[mapserver-users] itemquery, itemnquery, qstring struggles

[Jim.Haug]

I've run into a brick wall on this. I've been trying to incorporate itemquery 
in a mapserver, first just through a simple test page that does a quick query. 
The test page is a simplified form of the itemquery in the test suite. If I use 
the qitem setting I get a "msDBFGetItemIndex(): DBASE file error. Item 
'[SITE_NO]' not found" error. If I drop the qitem, I get either the first item 
in the data, or in the case of an itemnquery, all of the data.

What I'm doing is setting up a mapserver for archaeological site data in South 
Dakota. The query will let a user enter an archaeological site number (i.e. 
39RO0005). In the test case, the server should find the site and give just a 
list of the site number it found; eventually I'll work it into zooming in on 
the site on the map. The problem is, that the search either ends up in an error 
(above) or it returns site '39AU0001', which is the first site in the dataset. 
If I try itemnquery, I get all 19,000 sites.

Here is the test web page:



ItemQuery test

and here is the layer part of the map file:

  LAYER
NAME 'sites'
TYPE POLYGON
DATA '/gisdata/sd/arch/sites.shp'
METADATA
  qstring_validation_pattern '.'
END
STATUS OFF
OPACITY 50
PROJECTION

END
LABELITEM "SITE_NO"
LABELMAXSCALEDENOM 48000
CLASS
   NAME 'sites' 
   TEMPLATE "/var/www/sd/templates/sites.html"
   LABEL

   END
   STYLE
 SYMBOL 0 
 SIZE 3 
 OUTLINECOLOR 64 64 64
 COLOR 200 64 64
   END
END
HEADER "/var/www/sd/templates/sites_h.html"
FOOTER "/var/www/sd/templates/sites_f.html"
  END


I've tried a few different qstring validation templates, but none of them seem 
to work. The line in the address on the browser I get from the server is:

http://hawken/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/gisdata/sd/sd_x.map&mode=itemquery&qlayer=sites&qstring=39ro0005

I'm stumped. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions, corrections, 
ridicule, whatever?

Jukka / Richard,

My understanding is that you would need to negotiate a license with
Leica for use of the SDK with MapServer as it's "server status" means
you cannot use it under the no-cost-to-use arrangements.

As usual, I am not a lawyer...

[mapserver-users] tiff raster files are not being displayed properly

[Don]

Here is a html version of my post.
http://home.comcast.net/~harterc1/rasterbug.html


I was getting output like below from may tiff files which were tiled by
mapserver.



I took look at each tiff file and examined them with utilities. The tiff
files that did not seem to work were encoded with big endian. I
converted one such file to little endian, but that did not fix the trouble.

This is the one that did not display properly:

I too would like some clarification about the ECW license,
specifically using ECW as a source in MapServer.

I have had excellent results with color ECWs.  I have tested
informally against RGB TIFFs, palatalized TIFFs, and ERDAS img formats
on a basic SCSI RAID and on a single IDE drive. The palatalized TIFFs
are the fastest, but look lousy. The other formats are comparable in
speed. ECWs, being smaller in size, are easier to maintain on remote
servers. The things that appear to make a significant difference in
speed are:
1. Use low compression levels. I typically use 8:1
2. Use pyramids. I know that ECW has internal support for pyramids,
but if you want to serve up fast ECW imagery, pretend that it doesn't.

Re: [mapserver-users] Layer (line) with LABELITEM...

[Steve Lime]

Hi Paul: For now you must have 2 layers. There's no way to make one
style apply
to the line work and the another to a label marker. That may change in
5.4 but for
now you're stuck with 2.

Steve

Hello guys...
I have 2 layers, LINE and ANNOTATION...
Like that :

SIZE 16

  END  ## BG
  STYLE

  MAXSCALE 4

  STYLE

  END
  MAXSCALE 45000

And I have a ANNOTATION to label the TestLINE layer:
LAYER

That works great...
But, Is that possible to make just one layer with lines and annotation..

