[MapServer-users] Using a non-static PostGIS raster
Hi there, I have a PostGIS raster that's being served as WMS. Some of the pixel values will be changing on a fairly-regular basis, but so far the only way I've gotten MapServer to pick up the changed data is to restart it. At first I thought it was a browser cache issue, but it's definitely not. I also tried setting the ows_http_max_age metadata value, and that didn't help. I'm not using a tile cache. Is there something I'm missing that will allow MapServer to use the updated data? Thanks!

That did it Jeff! #getcapabilities https://dev.gis.lcc.mn.gov/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/web/gis/tmp/mapserver/mapserver.map=WMS=GetCapabilities=1.3.0 Which returned: https://pastebin.com/xBJCbKGz (space in MAP>NAME, ie "probably something small:D) I fixed the warning, and voila!

I forgot about map2img! map2img -m mapserver.map -o test.png -map_debug 3 returns: msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Unable to initialize image. msCalculateScale(): General error message. Invalid image extent, minx=-1.00, miny=-1.00, maxx=-1.00, maxy=-1.00.

We were also a little concerned about web>template. We didn't see anywhere what exactly we were supposed to put in the TEMPLATE document. its basically the same html document as https://dev.gis.lcc.mn.gov/tmp/mapserver/ but with on top.

I need that t-shirt! The quotes are in the mapfile, I think gmail just hyperlinked the string.

Did you mean to have the ^ in that string? MS_MAP_PATTERN "^/home/web/gis/tmp/mapserver/". It seemed to mess it up, so i reverted back to MS_MAP_PATTERN "/home/web/gis/tmp/mapserver/" Same errors On Thu, May 4, 2023 at 8:55 AM Jeff McKenna wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Can you try this in your config file: > > MS_MAP_PATTERN "^/home/web/gis/tmp/mapserver/" > > thanks, > > -jeff > > > > -- > Jeff McKenna > GatewayGeo: Developers of MS4W, MapServer Consulting and Training > co-founder of FOSS4G > http://gatewaygeo.com/ > > > > On 2023-05-04 10:30 a.m., Chris Cantey wrote: > > Hello all, I need some help. > > > > We are building a new web server a rebuilding mapserver on it, migrating > > from 6.4 to 8.0.

[MapServer-users] msWMSDispatch(): WMS server error. WMS request not enabled. Check wms/ows_enable_request settings.
Hello all, I need some help.
We are building a new web server a rebuilding mapserver on it, migrating
from 6.4 to 8.0. But in testing, we keep getting the "msWMSDispatch(): WMS
server error. WMS request not enabled. Check wms/ows_enable_request
settings." error.
But we have that configured in our map file under map>web>metadata. So I'm
not sure what is going on. Config file, map file, URL, error, query string,
and error below.

[mapserver-users] SQL Server 2008 layer
Hi all Sorry for this v.basic question. Trying to load a layer from SQL 2008 R2 64bit using the msplugin_mssql2008.dll and when running shp2image it just bombs out on that layer saying neither DSN nor Server keyword supplied. Two things I can see could be the issue - accessing the plugin itself (any way to test if that is actually loaded okay?) or that the connection string is duff. The SQL instance is the default instance on the same box as the web application, I have seen various flavours of connections out there,with different starts to the string and ways to define instance. Below is what I went with PLUGIN msplugin_mssql2008.dll CONNECTION MSSQL:Server=SERVER1;uid=user1;pwd=qwerty1234;database=name1;Integrated Security=True I have the dll in the data folder for the mapfile (it does live in the mapfile folder and system32 just in case - hardwiring the path using c:\...\...\msplugin_mssql2008.dll didn't work either) I am unsure about the beginning of the connection string and the server reference (I am using the server name (as it is a default instance - works in my web apps)).

