Re: [mapserver-users] KML generation-partially working
Hi Michael, I see your point. But, the images itself are blank. So making the paths absolute has no difference. When the output format is png, I get all the layers rendered correctly. But when the Output format is set to KML only, the image outputs from each layer are coming blank :(. So any inputs regarding this? Has anyone else ran in to the same situation?

Re: [mapserver-users] KML generation-partially working
You said So I have an image corresponding to this symbol in ms_tmp. Do you actually have a valid png image at /ms_tmp/502a9927_2bc4_10.png? The way KML output works is that the temp symbol images are generated and the the kml is written and the kml refers to those images. If the images are, in fact, valid, then its a path problem as I suggested earlier and the IMAGEURL is not absolute and pointing to your IMAGEPATH directory location. If the there is no file in /ms_tmp then its probably more of a permission or space problem. You should be able to see exactly whats happening with LAYER and MAP level debugging. See http://mapserver.org/optimization/debugging.html and set the DEBUG level to 5.

Re: [mapserver-users] KML generation-partially working
If you have the image properly generating, then is just a matter of your mapping the image to the URL used in the KML. So your IMAGEURL value should return images from the /ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp directory. And it should be an absolute URL (eg http://servername/path/to/tmp) and you should verify that http://servername/path/to/tmp/502b8cc1_1e28_10.png is accessible from your browser. If so, then the KML will be able to access it and you should be all set. -- Michael Smith US Army Corps Remote Sensing GIS/Center ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] KML generation-partially working
Sorry, I'm getting a little confused. Are you generating ground overlay layers (eg one raster output for a number of layers) or actual KML features (eg, Placemarks with a geometry and an style marker)? If you are posting the KML to google maps, then the KML is public. Can you post the link to the KML so the list can actually see it and see what might be wrong. As for why your lidar layer might be blank, remember that KML output is always in epsg:4326. Perhaps you don't have a projection defined for your lidar layer and do for others.

Re: [mapserver-users] KML generation-partially working
Hi Michael, Sorry for the confusion. I think it was the problem with the projections. I had the output projections set to 3578- which was for Google maps. Now, I changed it to espg:4326 and my KML came out exactly as expected. Thank you very much for all your help. If not for you , I am sure I couldn't have got this working. Thanks again and appreciate your help and patience.

[mapserver-users] KML generation
Hi,
I know this would be a very basic question. I tried to look around on the
web and in the previous lists emails. But, somehow I could not get a
solution. Sorry for bothering evryone with this basic question.
I am trying get a KML output from my mapserver. I was succesfull in
getting a png output which means all my layers are being rendered correctly.
Now I modified my mapfile . I removed the IMAGETYPE = png from the MAP
Section and added the following:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME kml
DRIVER KML
MIMETYPE
application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml
IMAGEMODE RGB
EXTENSION kml
FORMATOPTION 'ATTACHMENT=lidar.kml' #name of
kml file returned - This is my line 308
FORMATOPTION maxfeaturestodraw=100
END
Now when I try to query the mapserver in mode=map, I am getting a parsing
error.
getString(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near ('):(line 308).
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Sowmya.