Re: [mapserver-users] RE: Documentation for serving large raster images using tile cache.

[Roger André]

Hi Asif,

Best thing to do is take a look at these 2 docs first:
- http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data
- http://tilecache.org/readme.html

Once you have the ability to see your raster in MapServer via a "mode=map"
request, then you will have to decide how you wish to view your data
afterwards.  There are different things to do in TileCache depending on
whether you wish to view the data in OpenLayers, or over Google Maps/MS VE.

Objet: Re: [mapserver-users] Access control for wms served from
mapserver cgi

Hello Rahkonen (and Stephan),

This is an idea that I could make work...I'd have to lock-down mapserv

itself from all connections (otherwise anyone could just replace 
wms*.exe in the URL with the original mapserv.exe), though I guess I 
should be doing that anyway.

In response to Stephan Holl: I recognize there are other strategies
that 
involve proxying the WMS requests.  I was just hoping for something 
quick and easy that could be done with Apache more or less 
out-of-the-box using basic config files and/or modules like
mod_rewrite. 
  There have been a few cases where I needed to use mapserver on one 
machine to serve data using WMS to another server running mapserver as
a 
WMS client.  I just want to be able to do that with as little work as 
possible (i.e., if I can do it in Apache's config, then I can do it 
anywhere).

Essentially, my ideal solution would be if I can get something like 
mod_rewrite to say "if a request to mapserv contains 
'map=/path/to/somefile.map' in the query string, and the client is not

equal to some IP address, return 403, otherwise allow the request".  I

just don't quite know how to get mod_rewrite to work like that for me
(I 
found some promising examples online, but couldn't get them working).

Thanks again,
Mike

You'll want to ask the TileCache list about that, likely. Once you have 
MapServer actually serving up the imagery, get your client using 
MapServer or WMS (I like OpenLayers, myself). Then install TileCache and 
change the OL app to use TC's URL instead of MapServer's. Easy.


But you may want to install OpenLayers and get it working with MapServer 
first, then hit up the OL and TC mailing lists.

[mapserver-users] RE: Documentation for serving large raster images using tile cache.

[Asif Memon]

Hello,

 

Could someone please point me to the documentation for serving large
(2GB to 3GB) raster images using tile cache. I want to use Minnesota Map
Server and GDAL to achieve this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks! 

 

Sincerely,

Have you tested this on your own machine at home?  If you have a 
locked-down IIS machine trying to run MS4W I agree with Daniel that it 
is probably a permissions issue.  (in other words, try this outside of 
your work environment, and if all is ok there, then you know that it has 
something to do with your security at work)

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS don't load

[Brent Fraser]

Steve,

 That's baffling.  Two computers with the same version of Mapserver and the 
same mapfile allow different data types returned (I have no clue about the 
pragma:no-cache)?  Maybe an Apache config thing?  Are the conf files the same?

Oops, I forgot to copy to the list:

Steve,

Do
curl.exe 
"http://atlas.gc.ca/cgi-bin/atlaswms_fr?LAYERS=pe_15m&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&FORMAT=image/gif&STYLES=&HEIGHT=300&VERSION=1.1.1&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=400&BBOX=-80.9516220735786,44.92,-57.1183779264214,62.78&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage";
 -o temp.gif

Notice the "-o" option for output (and as Tom notes, the quotation marks).

But since you download cUrl, it really doesn't test the libcurl installation 
that comes with mapserver.  My thought was that it may be having trouble 
loading some dll it needed or something certificate-related...

Just made some tests today with a black/white ECW image covering the whole of 
Finland with 1 m pixel size, image size about 120 by 50 pixels.  Debug 
log shows about 0.15 seconds rendering time at any output image size with png 
output to WMS. At least with this image the speed would be enough for us.  I 
know from earlier experience that server is slower with colour ECW imagery and 
jpeg or png24 output but that is not a surprise.  But we are not going to 
acquire extra ECW licensies and yearly fees so obviously we are going to go on 
with geotiffs.

Re: [mapserver-users] Is using ECW format allowed or not?