Re: [mapserver-users] OGR Virtual Format and character encoding
Frank I am using SrcDataSourceODBC:. in the OVF file. I am parsing the file using OGRinfo via commandline and the characters are looking odd straight away. Hadn't thought about using the spatial add-on for 2005, can that be called directly from the mapfile instead? I usually just use shapefiles (performance surprising good), but have need of a SQL table of point data (all over Europe - hence the character issues) updated via a web-form to be called via MapServer and another application. Any pointers appreciated!

Hi Robert and Jeff I tried those steps (think FID is optional) and no further - more blank outputs using shp2img (ms bebugging at 5 - no errors at all, happily finds layer and draws it - apparently! - should rename my layer to snowflakes or white cats). Have run shp2img debugging - nothing obvious, but couldn't print out output (can send screenshot if anyone interested). Not sure how to retrieve the sql query sent (Jeff?). I have grabbed the output from ogrinfo (see below - no extents...does that mean something) - seems to be working ok to the untrained eye!

[mapserver-users] disappearing point features in North America
I have a problem that may be down to OpenLayers or to Mapserver, or (just as likely) to me. Basically I am using OL to request WMS maps from Mapserver, and the map consists of point features with a global spread, typically around 100 points in each map. The points are defined in a table which has lat/lon in decimal degrees, and these are converted to 900913 by Mapserver where my mapfile has an overall projection of epsg: 900913 but the points layer has projection epsg: 4326. The map is defined in OL with extents: -20037508.34, -20037508.34, 20037508.34, 20037508.34 and the mapfile has the same extents applied. This all works fine when a map is first displayed, all of the points are present on the map. However when I scroll the map left or right there is a 'dead spot' where all the points in North America disappear and then re-appear, either side of the dead spot. Looking with Firebug at the bounding box that OL uses to request the map from Mapserver I can see that the points disappear when the bounding box is between left bounds of about -2370 and -3370. Only the points in North America are affected, never those in Europe or Asia. I have been wrestling with this for quite a while, experimenting with extents etc, all without any effect. Does anyone recognise where my problem may lie, or else have any suggestions how to diagnose what is going on?

feature from one layer of a map then add it to another layer. I am using
Mapserver 6.0 and PHP mapscript like so:
$map = ms_newMapobj(path/to/.map);
$layer1=$map-getLayerByName(countries);
$layer2=$map-getLayerByName(highlightCountry);
$country='France';
$layer1-queryByAttributes('NAME', $country , MS_SINGLE );
$shape = $layer1-getShape($layer1-getResult(0));
$layer2-open();
$layer2-addFeature($shape); ## I get a Mapserver 'internal error' at this
point ##
$layer2-close();
$image=$map-draw();
Extract from my mapfile:
LAYER
NAME countries
DATA world
STATUS default
TYPE line
CLASS
STYLE
COLOR 255 255 255
WIDTH 1
END # style
END # class
END #layer
LAYER
NAME highlightCountry
STATUS default
TYPE line
CLASS
STYLE
COLOR 255 255 0
WIDTH 4
END # style
END # class
END # layer
Can anyone help?

[mapserver-users] character encoding
Hi all I am having some issues with special characters in my application (sure I am not the first!) and wondered what the best way is to 'clean up' the data so I know it is specifically in a given format say UTF-8 or ISO. My source data was from KML - shp using ArcGIS 10 (though who knows what the kml format was!). One would assume if using ArcMap on a UK machine would give you an ISO output Should I copy the characters back into the attribute table via ArcGIS (but what program should I use to copy the characters from - Word...). I did use the ArcGIS export registry setting to export my supposed ISO shapfile to UTF-8 format (but the label rendering is wrong). Any ideas would be much appreciated! Many thanks Chris ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Re character encoding
Hi Jeff I may well try that! The trouble is I have a stack of attributes in a Access db which I was joining onto the KML data. I need the complete dataset for an ArcGIS Server data service anyway so a shapefile seemed to be a good way to join it all and assist with that (will end up in SDE) and my mapfile dataset too. I had already read the page you mentioned and all is in place (I am using the MS4W PHP/mapscript set-up on IIS) and my original ISO flavoured version labels up nicely - it just breaks some of the query functionality (though it shouldn't - which is why I wonder if some of the characters are badly formed)! Thanks for the advice Chris Hi Chris, My quick thoughts are: - use ogr2ogr (the GDAL/OGR library) to do your conversion from KML to shp (if you are on Windows, the MS4W product can help you with that http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html) - another option is to use the KML in its native format with MapServer (http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/kml.html), which is also possible with MS4W - if by application problems you mean map label problems with encoded characters, this howto should help you: http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/labelencoding.html Hope that helps. -jeff ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Mapscript and wms client

