Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer and 24bit Images
Hi, You should try to give more exact description about your problem. By reading several mails which you have sent to MS4W list I believe that you are still talking about the same images. That is 3-band, 8 bits per band images stored into database as PostGIS raster and which you have tried to classify into classes with something like this CLASS # beginning of the class parameter NAME Very Low EXPRESSION ([pixel] 0 AND [pixel] 47) STYLE COLOR 243 231 172 END # end style for class END # end class for class very Low I had a try with some png file I found from my machine by using this in the mapfile LAYER NAME classified DATA C:\ms4w\apps\data\800.png debug 10 TYPE RASTER STATUS ON PROJECTION init=epsg:3067 END CLASS NAME test EXPRESSION ([pixel] 100 AND [pixel] 250) # EXPRESSION ([red] 100 AND [green] 100 AND [blue] 100) STYLE COLOR 0 255 0 END END END Both expressions work so Mapserver does support classification of 3-band, 8 bits per band png images. Try you to convert your raster from the database into image file and repeat your test. It if works from a file but not from PostGIS raster then you know that the issue is somewhere in PostGIS raster handling. -Jukka Rahkonen- -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver- users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] Puolesta Lime, Steve D (DNR) Lähetetty: 4. joulukuuta 2012 21:26 Vastaanottaja: Saint; mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer and 24bit Images I display true-color imagery all the time.

You could write a onClick handler that takes a zoom value, sets a hidden
variable called zoom and submits the form.
function doZoom(zoom) {
// set value of zoom hidden variable
// submit the form
}
input type=hidden name=zoom value=set programmatically

Hello,
Is there a way to perform a zoom with input instead of select or radio?
I used to do that with the following code but it's not working anymore on
recent versions of Firefox:
input type=image name=zoom src=dezoom.png value=-2 / input type=image name=zoom
src=zoom.png value=2 /
Thank you,

Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer and 24bit Images
Jukka, Strange. When I reviewed the source code it looked like Mapserver would refused to classify any 24/32 bit image; I must have missed something. So I tried your mapfile with shp2img v6.0.0 on a 24bit image and it worked! Then I added PROCESSING BANDS=1,2,3 and it *crashed*. Turning on debugging showed: msLoadMap(): 0.000s msDrawMap(): rendering using outputformat named png24 (AGG/PNG). msDrawMap(): WMS/WFS set-up and query, 0.000s msDrawRasterLayerLow(classified): entering. msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): Entering transform. msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): src=0,0,5300,5430, dst=107,0,585,599 msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): source raster PL (-6.077,-4.533) for dst PL (107,0). msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): red,green,blue,alpha bands = *1,2,3,0* drawGDAL(): Unable to access file. Attempt to classify 24bit image, this is unsupported. msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'classified'. *crash* Without the PROCESSING directive, I get: msLoadMap(): 0.000s msDrawMap(): rendering using outputformat named png24 (AGG/PNG). msDrawMap(): WMS/WFS set-up and query, 0.000s msDrawRasterLayerLow(classified): entering. msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): Entering transform. msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): src=0,0,5300,5430, dst=107,0,585,599 msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): source raster PL (-6.077,-4.533) for dst PL (107,0). msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): red,green,blue,alpha bands = *1,0,0,0* msDrawMap(): Layer 0 (classified), 0.187s msDrawMap(): Drawing Label Cache, 0.000s msDrawMap() total time: 0.187s msSaveImage(test.png) total time: 0.125s msFreeMap(): freeing map at 00BBC4A8. freeLayer(): freeing layer at 00BBF9B0. shp2img total time: 0.312s The line msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): red,green,blue,alpha bands = *1,0,0,0* implies that GDAL may be using only band one to do the classification, but maybe not (more testing required?). Removing the EXPRESSION object shows msDrawRasterLayerGDAL(): red,green,blue,alpha bands = 1,2,3,0 And I do get a 24 bit image for output (as expected). FYI, here's my mapfile: MAP NAME 'classified' STATUS ON EXTENT -5009377.086 10752549.183 392.653 15885200.067 SIZE 800 600 IMAGETYPE png24 OUTPUTFORMAT # Parameter Output NAME png24 DRIVER AGG/PNG MIMETYPE image/png EXTENSION PNG IMAGEMODE RGBA TRANSPARENT ON END # end of parameter Output LAYER NAME classified DATA Arctic_terra.250m.tif DEBUG 5 TYPE raster STATUS default #PROCESSING NODATA=0 #PROCESSING SCALE=AUTO #PROCESSING BANDS=1,2,3 #PROCESSING DITHER=YES CLASS NAME test #EXPRESSION ([pixel] 100 AND [pixel] 250) EXPRESSION ([red] 100 AND [green] 100 AND [blue] 100) STYLE COLOR 0 255 0 END #Style END # Class END # Layer END # Map Best Regards, Brent Fraser On 12/5/2012 2:27 AM, Rahkonen Jukka wrote: Hi, You should try to give more exact description about your problem.

