Re: [mapserver-users] SIZEUNITS set to meters

[Håvard Tveite]

I have not tested this for sizeunits meters, but for pixels
you need to set style MAXWIDTH (or MAXSIZE).

Hi list,

I'm trying to render a road given a certain width in meters.

To achieve that, I did use SIZEUNITS METERS in the LAYER definition.

I'm using this layer via WMS in QGIS. At small scales (1:10'000), this is 
working great, the roads is well-sized regarding its real width, but as soon as 
I zoom in and have a larger scale then approximately 1:5'000, then this is not 
working anymore and the line width stays constant the more I zoom in.

I'm using MapServer 6.0.3. I did partially copy the mapfile content hereunder.

I think that I tried almost every possible parameter combination (like using 
MINSIZE, MAXSIZE, MINWIDTH, and so on), but nothing seems to work…

Did anyone ever encounter that issue ? Am I doing sometime wrong ?

Best regards

Michael

Re: [mapserver-users] Valid extents for shape file, World Wind WMS Client

[jonathanknez]

Steve,

*Your suggestions worked.* I am now able to use my MapServer to serve a
shapefile to my World Wind client. 

1. I changed the projection in my map file to 900913. 

Initially I got a new error that, "msProcessProjection(): no options found
in ‘init’ file". I checked my epsg file in /usr/share/proj/epsg. It did not
contain a definition for 900913. I found a definition online. I added it to
the end of my epsg file and it cleared up the error.
<900913> +proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0
+y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +no_defs

2. Updated my wms_onlineresource field to replace that incorrect trailing ?
with a &.

Once those changes were made, it worked. 

I have one follow on question, *how did you know that epsg:900913 should be
used from looking at the shapefile?* Is there a dictionary somewhere that
says Google Mercator=900913?

Here is my corrected map file per Steve's direction. Thank you for the help.

[mapserver-users] MapCache inverted Y values

[Travis Kirstine]

I just configured mapcache using a grid using 512 512 size.  Everything
seems OK however when I view the resultant tilesets in the demo map viewer
they have a inverted Y value, the latitudes are negative values when they
should be positive.  Do I need to create a custom cache to handle tile
sizes other that 256?

Re: [mapserver-users] Map data strategy

[Brent Fraser]

Paul,

  Have a read regarding TILEINDEXes 
(http://mapserver.org/optimization/tileindex.html).  It may be useful to 
have one TILEINDEX (and one layer) per scale group (so a total of 6 
layers).  The TILEINDEX will provide a spatial limitation [min/max x/y] 
per file.


Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Hi,

I've just started using Mapserver and have a question, that could help 
me to cut corners.


1)I have a lot of S57 charts in different scale groups 1-6.

2)It should be simple to maintain the map data (a lot of upgrades).

3)Of course, it should be fast.

Strategy of today:

I have the original data stored in the original format on ram disk. I 
have one map file that INCLUDEs all "layer" files (one per chart).


The layer files defines the all the interesting chart features 
(layers) and the max scale.


I was thinking that I only shall use max scale, not min scale, because 
if I don't have a chart with a larger scale a certain position when I 
zoom in, then I shall at least see a chart. Even if has a to small 
scale for this zoom. I don't have any spatial restrictions on each 
layer or layer file, just for the map file -90, -180, 90, 180 (i.e no 
limits)


Is it possible to have spatial limitations on a layer?

When I use this strategy the map server chokes then I zoom in too much.

I can see that the map configuration could be done in a lot of 
different ways,


How would your strategy be?

Kind regards,

Paul

[mapserver-users] PDF output and file naming (.pdf)

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

All,

I got the PDF output to work, but the outputted file ends up being output as 
.map.

I'm using CGI (streaming result?) with map.imagetype=pdf, the result is indeed 
a PDF, but with a .map file name.

I tried setting  EXTENTION "pdf" and MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf" inside of 
FORMATOPTION to no effect as far as the file name tag.  Do I maybe need to 
output temporarily to a server location (WEB) for subsequent download?

Thanks

I think that the requisition from your application is not achieving your
VM.
Is the request sent by your application pass through a proxy that blocks
the 5432 port or there is a bridge over which the requests flow
directly?

Re: [mapserver-users] PostGIS Connection Failure

[Krishna Priya Patury]

Thanks for responding. Would you please tell me how to check that? When I
go to Network Proxy on the VM, "Direct Connection to internet" is selected.


Both Mapserver and Postgres on the same VM. Do you think something might
still be blocking the port? I am able to open a psql connection just fine
using the same port. What is even more confusing is a Mapserver application
outside the VM is able to connect to the Database on the VM just fine.

I don't suppose I can pass a fname=my.pdf param value in through the CGI call 
for the naming, or can I?

One other thing, is there a way to force a VECTOR  pdf output vs Raster.  Using 
the above I seem to be getting a Raster output.

Thanks (some more)

This should set the appropriate http header element.

This is what I use (with some notes):

  # PDF

  OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME "pdf"
DRIVER "CAIRO/PDF"

All,

I got the PDF output to work, but the outputted file ends up being output as 
.map.

I'm using CGI (streaming result?) with map.imagetype=pdf, the result is indeed 
a PDF, but with a .map file name.

I tried setting  EXTENTION "pdf" and MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf" inside of 
FORMATOPTION to no effect as far as the file name tag.  Do I maybe need to 
output temporarily to a server location (WEB) for subsequent download?

Thanks

bobb

I do not know the particularities of your Centos box (I use Debian), but
I'm hearing some issues about selinux that affect connections on this
O.S.

In this case, appears that do not have a blockage of the 5432 port on
your network.

But, probably there are more issues than the user difference that you
mentioned, when the connection is established by the psql or by the
application at localhost.
I suggest you to check:
1) The result of "netstat -a | grep postgres" command
2) The parameter listen_addresses from postgresql configuration file
3) The selinux' configuration

[mapserver-users] Σχετ: htdocs settings and mapfile status

[Stefanos Anastasiou]

Hi Bobb,
thanks for the answers. Regarding the html templates: I thought that html files 
are kept in htdocs since this is the DocumentRoot from where apache is 
configured to read files from.  So if I don't need to keep files in htdcos 
where else can I put them and how can apache understand where they are put.

Regarding the On / default status: is this chunk put in the template or the 
mapfile?

Hi list.  I have two questions that are confusing me a little bit.
First of all I am keeping all my HTML template files /usr/local/apache2/htdocs. 
 This folder has read-only permission settings by default so every time I want 
to edit/create a template I use nano or pico through terminal with root 
privileges. So, would it be wise (would it be secure?) to make htdocs folder 
have read/write permission and if not what other way is there so I can 
edit/make template files easily? 

Another question is that when I make my mapfile and set STATUS to default 
everything works fine. But when it's set to on I get a blank page (needless to 
mention about STATUS off). That's not normal right?

[] The mapfiles need to be in the APACHE service path someplace, but the HTML 
templates do not, they are read by the Mapfiles .  You specify their location 
inside of the Mapfile.   I usually put them right next to the MAPFILES, but 
they can be hidden to apache by permissions, or even put somewhere else 
entirely.

Re: [mapserver-users] Map data strategy

[Paul Ramsey]

If you're using a map file with 100s of layers, you really must set an
EXTENT on each layer to mapserver can intelligently ignore layers that
are not "in scope" for the current view.