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapscript and wms client
Hi Brent and Armin The GetCapapabilies bit threw me! Well the one I am trying to load is GEBCO which I think is up. Having said that I have just changed the wms_name and reloaded the map and it works (maybe it just needed some sleep)..! Out of interest how do you specify a given layer from the WMS in the mapfile code and is the wms_name just a friendly name you use or specific to the WMS too? Separately Google maps layers, mapfiles and GDAL, from what I read loading tiles this way this breaks Google's TC because it bypasses their APIs, anyone have a view? My GEBCO code is: LAYER # GEBCO WMS map NAME 'gebco' TYPE RASTER OFFSITE 0 0 0 STATUS On CONNECTIONTYPE WMS CONNECTION http://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gebco_web_services/web_map_service/mapserv ?

Re: [mapserver-users] IIS and mapfiles and also GDAL
Hi Brent
Thanks for the quick answers, the new rewriting rules (with reverse proxy)
have worked well with Tomcat on port 8080 - no more isapi dlls! What you
listed for Mapnik is essentially like mine, what I am not sure is what other
GDAL configuration is needed on the box - just an environment variable or
some other setting in the mapfile...?
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
I've used the Iconic Rewriter with older versions of IIS (the native
rewriting capability in IIS7 looks interesting). You may be able to use an
environment variable to set the default map file, but this may not be very
useful if you have multiple map files. There are a few other options for
hiding the mapfile (proxy script, redirect, form post instead of get, etc),
put I think the rewrite method is the most effective (the client never gets
the map file path), with almost no performance hit.
The way I access Mapnik tiles in mapserver is to create a layer in the
map file:

Hi
I just wanted to check if the only way to parse a mapfile in an IIS
environment to use an absolute path to the mapfiles e.g.
http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\itasca.map.
I wonder if anyone has had success with rewrite rules (IIS7)?
Also how is GDAL triggered when calling the mapfile (in IIS). The scenario
is I am trying to use an xml in the mapfile layer which then calls

Am I remotely doing this the right way? I am used to calling local data

[mapserver-users] OGR to MySQL
Hi users I'm having some trouble with an OGR connection to a MySQL database. The data I'm trying to access was created using QGIS as a line layer and saved in a MySQL table as a BLOB in a geometry column. I can access and properly display this line data using QGIS, but not so far via Mapserver - nothing is drawn and I can't see any error. I am using Mapserver 6.0 and my mapfile is very similar to the example in theMapserver / MYSQL documentation: LAYER NAME testLine TYPE LINE STATUS DEFAULT CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION mysql:testDB,user=admin,password=password,port=3306 DATA SELECT Geometry from testLine CLASS STYLE COLOR 0 0 0 WIDTH 2 END # style END # class END # layer If I look at the MySQL table using OGRinfo I see the following: Layer name: testLine Geometry: Unknown (any) Feature Count: 0 Layer SRS WKT: (unknown) FID Coumn = id Geometry Column = Geometry The issue seems to be that OGRInfo and therefore MapServer does not recognise any features in the table, but QGIS using access to the same table finds and displays the features. Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? Chris ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

