[mapserver-users] Asking for guidelines about a project
Hi all. Strictly Speaking, i have a project that i should display some moving objects on a map via browser. Generally, i don't know how to start? i mean how should i save these time-based objects in DB and how to retrieve and display them via Mapserver? where should i use client side scripting like OpneLayers? Any help woudbe greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Re: [mapserver-users] Where is the use of map_resolution documented?
Dear Jukka, It is in RFC55 and mentioned in the symbol construction document, but it should of course be documented with MAP. If this is not to be kept a secret, I think a documentation ticket would be a good idea.

Re: [mapserver-users] how to get start with mapserver
Sila, While the tutorial is fairly good, it implies that you should install ms4w into C:\Program Files\Mapserver\ms4w. Instead, I would recommend installing ms4w into the default location of C:\ms4w, at least while you are getting familiar with mapserver and ms4w. Once you've done that, you can access the installed ms4w demo apps with: http://localhost/index.phtml Best Regards, Brent Fraser On 6/14/2011 12:49 AM, Sila Khan wrote: Dear mapserver users I have followed the steps for mapserver at windows XP given in the following link http://www.gistutor.com/mapserver/3-beginner-mapserver-tutorials/7-how-to-generate-a-simple-map-using-mapserver-and-a-shapefile.html but still m unable to get map, when i click startmap.html a very small image apears at upper left corner and output directory shows empty image . plz help me to know where i m wrong Thanks ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

[mapserver-users] Advice for a new server for a huge data set.
Hello, I have recently discovered MapServer and I wanted to get some advice about setting up a new WMS. I have a data set that is several terabytes in size that I'd like to serve. As just a trial, I want to start with a single raster layer. Is there an example of a MapServer setup that I can look at that only serves raster images in the form of individual tiles? The raster examples I have seen use a single image that MS apparently slices up on demand, but no such single image for my data exists (it's far too big). What is the recommended approach? I could write a script that can generate the images on demand from the raw data - can these be passed to mapserv? I can also pre-generate tiles of the whole data set. If I want to implement a zoom, presumably I'd generate multiple sets of these at different scales? Would each zoom level be a new layer? I'm sure I'll have lots more questions, but this should start me on the right path!

Re: [mapserver-users] Advice for a new server for a huge data set.
Demitri, You will want to build yourself a tile system (there are a number of tools for this) with an attached index of the tiles. You'll need to build a set of tiles for each level of zoom (pixel scales) that you will be using in the map interface drill down. With the right indexing of tiles, and proper tile building, you can serve up just about an unlimited size raster dataset. MapServer includes some utilities to build a tile set as does GDAL/OGR. Do a search on the keywords Mapserver, tiles and index, and that should get you close to what you are looking for. bobb 06/14/11 10:10 PM Hello, I have recently discovered MapServer and I wanted to get some advice about setting up a new WMS.
