Re: [mapserver-users] mapcache question

2016-08-30 Thread Jukka Sirviö
I was not able to solve the problems on fresh CentOS 7 environment with all the 
latest libraries/dependencies included. on old test environment, I did 
upgrade/build to gdal 2.1.1 and also latest mapcache master. this environment 
is working as one would expect according given instructions in 
http://mapserver.org/mapcache/install.html.  

so basically now I'm back on the already achieved square 1, with that 
difference, that the versions of mapcache and gdal are upgraded. ==> now I'm 
able to proceed with Thomas suggestion with GDAL data source and GDAL WMTS 
driver. 

From this point of view, this post is completed, thus, more questions will come!

Thanks for patience..

The demo file in master parses correctly. Again, if you're having an issue it 
is either because you have made invalid (in the xml sense) modifications to it, 
or that your apache user doesn't have access rights to it (or to the 
directories above it).

file and directory rights should be ok, mapcache.xml is the demo file included 
in master. 
of-course, have tried this with quite a lot of ways without success, starting 
to feel numb.

Hi,

Actually it just says there is an error in your mapcache.xml file (or maybe 
apache can't even access/read it). Check the files rights, check the file 
itself, and you should find what the problem is.

Re: [mapserver-users] mapcache question

2016-08-29 Thread thomas bonfort
There's no on the fly reprojection of an exisiting cache, so to be
able to serve the same tileset/layer under multiple SRSs you'll need
to have one cache per srs/grid.

As the error message says, your xml is invalid (any text editor with
syntax highlighting will help you). This is not related to mapcache

Hello,

The MS4W installer for Windows users is a good reference for Apache's 
configuration with MapCache, you could download it and review httpd.conf 
(and its mapcache.xml) or just see the config steps at: 
http://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#g-mapcache-apache-module

I believe that there still would be an issue as the reprojection from X to Y, 
the reprojection would need to be done on the source WMTS side.  I guess you 
could proxy the source WMTS using mapserver with the gdal mini driver  and 
reproject to create a WMS to feed mapcache?

Re: [mapserver-users] mapcache question

2016-08-24 Thread Lime, Steve D (MNIT)
I would think reprojection of individual tiles into another set of tiles that 
would stitch back together without artifacts would be difficult. I thought 
MapCache did support native MapServer mode=map as a source which could useful 
if GDAL supports WMTS and you could create a corresponding MapServer layer.

Jukka,

According to the docs mapcache only support WMS as input.

" A source is a service mod-mapcache can query to obtain image data. This is 
typically a WMS server accessible by a URL. (There are currently no sources 
other than WMS implemented, though others may be added later if the need 
arises)"

If this is still true then your proposed chain will not work.

MapProxy will support a tiled source and I know TMS works  (not sure about 
WMTS) and handle the reprojection

Hello,
I would like to put a mapcache to be in the middle, in the following chain:

1) original wmts service in local/national crs x   -->  2) mapcache wmts, 
reprojection to world-wide crs y (3857) -->  3) user interface (OpenLayers v2, 
Qgis), also in crs y

Mapcache was compiled, and is working a-ok with demo data. But I have trouble 
to configure mapcache to work as a part in the above chain. As planned, 
Mapcache should work as a WMTS client down towards target 1 and WMTS server up 
against target 3, ie. kind of a proxy with crs reprojection and basic auth. 
Anyway, does this make any sense at all, or is the draft totally irrational?

If the draft is reasonable, could you give some hints on how to proceed related

Yes, this seems correct. I will not that you CAN NOT use mapcache_seed 
AND web requests TOGETHER as they do not use compatible locking 
mechanisms. So either use mapcache_seed before you deploy or use the web 
requests to dynamically seed the cache. You can use mapcache_seed to do 
a partial pre seeding (like rectangles around major cities) then change 
over to web request which will generate tiles as needed in the remaining 
areas.

Tim,

MapCache Is simply a tiling server.  It will take images from a
source and store them in a cache.  These tiles are exposed as
services to clients - WMTS, WMS, TMS etc...  MapServer on the other
hand will read source data (GIS files / database) and render images
based on rules defined in the mapfile.  These images are used as the
source for MapCache.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapcache question.

2011-12-04 Thread thomas bonfort
only the wms and wmts services support dimensions (there is no spec
defining this support for the others).

you can either adapt your gmaps/js code to build a wmts url, or hack
into the mapcache code to add dimension support to the tms / gmaps
service.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapcache question.

2011-12-04 Thread Stephen Woodbridge

Hi Jerl,

Maybe! is the short answer. The analysis of the problem is:

1. What is the primary purpose of mapcache?

Will it is a flexible tools that can do a lot of things, like on-the-fly 
cache building, compositing images from tiles in the cache, etc. It's 
primary purpose is to provide tile generation and tile serving for 
environments that need tiles instead of draw on demand images.


2. So to some extent this depends on your usage model, ie: tile requests 
per unit time.


3. it sounds like from your description below, that you are serving draw 
on demand images and not using a tile cache at the moment.


To use a tile cache given your current scenario, you would still have to 
do everything the same as before, but you would also have to figure out 
what tiles at the various zoom levels needed to be removed when any of 
the GeoTiffs changed, either replace some existing GeoTiff or got 
removed because of age.


I'm not sure I see anyway that it will magically simplify your process. 
And on the contrary, it will add some complexity to the whole process. 
That said, if your demand is increasing and your server(s) are having 
trouble keeping up with the image demand, then adding mapcache could be 
a solution.

I'm wondering if Mapcache can help with a particular setup, and if so

Here's the setup.  Every 5 minutes a new set of GeoTiffs are created in
a new directory.  I create a tileindex for the GeoTiffs and use those in
the map layer.  Every hour, anything more than 5hours old gets deleted.
I have a single mapfile setup.

The general layer is setup like:

'wms_srs' 'EPSG:4326'
'wms_extent' 'MINX MINY MAXX MAXY'
'default_targetdate' ''
'targetdate_validation_pattern' '^[0-9]{12}$'
 END
 STATUS ON
 TILEINDEX '/PATH/TO/IMG/DIR/%targetdate%/TILEINDEX.shp'
 TILEITEM 'Location'
 TYPE RASTER
 END


I'm currently loading these images as overlays for Googlemaps. using the
mode=tile&tilemode=gmaps...&targetdate=2011...etc.
Problem is it's too slow. I end up loading hundreds of images, as I
basically create an animation using sequential times.

I'd like to be able to have a single mapcache config file, that will
pass the date through to pull the proper shapefile, and have the result
cached so next time it's loading off the disk.  MOST of the images end
up being blank/transparent tiles.

Is Mapcache a good choice for this?
The front end for this is just a simple GoogleMaps viewport, but ends up
loading multiple timeslots for display.  It generates the request URL
(not currently in WMS fashion but could be).

Thanks for any help I can get.