My ovf file (OGR_test.ovf) is OGRVRTDataSource OGRVRTLayer name=OGR_test SrcDataSourcemysql:testDB,user=root,password=mysql,port=3306,tables= testTa ble/SrcDataSource SrcSQLSELECT City, Latitude, Longitude FROM testTable/SrcSQL GeometryTypewkbPoint/GeometryType GeometryField encoding=PointFromColumns x=Longitude y=Latitude/ /OGRVRTLayer /OGRVRTDataSource I can successfully test this and see the data in testTable via: ~# ogrinfo var/www/vhosts/mysite/httpdocs/data/OGR_test.ovf However when I create a test layer I cannot establish the OGR connection. I am trying with: LAYER NAME testLayer STATUS DEFAULT TYPE POINT CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION OGR_test.ovf DATA OGR_test CLASS NAME MyClass STYLE SYMBOL 'circle' SIZE 15 COLOR 0 255 0 END END END This produces an internal server error. I have also tried using an absolute path to OGR_test.ovf, still no success. It seems that I have not got the CONNECTION and DATA parameters right but after reading the MySQL and the OGR sections in the Mapserver documentation many times I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help? 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?

[mapserver-users] PHP-Mapscript - clusterObj ?
Hi list I am running Mapserver 6.0 under Ubuntu 10.04 with PHP-Mapscript and I have been trying to get clustering to work with Mapscript. Actually it works fine when using a mapfile very similar to the 'Clustering Railway Stations' example given in the 6.0 documentation if I use the mapfile to generate a WMS layer without Mapscript. However using the same mapfile I can't get the clustered output to appear with Mapscript when I try the usual construction along the lines of: $map = ms_newMapobj(/var/www/vhosts/mysite/httpdocs/test.map); $layer1=$map-getLayerByName(test1); .. .. .. $image=$map-draw(); $image_url=$image-saveWebImage(); This structure works on a non-clustered layer in the same mapfile. I can see in the documentation for MS RFC 69 that the idea is to use a new Mapscript object called clusterObj, but I can't find any information on how to construct a clusterObj and several hours of trial and error yesterday didn't get me very far. Can someone tell me how I should set up and use clusterObj? Chris ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Hi Tamas Thanks for your comment.

RE: [mapserver-users] upgrade Mapserver 5.4 to 6.0 (gulp!)
Hi Brent Thank you for your very helpful comments, much appreciated. It is pretty clear to me that I have to start by changing my elderly Fedora to something better suited to supporting GIS applications including Mapserver 6.0. It is strange - I'm not at all afraid of PHP/Mapscript (although the documentation is not great) or of Javascript, but the whole Linux world is just so confusing that I get a form of paralysis by analysis soon after I start trying to compare the different options. Anyway I will certainly take a look at Ubuntu / OpenSuse.

Hi Chris, I'm a Suse/Ubuntu user, in both cases totally because of the well supported GIS related packages for these distros. So I have completely avoided the issues are facing right now :-) Though I'd imagine it will not be long before 6.0 is available natively for Fedora, given 5.6 is supported. I'm not too familiar with the RH Linux family, but the OpenSuse Geo repository partially supports Centos RH4/5, and I have found the maintainers there to be very helpful. If a RH or Centos build will be compatible with Fedora, it would be worth asking around there. Mapserver is not currently built for these distros, but someone may be prepared to do this for you. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/ Personally, I'd suggest you switch to a distro that does what you want, if that includes well maintained supported, pre-built mapserver ( related) packages, Ubuntu OpenSuse are well worth considering.

Hi Michael I'm using Fedora 7. My main problem is the totally daunting list of libraries and other packages like GD and GDAL which have to be available or pre-compiled before you can even start compiling Mapserver 6.0.

