give it fake directories as if you are using MS4W, then edit the mapfile it generates and substitute your linux paths... percy On 4/28/2009 1:43 PM, Paul Alarcon wrote: Helllo is me again, i tried it but it ask me for a installed mapserver on windows and i use a linux server for mapserver, there is another software for make it for linux server ? ___ -- David Percy Geospatial Data Manager Geology Department Portland State University http://gisgeek.pdx.edu 503-725-3373 ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] missing symbol file on mapserver.org
There's a broken link on http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/construction.html The symbol file which is referenced throughout the document is missing: http://www.mapmedia.de/dokumente/umn_signaturen_howto/vortrag_demo.zip Arnulf appears to be on travel, so I thought I'd toss it out here. I could use some better polygon fills, and some of those look pretty good! :-) Thanks, Percy -- David Percy Geospatial Data Manager Geology Department Portland State University http://gisgeek.pdx.edu 503-725-3373 ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS raster display, getfeatureinfo from vectorlayer
Bruce, thanks for the suggestion. That might work, and I might try it at some point, but I need this to work across all clients, and what I've noticed is that even if have layers named the same thing, each instance shows up in the list of available layers to the client. Then if the user selects the unobtrusive layer to turn on, they won't see anything, and if they choose the one that has the raster, it won't be queryable! I think either the WxS wrapper or a mod_rewrite are my two potential short term solutions. I'd be delighted to hear otherwise :-) Cheers, Percy Bruce Cheney wrote: Just a couple of thoughts - shouldn't your type be Polygon if you are referring to your polygon shapefile? Then make the symbology for this layer nonintrusive (so the users don't see it). I believe your query will reference the NAME item to obtain specific feature information.

Re: [mapserver-users] National basemap data - WMS service
You might be able to get what you need from the USGS' National Map http://nationalmap.gov/ Depends on what scale you need... Cheers, Percy Bruce Cheney wrote: I have been trying to hunt down a good US national basemap to use through mapserver, preferably a WMS service (unless there is a better option). Alternatively I am also looking to put together our own national basemap to use. I assume some of you have already been down this road so maybe can help. Here is where I have made it so far but I am struggling to find the good solution. Google, Yahoo, etc would require an annual fee (not cheap) to connect to their data (because parts of our site would make money even if it is not the maps). I am still trying to find out if they will give permission to connect as a WMS service. From this user group I get the impression that that might not happen. If we couldn't use WMS then we would have to connect through something like openlayers (still requiring the annual fee from the provider). If we try to create our own basemap, so far TIGER looks like it has the most accurate roads, water features, etc. But the data all is chunked out by the county. That could get hairy to put together in one and troublesome to load the proper layers if left separate. Not to mention the size might require a small server farm. Is there a better WMS connection we could use? Is there a better basemap option? Is there a way to connect to OpenStreetMap (I couldn't find one)? Will I have hair left when I solve this problem? Thanks all for any help you can give. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users -- David Percy Geospatial Data Manager Geology Department Portland State University http://gisgeek.pdx.edu 503-725-3373 ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
