[mapserver-users] Serving Shapefiles via NFS, Protocol Version?
I'm looking to put our map data on a storage device using NFS. I'm curious if there are any NFS settings to tweak for best performance and if I should be using NFSv3 or NFSv4? - Tim Timothy J Nolte - tno...@ilpcs.com Network Planning Engineer iPCS Wireless, Inc. 4717 Broadmoor Ave, Suite G Kentwood, MI 49512 Office: 616-656-5163 PCS:616-706-2438 Fax:616-554-6484 Web: www.ipcswirelessinc.com ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] mapserver or MS4W package on Windows x64
I started working with the x64 binaries from Tamas' site at http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx. MSVC2005 (Win64) seemed most appropriate for me. However, I did not see php mapscript support. Is that true? I did see mapscript for java, python, and csharp. Can php mapscript run at all with x64 versions of Apache/PHP and/or Mapserver? If not, then I'll have to give up x64 or PHP. Bummer. I've also been reading that I should run Mapserver in fastcgi mode, in either Win32 or Win64 versions. Does that mean to use PHP mapscript that I need to run PHP in cgi/fastcgi mode and NOT as an apache module? Thanks for any advice. It's a bit confusing. - John ** John Callahan, Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware URL: http://www.dgs.udel.edu ** John Callahan wrote: I have an existing server running x64 Windows Server 2008.

At the start, I'll be using Mapserver for viewing of basic WMS services, nothing fancy. Not too far in the future though, I'll be using PHP or Python mapscript code, and/or implementing a package like GeoMoose. My data will be shapefiles, PostGIs features, and a few raster formats. Any suggestions on where I should start with setting up my server?

[mapserver-users] An example of GeoPDF output (not from Mapserver... yet)
This post likely belongs in Geowanking (http://geowanking.org), but since we're getting close to releasing Mapserver with Cairo/PDF, I thought I'd stir the pot. The Canadian federal government's mapping department released a new rendered map product CanTopo (http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/collection/detail.do?id=37505) last week. So far they've only released about 50 of a possible 13,000 1:50k map sheets. Some interesting points: - The PDF info is vector (not simply a scanned map stuffed into a PDF) - they are GeoPDFs (if you use Acrobat Reader on Windows there will be a dynamic Lat/Lon/MGRS readout) - the info is organized onto layers you can switch on/off - the map is based on their CanVec GIS data (http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/product/search.do?id=28954) but the feature name label placement must have been done by hand! You can download them from the .ca link above, but here's one I've made available on my server: http://139.142.13.163/Download/Mapserver/092b12_0601_geo.pdf It will be interesting to see how close we can get to similar output with Mapserver 6.0...

Re: [mapserver-users] mapserver or MS4W package on Windows x64

I think if libphp could be compiled for x64 then it wouldn't be a problem to compile php mapscript against it. I'll give it a try this weekend if I have enough time. I've also been reading that I should run Mapserver in fastcgi mode, in either Win32 or Win64 versions. Does that mean to use PHP mapscript that I need to run PHP in cgi/fastcgi mode and NOT as an apache module? I think that's not a strong requirement, you could either use fastcgi and cgi equally well, however fastcgi will perform better.

RE: [mapserver-users] Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Hi Suman, Check your web.config file- You probably have an entry similar to: appSettings add key=mapfile value=C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\...addison.map/ . In your code you want to create the mapfile object by reading the mapfile path from web.config. So what you need to do is: mapObj map= new mapObj(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[mapfile].toSt ring()) (or whatever the variable in the web.config is called) You don't really want to use a constant to point to the mapfile...

[mapserver-users] GetCapabilities response being truncated
This seems to be a strange problem... I can generate maps fine through the browser and mode=map. However, responses to GetCapabilities requests are being truncated. They are being truncated to 4053 characters. I've tried this using two separate map files, using different data, both WMS 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 versions, and the same result every time. I found some references to old posts but they didn't seem to apply here. My data in each map file is just one shapefile. My map file symbology is also very simple; it's listed below. When run from the command line (mapserv QUERY_STRING=map=...REQUEST=GetCapabilities), it works perfectly. I'm using the x64 stable build from http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx (MSVC2005 Win64) Apache 2.2.10 and PHP 5.2.5 (x64 versions) if that matters. I just don't know what's going on. Sounds like a problem with my server setup. Has anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions on what I can check?

Re: [mapserver-users] GetCapabilities response being truncated
Update: I should rephrase my statements... When run from the command line, c:\apache2.2\cgi-bin\mapserv QUERY_STRING=map=...REQUEST=GetCapabilities only works when output is to the screen. When directing the output to a file, like c:\apache2.2\cgi-bin\mapserv QUERY_STRING=map=...REQUEST=GetCapabilities geomap.xml, then the output is again truncated. The limit is not 4053 characters but rather 4096 characters. At least the number makes more sense. Using MapServer 5.4.1, x64 in Windows 2008 Server.