Dear Mapserver users, I sent the following to the foss-gis forum this morning, but got no response. I'm wondering if any of you Mapserver experts can help me out with this problem? Earlier today I tried to re-install PHP, leaving the other FGS components intact. I did this after unzipping PHP 5.2.17 and using the command: # ./configure --with-apxs=/opt/fgs/www/bin/apxs --with-mysql However I get the error message: sorry I was unable to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons: 1. Perl is not installed; 2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support; 3. 'apxs' is not in your path So I failed to upgrade PHP (for mysql support), and I can't see why. Nor I can find out if re-installing the whole FGS package gives me the option of enabling mysql on the PHP component. As you may realise I am still learning about Linux! Can anyone help? In the end all I need is what I have already (FGS 5.4.0) but with PHP enabled for mysql.

But this test is not controlled at all because we are not using the same shapefiles and we can't say so. What we can say that a couple of hundred of thousand polygons can be drawn faster. However, it does not really make sense to render an image this way if it should be fast. If the screen has 1000 by 1000 pixels it makes a million pixels together. For 20 polygons it makes 5 pixels per polygon. You can simplify your polygon geometries pretty much before anybody can see the differense. If the polygons are spread evenly nobody can even see the difference if there are 2 or 20 polygons on the screen. We have one polygon layer with about million polygons and for that I made two simplified layers which contain only 1 percent and 10 percent of all the polygons. Those and the original shapefile are put into the same scale dependent WMS GROUP layer. This group is pretty fast at any scale. The 1 percent layer is perhaps a bit too sparse but I have been too lazy to have a try with 2 or 5 percent samples. -Jukka Rahkonen- ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Re: [mapserver-users] Display performance
Hi 20 secs is from turning the layer on in the interface. The data is a model grid as polygons, the file size is about 40mb. I agree 20secs is too long - I am a web developer in general and know users are fickle! The other layers load v.quickly so happy in general with performance of smaller model grids. The same layer in an old arcgis server app loads a few secs quicker (from SDE rather than file) and we just accepted it was just 'one of those things' and deadlines got in the way - mmm... The app is living on a reasonable specced server living in a data centre and the old web app has been serving the offshore renewables industry fine for a couple of years or so, just have a need to move to an open source solution. I was trying to get a feel whether moving to PostGIS rather than local file will speed things up - I get the feeling it is marginal. Maybe I am missing another processing trick (admittedly I have done minimal work bar a spatial index). Thanks for the swift response.

I have just realised (admittedly not looked at the data for a couple of years) that it is actually 170,000 records - takes about 20 secs to load - sound reasonable? What does to load mean? Is 20 seconds the time elapsed from when the user clicks on the browser to when the user sees the resulting image? You are ripping through 170K features and creating an image. 20 seconds seems like a lot. How big and complicated are those features? How big is the shapefile, in physical size (MB, KB). What kind of computer are you using? What other processes are running? So many variables... in any case, if you have a web app, and you want your users to remain interested in it, you probably will want to bring down the time to load to sub-second, or, at the most a few seconds. You will also want to consider multiple users -- acceptable performance with one user might translate into horrendous performance with several concurrent users.

Re: [mapserver-users] Display performance
Steve I don't have postgis, hence the fishing around for answers from helpful people like yourself! You are right about playing around with generalisations, unfortunately the colouring is very specific and needs to match other GIS outputs, so will have to still 'look' right - something I will have a play with in due course. Once you zoom in the data is quite usable - ie. the spatial index is doing it's job, so not all is lost. Thanks for the ideas Chris On 2 September 2010 21:36, Lime, Steve D (DNR) steve.l...@state.mn.uswrote: If you have postgis already sitting around then it’s pretty quick just to try it and see. I’m assuming you’re talking 20sec for everything, all 170K features? A spatial index doesn’t buy you anything in the ‘all’ case. That is a lot of features to display at once and I wonder if one can even make sense of that much detail. A common technique would be display reduced or somehow generalized versions of the data at that level and then hit the detailed data as a user zooms in. Without knowing the data how you’d do that would vary. For example, you could actually rasterize the data and display the pre-rendered raster version small scales. Or you might be able to thin the data a bit. Lots of options. Steve ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] Feature select performance
Steve I was pursuing the performance issue on the pmapper mailing list too. It transpires it is related to browser performance (from a JS aspect) for the web apps query/redraw processes - IE7 - awful (8mins), IE8 and FF pretty good - around 20secs for returning/highlighting 5000 features (and building results table) and Chrome about 13 secs, that is without even creating a spatial index. Thanks for the info and I think I may even not have to go down the db route (which keeps life simple!) just advise IE6/7 users to switch browsers (not the first webGIS app I know that does this!)

