Sorry to butt in, but does changing the max limit in "map.h" (to say 1000)
and then recompiling have any effect on the speed / efficiency of mapserver
if you have have a map file wth only 1 - 5 layers?

Randy,
The limit is set in map.h
You can change the limit and recompile
More resent version have a higher limit I think, but I'm not sure what.

Greetings,
I've come across this rumor/fact, that there is a maximum of 50 layers
in a
map file. Unknowingly I was experimenting the use of MapServer for
QC'ing
a project, that I put in 2,500 layers into a mapfile. Yes, not
surprisingly
MapServer baucked about this. Then the first question is what is the
limit,
then I found out that it was 50!
I looked in to an existing mapfile that we have and it has 45 layers.
These
layers are represented at different scales, and/or by spatial reference
(i.e. Indices for different UTM zones), then a watermark.
We are moving into more global datasets which may be represented the
same
way. There's 60 UTM zones. So the 50 layer limit is going to be a
problem
in the short term.
Can anyone verify this fact? And is there a work around in place to
accomplish these needs?
Thanks, Randy ________________________________________________
