Re: [mapserver-users] Georeferencing a raster without worldfile

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

If these are .tif files, can you write the georeference info to internal 
metadata as a way to avoid a .tfw file?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Georeferencing a raster without worldfile

Hi.

I'm using mapserver 7.0.0

I have about 250.000 raster images that I want to serve through mapserver. They 
are all 1195x1550 pixels, and they all cover the exact same area (UTM33N 
-75000,645,112,800).  All images has a resolution of 1km per pixel.

I also have a worldfile that works:
--8<--
1000
0.0
0.0
-1000
-75000
800
--8<--

What I want to avoid, is to have one worldfile for each of the 250.000 files. 

I have tried to use a processing directive, like the documentation says:

--8<--
WORLDFILE=
Specifies an alternative world file (for georeferencing). If a
path only is specified, the base name of the dataset will be
appended. The suffix (.wld / .tfw / ...) can be omitted.

Example:

PROCESSING "WORLDFILE=/path/"
 or
PROCESSING "WORLDFILE=/path/file.wld"
 or
PROCESSING "WORLDFILE=/path/file"
--8<--

But adding 

PROCESSING "WORLDFILE=/path/to/my/worldfile.wld"

to my mapfile has, as far as I can tell, absolutely no effect.


The projection on the layer is defined like this:

  PROJECTION
"+init=epsg:32633"
  END


If I change that to 

  PROJECTION
"+init=epsg:32633 +units=km"
  END

My layer will turn up at 0,0,1195000,155 in EPSG:32633

In theory, if I added easting and northing to the projection definition, like 
this:

  PROJECTION
"+init=epsg:32633 +units=km +x_0=-75000 +y_0=645"
  END

It should position itself properly, but proj does not allow easting or northing 
to the UTM projections.

The documetation also states:

--8<--
wms_extent

For Rasters served through WMS, MapServer can now use the
wms_extent metadata parameter to register the image. If a .wld
file cannot be found, MapServer will then look for the wms_extent
metadata parameter and use the extents of the image and the size
of the image for georegistration.
--8<--

However, if I add 

  METADATA
"wms_extent" "-75000 645 112 800"
  END

to the layer, it has no effect.


So... What am I doing wrong? How do I get my files to show up where they're 
supposed to?

Re: [mapserver-users] arcgis 10.3 enterprise geodatabase

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

When you create your ‘feature class’ / table in the database using ESRI tools, 
you use the config option PG_GEOMETRY.  This uses PostGIS’s geometry type 
instead of ESRI’s.

With this setup, you can read and edit the data with ESRI products, and you can 
also access the features with straight PostGIS queries.  You can then just 
create a Mapserver layer with connectiontype of POSTGIS and point it at your 
database table.  http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/postgis.html

Re: [mapserver-users] Rendering of adjacent dashed lines

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

This is a pretty common case.  I run into it a lot when mapping adjacent 
counties in a US state.  As Thomas says, the solution is to process the data so 
that the shared borders are only represented by one line.  

Depending on what you are mapping, you could try using OFFSET to provide some 
separation between the lines.

David.

Hi,



Usually blank images without error mean that there are no data within the BBOX. 
Check the coverage of your data and that you have projections right.



It would be very interesting to know afterwards all the steps you have followed 
with your Mapserver setup. I believe that you have spent considerable much time 
with it and that means that the Mapserver documentation may not be good enough.



You wrote once that you had problems with path

E:\rcis\web\MapServerDlls\uildselease-1800-x64inprojSHARE\proj_def.dat. Does it 
mean that you have built Mapserver by yourself on Windows?

Hi everyone,

I am having an issue with getting a label to display when it is near the edge 
of the map extent. From what I have seen, when I attach the style for the icon 
to the label object, the label does not display. However, if I remove the style 
for the icon from the label object, it does display. Is this an issue with 
MapServer 7 or the settings that I have used?

Version Information:

Below is the map file to reproduce the issue. Please note that there are two

attached. The layer without the icon style attached has been turned on while

Is there a good way to list all of the dependencies (files, URLs, database

I am trying to automate synchronizing mapfiles from our main server to 
Raspberry Pis to be used as mini-servers in the field.  To save space, I'd like 
to automatically get a list of all the files a particular mapfile depends on 
and only copy those instead of copying full directory trees which have many 
(large) unnecessary files.
It seems like a complete solution might be very complex undertaking given the 
number of places resources can be referenced from: TILEINDEX, GDAL/OGR 
connections (vrt), TEMPLATES, data generated URLs formed inside of TEMPLATES, 
database connections, files that are really multiple files (.shp, .wld), etc.

I can write something that deals with the subset of MapServer that we use, but 
was wondering if anyone had started something similar.

G’day Lydon,

I feel your pain, but there is little benefit to creating more quadrants. The 
idea (as I understand it - could be wrong) is to be able to use a (fast) 
bounding box to find the polygons to test, rather than having to test against 
every polygon using more complex algorithms.

I suppose you could consider that if you want to find out if a point is in one 
or more of your polygons, the benefit of having more index squares. You only 
have 8 polygons (I presume) so this should limit you in most cases to only 
having to compare your ‘point’ with only a couple of polygons using the more 
complex algorithms.

hth

Hi All,

I have finished implementing the chainable compositing filters that were 
architectured along with RFC113, and the code has been committed to the master 
branch. The aim of the development is essentially to enable soft shadow and 
blurring effects, although other usages can exist or could be added in the 
future.
To obtain a soft shadow effect that can be seen for example around the 
buildings on 
http://sitn.ne.ch/production/wsgi/mobile/?theme=mobile_default&baselayer_ref=plan_ville&map_x=554942.49763489&map_y=200242.9936142&map_zoom=6&tree_layers=
you can use

LAYER
 NAME "buildings"
 TYPE POLYGON
 COMPOSITE
  #create the shadow/blur effect by translating a blurred version of the layer
  COMPFILTER "grayscale()"
  COMPFILTER "translate(5,5)"
  COMPFILTER "blur(4)"
  OPACITY 50
 END
 COMPOSITE
  #and render the buildings themselves
  OPACITY 100
 END
 CLASS
  STYLE
COLOR 128 128 128
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
WIDTH 1
   END
  END
END

The currently available filters are:
- "blur(integer)"
- "translate(integer,integer)"
- "grayscale()"
- "blacken()"
- "whiten()"

I'll add some documentation and autotests next week.

best regards,
Thomas

Subject: [mapserver-users] Using a variable as a CLASSITEM

Is it still possible to use a variable for the value of CLASSITEM?  We're 
passing the field name to be used in the CLASSes  in the URL as a variable 
(%dmmethod%):

CLASSITEM  '%dmmethod%'
FILTER ('[type]'='County')
STATUS on
CLASS
  NAME 'No Drought'
  EXPRESSION ('[%dmmethod%]'='-1')
  STYLE 
COLOR   255 255 255   
OUTLINECOLOR20 20 20
  END
END  
This used to work in previous versions.  There are 6 different fields that 
could be searched, for 6 possible values.  I'd really like to avoid creating 36 
classes for each layer that uses this attribute table.  I am including dmmethod 
in a validation block in each layer trying to use this variable.  Mapserver 
version is 6.0.3

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Re: [mapserver-users] passing parameter to a OGRVRTDataSource layer

Martin,

Have you looked at the CGI runtime substitution docs?: 
http://mapserver.org/cgi/runsub.html

Make sure that you look at the validation section near the bottom.  If the 
substitution works with CGI WMS, you will need validation.