Attribute queries can be quite slow with shapefiles since MapServer doesn’t do any attribute indexing. That’s where the RDMS really adds value. There shouldn’t be much of a difference with a bbox query, and in fact, a local shapefile will probably be faster, even on larger datasets as long as you’ve build an spatial index file. Anyway, it’s what you do with results afterwards that matters and that’s probably specific to your application.

RE: [mapserver-users] WFS Server does not support VERSION 1.1.0
Hi Assefa I am using a Virtual Private Server and my ISP tells me that it uses Linux 5.2.1. The Mapserver version is 5.6.3, which came with the latest FGS version downloaded two days ago. The VPS comes with Apache pre-installed so I have 2 versions of Apache running, one already there and the other installed as part of the FGS package (the FGS version uses port 81). Since asking for help I have continued to try modifications to my map file (which still runs fine under MS4W although with a number of directory changes for Linux) but I still have the same problem - either no WFS results with 1.0.0 or with 'WFS Server does not support VERSION 1.1.0' I don't know much (actually almost nothing) about Linux. I am contemplating re-installing Mapserver as a stand alone (not with FGS) so there is only one version of Apache present. Would you recommend this - or do you have any other suggestions?

[mapserver-users] Great Circle Rendering
Hello list, As a complete newcomer to WMS Im looking to make a decision as to which WMS is best suited for my requirements. With this in mind I have a question on MapServer in relation to one of my requirements. How easy is it use mapserver for the following: I would like to use MapServer to serve a simple map depicting parts of the world and capital cities. The region to be covered would be defined as would the required projection. On to this background I would like to be able to draw a great circle between two of the cities on the fly and have all visible entities (coastline, cities and Great Circle) correctly rendered for the specified projection. Assuming that country and city information was available in a useable format e.g. ShapeFile and the http request indicated the bounding region and the two cities that need to be linked by a great circle how easy would this be to do in MapServer? The part that I am completely ignorant in is the rendering of the great circle between the two sets of lat/long keeping in mind that this part (the required pair of cities) would potentially be different for each request. Any indication as to how easy this is to do or how to go about doing it would be greatly received.

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS Client Error Handling
Thanks Daniel, that seems to be working well. The biggest problem I have is that I need to parse the name of the layer that had the error out of the error-message - this works but obviously the format of the error message could change in the future which would break my parser. I guess there is potentially a lot of different things that could be involved in the error so having a separate field in the error object for each of them might be too much to ask, but a field for the layer name would certainly be handy for me in this case :) Cheers, Chris Daniel Morissette wrote: Chris Hodgson wrote: I'm implementing a WMS proxy server using PHP mapscript.

Then if an exception is received MapServer will try to read the exception message and pass it to msSetError() with an error code of MS_WMSERR (24). This does not cause a fatal error and won't stop your script though, the message is only stored in the error stack. In MapScript you should be able to read the error stack (errorObj) and extract the error messages. More about the errorObj at http://mapserver.org/trunk/en/mapscript/php/index.html#errorobj-class I think the handling of WMS exceptions could be greatly improved, but you may be able to get along with this basic stuff.

