The Tile4ms utility is kicking out an error on some of the larger shape files, saying the .dbf doesn't match the file. Whatever that means. I can still load the "bad" shapefiles in Global Mapper, and they appear to be correct. I'm reprocessing the data now to cut down on the number of files. I should end up with a 48x16 grid covering the whole world. Hopefully I can get that working with an index and speed things up when displaying this layer.

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. -Steve _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
