Hi Frank,

This may work, but I'm unable to test it, since I'm currently unable to retrieve anything newer than 5.2.1 (included in the latest ms4w.zip). There's a newer version 5.7beta of Mapserver included in the FWTools package, but the DLL set it uses seems totally different from the one used in cgi-bin in the ms4w package.

Please advise as to how I can download a newer version of Mapserver.

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Mapserver as a WMS server, serving multiple seamless coverages consisting of ECW raster tiles.

My problem is, that the ECW files have been delivered with faulty header information, and there's too many to fix manually, and the error cannot easily be remedied programmatically.

However, I have generated TFW files for each tile that are correct, but how do I force Mapserver to use the TFW files and disregard the faulty ECW header ?

Lars,

As it happens this is not a unique situation and MapServer itself has some
logic to address it.  If you add:

  PROCESSING "EXTENT_PRIORITY=WORLD"

to your layer definition, then world files will be searched for in preference to using the georeferencing returned by GDAL. I'm not sure exactly when this was incorporated but I imagine it is in 5.4 and later. Also the file extension
should likely be either .eww or .wld, not .tfw for ecw files.

Best regards,