Re: [mapserver-users] Raster layers with partial transparency
Just a guess but have you tried with transparent = 0? Just wondering if the transparent mode rendering is somehow overriding the RGBA alpha mode rendering? Chris Jason Beverage wrote: Hi all, I'm serving up some raster imagery with an alpha band that contains partially transparent pixels using mapscript but when the image is rendered, the partially transparent portions (alpha between 5 and 10) come through completely opaque (alpha of 255). Areas that are fully opaque or fully transparent look fine. I'm using an output format with the GD/PNG renderer with a RGBA image mode and transparent set to true. I've tried using the AGG/PNG and GDAL/PNG renderers with the same result. C# code for the output format: map.outputformat.name http://map.outputformat.name = PNG; map.outputformat.driver = GD/PNG; map.outputformat.mimetype = image/png; map.outputformat.imagemode = (int)MS_IMAGEMODE.MS_IMAGEMODE_RGBA; map.outputformat.extension = png; map.outputformat.transparent = 1; Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

[mapserver-users] WMS Client Error Handling
I'm implementing a WMS proxy server using PHP mapscript. I'm fetching the capabilities programmatically and storing them in a database and then building a mapfile on the fly. The mapfile contains multiple connectiontype WMS layers, and I'd like to be able to (a) determine when one of the WMS client requests has failed, and (b) get the error message returned for each failed layer. I'm starting to think this may not be possible currently, and it seems that the code for doing anything like this has been pushed back for a while [ http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1246 ]. Any chance that I'm wrong and there is already a way to do this? Anybody else interested in this feature? Anybody already done something like this? I guess the alternatives are to either try to implement this myself in mapserver, or perhaps drop mapserver altogether for my proxy application and just do my own WMS requests and image compositing because I guess that is all that I am using mapserver for right now.

[mapserver-users] query mode, multiple selections
I'm just starting to play with query mode and find it very useful. I have an interaction style in mind that would let me select and highlight several (possibly connected) links in a layer in a fairly interactive style (more like one would do with ArcGIS, I guess). I'm pretty sure that I won't be successful doing this with the basic CGI, and am overwhelmed by the number of Ajax layers that I might choose from. Are there documents/pages out there that might give me some guidance about what's possible with the various packages?

Re: [mapserver-users] query mode, multiple selections
Sure. The basic use case is: User navigates to a particular, known, lat/lon as starting point; this can be by entering the known lat/lon values, or by navigation around cities. User then selects one or more links and can inspect attributes associated with those links - in particular, link_id and direction. Initial selection could be by sweeping out an area, but should also provide a way of adding/removing specific links from the selection (control-select). Did that makes sense? chris Steve Lime wrote: You'd be surprised with what you can do with the CGI backend. It's certainly possible, with the right web client (e.g. something like GeoMoose or OpenLayers) to craft queries against the CGI to select one or many features from one or many layers using a point, box or arbitrary geometry. Perhaps if you could sketch out a use case or two...

[mapserver-users] MINSCALEDENOM, MAXSCALEDENOM help/tutorial?
I've got a large map that, for various reasons, wants to have all the layers on by default. Since
it's all the streets in the US, some of them highlighted by size, it takes a long time to draw - in
fact, mapserver often takes too long to respond, such that apache times out.
I'm trying to use the MIN/MAXSCALEDENOM to control display. The examples are not immediately
helpful, since they only use a single value, and don't leave me with a sense of how min or max
applies.
For example - which of these is correct if I want the layer to only appear when the map scale is
lower than 1:5 (that is, between 1:1 and 1:5, or rather, with very small features shown)?

