug to report.

GeoServer publishes one layer at a time, to publish a directory use an FTP
server?

How easy it was to connect to PostGIS. Just a few clicks and I could see

Re: [Geoserver-users] Connecting with OpenLayers

[Phil Scadden]

well a few experiments here suggest the OL preview is using the 
httprequest to generate the url in the preview.

eg.
if I log into my geoserver as maps/geoserver, then the OL link in the 
preview is


http://maps:80/geoserver/openlayers/OpenLayers.js  
http://maps.gns.cri.nz/geoserver/openlayers/OpenLayers.js>

and if I log into geoserver as maps.mydomain.com/geoserver, then the source 
link is
http://maps.mydomain.com:80/geoserver/openlayers/OpenLayers.js  
http://maps.gns.cri.nz/geoserver/openlayers/OpenLayers.js>

Is that a hint?

Hey there Phil,

Yep, thanks for the advice on running the production server version of 
OL separately from the default install shipped with GeoServer...that's 
exactly what we're doing. We don't have trouble with finding the OL 
libraries in our external applications...that's all fine.

I probably wasn't clear earlier: the only thing I'm trying to do is get 
the GeoServer's OL preview to work.

As a GeoServer Admin, I simply want to use the Preview>OpenLayers 
option. That's where we get the error as our GeoServer is looking for 
the OL library at http://127.0.0.1/ etc

I manually scanned every xml config file I could find last night and 
still can't work out why GeoServer is trying to find the OL library via 
a localhost IP address.

Just to be clear:

1. Login to GeoServer as Admin

2. Go to Layer Preview, choose any layer (even the pre-installed examples)

3. Choose to Preview via OpenLayers

4. Get an error in the image display (ie, there is no map shown...the 
surrounding frame is shown)

5. Look at the page source or use Firebug>Console. Reported error is 
"undefined element openlayers"

6. Note that the preview page is trying to load OpenLayers javascript 
from 127.0.0.1

7. Be confused...ask for help!

Thanks again for your patience: can't wait to find out where I've gone 
wrong.

Kind regards,
JB

Re: [Geoserver-users] Limiting rendering for large resultsets

[cmaul]

Laurent,

I've got the same problem with our cadastre, i.e. rural and urban
properties. My way around was to filter using the 'Local Government'
attribute. The result is a bit crude and the SLD is large, but it works
well. If you have got a similar attribute in your dataset that would be
simplest solution.

Disadvantaqe is: Users suddenly see nothing where they know that there are
parcel.

Increasing the time-out is not a good idea because after 60 secs (which is
the default) people are long gone and the only effect is you put a load on
your DB server. Nobody is that patient anymore. 

I have actually a time-out of 30 secs.

Cheers

Christian

The OL that comes with Geoserver is really just there to support Layer 
preview. It isnt used for anything else. For your own applications, you 
would point to your own version of OL on your application server (which 
would typically be a completely different server to the one geoserver is 
running on). In my opinion, you want your own version of OL, where you 
use the OL custom build tools to bring in only what you need and where 
you can patch as required.

[Geoserver-users] Best GeoServer Features

[Jody Garnett]

Andrea and myself have a talk lined up for FOSS4G ... covering the "best"
features of GeoServer in a "feature frenzy" 30 second sound bite format.
This is to counteract our "State of GeoServer" talks - where we only get a
look at what is new.

To help please answer the following questions:

1. What makes GeoServer great for you?
2. What feature do you always enable?
3. Is there an extension which totally made a project possible for your or
a customer?
4. What surprised you when you first installed GeoServer?
5. What community module do you wish was part of GeoServer 2.6?

Re: [Geoserver-users] FW: Response Geotiff comparisons between Geoserver 2.2.4 and 2.5

[Bessette-Halsema, Dominique E]

I'm not quite sure I understand the response from Jody.  If she's asking about 
the corner coordinates, then yes, they are in lat/lon order, i.e.

Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  (   2.445,-101.307) (  2d26'40.63"E,101d18'25.06"S)
Lower Left  ( -31.566,-101.307) ( 31d33'57.98"W,101d18'25.06"S)
Upper Right (   2.4446182, -86.1893900) (  2d26'40.63"E, 86d11'21.80"S)
Lower Right ( -31.5661050, -86.1893900) ( 31d33'57.98"W, 86d11'21.80"S)
Center  ( -14.561, -93.748) ( 14d33'38.68"W, 93d44'53.43"S)


The bigger concern is why making a WCS 1.1.1 getCoverage request with the full 
bounding box (-120.0038771,-65.0093883,-44.9961229,65.0093883) will result in 
an image of width/height 2055x3562 (as expected, the size of the original 
tiff), whereas giving a smaller bounding box 
(-101.30696,-31.566105,-86.18939,2.4446182) gives a response scaled to the 
original width resulting in an image of w/h 2055x4624 (instead of 414x931, as 
expected).  Is this by design to scale the response to its original width?


Thanks.

Interesting, can I ask you to double check which answer is correct? For WCS it 
is likely that the result is expected in lat / lon order (in which case this 
change represents an issue being fixed).

I noticed differing metadata information when I do a gdalinfo on the returned 
decoded tiff file.  (Attached above.)

The main differences being that
For 2.2.4,
- the width/height is 414x931  (as expected, since it's a slice of the 
original 2055x3562 image)
- the Band 1 Block=256x256
- the corner coordinates are correct
For 2.5,
- the width/height is 2055x4624  (the original being 2055x3562)
- the Band 1 Block=2055x19
- the corner coordinates lon/lat values are swapped


Does anyone know if there is some configuration with the tile sizing that was 
done for Geoserver 2.2.4 that we missed for Geoserver 2.5?  The large Band 
Block sizes are large (i.e. 8220x14 for a 8220x974 image) even when we directly 
bypass the satellite coverage plugin and request it through Geoserver 2.5's 
built-in GeoTIFF plugin.

Any insight will be helpful.

Thanks,

Does anyone have any insight into this?  I find it hard to believe that I'm the

data" tutorial from the GeoServer documentation doesn't work with GeoServer 
2.5.1 as written.

Tracing into the GeoServer source code it appears the error is coming out of 
the below lines in the org.geoserver.catalog. ResourcePool class but I don't 
understand why:

ResourcePool.java:

...
private GridCoverageReader getGridCoverageReader(CoverageStoreInfo info,

// readers might change the provided hints, pass down a

I'm using GeoServer 2.5.1 and PostGIS 2.1.3

I'm trying to run through the tutorial in GeoServer docs "Using the ImageMosaic 
plugin for raster time-series data" and I don't think I've deviated at all from 
the steps from 
(http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/tutorials/imagemosaic_timeseries/imagemosaic_timeseries.html#id3)
 except to call my "TimeAttribute" "ingest_time" instead of "ingestion", and I 
get the below stacktrace in the GeoServer log and my Coverage Store fails to be 
created.

I'm using the DBMS approach for storing the dimension attributes and spatial 
index and I see that a new table called "snow" is added to my database, however 
the ImageMosaic is not created.  Is there some step missing in this tutorial?  
I'm having a difficult time understanding what problem the operation is having 
with my configuration as the message in the stacktrace is a bit too generic:

Jared made a pull request to upgrade the editor component some time ago,
and I've
followed it up by adding a browser detection bit (because this new editor
does not
work on old IE versions).
This might be the cause.

Jared, any chance you have time to look into it?

Hello,
We have geoserver based WMS services that display a quite large network (lots 
of points and polylines stored in an Oracle Spatial database).

When in the cities, the number of items can be very large
In the countryside, of course, the density of polylines is quite low.

If I try to render  a whole city, since there are too many items to render, the 
request will timeout.

You can increase the max rendering time in the WMS panel

But if I set a scale condition to avoid drawing thousands of lines when in a 
large city, users complain that they can’t find the cables when in the 
countryside…

So my question was : is there a way to tell geoserver to render a blank image 
if there are more than n items in the Oracle resultset ?
That way, I could keep a large scale in my TLD without going timeout in areas 
where there is a high density of items.

