[Jeff McKenna via MapServer-users]

Hi all!

A short update that all of the MapServer services (OGC services, 
MapCache, MapServer, etc.) have been upgraded on the demo server: 
https://demo.mapserver.org


Wishing everyone a productive week,

Re: [MapServer-users] Mapserver 8 , PHP map script cannot print image

[Jeff McKenna via MapServer-users]

Hi Vassilis,

You are missing after the draw() the following:

  //send image to stdout (browser), without saving file locally
  echo $oImage ->getBytes();

I also prefer to set the header right before that getBytes() call.

For a full working example, you can use the quickmap.php file that is 
included in MS4W (see /ms4w/Apache/htdocs/quickmap.php) from 
https://ms4w.com



Hope that helps,

-jeff

Dear all,

We are using Mapserver 8.0.1 with PHP and the php_mapscriptng extension.

I am having a hard time outputting the image to the browser.

In the following code snippet, saving to disk works but 
mapscript.imageObj.write does not output the image in the browser.


header('Content-type: image/png');

$oImg=$oMap->draw();

$oImg->save("/tmp/mswms.png");

$oImg->write();

Do you have a working PHP example of 
https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript-api/stub/mapscript.imageObj.html#mapscript.imageObj.write <https://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript-api/stub/mapscript.imageObj.html#mapscript.imageObj.write>?


Or is there another way of showing the image in the browser?

Best regards,

Vassilis

So CMAKE is still missing the php include directories. What is de

After I copied php_mapscriptng.so to the correct location and filling in

It takes much time to do this for each library.

In my case, for PHPNG support, my CMake command includes:

In your case I am not sure, but, I would start by examining

Maybe you can find the PHPNG section in your cmake command output, and

CMAKE ends with the message:  "Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!", without giving the precise

Re: [MapServer-users] Cluster with Oracle Spatial data

[Jeff McKenna via MapServer-users]

Hi Ivan,

I believe this should work with any database or OGR connection (I think 
my initial tests, for the docs, were with an OGR/KML connection, but I 
remember testing SpatiaLite later as well for cluster).


(I'll see if I can test this with Oracle, but, it may take me a while to 
setup, so someone else might have to jump in & help you here)

But when I change the datasource to “ CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial “ and

Does anyone know the reason for this behaviour and how can I get the

Re: [MapServer-users] PHPNG Mapscript Support for PHP 8.1.x

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Nicol,

PHPNG MapScript fully supports both PHP 8.2.x and PHP 8.1.x, in fact, 
for the big MapServer 8.0 release push, a big effort was spent on 
enabling PHPUnit tests for these PHP versions - meaning that when a 
commit or pull request is made to the MapServer repository, tests are 
automatically run against both PHP 8.2 and PHP 8.1, to make sure that 
MapScript is operating smoothly.


(for the next MapServer 8.2.0 release I am planning on creating a 
document containing all of these supported versions)


For Windows users, the upcoming MS4W release will contain PHP 8.2.7 
MapScript.


Hope that helps,

-jeff

Re: [MapServer-users] FW: Unable to build mapserver 8 on WIndows with v8 support

[Jeff McKenna]

My answer still applies, for any version of MapServer.  Maybe you could 
add build tests to the MapServer repository, so that it shows your 
errors (and then V8 is tested for every commit automagically, against 
all platforms).


To summarize: it just needs a champion, like yourself, to get this 
moving again inside the MapServer core.

I can do a PR if that would be acceptable ?

Maybe the commit could be adjusted in Mapserver 7. Out of curiosity,
what is the use case for zero sized labels and symbols? To disable
them, or? About the angle, by the Mapserver 7.0 documentation,
doesn’t it feel like negative angles were not thought to work ever?


“Angle, given in degrees, to rotate the symbol (counter clockwise).
Default is 0 (no rotation). If you have an attribute that specifies
angles in a clockwise direction (compass direction), you have to
adjust the angle attribute values before they reach MapServer
(360-ANGLE), as it is not possible to use a mathematical expression
for ANGLE.”

broke a lot of things, 

like style angles not supporting negative values anymore or label

Im not against changes, but changes should be: 

a) documented 

b) announced with preferably a deprecation period

Re: [MapServer-users] msWMSDispatch(): WMS server error. WMS request not enabled. Check wms/ows_enable_request settings.

[Jeff McKenna]

Yes, first get your mapfile image working with map2img, then move to 
GetCapabilities request, remove warnings from it, then try a GetMap 
request.  (this are always my steps, when creating mapfiles)


An empty map image usually means that MapServer is drawing from the 
MAP-level extent that you set, but you may have the source projection 
(at the layer-level) incorrect.

