Hi,
Is there a way to add a layer that points to 6000 some odd shapefiles? I've
created a set of contour files for the whole world, and when I had the info in
a single shapefile it was about 260GBs. Mapserver would serve it up, but
performance was horrible. I now have the set broken up into about 6000
separate shapefiles, but don't know how to address that in a single layer. I
tried using gdaltindex, to create a single index file that points to all the
other shapefiles, but I get an error saying the shapefiles are an unsupported
type. Is there some other way to create an index that Mapserver can use to
point to this many shapefiles?
Thanks,
James
You can use the MapServer "tile4ms" utility
(http://mapserver.org/utilities/tile4ms.html). There are some good
examples on that page for you to follow.
Check the results from tile4ms with shpdump and make sure that you dont
have all null shapes. I have run into this on Ubuntu. I believe in both
the packages and compiling for source. I haven't had time to run down
what the issues are.
