Re: [mapserver-users] PGeo (Personal Geodatabases) options under Linux
not that this answers the problem... but is there any reason this cannot be exported to a shapefile and then served with mapserver? - Original Message From: Chuck Jungmann ch...@cpjj.net To: Stephen Woodbridge wood...@swoodbridge.com Cc: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Sent: Fri, November 27, 2009 5:17:03 PM Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] PGeo (Personal Geodatabases) options under Linux I've read that page several times.

[mapserver-users] map_web_template
Greetings, I have one mapfile and use many template files to read from the mapfile. In Mapserver 4, I could use templatepattern '.*' in the mapfile, and from an html form send a variable like this; input type='hidden' name='map_web_template' value='/topo/topo1.htm' In Mapserver 5 it doesn't seem to work ( loadWeb(): Unknown identifier ). Is it possible to pass the name of an HTML template in Mapserver 5 using an HTML form? And if it is, then how? Thanks Lee ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

I think you would have to do that on a Windows box because the MDBTools on Linux is just not up to the task. If you could export it on Linux then you could also probably serve it directly via mapserver and ogr. -Steve W - Original Message From: Chuck Jungmann ch...@cpjj.net To: Stephen Woodbridge wood...@swoodbridge.com Cc: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Sent: Fri, November 27, 2009 5:17:03 PM Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] PGeo (Personal Geodatabases) options under Linux I've read that page several times.