Hi Jeremy,

I would run ogrinfo on that table to see what field to use for your 
CLASSITEM, such as:


ogrinfo PG:"user=postgres password=postgres dbname=mdm6data 
host=mxsig-db port=5432" tutoiral.states_ugl_imported -summary


(your timing is good as the tutorial was recently updated for MapServer 8 )

Re: [MapServer-users] Building mapserver on AlmaLinux with Oracle

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Rob,

Does your issue occur with CMake 3.26.3 also?  (I "have that t-shirt", 
where I struggle with getting CMake to find libs and then upgrading 
CMake solves it)  Worth a try at least.

Hello All,

The end goal is to have mapserver compiled with both Oracle and PostGIS 
for AlmaLinux 9.1 (Lime Lynx).


The package in EPEL+CRB has mapserver minus oracle.

Note, this is the first time building with cmake. I have most 
likely made some rookie mistakes.


However, I feel the library names are slightly different e.g. 
Debian/Ubunut vs RHEL naming conventions.


For instance the protobuf packages is installed:
/usr/lib64/libprotobuf-c.so.1
/usr/lib64/libprotobuf-c.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64/libprotobuf.so.25
/usr/lib64/libprotobuf.so.25.0.0

The prefix pathi is:

  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/lib64:/usr/local/pgsql:/usr/local:/opt

But I get an error as seen below:

   PROTOBUFC library/component/dependency could not be found.

     HINTS:
     - disable PROTOBUFC support by adding -DWITH_PROTOBUFC=0
     - add the PROTOBUFC install directory to the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH 
variable 
(-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/PROTOBUFC-install-dir;/path/to/other/dirs"

Call Stack (most recent call first):
   CMakeLists.txt:339 (report_optional_not_found)

Any help would be appreciated,

[MapServer-users] Happy birthday to MapServer

[Jeff McKenna]

Happy 23rd birthday wishes to the whole MapServer project, as the first 
available commit in the repository was made back on 2000-04-11 (see the 
commit here 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/commit/abe3c7aca45618c67750c3b421824f8e853cdfc0 
) for the 3.3 release.  The project history of course goes back to 1994.


Thank-you to all of the contributors and users and promoters, over all 
of these decades.


happy mapserv-ing!

Yes my apologies Just, I've been upgrading the server.  It should be

Hope you had a nice Easter.

Hi,

In the pygeoapi CI on GitHub we experience suddenly an error in the OGR

has to do with HTTP/2 on a Ubuntu 20.04 system.


Error is like:
"Failure, Msg: HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR 
(err 1)"


I can trigger the same error with curl on a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (used by 
the GH CI)


  curl -v  https://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wfs

* TLSv1.3 (IN), TLS handshake, Newsession Ticket (4):

* Connection #0 to host demo.mapserver.org left intact

Forcing HTTP 1.1 gets rid of the error:

curl -v  --http1.1 https://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wfs

So it doesn't seem pygeoapi nor GDAL-related. Looks more like this 
(Apache) problem:

Re: [MapServer-users] Changing opacity of one layer in a multilayer WMS request URL with MapServer 8

Wonderful to hear that you are using the MapServer.pdf!  (I actually put 
much effort into maintaining that PDF output, that but I never hear 
feedback...until someone reports a problem, like you did now, ha). 
Sometimes my updates differ from website rebuilds, will be sure to 
update the PDF for the upcoming 8.0.1 release.


Again, thanks for this report!

(also, don't be afraid to report doc issues like this at

Hello all!

With MapServer 8, I'm wondering what the proper way to change the 
opacity of a single layer in a multilayer WMS request is.


For example, the following URL excerpt shows the old way of 
accomplishing this that worked while using MapServer 7:


SERVICE=WMS=1.3.0=GetMap=image%2Fpng=test_a,test_b[test_b]=OPACITY+50

My understanding is that this would have the same effect as adding 
"OPACITY 50" to the test_b layer in the mapfile. The mapfile containing 
test_a and test_b did not have OPACITY included when they were written. 
Obviously, this no longer works with MapServer 8, and now that request 
has the same results as omitting the "[test_b]=OPACITY+50" 
portion entirely.


Based on https://mapserver.org/fr/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html 
<https://mapserver.org/fr/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html>, I see that OPACITY now 
belongs inside a COMPOSITE object. I tried the following modifications 
to the request URL:


SERVICE=WMS=1.3.0=GetMap=image%2Fpng=test_a,test_b[test_b].composite=OPACITY+50
SERVICE=WMS=1.3.0=GetMap=image%2Fpng=test_a,test_b[test_b].composite[0]=OPACITY+50

I also tried this both with the mapfile left as-is, and with an empty 
COMPOSITE object being included in each layer object, and each time I 
got the same unsuccessful result as before.


Is there a way to accomplish this in MapServer 8?

Also, does this map.layer[layername]=... syntax still work in MapServer 
8? The documentation at 
https://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html#using-mapserver-version-8 
<https://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html#using-mapserver-version-8> 
suggests it might no longer work for MapServer 8 (based on the heading 
"Using MapServer version < 8"), but the documentation at 
https://mapserver.org/pdf/MapServer.pdf 
<https://mapserver.org/pdf/MapServer.pdf> shows the same examples with 
the heading "Using MapServer version <= 8" on page 1065 of the PDF, so 
I'm unsure if this is still intended to work in MapServer 8.