[Gregor Mosheh]

1. Can we use our compressed ECW images as input for MapServer WMS?
2. Can we use ECW as an output format for MapServer WCS?


The license agreement says that the ECW SDK cannot be used "on a server" 
then goes on to define that as a computer connected to the Internet 
which provides images. I'd say that clearly rules out MapServer 
consuming ECW. Very unfortunate, but in my opinion very clear.


In my tests, I have found that JPEG2000 and ECW are really too slow for 
production use anyway. Maybe that's some "sour grapes" consolation? :)

[mapserver-users] Re: Missing row of pixels in MapServer generated tiles

[Roger André]

Nope, that's not it.  Had the correct params in that entry after all:

<900913> +proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0
+y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m [EMAIL PROTECTED] +no_defs

This matches documentation at
http://spatialreference.org/ref/user/google-projection/

Reprojected my data file with gdalwarp to epsg 900913, then updated the
mapfile to reflect that input layer is in that projection and tested.  Got
rid of the missing rixel rows at the bottom of tiles, but now the image only
extends between 80 to -80 latitude, and there is a weird, scalloped seam at
the international dateline.  So something is still not right, but it would
appear that it's projection related.

RE: [mapserver-users] Spatial Query problem with ODBC layer

[Emerson, Gabe]

Hi all,

My issue with ODBC queries has been resolved. I needed a consistent
unique identifier in the SQL table, otherwise Mapserver just returned
the records in the order they appeared in the table. 

The OVF File also needed the identifier column specified as FID:

P_Recno

Thanks,

-Gabe

Subject: [mapserver-users] Spatial Query problem with ODBC layer

I recently switched one of my layers from a static shapefile to an ODBC
SQL connection. The data points are correctly displayed on the map, but
when I use the "query" or "nquery" modes, I get results that don't
correspond at all to the clicked point. I tend to get the same set of
points, in various orders, none of which are anywhere near eachother and
all outside the tolerance of the query. 

I'm assuming the problem is projection related, but I'm stumped as to
how to fix it. Do I need a  entry in my OVF file? I left it
out since it was causing problems, and I read that it was unnecessary if
a projection is defined in the layer. If  is needed, how
should I use it? I tried setting it to WGS84 and NAD83, both caused my
points to float in the Caribbean. I've seen EPSG codes used in example
OVF files, but I got an error when I tried that.

Here's my ODBC layer:

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS don't load

[Steve . Toutant]

and I'm running out of faith... :-)

Yep I still get the curl error code 6. I asked my system admin to grant 
full access to everyone...same result.

Brent just sent me a hint. I'll try it
Thanks for your ideas.

Objet: Re: [mapserver-users] Access control for wms served from mapserver cgi

Hello Rahkonen (and Stephan),

This is an idea that I could make work...I'd have to lock-down mapserv 
itself from all connections (otherwise anyone could just replace 
wms*.exe in the URL with the original mapserv.exe), though I guess I 
should be doing that anyway.

In response to Stephan Holl: I recognize there are other strategies that 
involve proxying the WMS requests.  I was just hoping for something 
quick and easy that could be done with Apache more or less 
out-of-the-box using basic config files and/or modules like mod_rewrite. 
  There have been a few cases where I needed to use mapserver on one 
machine to serve data using WMS to another server running mapserver as a 
WMS client.  I just want to be able to do that with as little work as 
possible (i.e., if I can do it in Apache's config, then I can do it 
anywhere).

Essentially, my ideal solution would be if I can get something like 
mod_rewrite to say "if a request to mapserv contains 
'map=/path/to/somefile.map' in the query string, and the client is not 
equal to some IP address, return 403, otherwise allow the request".  I 
just don't quite know how to get mod_rewrite to work like that for me (I 
found some promising examples online, but couldn't get them working).

Thanks again,
Mike

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS don't load

[Brent Fraser]

Steve,

 Perhaps running a http sniffer (such as HTTPLook) would help track down the 
problem?

