Re: [mapguide-users] Getting Started Site Admin Problem
It appears Christy’s idea about MapGuide service running was the problem in this case. I don’t know how mgserver.exe is being started, but I see it running where it wasn’t before. (I have a useful program free program, Process Explore, which shows the processes that are running.) Is there a procedure to start and stop mgserver? With MapGuide running I can login to Site Administer. Should I still open a trac ticket? This solution has brought me to the next problem: loading the Sheboygan.mpg package. I’ve downloaded Sheboygan.mpg, extracted the files and copied them into the C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Packages directory. I can see the file in the directory via Explorer. MapGuide Site Administrator – Manage Packages – Load Package displays a “No packages found.“ message, and no package names appear in the Configure Packages directory table. Suggested solutions would be appreciated.

Re: [mapguide-users] Getting Started Site Admin Problem
You can start/stop the service from the Services MSC just like all other services: Start Menu - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services You you can describe and replicate the problem, please file a ticket. When you download the MGP package with IE, it guesses that it is indeed a Zip file, and renames it. You must take the entire zip file, and give it extension mgp. Windows Explorer sometimes hides the extensions of files per default, so watch out for that. When you have the MGP package, place the single file into the packages directory, and it will appear in the Site Administrator.

Re: [mapguide-users] Getting Started Site Admin Problem
You can start/stop mgserver using the Services Applet in Administrative Tools. Or alternatively, you can run: net stop MapGuide Server v2.0 net start MapGuide Server v2.0 Re: Trac tickets. I'm of the belief you should file tickets regardless of how trivial they are. Worst case: it gets closed and forgotten, best case: someone will actually look at it ;-) - Jackie Bob W wrote: It appears Christy’s idea about MapGuide service running was the problem in this case.

Re: [mapguide-users] Getting Started Site Admin Problem
I didn't ask what version of MGOS you were running, so depending on what version, the service names are: = 1.1.0 - MapGuide Server 1.2.0 - MapGuide Server v1.2 2.0.0 - MapGuide Server v2.0 - Jackie Jackie Ng wrote: You can start/stop mgserver using the Services Applet in Administrative Tools.

Re: [mapguide-users] Getting Started Site Admin Problem
I received a helpful suggestion from Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S about windows marking zipped downloads with a “.zip” extension. Once I’d manually changed the extension to “.mgp” the load package worked.

RE: [mapguide-users] Getting Started Site Admin Problem
Hi, The problem is that this error message is returned for any problem which includes when the server is not running. The current message isn't very helpful in the case where the server isn't actually running. Can you please create a trac ticket for this defect so that it can be looked at? Please see http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ Thanks, Bruce -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christy Nieman Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 10:42 AM To: MapGuide Users Mail List Subject: Re: [mapguide-users] Getting Started Site Admin Problem Have you checked to make sure that the MapGuide service is running?