Subject: [mapserver-users] passing parameter to a OGRVRTDataSource layer

Hi all,
I'm using the virtual plugin of OGR to consume a web service who return CSV 
coordinates and mapserver is able to draw the points without any problems.

The connection definition in my mapfile is something like this.
CONNECTION "CSV:/vsicurl/http:///service.phpwkbPointselectWGS84"

I would like to pass arguments to that CONNETION string so I could build 
dynamic request.  something like this
CONNECTION "CSV:/vsicurl/http:///service.php?param1=%PARAM1%¶m2=%PARAM2%wkbPointselectWGS84"

I know the argument values (in my example PARAM1 and PARAM2) are OK because I'm 
seeing them in the error message thrown by mapserver (see below).  But 
mapserver refuse to render the points:


http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/exception_1_1_1.dtd";>


msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 
'photo_ownedby_all'.
msOGRFileNextShape(): OGR error. Failed to find layer 'select' on

Strangely, if I copy paste this url in the browser, the web service is 
returning valid csv data:

Hi,

I also like a bunch of small demos better than one massive that covers 
everything. OSM vectors are one alternative but there are only string 
attributes in OSM data. Also all that would  be created from the demo layers 
should be marked with "Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors" and mixing with 
own data could make also the own data as ODbL licenced in some circumstances if 
the mix is presented for public. Personally I would prefer data who are in 
public domain.

I would like to still see the ”topp:states” from the Geoserver demos included 
so there would be one dataset that could be used for comparing  Mapserver and 
Geoserver.

http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&WIDTH=505&HEIGHT=346&LAYERS=topp%3Astates&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&BBOX=-125,16,-64,58&SRS=EPSG:4326&STYLES=

What is good is that the coverage of topp:states is big enough and it shows 
also in global BBOX
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&WIDTH=505&HEIGHT=346&LAYERS=topp%3Astates&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&SRS=EPSG:4326&STYLES=

As a somewhat experienced bug hunter I would pay rather lot attention to  
attributes. The topp:states does have many attributes to use for testing 
filters/expressions and styles but the schema is not rich at all, just strings 
and doubles

http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&request=DescribeFeatureType&typename=topp:states

For my own demo server I have created some simple datasets for points, 
multipoints, lines, multilines, polygons and multipolygons.
http://hip.latuviitta.org/cgi-bin/tinyows?service=wfs&version=1.0.0&request=describefeaturetype&typename=lv:editable_multipolygons

All those layers have properties of type string, integer, double, date, and 
datatime. In addition they have one attribute which is a string but all the 
values are plain numbers and some of those with leading zeroes. Perhaps the 
layers could contain also some other common traps:
- tricky but still standard compliant attribute names
- non-ascii chararters in layer names and data – anybody tried to write OGC 
filters of http URLs for such beasts?
- lower and upper case characters in data – do you believe that case 
sensitive/insensitive filters always work as supposed?
- something that exceeds the limits of shapefiles: more than 10 characters in 
column names, longer the 255 character strings

The developers could do some brainstorming as well: what kind of questions and 
bug reports you would like to receive from Mapserver users and how to support 
that goal with the demo datasets. What is important is that it should be very 
easy for users and developers to use the same data and same layers should be 
possible to access also from live services. See for example this Geoserver 
issue https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6604?

The bit tricky vendor options which I was testing with local service can be 
tested also online with
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?BBOX=44.3115939344240175,-103.93616932504362182,44.55018319949628136,-103.57561215835877988&CRS=EPSG:4326&QUERY_LAYERS=topp:states,og:streams&SERVICE=WMS&HEIGHT=714&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&STYLES=&I=775&J=246&WIDTH=1079&FEATURE_COUNT=10&VERSION=1.3.0&FORMAT=image/png&LAYERS=topp:states,og:streams&propertyName=%28STATE_NAME%29%28cat%29

Hi,

Great idea. How about trying to show that the “OSGeo umbrella” could mean 
something real? Geoserver has a set of vectors and rasters in the “data_dir” 
directory of the standard delivery and I believe that the IP rights of those 
have been checked. Deegree has also four demo workspaces and download links 
seem to be here 
http://download.deegree.org/documentation/3.2.2/html/lightly.html.  For my mind 
using the same demo datasets than at least one other project would be better 
than having our own. I volunteer to help with writing/testing the mapfiles.

Hi All,

I'm about to extend my MapServer IIS installer with some optional mapfile/data 
to demonstrate that the installed application is working. Do we have some kind 
of official demo/data for MapServer which is expected to work with all 
mapserver versions? In my understanding that kind of data should also coexist 
in github (just like for msautotest) with the corresponding branches and the 
map configuration(s)/data should always be adjusted according to the recent 
changes in the MapServer codebase.

For example the itasca demo would be a good candidate, but it doesn't seem work 
with the current MapServer release due to the configured ANNOTATION layers.

Such kind of up to date demo should also go to osgeo4w which has already been 
supported with the latest stable/daily builds of MapServer.

Best regards,

All,

So, I've been reading up on nighttime colors for electronic display(s).  I was 
wondering if anyone has any pointers on information about applying color 
temperature corrections to displays for nighttime viewing.  I'm in need of 
providing this functionality to some night crew workers.

My first thought was to apply some sort of RGB algorithm to the mapfile color 
settings.  Then I thought maybe a middleware  processor routine (between 
MapServer and the browser) might be a better approach, or possibly using 
something in the browser . . .

I'm only looking at setting up distinct color settings at the moment.  Maybe 
3-5 ranges to start with.  I do know that some Mac hardware has some display 
monitoring for color temperature.  I would prefer to do something that could 
apply globally however.

Maybe there are Browser functions that can be applied to the problem (I haven't 
found anything specific there yet though.

Thanks

It looks like you have a duplicate MAP line in there.

You are also specifying an extent that is from 5 deg west longitude to 0 deg

I guess the first one is correct and that's why you get the error-msg
with the 2nd one. So, what exactly is the result of the request
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map ?
it sounds like a white image, not nothing. In this case you should check

Re: [mapserver-users] Σχετ: Mapserver can't read mapfile

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

To further diagnose this, it would be useful to see the contents of you 
mapfile.  If no errors are being thrown, it is quite possible that there is an 
issue with spatial reference systems, bounding boxes, or class expressions.

