Hi List, I had some trouble with getting correct character encoding to work with MapServer and with german Umlauten (ÄÜÖ and ß). For a PostGIS layer I got it fixed setting the permanent variable 'client encoding' to LATIN1 does the trick ;) The db otherwise is utf8 , the system german locale

Hi, Validation is nowadays needed in quite a many places in a mapfile. However, we who live outside the English speaking world tend to have more characters in the alphabet than A to Z. This makes the mapfile validation idea only half effective because for making things to work at all with the

Dear Frank, dear all, thanks for your reply. I think I have narrowed down the problem and it isn't really a mapserver issue - the 8bit paletted img gets rendered to a 4bit-per-pixel png whereas the correctly transparent RGB img gets rendered to an 8bit-per-pixel png. Seems that the Google Earth

Hi, Without doing any reading I would suggest first to try what happens if you rename the world files into .wld. Another thing is that you should not really use jpeg images. Use jpeg compresses tiff files instead. Read http://gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html Remember -co COMPRESS=JPEG and -co

Hi, Jpeg file format is not good for a typical geospatial use when a little arbitrary piece of a big image should be opened and showed. I forgot one tiff creation option, use -co TILED=YES That way you can create a tiff image file which is internally organised as tiles which are fast to fetch

Great answer from Jukka, just adding abit. With jpg you have to have a world file. One work-around to that is to use tiff or more specifically Gtif/geotif which internally contains the world file/projection info so doesn't need a external world file. As Jukka explains the gtif way is better
