Re: [mapserver-users] RE: mapserver-users Digest, Vol 29, Issue 39
Mark, I signed up for a VPS at slicehost -- the smallest slice has been fine so far. I set up Debian Lenny Linux with Apache webserver with the aid of slicehost articles found here: http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php http://articles.slicehost.com/sitemap Ubuntu would also be a good choice for OS, I think. I used the debian distro of mapserver described here: http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/mapserver. It's not the latest version (5.0.3) but works for me. One day I'll get around to compiling the latest distro for Debian. I'm using QuantumGIS on my PC to piece together the maps from GIS files, and exporting them via the mapfile exporter in QGIS. I wrote a ruby script to tweak the exported mapfile from QGIS to something usable for my mapserver implementation. The steepest learning curves were understanding the mapfile, template files, and mapscript. You will have to read through a lot of the documentation at: http://mapserver.org/documentation.html. You may not need to use mapscript, but I have found it useful. I'm using the Ruby implementation of mapscript SWIG. There's adequate documentation at the mapserver.org website and on the web in general for all but the Ruby implementation details, for which I had to dig into the source code. There's more documentation on the PHP implementation, but I'm using Ruby on Rails to manage everything on my site, so therefore chose the Ruby implementation. I also don't have much experience with CGI so I had to spend some time on that too. I'm using OpenLayers javascript as the user interface for mapserver. It took me a few days to get it working right. You have to set up your mapfiles to enable WMS, and set up the OpenLayers code just right to display them. The whole process took me several weeks of trial-and-error and study; now, of course, it seems easy!

[mapserver-users] Is there a problem with layers when serving WMS?
I'm putting together a map via Mapserver and WMS (MapServer version 5.6.1 on Ubuntu 10.04), serving a set of shapefiles. The basic approach is to have a pair of layers for each class of highways - interstate, US highways, state highways, local roads, etc. One layer in each pair draws the geometry, the other draws the labels. In this way, the user can turn the labels on and off, as needed. I'm having a problem with highway labels showing up nowhere near where the highways are. At my outermost zoom, all I'm displaying is the major highway geometry and the interstate names. That works OK. When I zoom in a bit, to where I start displaying the US highway names, I see names all over the place, drawn where there are no geometries. I zoom in a bit more, and they go away. (I'm viewing this with Quantum GIS, loading the maps as WMS layers). To help track down what is going on, I took one of the names, did an ogrinfo -where to identify that there was, in fact, a featured with that name in the US highways shapefile. I then extracted just those features into a new shapefile, using ogr2ogr, and then loaded that as a vector layer in Quantum GIS. The aim was to find out where the feature that matched that name actually was. It was nowhere near the label. I set the new vector layer to draw in red, and it was easy to see. With a label from the WMS properly drawn alongside. But 75+ miles away, 600+ pixels across the map, was another label for that feature, nowhere near the feature it was supposed to be describing. I've never seen anything quite like this. But then, I'm just figuring out how to use mapserver to serve WMS. Are there any known gotchas, when drawing label layers in WMS? ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