Sorry fellows...  indeed there is a typo but in this e-mail... I checked my 
files again and they seem correct...

If I type on my browser:  
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map   all I 
get is a blank page. The data folder has full permissions:  drwxrwxrwx

All other shapefiles are working correctly but yesterday I just added two more 
in the folder and all I get is a blank screen... (?)

I guess the first one is correct and that's why you get the error-msg
with the 2nd one. So, what exactly is the result of the request
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map ?
it sounds like a white image, not nothing. In this case you should check
the bboxes and srs first.

Hi mapserver-users@,

I've set up a mapserver host and I'm trying to get kml format as output, to be 
used as a feed to Google Maps. I have no problems trying to get images, and 
actually,I can get a kml, but there is nothing useful in it.

I'm trying to make mapfile.map as simple as possible, to narrow down the 
problem, with just one shape.

The request I'm using is this:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv/?map=mapfile.map&mode=map&layer=mg

The mapfile.map I'm using is this:

Hi MapServer Users and Power-Users,

As FrankW pointed out during our FOSS4G presentation, I would like to
propose that we add stackexchange as an "official" support channel for
MapServer. You can check and subscribe to mapserver related questions
here: http://stackexchange.com/filters/90617/mapserver

Why?

- Stackexchange questions and answers are very well referenced through
search engines, which would avoid recurring questions from being
brought up on the mailing list
- The answers get up or down-voted by the community, allowing a user
to immediately flesh out relevant information for a given question
- Asking a question on stack-exchange might help new users to seek for
help, instead of having to subscribe and post to a public mailing list
(which can be intimidating)

How?

- By referencing stackexchange in our "getting help" documentation section
- Most importantly, by having MapServer power users subscribe and
participate to the stackexchange questions, providing answers or
upvoting correct existing answers.

Users, is this something that you would find beneficial?
Power-users, would you be willing to participate to another support
channel, knowing that in the long run the aim is to reduce your
workload as the most common questions will answer themselves ?
PSC, should we have some kind of motion to vote and officialise this?

best regards,

Re: [mapserver-users] GEOMTRANSFORM definition causing an error

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

If the GDAL on your system is compiled with Oracle support, you could use 
ogr2ogr to create a shapefile copy of your data from Oracle.  
http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html

If you want to do it with a GUI, you could probably use the QGIS.  I believe 
that QGIS 2.0 now has Oracle Spatial support out of the box.

Changing to:

GEOMTRANSFORM (buffer([shape], 0.0) 

...has the same error result.


There are a total of 5 mapserver calls to load the web page (I'm using leaflet 
in the browser). The error occurs on the very first call to mapserver from an 
ajax request which is requesting the un-buffered parcel layer (not the one with 
the GEOMTRANFORM option). The GET request URL is:

http://wfsd.visualapms.com/wfs.php?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=getfeature&TYPENAME=parcels&SRSNAME=EPSG:4269&OUTPUTFORMAT=json&FILTER=%3CFilter%3E%3CPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyName%3EPARCEL_ID%3C/PropertyName%3E%3CLiteral%3E78517%3C/Literal%3E%3C/PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3C/Filter%3E

...and this is returned to the browser...

"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - 
http://wfsd.visualapms.com/wfs.php?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=getfeature&TYPENAME=parcels&SRSNAME=EPSG:4269&OUTPUTFORMAT=json&FILTER=%3CFilter%3E%3CPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyName%3EPARCEL_ID%3C/PropertyName%3E%3CLiteral%3E78517%3C/Literal%3E%3C/PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3C/Filter%3E";

You could test the url yourself.

When debugging the ajax response, the 8102 is the line number in jQuery
1.7.1 core. Not sure why jquery is coughing there, but the request object and 
error are returned to the ajax error function.

I have not used shp2img before, I'll need to research to give you an answer for 
that.

I'll see if I can get the data in shapefile format which will require some work 
with the server admin.

Re: [mapserver-users] GEOMTRANSFORM definition causing an error

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

If your map units are in feet, then your map extent will be a 360 foot x 180 
foot box.

If you want your map output to be in feet, you will  need to find an 
appropriate spatial reference system that uses feet as its units.  You should 
then set your map (output) projection to that spatial reference system.  

In MapServer, the map units need to match the map projection and the map extent 
needs to be expressed in those map units.

When you get to a production app, you will likely want to project/transform 
your input dataset ahead of time so you don't have the additional overhead of 
projecting the features on every map request.  

As I am thinking about it.  If you are applying a layer-level geomtransform and 
you want to use feet as the units, you may need to pre-project your data to a 
feet-based srs ahead of time.  This is assuming that geomtransform uses the 
units of the layer SRS, not the map SRS.  (Which could be a flawed assumption.) 
 My MapServer knowledge is fairly old and I have never used geomtransform, but 
map extent and map units have been around forever

David.

I have no idea why you are getting an error about jquery, but is does look like 
you might be trying to apply a 150 degree buffer around your feature...

I don't know what version you are using, but from this RFC, it appears as 
though LAYER-level geomtransforms use ground coordinates:

Hello,

I'm trying to implement a buffer layer using layer GEOMTRANSFORM. I am adding 
this line to the second LAYER definition in the following map file:

GEOMTRANSFORM (buffer([shape], 150)) 

After adding this line, Mapserver throws an error:

Mapserver response:undefined - Status:error - Error:[Exception... "Failure" 
nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
http://[domain obscured]/assets/a4f84659/jquery.js :: .send :: line 8102" 
data: no]

The second layer is exactly the same as the first layer except for the 
GEOMTRANSFORM definition.
Any ideas what the problem may be?  Thanks!

Re: [mapserver-users] Bad BBOX passed to db query

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

Notice that your Map projection is 4326, but that your Map units are set to 
meters.  

I am guessing that this is your problem.

The map units and the units that the map extent are expressed in have to match 
your map projection/srs.

With much searching I have found similar questions, but nothing actually

I'm using mapserver 6.2.1 and the current OpenLayers.js.  I can run the wfs.map 
file using shp2img and get a valid response from mapserver, I can run 
non-spatial filters using my OpenLayers WFS call to mapserver.  The POST 
request sent to mapserver with the spatial query looks fine, but I simply get  
the not very helpful "premature end of script headers : mapserv" in response.  
The spatial input is a hand-drawn polygon in OpenLayers and the intersection at 
the mapserver end is a postgis table containing a polygon field.  The table is 
large, but a spatial restriction should always yield a manageable number of 
records.  Without a spatial restriction in the filter, I've noticed that 
mapserver tried to load all the data, so have currently restricted it to 100 
records for testing/debugging.  I'm assuming once I get the spatial filter that 
this will restrict the number of records retrieved on the server side.  I have 
some assumptions, but as I said I've not been able to find a working example of 
this online, maybe because its too simple and everyone but me has it working?

