[mapserver-users] Mapfile Location for WMS Server
Hi! I'm setting up a WMS server with mapserver using PostGIS. The mapserver will be a central server providing data to multiple websites. I have mapserv in cgi-bin and nothing in public_html because it isn't needed. Where do I place the map file? I've tried putting it in cgi-bin and public_html and both give the same result when trying to get the WMS capabilities: loadMap(): Web application error. CGI variable "map" is not set. thanks, Andy -- Andy PGP Key ID: 0xDC1B5864 ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] Mapfile Location for WMS Server
Thanks to everyone that replied - I have it working now. I saw that you can add additional parameters to tile requests, but what confused me is that I didn't know you could add them to the getcapabilities request. Thanks!

[mapserver-users] AGG Rendering
Hi! I can't seem to get AGG to work. Currently my output is not antialiased. Can anyone give me some hints? Thanks! Note that I have built AGG 2.5 with freetype support. Also note that I needed two ./configure --with-postgis=/usr/bin/pg_config --with-wfs --with-proj --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config --with-gd=/usr/local/ --with-jpeg --with-ogr=/usr/bin/gdal-config --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config --with-agg=/usr/local/src/agg-2.5 --with-freetype MapServer is now configured for -- Compiler Info - C compiler:gcc -O2 -fPIC -Wall C++ compiler: g++ -O2 -fPIC -Wall Debug: Generic NINT: -- Renderer Settings - zlib support: -DUSE_ZLIB png support: palette rgba png support: jpeg support: iconv support: -DUSE_ICONV AGG support: -DUSE_AGG AGG Freetype support: agg_font_freetype.o Ming(flash) support: PDFLib support: -- Support Libraries - Proj.4 support:-DUSE_PROJ Libxml2 support: FriBidi support: Curl support: FastCGI support: Threading support: GEOS support: -DUSE_GEOS -- Data Format Drivers --- native tiff support: PostGIS support: -DUSE_POSTGIS EPPL7 support: -DUSE_EPPL ArcSDE support: OGR support: -DUSE_OGR GDAL support: -DUSE_GDAL Oracle Spatial support: -- OGC Services -- WMS Server:-DUSE_WMS_SVR WMS Client: WFS Server:-DUSE_WFS_SVR WFS Client: WCS Server: SOS Server: -- MapScript - PHP MapScript: no ./mapserv.cgi -v MapServer version 5.2.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE OUTPUTFORMAT NAME 'AGG_Q' DRIVER AGG/PNG IMAGEMODE RGB FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=ON" FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_DITHER=OFF" FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256" END This is the error message I get: loadOutputFormat(): General error message.

Thanks! loadOutputFormat(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT clause references driver AGG/PNG, but this driver isn't configured. That says it all: Your mapserv binary doesn't support PNG. Says so in your mapserv -v line too: note the lack of SUPPORTS=AGG I'd suggest re-running your ./configure and check for the lines where it mentions that it's checking for AGG, cuz something's not right there. Thanks for the reply Gregor. It seems I had to change the configure file to get it to add AGG support. This is on Debian Etch.

Re: [mapserver-users] AGG Rendering
Thanks to Håvard I now have AGG compiled in. I needed to modify the configure file: AGG_LIB="-L$AGG_LIBDIR -lagg_pic -laggfontfreetype_pic" Now I have SUPPORTS=AGG. Also the error has gone. But the output isn't anti-aliased. Is there something else that I need to add to the map file besides the outputformat section to get it to work?

[mapserver-users] PIXMAP Positioning
Are PIXMAP symbols for points always centered on the point? I want to add thumb tack style markers, like Google Maps, where the entire image should be located above the point. Is this possible? thanks, Andy -- Andy PGP Key ID: 0xDC1B5864 ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
