Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Generating a map with mapfile context document

[Pagurek,Debbie [NCR]]

OK - I'll bite...

you have a lot of different problems here, so I think you should do some reading first on the Mapserver web site.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/

and

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile

double check your imagepath and imageurl.

 

the main point here is that a CONTEXT document is part of the OGC protocols, so it has to point to a Web Map Service (WMS).

Your current mapfile is not producing a WMS. You have to add some additional things to your mapfile to produce a WMS.
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/?searchterm=wms%20server

 

get those things working first, and then try your context document stuff.

another good source of information on OGC and mapserver is the OGC workshop:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/tutorial/ms_ogc_workshop/ogc-workshop-link/?searchterm=ogc

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Generating a map with mapfile context document

Hi all, i am trying to generate a map from mapfile context document. I have a mapfile with a raster layer,

 

MAP
    NAME "wallmap"
    SIZE 600 600
    STATUS ON
    EXTENT 610537 5291088 627571 5308122
    IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
    IMAGETYPE JPEG
    UNITS METERS

     
    WEB
        TEMPLATE "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.html"
        IMAGEPATH "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp\"
        IMAGEURL "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp\"
    END

    LAYER
       NAME "raster1"
       TYPE RASTER
       PROJECTION
         "init=epsg:26914"
       END
       DATA "pathtotestfile.sid"
       OFFSITE 0 0 0
       STATUS OFF
    END

END

 

The mapcontext document is as follows

 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?>

<ViewContext version="1.0.0" id="wallmap" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/context" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/context http://schemas.opengis.net/context/1.0.0/context.xsd">

</LayerList>

</ViewContext>

 

when i inlcude this context file in the browser, nothing gets displayed, the url is as follows

 

http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe?MODE=map&MAP=c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/testmap.map&CONTEXT=c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/contextdoc.xml&LAYERS=raster1

 

What more do i need to add, do i need to add anything else in the url, if anyone has generated a map with context file can you suggest whats missing ...

 

Thanks for your time ...
