RE: [mapserver-users] Mapserver + regex license
I'm hoping someone with experience in this area can chime in. It's a convoluted subject for sure. MapServer doesn't contain code from any regex library, it uses an API that a few regex libs support so you can actually compile against others.

MapServer doesn't contain code from any regex library, it uses an API that a few regex libs support so you can actually compile against others. Steve Steve / Josef, First, as Steve suggests the issue only arises if you build with the GPL'ed regex 0.12. Second, requirements for redistribution of source in the GPLv2 only apply if you distribute MapServer binaries to clients or users (as opposed to putting up a service on your own servers that outsiders use). Third, the redistribution of source requirements is normally considered to only apply to code linked into the executable. While this is a bit of a grey area, it would not normally apply to the PHP/Python/Perl scripts using the mapscript api. So you are likely in the clear.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver + regex license
I don't see any issues I guess in the docs we could point folks to the PCRE implementation as well as the GNU one http://vcs.pcre.org/viewvc/code/trunk/pcreposix.h?view=markup PCRE's license is BSD Norman On Jan 18, 2012, at 10:54 AM, Lime, Steve D (DNR) wrote: I'm hoping someone with experience in this area can chime in.

[mapserver-users] Resolved: Mapserver install - Mac OS X and safari
Thanks again to everyone who provided input. The gist of the problem was related to a conflict between the version of apache I had installed and the version which is shipped with OS X. Listed below are the steps I followed to eliminate the problem: 1. Completely uninstall the apache version shipped with OS X; 2. Ran 'find' to search for http occurrences on the filesystem: find / -name '*http*' -print; 3. Deleted the following file to stop OS X from starting apache automatically: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist 4. Start apache manually with 'apachectl' /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start 5. Access the mapserver URL as follows: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv 6. Success - the following was displayed by Safari: No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty. 7. Let the fun begin! Although I'm not sure which of the steps above actually fixed the problem, I believe it was steps 1 and 3 which were the critical parts of the solution. Take care, Mike Badar # # Original post. # Thanks, everyone. With /etc/hosts set to: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost and accessing the URL: http://localhost.com/cgi-bin/mapserv I get the error: # safari can't open the page http://localhost.com/cgi-bin/mapserv; because the server # unexpectedly dropped the connection. and when the URL is accessed this way (leaving /etc/hosts as shown above): http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv I get the error: Not Found The requested URL /cgi-bin/mapserv was not found on this server. At this point I'm 90% sure the problem lies between safari and apache. Maybe it's time for a reference manual on apache. Does anyone have any titles they would like to recommend? Mike Greetings, New user to the list. I am installing mapserver on my MacBook Pro. The installation has progressed without error until I attempt to call the 'mapserv' cgi executable from safari; it returns the following error after running the final check as described in the documentation: # Page 40, MapServer Documentation, Release 6.0.1; 4.1.8 Installation - The basic install. # This is the final test to ensure mapserver is installed and functioning correctly. # When attempting to access the test URL, safari returns the following error: # Test URL: http://localhost.com/cgi-bin/mapserv # Safari error: # safari can't open the page http://localhost.com/cgi-bin/mapserv; because the server # unexpectedly dropped the connection. Mapserver version: 6.0.1 Mac OS X version: 10.6.8 Safari version: 5.1.2 My suspicion is the error is related to how mapserver and apache are communicating; however, not being apache literate, I don't know where to begin diagnosing the connection problem. I ran a syntax check on the httpd.conf file and it returned the following: Michael-Badars-MacBook-Pro:bin bobby$ apachectl -t httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using Michael-Badars-MacBook-Pro.local for ServerName Syntax OK Michael-Badars-MacBook-Pro:bin bobby$ Listed below are details regarding my installation.

All you had to do was to go to System Preferences.. and turn off web sharing. If you really wanted to do it the difficult way, you could have done a `launchctl unload` (http://ss64.com/osx/launchctl.html) 4.

[mapserver-users] 16 bit PNG or 16 bit jpeg output
Hello, I am trying to output a single band 16bit png (or jpeg) output from a Mapserver WCS service. I have tried the following output formats: OUTPUTFORMAT NAME jpeg DRIVER GDAL/JPEG MIMETYPE image/jpeg IMAGEMODE INT16 EXTENSION jpg FORMATOPTION QUALITY=85 END OUTPUTFORMAT NAME GDALPNG DRIVER GDAL/PNG MIMETYPE image/png IMAGEMODE INT16 EXTENSION png FORMATOPTION FILENAME=result.png END When I try different IMAGEMODEs, I get the correct results, but for some reason, INT16 does not work. I looked through the mailing list and I noticed that this question has been asked before: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/16-Bit-PNG-Output-td6249725.html http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Using-a-16-bit-per-band-PNG-image-td2490088.html I tried looking for a ticket in Trac, but I had no luck. Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps I could accomplish this somehow with a custom gdal driver? Also, a side question, if I wanted to make sure the replies from my WCS getcoverage calls were not multipart (I am just interested in the binary output), is there some mapserver-specific setting I can use to just get that image as a reply instead of the accompanying xml files?
