MapServer 6.2 isn't ready for production use, however, MapCache is. I've been pairing it and 6.0.2 for production use for months... Just another opinion. -Steve ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of [email protected] [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 2:09 PM To: Corey Carpenter Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Setup advice please?
Hi Corey, Thanks for the suggestion. At this stage the requirement is for a stable production system. Mapserver 6.2 & mapcache are not, still being under development. I realise that this does not preclude the software running robustly, but it will not be an acceptable solution in this case. Mapserver 6.01, as the latest stable release, is the required platform. Hence my suggestion of Tilecache & MapProxy as suitable applications, which are available as binary packages ready to install.

To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Date: Saturday, March 3, 2012, 8:40 AM Unless I read your question incorrectly, this is the main function of mapcache. You will need to use a fairly new version of mapserver 6.2 / trunk. You will be able to seed your cache, so the tiles you define are available on the first request. I have used tilecache and other methods, but I have no experience with mapcache. On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 1:10 PM, <[email protected]</mc/[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, Hopefully someone here can help. I have about 50Gb of high resolution aerial photos (geotiffs) to set up as a cached WMS service. We have a mapserver setup ready to use, with backups, etc. already sorted. The dataset is competely static. I'd like to set up MapProxy or Tilecache as a tiled WMS service for an OpenLayers front end, and possible other public use. I'm happy with a dynamically populated cache, rather than a pre-filled one, so the cache is built up as it is used. Can anyone experienced in this area suggest what sort of time is reasonable to expect a competent team to set this up in a professional way, with reasonable supporting docs, etc? Remembering we have a supported server to work with. It has been asked for by a small local environmental interest group with zero funds, and I need to get a reasonable commercial cost for such an exercise to start with.