Or maybe not.  The fact that the URL works interactively using shp2img or a browser but not from a service implies that the problem might be related to the permissions of the account Apache/Mapserver/Curl is running under.  Does that account have permission to access to the needed files and temporary directories?  


And the fact that curl seems to be generating a error is interesting.  You 
could try executing the url using curl from the commandline to see if curl will 
give more error information.

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS don't load

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Steve,

I'm starting to run out of ideas... do you still get Curl error code 6 
in all cases? Perhaps double-check and make sure that the directory 
specified in your IMAGEPATH parameter exists and is writable by the web 
user... this directory is used to temporarily store the image received 
from the remote WMS server before it is included in the final output.

[MAPSERVER-USERS] Single Template getfeatureinfo query

[Tellett]

Hello all,

I've been trying to apply the single template idea (using a template driver
in an OUTPUTFORMAT) to a getfeatureinfo request,but with no joy at all.
Looking at it, I guess for it to work it would need some of the source code
to be added to, or altered. In the RFC 36 Steve Lime suggested:

maptemplate.c: Write a new single template processing function similar to
msReturnQuery() in that same source file, something like
msReturnSingleTemplateQuery().

And:

mapserv.c: Add code at the end of the query processing switch statement to
look at the value of web->queryformat. If it references an existing output
format by name then use the file the format points to with
msReturnSingleTemplateQuery(), otherwise process as currently done.

Do you know if these changes have been made? I tried looking at the
ms-rfc.txt files in the beta source files but couldn't find ms-rfc36.txt
referenced.
I'm using the beta MS4W binary but I presume this is compiled from the
latest beta source code. 

If the above changes have been made then I guess it should be possible to
simply add QUERYFORMAT 'kml' (or xml etc, whatever the OUTPUTFORMAT 'name'
is) under the Web obj, use qformat instead of info_format in the url call
and the template referenced under the relevant OUTPUTFORMAT should be used.
This does not seem to be happening at present however. 

One other quick question, do I still need to reference a template (be it
blank or whatever) in my layer obj's to make the layer queryable or is it
now possible to use the QUERYABLE TRUE idea? I'm presuming I still need to
reference a template as I've tried this and simply get a parsing error.

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm going round in circles on this one!

Cheers

Tom

[mapserver-users] Is using ECW format allowed or not?

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I know that I can use ECW format with MapServer both as input and
output. What I cannot figure out is if I am allowed to do so. Reading
the document "ECW/JP2 CODEC SDK End-User License Agreement" that I found
from the still existing ER Mapper download page does not help me a bit.
We can create however big ECW images for local use because we have ER
Mapper image compressor license, but how about using ECW with MapServer?

1. Can we use our compressed ECW images as input for MapServer WMS?
2. Can we use ECW as an output format for MapServer WCS?

Hello list,

Does anyone on this list know of a simple strategy for 
configuring Apache to restrict access to specific mapfiles 
served as WMS through the cgi mapserv program?  I'd like to 
do is restrict access to specific IPs for URLs like the following:

It's easy enough to limit access to the mapserv executable

Thank you very much, Tamas.
getFeature works fine now.

But can I ask you for one more favour. Could you compile with fastcgi
support (ideally with all ms4w production release flags) or share 'your
working buildkit' (this just will be great!, not only for me) because I
still have problems with compiling ms4w(( but I need sql2008 support feature
as soon as it possible for my work. I would be very appreciate.

Hi,

If it is easy to limit access to mapserv executable, then how about making a 
few copies of the executable and tie each copy to its own mapfile in httpd.conf?

SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/wms1.exe?" MS_MAPFILE=d:/ms4w/apps/wms1.map
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/wms2.exe?" MS_MAPFILE=d:/ms4w/apps/wms2.map

I am not sure if this is what you need, but we use a simple security
proxy inbetween[1] which filters the mapfile based on a given username
who is doing WMS/WFS requests. Desktop-GIS can be used with
InteProxy[2], if they do not have the ability to aquire user/pwd by
itself.

But perhaps this is too much for you?!

Best

Stephan