Should what I'm trying to do work or am I just beating my head against the 
wall?  It doesn't seem that this should be so hard...

Re: [mapserver-users] Projections and raster files

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

David,

Take a look at the map extent and units.  They should be the units used by your 
output spatial reference system.

In your current map file, you have DD for the units, for 3857, they should be 
meters.  You will also want to express your extent in 3857 coords.

Hello,

I have a number of geotiffs which are currently using epsg:4326 and I would 
like to output a region using epsg:3857.

I am new to mapserver but from what I have read the way achieve this is by 
setting the projection of the map to epsg:3857 and the layer to epsg:4326.

When I set the projections to the same value I get the output I expect without 
a problem, if I set the projections to different values I do not get an error 
but the output is blank.

To make life more complicated I am using mapscript via the Java swig interface, 
the version of mapserver I am using is mapserver 6.1.2.1 which I built from 
source.

If anybody has any advice I would be most grateful.

David

Re: [mapserver-users] MAXSIZE on Windows

Louis, 

I am guessing that QGIS is requesting an image that is too large.  You might 
try enabling debugging to see the WMS request that QGIS is sending.  I think 
that with a high debug level it should log the request.

Dear all,

I have set up MapServer for the first time on Windows using MS4W, and the 
installation itself went well. I then tried to set up a map file and retrieve 
the data with QGis. No matter what I always get an error like this:

msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS server error. Image size out of range, WIDTH and 
HEIGHT must be between 1 and 32736 pixels.

I'm using map files that I use in Linux without needing to set MAXSIZE. On 
Windows not only it seems to be necessary, it seems also to require a large 
figure. Anyone knows what size should be set? Or is this error being caused by 
something else?

Thank you,

Luis

In my local machine I use, for example, a value to MAXSCALEDENOM 650

This was not working in my remote server, then I found that if this scale is

Re: [mapserver-users] label issues...

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

Mark,

I think that you are close.  You can likely simplify your layer a little by 
dropping out the properties that have a default, e.g. angle, position, etc.  
You also might want to comment out the FORCE and PARTIALS until you see that 
you are drawing labels.

You should also be able to put the combine the two classes and have your label 
and symbol in the same class.

Classes are about 'classifying' your data.  In some cases you have multiple 
classes, one for each data range.  E.g. where a column value is less than 10, 
one where it is more than 10 and less than 100, and one where it is greater 
than 100.  Each class would likely have a different symbolization then.

At a minimum, you need one class.  This is what you need.

David.

Mark,

You will want to add a LABEL block to your mapfile.  
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/label.html

I would also comment out the maxscale until you get the labels working.

Like this:

Re: [mapserver-users] posting variable to map file from html page

[Fawcett, David (MNIT)]

Murat,

Starting at 6.0, you need to add a validation block to your layer.  With 
validation, you include an expression that defines which characters are allowed 
to be passed in that variable.

It was working well for mapserver 5.4.2 but it doesn't work for new version
from html file I have sending eq_id to the map file

 SELECT sta_id,latitude,longitude from pgav where eq_id like  "%eq_id%" 
 


it was worked for mapserver 5.4.2 but I could not sent when I installed new

May be it caused by new apache2 server. But in case please help me.

Re: [mapserver-users] Problem with attribute query, multiple attributes

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Since OGR accesses the GDB via ESRI's API/Library, it may (should) take 
advantage of attribute indexes built on the data with ArcMap.  

You should make sure that the feature classes in the GDB have attribute indexes 
on any column that you want to use as query criteria and that they have good 
spatial indexes as well.  

If you don't have access to ESRI tools, you will likely want to pre-process the 
data by dumping it from the GDB to shapefiles or PostGIS, where you can create 
all of the indexes that you need.  

David.

A tip that might come in handy someday, if not in this case, could be to create 
an "attribute index" on your vector field (see example in 
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_shapefile.html); I've done this before and it's 
improved attribute queries in MapServer significantly.  You can generate one 
through an ogrinfo command with the "sql" switch.

Sorry I cannot provide exact FileGDB examples at the moment.

Re: [mapserver-users] SDE Connection

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

With earlier versions like 9.2, ESRI put the SDK install files out on their Web 
site.  With some of the later versions, you need to have the install CDs.

You didn't say what service pack version you are running with 9.2, but here is 
a page with the SDK for 9.2 sp2:  
http://support.esri.com/en/downloads/patches-servicepacks/view/productid/66/metaid/1269
  If you are on a different version, Google found this page in about 5 seconds.

You may also have an issue with supported platforms, they usually have a page 
listing supported Linux disros and versions.  In the past, they have listed Red 
Hat, but not CentOS.  That doesn't mean that it won't work, I just don't know.

If this doesn't work, or doesn't perform well, you might want to think about a 
simple ESRI Python script that pulls the data out of the production SDE 
database and push it into a PostGIS database or even shapefiles for use by 
MapServer.  You could script it to run on some set time period.

David.

Re: [mapserver-users] retrieve map coordinates with different EPSG

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

I looked at the documentation because I haven't used in a while.  The docs 
aren't clear, but seem to imply that MAPXY should return coordinates in the 
same spatial reference system as the layer that you are querying.

I kind of think that they should be in the spatial reference system of the map. 
 Either way, try setting the map projection to the SRS that you want to get the 
coordinates back in.  You will also have to change the extent values.

David.

I possible in the templates set semothing to have this coordinates [mapx],

I see there is the [maplon] and [maplat] parameter.
But I need have the coords in another projected EPSG system rather than

 then click the enlarge. Can anyone give some guide?

Typically the SQL syntax is   column in (a,b,c,d)
So based on this

[id_bassin] in '%ID_BASSIN%'

would be problematic I think because your syntax is:

column in 'string'

Which is not valid. Also what is your validation for %ID_BASSIN%?
Is something like this?   ^\([0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*\)$

where ID_BASSIN=(123,234,345)

or do you want something like:

[id_bassin] in (%ID_BASSIN%)

with a valdiation like:  ^[0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*$

where ID_BASSIN=123,234,345

Re: [mapserver-users] Reading a custom GDAL raster format via MapServer...

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Is MapServer using the same GDAL as the commandline GDAL that can successfully 
open the file?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Reading a custom GDAL raster format via MapServer...

Hello All,

I have been trying to read a custom GDAL raster format via MapServer. 
(Unfortunately, I'm unable to share the file itself here, as it is a 
proprietary format).  MapServer is unable to read the raster and display it.   
However, GDAL is able to read (gdalinfo, etc), translate (gdal_translate), 
transform (gdalwarp) the raster. Any ideas how to solve this?  MapServer is 
compiled with GDAL support and everything looks OK. The "gdalinfo --formats " 
command shows the format is supported.

