Hey Dane, Thanks! I'm using the BC Albers projection, which makes BC look more normal than the Mercator, which makes the top of BC look HUGE!
Yes I am using the 129 patch ( http://trac.mapnik.org/attachment/ticket/129/wms_theofilu.diff ) #!/usr/bin/env python from mapnik.ogcserver.WMS import BaseWMSFactory from mapnik import * mapfile = 'map.xml' class WMSFactory(BaseWMSFactory): def __init__(self): BaseWMSFactory.__init__(self) self.loadXML('/home/sysadmin/map/map.xml') self.finalize() Which I cribbed from your example http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tutorials/wms/ (Which just changed I noticed, the xml loading has moved to a new file...) I tried your suggestion of putting the styles into difference instances, and that seems to cause problems. I can still load the "edi" shape layer but if I add in the second label layer (in my OpenLayers WMS request) it causes a error and I get image tiles with the error message written on them! Once again this same XML works from the CLI. Thanks for looking into this Dane!

See the two example png files, wms and python(command line) both using the same xml style file. As far as WMS, I assume you are using this patch http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/129 to get the WMS server reading XML? If so, there is likely improvement needed in the patch to register aggregate styles in the correct order. Or have you come up with a different solution? In the wms version the labels are under the polygons, even though the style is called later in my xml. The command line version is just fine....any ideas where I could be going wrong? In general a work around could be to do this (register your styles to a different instance of the same layer): <Layer name="edi" srs="+proj=aea +lat_1=50 +lat_2=58.5 +lat_0=45 +lon_0=-126 +x_0=1000000 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs "> <StyleName>edi</StyleName> <Datasource> <Parameter name="type">shape</Parameter> <Parameter name="file">/home/sysadmin/map/bc_edi</Parameter> </Datasource> </Layer> <Layer name="edit_labels" srs="+proj=aea +lat_1=50 +lat_2=58.5 +lat_0=45 +lon_0=-126 +x_0=1000000 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs "> <StyleName>labels</StyleName> <Datasource> <Parameter name="type">shape</Parameter> <Parameter name="file">/home/sysadmin/map/bc_edi</Parameter> </Datasource> </Layer> The other difference is that when I change the BG color in the xml it doesn't effect the WMS but it changes in the command line (notice the blue background)... I'll wait to comment on this until I understand more how you are loading your XML into the WMS. Can you paste a code snippet? Cheers, Dane
