Re: [mapserver-users] upgrade Mapserver 5.4 to 6.0 (gulp!)
Hi Chris, I'm a Suse/Ubuntu user, in both cases totally because of the well supported GIS related packages for these distros. So I have completely avoided the issues are facing right now :-) Though I'd imagine it will not be long before 6.0 is available natively for Fedora, given 5.6 is supported. I'm not too familiar with the RH Linux family, but the OpenSuse Geo repository partially supports Centos RH4/5, and I have found the maintainers there to be very helpful. If a RH or Centos build will be compatible with Fedora, it would be worth asking around there. Mapserver is not currently built for these distros, but someone may be prepared to do this for you. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/ Personally, I'd suggest you switch to a distro that does what you want, if that includes well maintained supported, pre-built mapserver ( related) packages, Ubuntu OpenSuse are well worth considering.

RE: [mapserver-users] upgrade Mapserver 5.4 to 6.0 (gulp!)
Hi Brent Thank you for your very helpful comments, much appreciated. It is pretty clear to me that I have to start by changing my elderly Fedora to something better suited to supporting GIS applications including Mapserver 6.0. It is strange - I'm not at all afraid of PHP/Mapscript (although the documentation is not great) or of Javascript, but the whole Linux world is just so confusing that I get a form of paralysis by analysis soon after I start trying to compare the different options. Anyway I will certainly take a look at Ubuntu / OpenSuse.

[mapserver-users] MapServer Fails
We have several NITF images that can be successfully translated to, say, PNG or GTiff format using a gdal_translate command similar to the following: gdal_translate -ot Byte -of GTiff -scale -b 3 -b 2 -b 1myNitf.ntf ~/myGTif.tif However, we are having trouble getting MapServer to serve these images. We get what looks like a single pixel, greatly enlarged to fill the entire returned image file, showing one or two colors from the input image. We have adjusted the BBox to encompass larger areas with no success. MapServer is configured at DEBUG level 5, both CPL_DEBUG and PROJ_DEBUG are enabled, but no error messages occur during processing; the same is true when running mapserv on the command line, feeding it the query string from the browser request - no errors, and an image consisting of a block of one or two solid colors is returned. Any thoughts on A) how to configure the mapfile, B) how to further investigate what is going on?

Re: [mapserver-users] upgrade Mapserver 5.4 to 6.0 (gulp!)
Just my opinion. But the koolest thing is we do have choices!! ELGIS is nice, but I found it more limited in terms of supported packages (that I use anyway) speed of update to new versionscompared to both OpenSuse Ubuntu. My computer use pretty much revolves around Open Source GIS stuff ( has done for over 10 years now). I've been a somewhat promiscuous Linux user, jumping to whichever made my life easiest for a click go Linux GIS workstation. For a few years, OpenSuse ruled my desktop, but for the last 18 months or so I have felt UbuntuGIS has the edge. There are still things I prefer about OpenSuse, some nice things about Fedora too, but for something that just installs and runs on desktops, notebooks netbooks, has a full, well maintained GIS repository, with everything I need (almost anyway - no hi res full res GHSSH for GMT :-), for now I'm running Ubuntu. I'm not saying it's best for everyone, just passing on my experience.

It is pretty clear to me that I have to start by changing my elderly Fedora to something better suited to supporting GIS applications including Mapserver 6.0. It is strange – I’m not at all afraid of PHP/Mapscript (although the documentation is not great) or of Javascript, but the whole Linux world is just so confusing that I get a form of paralysis by analysis soon after I start trying to compare the different options. Anyway I will certainly take a look at Ubuntu / OpenSuse.

Hi Chris, I'm a Suse/Ubuntu user, in both cases totally because of the well supported GIS related packages for these distros. So I have completely avoided the issues are facing right now :-) Though I'd imagine it will not be long before 6.0 is available natively for Fedora, given 5.6 is supported. I'm not too familiar with the RH Linux family, but the OpenSuse Geo repository partially supports Centos RH4/5, and I have found the maintainers there to be very helpful. If a RH or Centos build will be compatible with Fedora, it would be worth asking around there. Mapserver is not currently built for these distros, but someone may be prepared to do this for you. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/ Personally, I'd suggest you switch to a distro that does what you want, if that includes well maintained supported, pre-built mapserver ( related) packages, Ubuntu OpenSuse are well worth considering.

I have read the documentation and realise that there will be quite a few changes to my mapfile(s). I'm not at all worried about that, it's just a question of patiently working through the changes. However I am very apprehensive of the upgrade itself. Before I installed the FGS package I spent many, many hours trying to compile and install Mapserver myself but eventually had to admit defeat and resort to FGS. Now there is no FGS to fall back on, I'm hoping for some guidance (or maybe just some encouragement!) Chris

[mapserver-users] Unable to render a raster with 4 bands
I have a GRD raster that I'm trying to show on the map using mapserver. Currently I'm getting all transparent output. I've converted it to TIF using gdal_translate and it converted fine. I also used shp2img to convert to png without any issues. Here is gdalinfo on the TIF file.