[mapserver-users] Mapserver useful for ordinary sites or not?
Hi guys After a lot of effort to use CGI mapserver in my own site and finally leaving hope to find a solution, i came here to ask whether maserver is useful just for dedicated servers or VPSs really? I (and as it sounds, most of users) have just bought some space from a host provider (i.e Linux) with a CGI-bin directory which as my host provider says is able to run CGI applications written in perl and C/C++. I have searched a lot but as it appears no one has been successful to run CGI mapserver in its CGI-bin folder. Am i right? CGI mapserver is useful just when shell access is available? Should i switch to Mapscript? Or maybe, buy a windows host with CGI capability? Your help would nicely be appreciated. I'm really got stuck and confused.

I put that executable file to cgi-bin and call it via address bar but no success, just 500 Internal Server Error. (I know mapserver has some dependencies but in spite of that it everything was right it should display a nice error) Contacting with guys in host provider, they pointed me to http://mapserver.org/installation/unix.html#installation and finally told me there is no shell access to run this commands. I'm familiar with structure of mapserver cause of working with MS4W in my own computer. In addition, i've checked CGI-bin directory by running some perl script and everything is O.K. They really provide CGI capability. Now, i don't know what can i do more. (I'm not familiar with Linux, although i know what running a shell command means.

It is probably failing because of missing dependency. Try this from the command line: /path/to/cgi-bin/mapserver -v This will give a more useful error message you can read. That said, extracting the binary and copying it to the cgi-bin is not going to work in most cases because the whole point of package systems like rpm it to find and install the dependencies. What version of linux is installed on your host? There is probably a one line command that we can give you to install mapserver the correct way. -Steve W On 12/5/2012 1:16 PM, Saka Royban wrote: Thanks for your answer After lots of try, i found that i can extract mapserver binary from rpm using 7zip. I put that executable file to cgi-bin and call it via address bar but no success, just 500 Internal Server Error. (I know mapserver has some dependencies but in spite of that it everything was right it should display a nice error) Contacting with guys in host provider, they pointed me to http://mapserver.org/installation/unix.html#installation and finally told me there is no shell access to run this commands. I'm familiar with structure of mapserver cause of working with MS4W in my own computer. In addition, i've checked CGI-bin directory by running some perl script and everything is O.K. They really provide CGI capability. Now, i don't know what can i do more. (I'm not familiar with Linux, although i know what running a shell command means. I've been around computer since DOS age) Thanks in advance for helpful advices.

I (and as it sounds, most of users) have just bought some space from a host provider (i.e Linux) with a CGI-bin directory which as my host provider says is able to run CGI applications written in perl and C/C++. I have searched a lot but as it appears no one has been successful to run CGI mapserver in its CGI-bin folder. Am i right? You are not right. MapServer is surprisingly easy to set up and get working, at least for basic and mid-complexity use cases. CGI mapserver is useful just when shell access is available? Should i switch to Mapscript? Or maybe, buy a windows host with CGI capability? Unless you figure out what you are doing wrong, you can't set it right. Why don't you post your issues here in detail (how you are setting things up, have you followed the tutorial, etc.) along with the errors you are getting (general description as well as specific error messages. I am sure one of us will be able to help you. Your help would nicely be appreciated. I'm really got stuck and confused. Yup, frustration is a common feeling when things don't work, but really, no need

As you travel down this path don't be afraid to update the MapServer wiki with your findings (https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-Hosting-Providers). (you can put howtos, advice, add more providers, remove outdateddo anything you want on that page) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 12-12-05 3:20 PM, Saka Royban wrote: Thanks Does windows version of mapserver need installation or copying mapserv.exe plus those files is sufficient (for a windows host)? ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
