Hi all I am not sure how to explain this, but i will try my best. I have a mapfile that works perfectly from openlayers through calling Layer.WMS. I then modified the layer file to include a point shapefile. If I then call the mapfile like: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:\\ms4w\\apps\\Streetmap\\ZDM.map&Mode=map
all works fine, and I see the points. If I however refresh my openlayers map, I see the original map without the points displayed. I then tried to clear my cache and Ctrl f5 again, but still the same problem. I then changed my openlayers from Layer.WMS to Layer.MapServer and tried, but still the same problem. As a final test I changed it to Layer.MapServer.Untiled, and I could see the points....that is until I zoom in, then the points dissapear. So what is the problem? Is it possibly a map file error?, I will give an extract of my mapfile and the offending layer. I must also add that the file did get corrupt at one stage, but I did have a backup in projected file, which I did reproject to WGS84 (essentially re-creating it)...but I have no gaurantee that the backup file is not corrupted...so could all this be the fault of a corrupt shapefile?? Anyway, here is the layer extract and the header of my mapfile: LAYER NAME 'Scheme_Components' TYPE POINT DATA 'Infrastructure\Scheme_Components' METADATA 'wms_title' 'Scheme_Components' END STATUS DEFAULT TRANSPARENCY 100 PROJECTION "init=epsg:4148" END CLASS MINSCALE 1 MAXSCALE 5000000 NAME 'Communal Standpipe' STYLE SYMBOL 'Triangle' SIZE 7 COLOR 182 120 174 END END END _______________________________________________ MAP NAME 'ZDM' SIZE 600 500 UNITS dd SHAPEPATH "D:\ZDM\basedata\" #CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "D:\WWW\WMSMapServer\ms4w\proj\nad\" CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "C:\ms4w\proj\nad\" FONTSET "Fonts/fonts.txt" SYMBOLSET "Symbols/symbols.sym" EXTENT 29.739840 -28.780849 32.845078 -26.922820 PROJECTION "init=epsg:4148" END OUTPUTFORMAT NAME 'AGG_JPEG' DRIVER AGG/JPEG IMAGEMODE RGB FORMATOPTION "QUALITY=90" END #Legend LEGEND IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255 STATUS ON KEYSIZE 16 10 LABEL TYPE truetype ANTIALIAS true FONT arial SIZE 9 COLOR 0 0 0 BUFFER 1 PARTIALS false MINDISTANCE 500 END END SCALEBAR COLOR 0 0 0 IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255 INTERVALS 3 LABEL TYPE truetype ANTIALIAS true FONT arial SIZE 7 COLOR 0 0 0 BUFFER 1 PARTIALS false MINDISTANCE 500 END OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 POSTLABELCACHE TRUE POSITION LL SIZE 120 4 STATUS ON STYLE 0 UNITS KILOMETERS END WEB # Set IMAGEPATH to the path where MapServer should # write its output. #IMAGEPATH 'D:\ApplicationTemp\' IMAGEPATH 'D:\Inetpub\Uploads\Temp' # Set IMAGEURL to the url that points to IMAGEPATH # as defined in your web server configuration IMAGEURL 'Temp/' # WMS server settings METADATA 'wms_title' 'ZDM' 'wms_onlineresource' 'http://wms.mapexchange.co.za/qwms/qwms.aspx?'