No, there is no such functionality. It is of course possible to add it, but 
we'd need to make
an extension to SLD, the limit would have to be specified at the 
FeatureTypeStyle or Rule levels

Once the existed style is selected from the list and I press the Copy... link 
nothing happens. With GS 2.5.2 I get a dialogue which asks "Really want to

Hey there Phil,
Thanks for this advice, much appreciated:

Yep, so I can see that the preview page is calling for the inclusion of 
assets from localhost: 
http://127.0.0.1:8080/geoserver/openlayers/theme/default/style.css

Which is never going to work.
Problem is...where is this configured? Where would I go to tell 
GeoServer how to find the OpenLayers assets?
My grepping is atrocious...guess I'll start pecking through the config 
files to see if I can find it.
Thanks in advance for any clues!

Re: [Geoserver-users] Printing module sample page

[Mauro Bartolomeoli]

Hi Jonathan,
we are aware of the issue, there is already a JIRA for this:
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6566

We are thinking of the best way to replace that page, probably by a link to
the local print demo page, or something similar.

Thanks
Mauro

You can increase the max rendering time in the WMS panel

No, there is no such functionality. It is of course possible to add it, but
we'd need to make
an extension to SLD, the limit would have to be specified at the
FeatureTypeStyle or Rule levels

Re: [Geoserver-users] Limiting rendering for large resultsets

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Laurent,
One possible solution - two datasets.

- Use a urban-areas polygon to clip the data into two datasets - one with
urban areas, the other rural.

- Style them both with different scale thresholds.

- Put both of them into the same layerGroup.

To your users it'll appear as a single layer while being optimised for
viewing at both scales.

---
Alternately rather than splitting the dataset, add an attribute/field to
the dataset that indicates if it is urban/rural. Load as a single layer
with an SLD which has two rules, and use a filter to distinguish between
them.

Hopefully that helps,
Jonathan

[Geoserver-users] Limiting rendering for large resultsets

[PREVOSTO, Laurent]

Hello,
We have geoserver based WMS services that display a quite large network (lots 
of points and polylines stored in an Oracle Spatial database).

When in the cities, the number of items can be very large
In the countryside, of course, the density of polylines is quite low.

If I try to render  a whole city, since there are too many items to render, the 
request will timeout.
But if I set a scale condition to avoid drawing thousands of lines when in a 
large city, users complain that they can't find the cables when in the 
countryside...

So my question was : is there a way to tell geoserver to render a blank image 
if there are more than n items in the Oracle resultset ?
That way, I could keep a large scale in my TLD without going timeout in areas 
where there is a high density of items.

Regards,

Laurent

Re: [Geoserver-users] Symlinks for data sub-directories?

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

Derek,

can you show us the contents of the datastore.xml file in your data 
directory that defines this data store?

What platform are you using? CentOS / RedHat often have selinux 
enforcing; this additional security mechanism may prevent tomcat7 from 
accessing some files. If you have selinux security contexts, you can see 
them with:

ls -alZ /mnt/sdi/spatial
ls -alZ /mnt/sdi/spatial/city/planning

Is this a network mount? What sort of filesystem? ext4, VFAT, or NTFS? Try:

mount | grep /mnt/sdi

It would also be helpful if you have a stack trace from the geoserver 
logs when this error occurs. This may give us more detail about the 
underlying error.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Re: [Geoserver-users] Symlinks for data sub-directories?

[Derek]

Hi Ben

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, the permissions look OK.  Using your command,
for example, ls -al /mnt/sdi/spatial/city/planning, I get this listing for
a directory containing a shapefile that I am trying to access:

drwxrwxrwx 2 tomcat7 tomcat7  4096 Feb 26 09:37 .
drwxrwxrwx 7 tomcat7 tomcat7  4096 Aug  5 10:57 ..
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 47966 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.dbf
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7   145 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.prj
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7  1556 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.sbn
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7   196 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.sbx
-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7108300 Feb 26 09:37

-rw-rwxrwx 1 tomcat7 tomcat7  1212 Feb 26 09:37
CoT_master_sbc_2010_poly_wgs84_1.shx

Is there something else that needs to be changed?

Derek
