[mapserver-users] Tool for configure mapfile
Hi! Is there a good tool (besides Emacs, vi, etc.pp.) for configuring a mapfile? Our mapfile gets bigger and bigger and it's getting very unhandlich. ;-) Perhaps there is already a faq for this?

Re: [mapserver-users] Tool for configure mapfile
I use Textpad for editing mapfiles. It has some syntax highlighting. INCLUDE's could be used to avoid very big files but debugging could be a bit harder.

Re: [mapserver-users] conf of MapServ+Apache.Lighttpd for better usability
This would be a good thing. That way, if you would zoom in to a location very quickly, you would also not have to wait for mapserver to render the outer zooms first (where you clicked through quite fast), but you would get your data first and the data you don't need anymore later. But i suppose this is not easy to realize. On 2 November 2010 18:40, Sebastian E. Ovide sebastian.ov...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Guys, I am using MapServer as a FastCgi (with lighttpd and Apache) connected to Oracle, PG, ESRI shapes, ESRI binary grids and MapInfo TAB files. There is a situation that makes the use of MapServer not very user friendly: An user A opens a map, activates a slow layer and drags the map around. This would add a lot of calls to the webserver that would launch many MapServer processes reaching the maximum number of processes. At the same time, there is another user B displaying another layer... this time a fast layer As the maximum number of processes has been reached, the webserver cannot create new processes until those alive finish their work, it cannot serve the other user... that is very annoying as The other user would have to wait a long time until the queue is processed and his map is displayed. Another similar situation is when the user A get annoyed as the map is not displaying and therefore decides to turn off the layer and turn on a different layer... say a fast layer... he still need to wait that all the MapServer processes finish the processing... That annoys the users that doesn't understand what is going on... and thinks that the server has crashed... Is there anyway to configure Apache/Lighttpd to give higher priority to the new calls ? (that means to conver the queue from FIFO to LIFO) I have configured Apache FastCgi to kill the old processes once a minute... but the process wont die... actually they would not die with a simple kill... they would die with only kill -9 !!!

Re: [mapserver-users] Tool for configure mapfile
All, One of the design features of GeoMoose was to allow for abstracting out each layer to it's own MapFile. Each layer has it's own Mapfile. This was done primarily to allow owners of data to stylize their respective datasets on their own with out affecting each other work. A side benefit has been that the MapFiles are all separate. Also, in separating the mapfiles out, it has allowed for some fairly large single layer mapfiles with some fairly comprehensive cartography (Long mapfiles of their own) It's something to thing about anyway. bobb On 11/3/2010 2:26 AM, Julian Wiersbitzki wrote: Hi!

[mapserver-users] Amazon EC2 vs. Collocation/Dedicated servers
Hey All, I just wanted to get an idea of what the general consessus is about what the best platform for running mapserver in a live environment for many users (in the tens of thousands). My company is trying to decide the best way to spend money on servers is for our mapserver application. We have just 2 layers in our map, but one of them is heavily data intensive and is too dynamic to be cached (to put it simply, it is a dynamic layer that uses a different png symbols for each feature), the other is a cached baselayer. The biggest concern is, what type of environment will allow us to quickly serve up not only cached tiles, but dynamic tiles as well, while still being able to handle tens of thousands of users. The two choices we are deciding between are Amazon EC2, or purchased servers in a collocation facility. I have put together a list of pros and cons of each, but I still wanted to get the opinion of the mapserver pros out there. So, if anyone has any thoughts, please write back. Thanks, -Adam P.S. We are also looking for a developer who knows the mapserver code like the back of their hand who may be able to modify mapserver to be optimized for our project. Any mapserver developer that is interested in a part-time contracted position, please reply to aeskr...@gmail.com with your resume as well as your hourly rate. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

[mapserver-users] Filter elements on multiple layers
Hey, I have a problem with filtering elements of multiple layers. My mapserver (version 5.2.1) is configured with two layers - layer1 and layer2. For better understanding see attachment: layer1 has black crosses and layer2 has red points. Now I try to get features by id - but I don't know the corresponding layer. Therefore I send the following request: http://my-server/fcgi-bin/mapserv?map=mymap.mapservice=WFSversion=1.1.0request=GetFeaturetypename=layer1,layer2filter= FilterOR PropertyIsEqualToPropertyNameID/PropertyNameLiteralidAofLayer1/Literal/PropertyIsEqualTo PropertyIsEqualToPropertyNameID/PropertyNameLiteralidBofLayer1/Literal/PropertyIsEqualTo PropertyIsEqualToPropertyNameID/PropertyNameLiteralidCofLayer2/Literal/PropertyIsEqualTo /OR/Filter In the response are some features missing but they exist in the shapefile. I found out following rules: 1. All features of layer2 (red points in attachment) are returned correctly. 2. Features of layer1 (black crosses) which are inside the blue frame are also returned correctly. 3. Features of layer1 which are outside the blue frame (bounds of layer2) are missing - if I filter the missing elements only on layer1 I get the features. Is this a bug or where is my mistake?

Hmm, I just tested this--it seems that you'd always get features where the envelopes for the results from each layer spatially intersect, (i.e. anything within the blue rectangle of your image).

Re: [mapserver-users] map file paths
John, Puneet, Being able to leave the .exe extension off in Windows is new to me and medium cool. Based on some rather foggy recollection, I think that it is limited to Apache. I don't think it works under IIS. But it's handy if you're developing on Windows and serving on *NIX. I'm kind of with Puneet in that I don't think multiple copies of binaries is generally good advise. However, under Windows (Apache or IIS) there is far less flexibility in wrapper scripts[1] than under *NIX, so I can see the appeal. Regards, Rich [1] The most common wrapper under Windows in an ASP script, which not only restricts you to IIS, but ASP has been superseded by ASPX, and I haven't seen an ASPX wrapper yet. You can install Perl (I know Puneet doesn't think a computer is worth booting if it doesn't have Perl) but that's just one more dependency for most Windows users. And it seems like there should be an option to wrap a CGI in PHP, but I have yet to find it.

Then, if a request goes to that file, set the MS_MAPFILE variable to the relevant map file. This has worked well for me so far. For example, my organization recently published our 15th geologic map of out state. I want people to refer to it as geomap15. Therefore, I copied and renamed mapserv.exe to geomap15 (no exe extension, file still in cgi-bin directory). Then, I have the following in my httpd.conf file: SetEnvIf Request_URI /cgi-bin/geomap15 MS_MAPFILE=C:/pathtomapfile/geomap15.map My URLs then look something like: http://maps.dgs.udel.edu/cgi-bin/geomap15?

I’m just wondering if there is a workaround so that I don’t need to specify the whole file path in my URL. Thanks. === David V. Hildebrand Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (403) 782-8239 In your Apache httpd.conf add: SetEnv MY_MAP C:/path/to/my/mapfile.map and then your URL can be: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=MYMAPmode=map Shorter URL, better security.
