We're having some problems with MapCache with a fully-seeded cache covering a small geographic extent.
If the tileset definition doesn't have a restricted_extent, then any requests outside the cache extents are supposed to return blank tiles, and those blank tiles are being saved to the cache directory structure as symlinks. I want to avoid that, for two reasons: 1. There will be lots of requests outside the cache extent, and I want to avoid creating hundreds of thousands of symlinks (and empty directories) 2. The cache was originally seeded as user "root", but the MapCache web service runs as another user (either "apache" or the nginx user), and that user cannot write to the cache directory. If instead I set the grid (inside the tileset definition) to have a restricted_extent, then any requests outside the cache extents throw an error. Is there some way force MapCache to return a blank tile for requests outside the restricted_extent, without saving that tile into the cache? --------------------------------------- John Taranu Senior Web Developer First Base Solutions Inc email: [email protected] web: firstbasesolutions.com _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
