Re: [mapserver-users] Remote map server - data tweaking

[Ruslan Nuryadin]

Hi,

When using Quantum GIS, I usually use SQL query where clause to filter
PostGIS dataset:
- at Add PostGIS Table(s) dialog, click Build query button
- fill in SQL where clause with any filter condition
- for bounding box filter, use intersection clause like

intersects(the_geom, 'SRID=4326;POLYGON((106 -7,107 -7,107 -6,106 -6,106 -7))')

this will filter dataset that closely match (106, -7) to (107, -6) bounding box

[mapserver-users] PHP mapscript using OracleSpatial

[Jessica Clarke]

Hi everyone, 
I successfully queried the same view twice in two separate layers in order to 
show two related shapes, but now I have decided that there are too many options 
(and thus too many mapfiles to create and combinations for the developers on 
the other end to handle) so I am trying to write a php script to generate the 
two new layers according to the parameters passed into the script via url. 
 
I'll paste in my code currently.  I have issues with oraclespatial, and I just 
keep getting errors that the layer can't be drawn.  I'm having a hard time 
finding examples of this use, so I'm just hoping someone might be able to point 
out where I'm going wrong.  The lack of error reporting from php hasn't been 
helping matters either ;) 
 
Please forgive me if I have made a (or several) silly mistake.  I'm new to php, 
oracle, and mapserver. 
 
Cheers, 
Jess

How can I put this in as a variable that MapServer can interpret?

Below is my sample code of the template.  I put [wms_title] in as the variable

Re: [mapserver-users] Remote map server - data tweaking

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Check this TinyOWS example 
http://mapserver.org/trunk/tinyows/openlayershowtotransactional.html

However, from what I know Qgis does not load all the features but only those 
which intersect the map window. "Open attribute table" seems to read the 
attributes from the whole table but for editing attributes of a single feature 
you can point it with the info tool and then open the "Edit feature form" with 
right click.

QGis is also a WFS-T client and it can be used for editing data through 
TinyOWS. The current QGis development version seems to miss the bounding box 
filter option so it is now downloading the whole table through WSF. Therefore 
it is unusable with big WFS layers at the moment. Let's hope they will 
re-activate the BBOX check box soon.

Aihe: [mapserver-users] Remote map server - data tweaking

Hi All

I am looking for a simple editing tool that will allow me to edit vector map 
data on my remote mapserver DB (postgres)
Ideally something like Potlatch 2 (From ww.osm.org)

I want to be able to download a small area of data, move a few notes on a line 
a bit (or delete it the line), and commit those changes to the DB.
I have used quantum GIS - It is good, but it seems to download all the data 
from the table, not just what is in view.

Not really a mapserver question, but somewhat related.

Any ideas welcome - thanks

Matt  :)

Re: [mapserver-users] World file creation

Jeff,

Most of us let a client-side (browser) JavaScript library like 
OpenLayers handle the screen <-> projection calculation (among a lot of 
other things).  have a look at GeoMoose (http://www.geomoose.org) as a 
framework to bring together the server-side and client-side components.

Hi Ya

yeah, you'd need ArcGIS Server ... which has a very big price tag on it. 
The best way to use MapServer Layers and Maps in other sw is WMS and/or 
WFS. Same for ArcGIS. See i.e.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver docs and i18n

[Yves Jacolin (Free)]

Hello,

I am now ok with this pull request from Thomas (we discussed on Francophone 
mailing list also). 

It could improve contribution from non technical user (if a pootle 
infrastructure exists, unfortunately which add more work for sysadmin).

apache?  You're not using the system apache?  If it's a major version change 
from the system apache, the APIs that php uses may have changed.

No need to set extension_dir, it defaults to the correct dir, which is not as 
you set it but includes the no-debug... subdir.

graceful is all that's needed: sudo apachectl graceful, but it probably doesn't 
matter.

  It's just a guess on my part.  There was a similar post on the

[mapserver-users] php_mapscript not being loaded

[Stefan Schwarzer]

Hi there,

I thought I would have finally got over with all the errors while installing 
everything anew (php, apache, postgres, mapserver). But hadn't tested mapserver 
yet… Did all the installation with the latest Kyngchaos libraries.

Running  "http://localhost/testphp.php";; but don't see any mapserver or 
mapscript. Nothing in there.

There is a "php_mapscript.so" in 
"/usr/local/php5cgi/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626". I added 
"extension = php_mapscript.so" to php.ini, as well as "extension_dir = 
"/usr/local/php5cgi/lib/php/extensions"". Restarted the server, "sudo 
/usr/sbin/apachectl restart". But still no Mapscript in testphp.php… Did it 
really restart and load php.ini now?. Any way to check that? It should work 
that way, no?

Thanks for any help!

Re: [mapserver-users] Python MapScript compile error

[Alan Boudreault]

Hmm... I think we already  ship MapServer with the C wrapper generated. 
IIRC, you can use the standard way to build the python module also, 
which does not require swig:


cd mapscript/python && python setup.py build && python setup.py install

[mapserver-users] mapserver fastcgi warnings when msQueryByPoint() Search returns no results

[Thomas Joseph]

I am not sure if this is a problem or not but I was wondering if anyone
else has experienced fastcgi warnings with every msQueryByPoint that
returns no results ?  Everything works as expected when querying a point
that returns a result or simply panning or zooming the map.  However,
when a user clicks on the map and the query returns no results the
fastcgi terminates the pid and creates a new one.  Is this normal
behavior ?  I am very much a novice with fastcgi but it seems like this
will slow things down and is counter intuitive to using fastcgi.  The
user experience is not affected but if we could make things faster that
would always be good.



We are using the following setup:

Ubuntu 64bit Server - 10.10

Mapserver 6.0.1

Apache/2.2.16

mod-fastcgi 2.4.6-1



Below I have included a except of the mapserver MS_ERRORFILE and the
apache2 error log:

Hi Ya

yeah, you'd need ArcGIS Server ... which has a very big price tag on it. 
The best way to use MapServer Layers and Maps in other sw is WMS and/or 
WFS. Same for ArcGIS. See i.e.
