RE: [mapserver-users] Confirmation of status of UTF8 support, andwhere transcoding to Latin-1 may be happening.
The problem, it seems, is with Mapserver's UTF-8-type of support. To clarify, UTF-8 is supported just fine in Mapserver, but if it is a UTF-typeof encoding, then it tried to convert to UTF-8 which doesn't seem to work well. The data is in latin1 but is Unicode encoded, so that you achieve the same thing in most environments and just about every program can interpret this. Mapserver does have a little trouble with this. The thing is, though, that it isn't so much ArcSDE as it is MSSQL, I think. Could be wrong on that part but to make a long story short, I think Mapserver is the component that converts the unicoded encoded latin1 into something that doesn't work. It's a standard-based process, I think, so I doubt anything will change on the SDE half of it for the seeming future. Not finger-pointing, I'm just expressing my interpretation of the situation. You can dump your ArcSDE config to a file and disable UNICODE_ENCODING (I think that's the name of the field) and then reimport the file into SDE and this will mean the collation and encoding will remain latin1 in your case, but you will need to re-import all of your SDE data for the change to take affect. This proved to be unsatisfactory for us and we decided to take a 'wait-and-see' approach. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russell McOrmond Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 8:40 AM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Confirmation of status of UTF8 support, andwhere transcoding to Latin-1 may be happening.

Can I get a quick confirmation that Mapserver supports UTF8 encoding, and doesn't internally transcode to Latin-1? Does it have the option to transcode that we might have inadvertantly enabled?

[mapserver-users] Mapserver Thread Safety
So I kind of feel stupid at the moment... I had one understanding of thread safety and now I think I have another My first understanding was that if multiple users were accessing a site programmed very basically (not with any type of multi-threading code) but simply the fact that multiple users were making requests that they could potentially bump into requests and not return the same result if only one user were making requests. Now, I think it means specifically programming for a multi-threaded application so that you are using multiple code paths asynchronously in a given request would not be recommended without placing code-locks for various features. Can someone please clarify for me what the thread-safety is in regards to Mapserver and Mapscript C#, PHP and Java and perhaps clarify one thing; If I am programming without implementing multiple threads in code but plan to have multiple users accessing the site, will they bump into any requests?

Now, I think it means specifically programming for a multi-threaded application so that you are using multiple code paths asynchronously in a given request would not be recommended without placing code-locks for various features. Depending on the platform you are using both statements can be true as they are different cases of multi-threading. In the case of mapserver the checklist is as follows: If you are using mapserver as a CGI then thread safety is not an issue for you because each request will be handled by a new process that will die immedately after so basically there is no chance of 'bumping into others' requests' as you call it. Same if you're using python, because of a quirk in the python interpreter called GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) which stops the whole python interpreter when entering external code such as the C shared library of mapcript. If you are using fastcgi AND have compiled mapserver with thread support also no need to worry, unless you use one of the unsafe components listed in the thread safety FAQ on the mapserver web site. If you are using Java/C#/PHP/Ruby AND have compiled mapserver with thread support you don't have to worry that much actually because mapserver will lock properly when entering the same thread-unsafe code paths listed in the FAQ cited above. So your question eventually boils down to: should I also place locks in my C#/Java code? In general I would say it is not (I don't in my java app) provided that you don't share mapscript objects between requests: don't create a mapObj at the beginning of the session and reuse it for all the session. Create a new mapObj with every request instead.

RE: [mapserver-users] Labelling
Thanks Dave and Dan, Pretty much both of you are kind of getting at the same ideas I had. I guess I asked in an ambiguous way because it doesn't pertain to a specific situation. The point layer specific for labeling I think it the way I'll have to go but David did touch on something interesting that I wasn't sure you could do: On your first suggestion, are you saying I could create a point feature and label it using 'TEXT'? If so, can I do this without having the point be visible? Then you mention I could use an annotation type layer instead. Does the same apply as far as being able to specify x and y cords and use a 'TEXT' clock to label? If so then that is an interesting feature!