Here are the errors in my log:
msDrawMap(): rendering using outputformat named png (AGG/PNG).
msDrawMap(): WMS/WFS set-up and query, 0.000s
msDrawRasterLayerLow(testLayer): entering.
msDrawRasterLayerLow(): Unable to access file. Corrupt, empty or missing file 
'/path/to/myfile.ext' for layer 'testLayer'.
Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'testLayer'.
msFreeMap(): freeing map at 0xf8b8f0.


And here's the MapServer error included in the image or shown on the command 
prompt (when ran using mapserv command):
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'testLayer'.
msDrawRasterLayerLow(): Unable to access file. Corrupt, empty or missing file 
'/path/to/myfile.ext' for layer 'testLayer'.
GDAL: GDALDeregister_GTiff() called.



Here's how my layer definition looks like:
LAYER
NAME "testLayer"
TYPE RASTER
DATA "/path/to/myfile.ext"   # <<-- Tested with realtive path from 
shapepath and also direct path, as in this case.
STATUS ON
END


Thank you for your helpful pointers.

Shri.

Puneet,

GDAL has a utility gdalbuildvrt the creates the .vrt file I think I ran 
it something like:

gdalbuildvrt ned2.vrt /u/data/ned2/*.tif

run gdalbuildvrt with no arguments to get some help.

If you want you could use mapserver and set up a point query against the 
ned2 data to get the elevation, then write a php wrapper to take the 
polyline and sample it and call mapserver to get the elevations along 
the polyline and you the php gd code to plot it out.

RE: [mapserver-users] Aligning labels within a polygon

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Several years ago, I wrote some Python code to roughly georeference air photos. 
 As part of that, I needed to come up with the best approximation of the 
heading of the airplane.

What worked pretty well was to do a really simple line fitting based on the 
points.  My samples were points from an airplane that was attempting to fly in 
a straight line, with vertices generated by a camera taking pictures at regular 
intervals, so that helped.

I simply split the vertices of the line into three groups by dividing the total 
number of points by 3.  I averaged the x and y values in each group and then 
created a line from the average coord from group1 to the average coord from 
group3.

Street data will likely be more variable (curved), but you may want to explore 
something like this.  Of course, you would likely want to calculate these label 
angles using pre-processing to speed up rendering time.

David.

Going a step further:

st_longestline(st_collect(the_geom),st_collect(the_geom))

gives the longest line segment that can be drawn within the cluster of street 
address points. Works for non-curved streets. I'm still looking for a more 
intelligent way to thin out a polygon to a (multi)line.

I updated the cgi-bin directory of my MS4W 3.0.4beta1 with the mapserv.exe and 
dll files taken from the brand new binaries from 
http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ (contains Mapserver and GDAL revisions r13144, 
r23972, respectively).

As a result Mapserver is really serving me 10, or 25 or even 40 times faster 
than it did before the update measured as WMS throughput (images/minute). The 
times include rendering times and all the lags in the system so the difference 
tells exactly how the end user feels it. Greatest enhancement is with close 
zooms because then the apatial index bites hardest. And at least with my 
computer Spatialite backend is clearly faster than PostGIS with the same data 
and it may be even faster than shapefiles but it is too early to say that 
really. But this is absolutely something worth more testing.

My test database is moderately sized and contains 10 points, 9 lines 
and 149000 polygons from OpenStreetMap data. I will myself do next trials with 
ten times bigger Spatialite database with something like million points, lines, 
and polygons. We do not have much bigger tables in our production. However, I 
do not believe we are changing from Oracle to SQLite/Spatialite very rapidly in 
our core business :)

Awesome!  About 25 times faster in the evening than it was in the morning. My 
opinion is that because Spatialite seems to be, at least in this case, more 
that two times faster backend for Mapserver than PostGIS it should lead to some

RE: [mapserver-users] Shapefiles not rendered

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Juan,

The projection block at the map level specifies 4326 as the spatial reference 
system, but the units of your extent look like they are in meters, not decimal 
degrees.  This may be involved in the issue, or maybe not, but it would screw 
up a regular MapServer CGI request if you don't specify a bbox.

The use of a '.' Character in a layer name may be valid in MapServer and the 
OGC WMS spec, but it looks funky to me.  Again, probably not the problem.

I would simplify your map file by commenting out the MINSCALE, MAXSCALE, and 
TRANSPARENCY lines.  I am guessing that one of these is causing your problem.

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Steve Lime has narrowed this bug down to the parsing of single quotes in 
template tags.  

The trimlast functionality will work if you use double quotes on the character 
to be trimmed.  

e.g. 

This works:  [feature trimlast=","]

This doesn't:  [feature trimlast=',']

I will file a ticket for a change in the documentation at:  
http://mapserver.org/output/template_output.html

David.

RE: [mapserver-users] Attribute query at geographic coordinate

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

If you didn't need to use WFS and just wanted to do MapServer queries, you 
could put together a template that would build you a list.  Take a look at the 
examples on this page:  http://mapserver.org/output/template_output.html

The JSON example is probably the most applicable.

Like others have mentioned, 500 data layers won't be efficient, so you may want 
to explore other data organization ideas.

David.

Hi Peter

You will have to write some of the server-side code for saving the results into 
a list, but the spatial query is called a GetFeatureInfo request, which is part 
of the WMS spec, which Mapserver can do well. Here is the format of a request:

I stumbled across MapServer in my search for a tool to use in a website.  I 
want to develop a website that will use a coordinate (lat & long), which is 
easily obtained from a user on the client side by clicking on a Google map, and 
then transferring this coordinate to the server side where it will be used to 
sequentially query many (500+) shapefile polygon layers, extracting the values 
from 2 fields from each layer at this coordinate, saving these values in a list 
(Excel, textfile?), and then using this list to return values to the user on 
the client side.  This sounds simple in concept, but is MapServer a tool that 
can accomplish this and, if so, are there any examples showing the code to use 
for such a query?

RE: [mapserver-users] subsetted output, but I don't want that

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

In MapServer, if you set a MAP level projection and extent and don't specify a 
projection for a layer, MapServer assumes that the layer has the same 
projection as the MAP.

Kevin, 

You could create a world file.  Here is a reference for the world file format:

According to the gdal docs, a world file with an extension of .pgw, .pngw, or

As an example, the world file associated with this global raster from Natural

Is the raster georeferenced?  It kind of sounds like it is using pixel

What do you get if you run gdalinfo on the image file?

I am new to mapserver and am experiencing difficulty with the output being
generated by mapserv.exe (using OSGeo4W). The output I am getting is showing
a subset of the original image even though I am not specifying any extents
that would indicate I want anything other than the full image.

