[mapserver-users] MapCache - tiles stored with no transparency
Hi, I just started playing with MapCache so this could be a pretty newbie question... I have a layer with transparency set, but my tiles, as I can see in filesystem, are stored with no transparency. When using mapcache wms demo, I get correct/transparent images but only after first getting non transparent ones. So this doesn't look very fine (non transparent image that gets blurred). I probably missed something in my configuration, but I don't know what because I set PNG format everywhere in mapcache.xml :-( Any hint that could help me (btw, I am using the newest MapServer/MapCache)? Thx very much regards, dejan ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

STATUS DEFAULT forces the layer to by on regardless. STATUS ON allows the laye to be turned on/off and in your request you need to supply a list of layers to tuen on by name. shp2img ... -l my_layer1 my_layer_1 or in CGI layers=all... layers=my_layer1+my_layer2... -Steve On 6/2/2014 4:10 PM, Stefanos Anastasiou wrote: Thanks Bobb One more thing...

I literally copied and pasted the coordinates to the EXTENT parameter and it worked. Thank you very much..!! :-) I though that the mapfile would only read coordinates that are in Long/Lat format in WGS84. My coords were x,y format in Greek grid (EGSA '87 - EPSG 2100). So I thought I could only import them in Lon/Lat. Thanks a lot! -Stefanos Στις 7:07 μ.μ.

[mapserver-users] Ubuntu 14.04 and Mapserver 6.4.1-2
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 with no visible issues.

It no longer works in mapserver 6.4.1-2 in Ubuntu 14.04. Now I get the error message mapserv(): Web application error. Parameter 'qstring' value fails to validate. msValidateParameter(): Regular expression error. Parameter pattern validation failed. None of my underlying data or map files have changed. I'm completely mystified as to why this is happening.

Re: [mapserver-users] Ubuntu 14.04 and Mapserver 6.4.1-2
The difference is MapServer version, not Ubuntu. You *must* define a validation pattern (a regex) for qstring values. In either the web or layer block (depending on your app) you'd do something like: VALIDATION 'qstring' '^\/ESD-[0-9]*\/i$' END Depends on what sort of values you might see of course. It looks worse than it is because you want to escape (I think) a few special characters. Hope this helps.

Re: [mapserver-users] What is the default coordinate system used in MapServer (if no projection is defined)?
MapServer has no default, it's just uses a simple Cartesian coordinate system. HOWEVER, the CGI does have some hooks that tries to auto-detect lat/lon coordinates and automatically convert them to what's set in the MAP's projection block. I believe that only kicks in if there is a projection block defined. How'd you trigger the message?

All, So I was trying to just display some data without a coordinate system assigned. And I ended up eventually getting a LAT/LON (out of range) error. Once I set the projection in the MAP block to something resembling a XY projection, all was well. I suspect that LAT/LON is the default? Is there a way to do something other than what I did to use simple Cartesian coordinates?

Re: [mapserver-users] What is the default coordinate system used in MapServer (if no projection is defined)?
I had an extent of 0 0 360 120 (units inches, 10ftx30ft) Anyway, I think I tried zooming in to 50 50 80 80 and the 80 values seem to have been the problem. I can send the actual link tomorrow if you want I have it in browser cache at the other desk. I set the Map projection to 4326 and it all works fine. Must be the two 80s without one being a negative as you described. And yes I was using a CGI.

[mapserver-users] Is there a max SIZE value for a LABEL block??
All, I think I've run into this in the past, but . . . Is there a limit on the SIZE value in LABEL block? I seem to be hitting a wall at anything over 250 bobb ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
