[mapguide-users] Administering site remotely

I am new to Mapguide Open Source. I have set up Mapguide on our company's main server (Windows 2003) and have successfully viewed the Shobogan sample data. I would like to administer the server remotely from my workstation, that is, I would like to access the Mapguide server via a web browser wit

Thanks for the quick reply Martin. When I attempted to access the Windows Firewall settings I get the error message shown in this screen capture: http://screencast.com/t/MDZkZGQxN Apparently there is another application managing the firewall settings. Do you recognize the error? We are using NOD

Dave, Actually I don't really need to administer the services and probably don't need to administer the site. I just need to figure out what is preventing me from accessing the maps. For example, I cannot view the Sheyboygan sample map remotely. I have to log in to the server and view it via the

I suspect you are right Martin. Until I can find a way to access the settings I'm dead in the water. I'm not clear on whether I need to install an authoring tool such as Maestro or if there is one built in. From what I read somewhere, there is an authroing tool included in the Mapguide installer

I went ahead and installed Maestro just to see if it made any difference. When I loaded it, I used http://:8008/Mapguide... for the path to the server and it works! I can also access the Mapguide server via my workstation now, though I don't know why. I am happy to finally get things working. Tha

Not having any experience with web based mapping I am finding it very difficult to make headway with Mapguide due to the lack of any consolidated sources for help. I have spent hours searching through forum posts trying to find answers to questions with little success. I need help with the follow

I appreciate the encouragement but I have spent lots of time researching. That is why I am getting discouraged. For all the time I have invested I have made little progress. Without a step by step instuction guide for creating maps it is more a trial and error process to get anywhere, with long di

Mark, The objective is to serve GIS data to in-house staff who either do not have Map or who do not know how to use it. I would like to mix in-house data with published resources and services. Some of our data is in DWG form (contour maps, etc.). Also I would like to overlay project drawings onto

I'm running Maestro 1.1.0.4358. I believe it is beta but it was highly touted by Jason Birch in one of his posts so I assumed it was stable. Should I go back to another version? The only other thing I can think of that might be causing problems is I downloaded an updated set of FDO providers from

Installing the current version of Maestro solves the WMS connection problem. What an aggravation that was! I'm still not able to view a feature from the service though. None of the feature classes have any Geometry. Please note the screen capture again. Are you getting anything? http://screencas

Hi Dennis, While I haven't invested years into this endeavor as perhaps you and others have, I came into it with the expectation that I could get a website up and running in a few days or weeks, not years, based on what I saw and heard in a presentation. After running into so many issues I am sta

After downgrading to MGOS 2.0.2 I am still not able to display my TIF images or any WMS features. Therefore I'll conclude that the problem is in my workflow and will have to go back to searching threads. Supposedly 2.1 can reproject raster imagery vs. 2.0 so I'll probably upgrade again once I figu