The source file is a global image 1440x720 and the output I get is also
1440x720 but is showing only the bottom left 180x90 pixels of the source

[mapserver-users] OpenLayers JSONP getFeatureInfo

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

I posted a similar question to the OpenLayers list, but know that there isn't 
complete overlap.  

Can anyone point me to an example that uses JSONP to get around the same origin 
policy when making a getFeatureInfo request from OpenLayers to MapServer?

Is it possible?

RE: [mapserver-users] default values if not provided in the URL

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Two hackish thoughts:

1.  Utilize a pair of mapfiles.  The first one has all of the classes on by 
default.  The second one has all of the class with STATUS OFF.  

On the client side, you determine if you have any class args and route the 
request to the appropriate mapfile. If the client has a request with class 
args, you append one of these for each class  '&map.layer[0].class[3]=status 
on' (specifying the correct layer and class index values)

If you only had a few classes, you could easily manage this with one mapfile 
(without running up against the character limits on GET requests)

2.  What are you really trying to do?  It seem like classes are for selecting 
and symbolizing/formatting data for output.  Do you really want to filter out 
the data using a filter at the layer level.  If you can avoid running all of 
your data through the expressions for each class, it should perform better too.

David.

Right then. Except, I want *all* my classes to be drawn if no class has been 
provided. And, if one or more classes have been provided, then I want only 
those to be drawn. So, 

http://server/mapfile?mode=map

should return a map with all the 100+ classes in a layer. And 

http://server/mapfile?mode=map&classes=Foo,Bar

(or some other variation of the above) should return a map with only the 
requested classes in the layer. I can't think of anyway of doing the above 
without resorting to scripting, and I still have had no luck with WMS returned 
from Perl MapScripting.

Suggestions.

I believe there is no restriction (I use .mtt for map server template). You can

qlayer is one layer only. If you really need to query an adhoc
collection then you really need to ditch STATUS DEFAULT for queryable
layers and use the layer and/or layers params for both drawing and
querying. Does make sense? We could consider extending things like
your example (multiple qlayer or qlayers) but those aren't available
now.

RE: [mapserver-users] gradient display of raster DEM data

John,

Take a look at the gdaldem utility.  http://www.gdal.org/gdaldem.html

You likely already have it on your machine already.

Aside from being able to generate data products like slope grids, it can

Subject: [mapserver-users] gradient display of raster DEM data

I know this has been asked before but I thought I'd ask to see if anything 
changed.

I'm looking to display a raster digital elevation model in mapserver.  My data 
is in flat files, img and tiff.  I'd like to display this data as a continuous 
gradient color range, rather than using CLASS categories/bins for specific 
colors.  Is it still tru ethat this is not possible, easily?

One method (passed to me on this list) was too generate the colored image I 
want in another program, using GMT or similar tool, then use that in mapserver. 
 This seems like the best option but is non-trivial to someone who hasn't done 
this before.  (though not terribly difficult.)

I also read about the use of DATARANGE and COLORRANGE in mapserver.  However, 
these are not in the documentation.  Are these available in trunk only?  A 
ticket was generated that seems to say this will be included with MS 6.2.  
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1305)  Any insight on whether this is 
still the plan?


Thanks for your help and advice.

I am looking for way to classify the clusters based on their feature counts.  
E.g. larger circles for clusters of > 10 features and even larger circles for

Because Cluster:FeatureCount returns a string, the below expression can

[mapserver-users] Expressions on Cluster Objects

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

I have been playing around with the new cluster functionality a little bit.  

I am looking for way to classify the clusters based on their feature counts.  
E.g. larger circles for clusters of > 10 features and even larger circles for 
clusters of > 100 features.

Because Cluster:FeatureCount returns a string, the below expression can 
evaluate to True for values like "109"

("[Cluster:FeatureCount]" < "11")

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe I am just misusing Clusters...

Thanks, 

David.

RE: [mapserver-users] Using a Symbol instead of text for a label

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Matt,

I haven't fully thought it through, but maybe the new Cluster functionality 
might work for this.  You could have a generic park symbol for the cluster 
symbol.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Using a Symbol instead of text for a label

Hi

I have a bunch of symbols that overlap on a map.  EG at a park where I want to 
show an symbol for playground, toilet and picnic tables.  The data for each of 
these items are individual point data items.

I would like to ask mapserver, very kindly, to 'tile' nearby symbols into a 
group
OR
Use the main symbol like a label.  So that I could have a dot where the play 
equipment is, then nearby have the symbol for the play equipment.  This is 
obviously very easy to do with text, but is it possible with a symbol??

I have tried this
   CLASS
  EXPRESSION /play|playground/
  NAME "Children's Playground"
  STYLE
SYMBOL 'waypoint'
color 255 0 0
SIZE 5
  END
  LABEL
 STYLE
  SYMBOL '/var/www/osm/kml/icons/play.png'
  Size 10
 END
 ...text styleing info
  END
   END

I get my 'waypoint' dot and the play.png in the same location.  I would like 
the play.png to be positioned AUTO like I can with text.
Any ideas??

Thanks
Matt  :)

RE: [mapserver-users] RE: Image Pyramid with gdal_retile and two UTM zones

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

For performance, you will want the imagery pre-warped into one spatial 
reference system.  (The same SRS as your output SRS.)

I don't know if you will want the output SRS to be one of the two UTM Zones, or 
if you want to choose a different SRS.

The problem is that both images are showing up in the same UTM Zone. A quick 
glance at the gdal_retile.py doc page indicates that all of the input tiles 
need to be in the same spatial reference system.

http://www.gdal.org/gdal_retile.html

I assume that you could reproject one of your tiles into the adjacent UTM Zone 
and then run gdal_retile, but I don't know if that would cause any distortion.

Possibly. See, it is crucially important for me to be able to generate classes 
on the fly, and with a lot of flexibility. Not just that, the criteria for 
generating the classes can change. So, what I am doing actually is setting up a 
separate application that does nothing but respond with class information. The 
mapping application (and, any other application, for that matter), would query 
this class generating application and make the classes as per the latest 
information. Hence, my need for MapScripting. Well, there are other reasons as 
well, but this is an important one.

RE: [mapserver-users] MapScript WMS request

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Puneet, 

Using MapServer CGI and layer.MapServer would not set you up well for other 
client libraries, so I see your point.  It can be viable though.

In this app (just an imagemap, not OL), there are no attribute values 
associated with the spatial data.  The classes are generated on-the-fly and the 
county id's for each class are passed in as URL vars.  Same thing for the 
legend.  This allows flexibility for compounds who's emissions may vary from 
tens of pounds to millions of pounds.

This approach may not work for your case, but it is another way to slice it...

Indeed David. Because, going by the docs, the MapServer CGI calls are 
discouraged (or so it seems), I'd rather not invest in that path. This is a 
long term project that I am working on, so the foundations have to be very 
robust. Besides, I may or may not use OL. While I like OL a lot, I am also 
looking at other frameworks (Gmaps, Leaflet, Polymaps), and it would be wise to 
decouple the backend from the front-end as much as possible.