I see two possibilities: a. If you want to create a label that is independent from the features in your data set, you can create a class with an inline feature, setting the x and y coords, and using 'text' to specify what the label text should be. You could even create this labeled feature on the fly by passing this info in as a URL configuration. If you just want to show the label, you could do this in an annotation layer instead of a point/poly/line layer. b. If you want to specify label points for your a point/poly/line layer, you could create a point dataset of your label points and then use that as the basis of an annotation layer With either of these methods, you could either specify the label position to a fixed location, like the center, or upper left position, or you could use auto and let MapServer find the best position for it.

The instructions for getting IIS and Mapserver CGi seem dated as they do not seem to detail how to get this done in full. I have tried the steps to no avail. Only by reaching the farthest of pages in Google did I finally figure out that you have to add an entry into the Web Service Extensions section of IIS and point it to mapserv.exe.

Hi Guys,
I am following the tutorial on

regarding
getting started with MapServer on .Net. I eventually hit a snag where I run
into error The type initializer for 'OSGeo.MapServer.mapscriptPINVOKE'
threw an exception when trying to run the demo application. I have tried
several demo projects in Visual Studio and I receive the same errors.
Running down the stack, this seems to be the general exception:
{Unable to load DLL 'mapscript': The specified module could not be found.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)}
This happens even with projects that are coming with there own mapserver.dll
and all other necessary filesinthe bin folder. Does anyone have any
experience with dealing with MapServer on .Net and can anyone help me or
point me in the right direction. Right now I guess I am looking at
downloading Dependancy Walker to try to see if I can get further into this
exception, but I just want to know if anyone else has ever run into this
before.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
By setting up and exclude filter by excluding all of the processes
(except for yours) in the debug output would help to reduce the
amount
of rows appearing in the list. (For the ASP.NET
http://asp.net/applications your app
is probably running under the context of the aspnet_wp.exe or
w3wp.exe
depending on your platform.) Then make sure about which dll-s
couldn't
be loaded at run-time.

[mapserver-users] Scaling Labels
This is a pretty dumb question but: Is there an easy way to make label sizes scale with respect to the view? Or must I create a bunch of MAXSCALE MINSCALE LABELSIZE entries? ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] FastCGI ms4w
Has anyone had any success getting fastcgi to run on MS4W? Can I be pointed to any references I need to get this started? ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] using GDAL to display a PNG Raster.
Hello, I have a PNG that I would like to use as an overlay for a 2x6 set of aerial tiles. I just want to use MINSCALE and MAXSCALE to turn one and the other off and on. That isn't the problem I'm having. I can't get the PNG to display. The file itself is fine, but I can not make a mapfile display the PNG. I have made a new mapfile that I want to just display the PNG first before possibly integrating it into the same mapfile as my tileindex. I know that the PNG is supposed to be georeferenced but I don't know how to create those files so I would like to use GDAL to output the PNG as I hear It will simply apply the extents. Here is what I have: MAP NAME 'overlay' SIZE 800 650 STATUS ON EXTENT 201000.00 874000.00 213000.00 882000.00 UNITS METERS FONTSET '../fonts/fontset.list' SYMBOLSET '../symbols/symbol.sym' TRANSPARENT OFF IMAGETYPE PNG OUTPUTFORMAT NAME png DRIVER GDAL/PNG MIMETYPE image/png FORMATOPTION TARGET=95 IMAGEMODE PC256 END QUERYMAP STATUS ON STYLE SELECTED END WEB INCLUDE /ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_test/web_config.map END LEGEND STATUS OFF END LAYER NAME overlay STATUS DEFAULT TYPE RASTER DATA overlay.png #MINSCALE 14000 END END ## end Map Also, the PNG is color. I would like my overlay to certainly be in color. The mapfile and png are in the same dir. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Transparencies and IE6
I am having trouble getting cross-browser uniformity with MapServer. None of my transparent-enabled layers appear to draw at all under IE6 and in Firefox 2 The layers draw, but without transparency enabled. They work as expected with IE7 however. Is there a known issue with this? ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Tile Indexing Shape files.
I'm trying to split up and index my parcel layer and perhaps other layers to address performance concerns. I have used the shp2tile program to split my files, but now where do I go from here? I have used gdaltindex before to utilize orthos that were already tiled, so I understand the concept but this is slightly different. What do I do from here? ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