[mapserver-users] Place names...?
Hi all Apologies in advance if this turns out to be a stupid question, but I can't find a way to make Map Server v5.0 display place names. I have created a shape file with points for towns and cities, each of which has a label. If I check this layer with Quantum GIS (which I used to create the points) I can display both the points and the labels showing town and city names. However when I define this layer in the mapfile with type 'point' MapServer gives me a display of the points but not the labels. If I define it as type 'annotation' I don't see either points or labels. I feel sure I am missing something obvious but after quite a few hours I am stuck. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

[mapserver-users] UTF-8 + SDE + GetfeatureInfo
Hey everyone, We're having a bit of a problem performing getfeatureinfo queries with mapserver. The french characters are coming out of the database as ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8. The database and servers are configured as UTF 8, the map files and the query templates too. Actually text/plain also has problems so it's not the templates. We're trying to encode everything as UTF 8 so me specificying ISO-8859-1 in the meta tag of the html query template doesn't work. GetFeatureInfo results: Layer 'SoilOrder' Feature 10894: OBJECTID = '10894' SLC_SOIL_ORDER_V31_22_ID = '81600931' SOIL_ORDER_NAME_EN = 'Chernozemic' SOIL_ORDER_NAME_FR = 'Chernoz�mique' - error is here in my browser. SOIL_ORDER_PCNT = '84' SHAPE = 'shape' Any idea if there are outstanding problems here with SDE and mapserver not playing nice with this? We're beating our heads against the wall thinking about what config we could have missed. Oh - labels with french are fine, and so are legends; it's only the getfeatureinfo queries that have troubles.

RE: [mapserver-users] Mapserver and Microsoft SQL Server 2008
Thanks for the reply, I did notice the geometry_columns table was missing
and at first when I added it, I got SQL errors, but after a few tweaks, I no
longer get the errors when I have a geometry_columns table in my database. I
narrowed the error down to the layer.open() command, and found where the
error occurs in the source code of the sql server plugin dll. For some
reason it cannot locate the geometry column in either the table itself or
the geometry_columns table, even though both are specified as 'the_geom'.
I'm looking into the security now, I did notice that I could not set the
owner of the geometry_columns table... CREATE TABLE geometry_columns OWNER
TO owner, SQL isn't liking the 'OWNER' part... Otherwise I'll have another
look at the webserver permissions, but those have never been a problem...
At a bit of a loss here and running out of ideas...
Thanks

I know when you create the tables in the postgre database you
explicitly add the geometry column after the table creation
I'm guessing here, never having used SQL Server
This is like it is with PostGIS because PostGIS is not fully integrated with
Postgres, but a third party addon. In SQL Sever 2008 I would assume you'd
use alter table add ... to add a new geometry column, like you do for any
other native datatype.
Assuming MS actually followed someone else's standard for a change, your
database should have a geometry_columns table with the metadata of your
geometry column its table there. See if that all seems OK first. My guess
is that mapserver will be reading some info about the geometry from there...
So your first check should be that the geometry column exists in both the
table you created the geometry_columns table.
Other than that, I can only think of a permissions problem somewhere? Is the
web server user running the mapserver cgi able to access the SQL db/table
OK??
Someone who has more SQL Server expertise will have to advise any further
:-)
HTH,
Brent Wood
ie: SELECT
AddGeometryColumn('','ct_main_points','the_geom','-1','POINT',2);
when I tried this in SQL 2008 the function was not recognized and I
cannot find the SQL equivalent function. So I simply added the
geometry column when I created the table, now I have a feeling that is
what is causing this error.
If anyone has seen this error or knows of the AddGeometryColumn SQL
2008 equivalent function, please could you let me know.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver and Microsoft SQL Server 2008
I thought I'd share my results of my past few weeks work on resolving my problem with the location of the plugin dll I was looking for. I found the dll in a product at http://www.mapdotnet.com (simply installed the demo and copied the dll then uninstalled) And I have just finished importing all my map data in SQL 2008. I reserved the road data for last and noticed a significant decrease in performance as I switched between postgre and sql 2008. And average of 1 or 2 seconds slower than postgre with a max of about 5 or 6 seconds where lots of detail is being displayed on the map. Anyway, as much as I wana tell Bill his program stinks, we will lose the competition if I do ;) so I'm forced to stick with SQL 08 and look for ways to improve performance.