I have no issues with using WMS, but I just am unable to get MapServer WMS to 
work via MapScript. And, yes, I do have to use MapScript if I can help it -- my 
layer classification is generated on demand, and MapScript is the easiest way I 
can think of for doing that.

I did find yesterday that `mode=tile` works really well, but I am trying to 
make that work with MapScript. A separate email thread for that question.

As far as I know, OpenLayers still has support for a layer based on MapServer 
CGI.  Because MapServer can also serve up WMS well, this layer type isn't 
necessarily recommended or as well supported.

Thanks Daniel. I will bump the ticket. For now, see below --

Using the "my.map" file I sent you, with no further modifications to it, I am 
able to successfully get an image back via 
[http://localhost.local/cgi-bin/gmna?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=1200&HEIGHT=600&LAYERS=gmna&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true]

Note, no further modifications is required, that is, not even the "ows_extent" 
"-180 -90 180 90" bit in the layer METADATA. and I still get a good image.


However, if I use the following program to access the same map file, I get the 
spurious "minx = -2500, miny = -2500, maxx = 2500, maxy = 2500" 
in the GetCapabilities.

Finally, if I add the "ows_extent" "-180 -90 180 90" line in the layer METADATA 
in the "my.map" file, the GetCapabilities returns the correct bounds now, 
however, the image is still blank.

#!/opt/local/bin/perl

use strict;
use mapscript;

my $wms = new mapscript::OWSRequest();
$wms->setParameter("SERVICE", "WMS" );
$wms->setParameter("VERSION", "1.1.1" );
$wms->setParameter("REQUEST", "GetMap" );
$wms->setParameter("BBOX", "-180,-90,180,90" );
$wms->setParameter("LAYERS", "gmna");
$wms->setParameter("SRS", "EPSG:4326");
$wms->setParameter("WIDTH", "1200");
$wms->setParameter("HEIGHT", "600");
$wms->setParameter("FORMAT", "image/png");
$wms->setParameter("TRANSPARENT", "true");

my $map = new 
mapscript::mapObj("/Users/punkish/Sites/test/mapscript/my.map");

if(!$map) {
warn "New mapObj() error: $mapscript::ms_error->{message}\n";
}

my $io = mapscript::msIO_installStdoutToBuffer();
my $dispatch_out = $map->OWSDispatch( $wms );
printf "%s\n", mapscript::msIO_getStdoutBufferString();

I have now spent an enormous amount of time on this, and for now, I have to 
move on. This is just not working out. Maybe I will try some other technique, 
perhaps this mode=tile to see if I can get MapServer powered maps in my apps.

Thanks much for your help. If you (or anyone else) can come up with a bright 
idea, I will be happy to try it.

Puneet.

RE: [mapserver-users] how to define the CLASSITEM and EXPRESSION in this case?

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Have you looked at this page in the documentation?

http://mapserver.org/mapfile/expressions.html#arithmetic-operations-and-functions-that-return-a-number

You should be able to do this.  You wouldn't use a CLASSITEM, just an 
expression.  

Create individual classes for green, yellow, and red.  

The expression for green would be something  like:

EXPRESSION ([PopulationOver65] / [PopulationTotal] * 100 < 10)

I want to define classes according to the proportion between two attributes

How to do this?
For example: feature has two attributes 'PopulationOver65' and
'PopulationTotal'. They are both numbers.
I want the color of this feature:
green if PopulationOver65/PopulationTotal <10%,
yellow if 10% -30%,
red if 30%.

Anyway to do this?

RE: [mapserver-users] Map size question?

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Chris,

If you are in tile mode, I assume that you probably don't want an embedded 
legend on each tile.

Have you thought about doing a separate call/request/object for the legend?

If you were doing this via CGI, I would recommend doing a separate mode=legend 
request.

David.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Map size question?

After quite a while thinking I could not produce a legend I have realised that 
the legend is actually there, just off the edge of my map.

Now I see that although my map file specifies a map size of 640 x 480 pixels, 
if in single tile mode the map image being produced is actually  1110 x 660 
pixels. Alternatively with multiple tiles I get 12 tiles of 250 x 250 pixels 
which is 1024 x 768 pixels.

It seems that the size parameter in the map file is being ignored (even setting 
the values to 0 0 or omitting the SIZE parameter altogether makes no 
difference). MAXSIZE doesn't seem to help either.

I can't find a way to get the image size that I want, can anyone help?

Hi all

I have a map created via Mapscript under Mapserver 6.0 but I can't find a way 
to add a legend. Recent examples are hard to find but I found the following 
dating from 2002 which seemed simple enough:


  $legend = $map->legend;
  $legend->set(width,40);
  $legend->set(height,100);
  $legend->imagecolor->setRGB(240,220,200); # tan
  $legend->outlinecolor->setRGB(1,1,1); # black
  $legend->set(status, MS_EMBED);
  $legend->set(position, MS_UL);
  // SET LEGEND LABEL PROPERTIES
  $lg_label = $legend->label;
  $lg_label->set(font, "arial");
  $lg_label->set(type, MS_TRUETYPE);
  $lg_label->set(size, 10);
  $lg_label->set(minsize, 6);
  $lg_label->set(maxsize, 12);
  $lg_label->color->setRGB(100,100,100);
  $legend->set(postlabelcache, MS_TRUE);
  // DRAW LEGEND
  $legendImage=$map->drawLegend();

Unfortunately this produces no output. Can anyone give me any clues why?

[mapserver-users] PDF Generation - file suffix?

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

I don't want to pollute Jukka's thread about large .pdf creation, so I am 
forking it.  

The .pdf file generated by his request renders fast and looks nice, but the 
file doesn't have a .pdf suffix.  This confused my browser and didn't 
automatically associate the file with Acrobat Reader.  

This isn't a huge issue for me as a user, but if I am developing something for 
a more general audience, it will be a problem.  

Is there a way to ensure that the generated .pdf has the correct file suffix?

[mapserver-users] RE: runtime substitution - class name

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

OK, 

As usual, the best method in debugging is to post to the list and then give it 
one last try...

At 6.X, you can't change the name properties of classes, layers, etc.  Steve 
Lime documents this pretty clearly in this email message:  
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2011-April/068560.html

The TITLE property is now accessible though.  I had tried this, but not 
apparently at the same time that I was applying a validation pattern.  

This URL works:  
http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=legend&map=mymap.map&map.layer[0].class[1]=TITLE+%27fitger%27

I have a layer-level validation block.  The expression is a little more 
generous than my test case needs, but fits the real data.

  VALIDATION
'title' '^[a-zA-Z0-9\, ]+$'

Good morning. I am having some problems identifying a layer through MapServer 
and I seem to be stuck.

