Re: [mapserver-users] Remote MapFile

[Mark Korver]

This method is specific to Amazon EC2, but there is a gist located here
https://gist.github.com/mwkorver/1ef45abac3871360f2b1
that is an example of how to deploy a cluster of Mapservers using a remote
map file AND data. Both map file and source geotiffs are accessed via HTTP
because they both sit on S3.
The user-data script will install a few things including Yas3fs to run a
Dockerized Mapserver image behind Nginx. Yas3fs is what mounts the S3
buckets in RO mode on the filesystem.
The Dockerfile located here - https://github.com/mwkorver/mapserver
is the source for the image referenced in the user-data script. Even if you
don't care for Docker it useful as an install script for Mapserver on
Ubuntu if you are looking to use Nginx.
One problem I still have not fixed is that on reboot, Mapserver does not
restart. Everything else comes back up. If someone could let me know how to
fix that I would appreciate it.

You could possibly make a SLD work with a WMS request, depending on what you 
need the mapfile to do.

Re: [mapserver-users] Remote MapFile

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Marco,

As Thomas mentioned, you'll have to use a different way.  If you're 
using MS4W you can use PHP MapScript to pass your mapfile to your PHP 
script, and then use CURL commands (already included as a PHP extension 
in MS4W) to download the remote mapfile locally to your server.


Something like: 
http://localhost/myapp/index.php?map=http://remotemachine/mymap.map


There are good examples of how to use CURL for this at: 
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

[mapserver-users] Remote MapFile

[Marco Afonso]

Hi all,

It is possible to get a remote mapfile instead from a local path in the
cgi-variable?

For example, instead of:
http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/local/path/mymap.map

Something like:
http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=http://remotemachine/mymap.map

Thank you!
