RE: [mapguide-users] Lack of Coordinate Systems
Ryan, Is your PROJ_LIB environment setting pointing to the nad directory? Is your GDAL_DATA environment setting pointing to the data directory? If you are running the MapGuide server from a script ensure that it is not altering the above environment settings. The categories.txt file needs to be in the nad directory pointed to by the PROJ_LIB environment setting.

Specifically, 'enumerating categories' only shows arbitrary x-y coordinate systems. I've looked through the mailing list archives and it would seem that the problem is that the application is not picking up 'categories.txt'. I have placed this file in both the 'data' and 'nad' directories and restarted both Apache and the Mapguide daemon without success...any pointers on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. == Ryan Foster Associate Planner / IT Technician City of Arroyo Grande (805) 473-5420 ___ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
Re: [mapguide-users] Lack of coordinate systems
Hi Kenneth, It certainly seems to be the same problem, but I have tried the solution (copying categories.txt into the both the nad directory and the data directory and setting the PROJ_LIB environment variable to the nad directory) but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. I have checked permissions and this file has exactly the same permissions as everything else in the directory. When I enumerate the coordinate system categories I still only see the arbitrary X-Y option. Can someone who fixed this issue confirm whether they copied or moved the categories.txt file from the server directory, what the permissions are on it once it's moved, and whether they have the GDAL_DATA and PROJ_LIB environment variables set when they start the server. I am starting mgserver as root- is this likely to be part of the problem?
