RE: [mapserver-users] how to specify the location of projection library, how to do it not in map file?

[JK Chen]

Hi Steve,

How to do it via Apache configuration? What is the syntax? Is it like this:
"PROJ_LIB" "./cgi-bin/"

Nope, we can't over-write the path names.

Thanks for your helps.

JK

See:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/EnvironmentVariables

If you can do it in the apache config because you do not have access to it, you 
could write a simple wrapper script the exports the enviroment variable and 
then executes mapserver.

[mapserver-users] how to specify the location of projection library, how to do it not in map file?

[JK Chen]

Hi,

I specify the location proj library in the map file, which points to apache 
cgin-bin dirs.. Because we have 32 bit and 64 bit machines, and the paths of 
the apache software on those two types machines are not the same, I end up 
having two map files. 
That creates installation problems for us. I'm wondering if there is more 
elegant way to specify the path to proj library? 

In basegn.x32.map 
 CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "C:/Program Files/Apache Software 
Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/"
In basegn.x64.map
   CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software 
Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/"

Thanks.

JK

[mapserver-users] my overview map is dark, what is going on? Is it because of map server (I created), or the client code?

[JK Chen]

Hi,



I made my own map using the Map Server and client with OpenLayers. At zoom out 
levels, my Overview map becomes dark, however, the box in there is draggable. 
But, how come it is dark? How to fix that? Root cause?



Sorry, I'm very new to the map space. So, pardon me for the questions.



I included these in this email thread.

*Map file, is listed end of the email.

*Here is the screen shot I got. Attached.

*OpenLayers code used to create the map is also listed here.



The screenshot can be accessed here too. 
http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/file/n6729648/Dark_Overview_Map.jpg



OpenLayers code:



this.wms_basic_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(

  wms.wms_layer_display_name,

  wms.wms_url,

  {layers: wms.wms_layer_name},

  {wrapDateLine: true});



  this.map.addLayer(this.wms_basic_layer)



Map file:



MAP # a Map file starts with MAP keyword  #CONFIG "MS_ERRORFILE" 
"c:\dev\ms_error.txt"

#DEBUG 5