I have a flat table of harvest by waterbody by year by individual in 
PostgreSQL/PostGIS. I created a "temporary view" of the sum harvested by 
waterbody by year and joined in geometry which I then made into a crosstab so 
that each lake would be listed and columns across with harvest by year.  It 
draws successfully in my web mapping application (and view looks fine in 
postgres), but when I try to use the Identify feature on the website (Mapserver 
GET URL request) I get the following error in MapServer,

[Fri Aug 12 09:57:33 2011].687000 msReturnPage(): Web application error. 
Malformed template name ().
[Fri Aug 12 09:57:33 2011].703000 msQueryByPoint(): Search returned no results. 
No matching record(s) found.

Before doing the crosstab I was getting this error, but I assumed that it 
didn't like the multiple records linked to the same geometry and that's why I 
did the crosstab.  But still nothing works.

Does anyone have any idea of where to begin to debug?  Any help would be

Dear Kai and Assefa,



After you two guys requested me to send you my setup, I exported the content in 
the databasetable to a shapefile so you can test it. When I tested the spatial 
filter right after that, it suddenly worked ! This narrows down the 
possibilities:

- The request I send is definitely not the problem anymore. It works with 
MapServer + shapefile and with GeoServer.

- I exported only the geometries to the shapefile in the table with 
geometrytype = POLYGON because from ~8000 geometries ~10 are linestrings. So I 
investigated possible problems with the linestring geometries by telling the 
MapServer not to serve them using a subquery in the mapfile:

DATA "the_geom from (select * from alldata where geometrytype(the_geom) = 
'POLYGON') as subquery using unique product_id using SRID=4326"

Error 500 still occured. Therefore, the data can't be the problem neither, 
right?

- Since I didn't change anything else MapServer must have problems 
communicating with the PostGIS database, but why Error 500 then?

Here is my mapfile:

ST_MAKELINE() does exist in recent versions of Spatialite.

Hi Ian,

In postgis there is an aggregrate function makeline() that you can feed 
points to. I think there may be an equivalent function in SpatiaLite.

In sqlite, you might be able to use a group_concat() something like:

select 'LINESTRING('|| group_concat(lat||' '||long, ',') ||')'
   from points;

But I think the issue will be that this is not a format that mapserver 
understands. You might be able to access this via GDAL/OGR but I'm not 
sure on that.

I assume that you could handle it on the client side by adjusting your calls to

Hi Ian,

In postgis there is an aggregrate function makeline() that you can feed 
points to. I think there may be an equivalent function in SpatiaLite.

In sqlite, you might be able to use a group_concat() something like:

select 'LINESTRING('|| group_concat(lat||' '||long, ',') ||')'
   from points;

But I think the issue will be that this is not a format that mapserver 
understands. You might be able to access this via GDAL/OGR but I'm not 
sure on that.

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

I can reproduce it in both IE8 and FF3.  Not sure what the issue is.  I 
switched to the townships layer to make sure that it wasn't a tolerance issue 
in querying a point feature.

Obviously, they guy who built this page knows nothing about MapServer   ; /

This sounds like a client issue, not a MapServer issue.  What client are you

Hi folks,

a query at a point-shapefile gives unexpected results such as
"msQueryByPoint(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s) found"
if the zoom size of the Internet Explorer (8) is different then 100%. It
seems like the coordinates you hit are different to the ones the MapServer
is processing. This does not occur with Browsers like firefox. Any
possibilities to avoid that ? Sorry if this is posted before - I just didn't
find it. I use version 5.6.1

RE: [mapserver-users] color standards in layers

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

You may also want to look at ColorBrewer:  http://colorbrewer2.org/

It is very useful in helping you decide on color themes for maps.  It will also 
provide you with the color codes (RGB or Hex) that you can use directly in 
MapServer.

Hi Paul,

There has been a lot written on this subject and there is probably not 
simple answer because to a large extent it depends on what you are 
trying to show with you map.

A lot of people like the Google maps or Virtual Earth maps as color 
schemes. You might also find the following interesting reading:

http://www.google.com/#q=cartographic+color+standards+for+maps

There are some very good books on the subject that discuss this in 
detail you can enter "gis cartography" into amazon book search to a good 
sample of them.

Hope this helps,

RE: [mapserver-users] MySQL connection: so near, yet so far...

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

You should be able to add a projection block to your layer, specifying that 
your layer data is geographic (probably epsg:4326?)

Then add a projection block to the MAP block of your map file to specify that 
the output projection for your map is epsg:900913.  If 900913 isn't in your 
proj4 database, you could try epsg:3785.

Thanks Stephen

That was a useful pointer, I have the OGR connection working now. One
remaining problem: the source data in my MySQL database is unprojected
lat/lon, and I want to project to Google 900913. 

It seems that it should be possible to get OGR to do this within the ovf
file by including an SRS statement like EPSG:900913,
but this doesn't work. Adding a projection statement to the layer doesn't
help either.

Anyone know how to do this?

Just a guess.

Make sure you have the exact same env-vars set for apache as you have set
within the shell your ogrinfo-command works. Sometimes there can be a
differnces there?

Hi List

I am in the process of upgrading from Mapserver 5.4 to 6.0 , running under 
Ubuntu 10.04. However I am struggling with the more stringent requirements in 
Mapserver 6.0 when running as a WMS server. I can see the principles applied in 
 http://mapserver.org/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html#migration, but can't find  ticket 
1088 or any other documentation to show me how to ensure that the various 
parameters like FORMAT and STYLES are delivered in the way that Mapserver 6.0 
now requires before it will accept a GetMap request.

As things stand I can't get past the error message "msWMSGetCapabilities(): WMS 
server error. WMS request not enabled. Check wms/ows_enable_request settings"

Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Hi all.

We're in process of developing robust eGov solution including GIS (using 
mapserver/postgis/pgrouting :) ).
This municipality has 1.059 km2.

Do you have any recommendation on where to purchase satellite imagery, and 
which scale/resolution do you recommend. Basic GIS usage is TAX calculation 
based on more than 70 parameters (mostly including distances to important 
institutions and road types etc...). This is based on vector data, but great 
imagery is also in client's interest.
Some estimated prices per km2 would be nice, too, 'cause I need to give some 
numbers to the client.

I've googled around, but would like some info from firsthand users. Quickbird 
has a resolution of 0,6 meter, but I guess that would be overkill (and 
overpriced for client)

Thanks!

RE: [mapserver-users] Simple mapserver HTML template file?

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

If you aren't querying, you shouldn't need a template.  All that you should 
need is a map/layer that can be served as a WMS.  OpenLayers and the HTML page 
that you create to contain the OpenLayers map handle the layout.  

You could start with a really simple example like this and point it at your 
WMS.  http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.10/examples/lite.html