Thank you,
Matt

I would take QGIS out of the equation, as recent MapServer does not have 
a layer limit, see my instructions to test the exact QGIS requests in 
your browser instead, at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/Get-the-Raw-WMS-Request-Generated-by-QGIS

Re: [MapServer-users] Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) with MapServer?

[Jeff McKenna]

For several years now, every MS4W installation comes with a working CSW 
endpoint out-of-the-box (through pycsw : https://pycsw.org/ , which is a 
lightweight Python implementation).  At some point soon MS4W will also 
serve OGC API Records (the equivalent of CSW) through pygeoapi ( 
https://pygeoapi.io/ ), which is definitely worth your time to examine 
as well.


Hope that helps,

Hi,

I'm struggling a bit with Mapserver (8.0.0) + PROJ (9.1.0) getting it to 
use the right transformation (RDTRANS2018) rules.


I have a (Docker) environment with
- PROJ 9.1.0
- GDAL 3.5.2
- Mapserver 8.0.0 (branch-8-0)

When I run cs2cs (PROJ) the output is correct (in order words what I 
expect) going from EPSG:28992 -> EPSG:4258.
With PROJ_DEBUG on I can verify that is calling the right tif 
(nl_nsgi_rdtrans2018.tif in this case)
Moving up the chain by using GDAL (ogr2ogr GPKG EPSG:28992 -> GPKG 
EPSG:4258) I get the same correct result.


But putting it all together with Mapserver I'm not seeing the same 
result and I'm getting results +100m from where they should be.
The strange thing is when I use EPSG:25831 (ETRS89 / UTM zone 31N, in 
meters) instead of EPSG:4258 (ETRS89, degree) the results are correctly 
translated. (also using the nl_nsgi_rdtrans2018.tif when called with cs2cs)


Mapserver also seems to use the correct PROJ 9.1.0, when I alter 
PROJ_DATA or remove the proj.db it says it's missing them.
Also using different data sources like GPKG, FGB, and so on doesn't seem 
to change this behaviour.


Does anyone know what could be causing this or advice on how to further 
investigate the issue?

Wouter

Re: [MapServer-users] readGIF error meaning ?

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello JC,

If you are using MS4W, you can test a GetLegendGraphic request by using 
the local demo WMS service that comes with every MS4W install, 
out-of-the-box, such as:


https://ms4w.dev/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps/local-demo/local.map=WMS=1.1.1=getlegendgraphic=countries=image/png

(you should be able to modify the url above for 127.0.0.1/ instead)

If that works locally for you, just follow the local-demo.map, for your 
own mapfile.

I strongly encourage you to edit and enhance that page, make 
corrections, and/or create new wiki pages and share them here, to record 
your steps so that others can learn from your journey.


(you can then add your new pages to the "Tips, Tricks, Howtos" section

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your response. It was indeed helpful and gave me something to 
try out. However, when I try those lines of code, this is what it says:


Looking for PCRE2 tarball...

ls: pcre2-*.tar*: No such file or directory

Could not find tarball matching pattern: pcre2-*.tar*

zsh: no such file or directory: ./configure

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.Stop.


Are there any other lines that I need to include with those? The first 
few run just fine (although I needed to replace 'wget' with 'curl'). And 
does this replace the use of the Github clone for MapServer 8.0? Or is 
this supposed to be setup in conjunction with MapServer 8.0?


Thanks again for your help,

with PHP 8

Hi BG,

Thanks for starting this discussion here, as many other readers will
help & learn from your situation; I first want to wish you a warm
welcome from the MapServer community :)

As Seth mentioned, I spent a lot of effort setting up the automated PHP
8 + MapServer 8 builds "on the cloud", and some of those steps can be
used by you directly.

But to step back a bit, first thing to mention is that PHP 8 with
MapServer 8 is best handled through the SWIG library "master" branch,
and this is likely one of your issues (the Homebrew formula you are
using for SWIG is probably SWIG 4.0.x, and you need the upcoming 4.1.0
release, or build its master branch from source).

Regarding the SWIG 4.1.0 upcoming release (and its heavy demand), see my
call for help at
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2022-September/016881.html 
<https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2022-September/016881.html>

Regarding you possibly compiling SWIG 'master' branch, you can follow my
exact steps to do this on these lines:
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/main/ci/travis/before_install.sh#L38-L47 
<https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/main/ci/travis/before_install.sh#L38-L47>
(maybe other Mac devs can update those steps here in this discussion
thread for you)

I personally think all this will take some time before all packagers
catch up to these changes, to make it smooth for their users.  In this
case some time is required before the next SWIG can be released, and
then propagated to all those FOSS4G packages that we love.

Its for this exact reason that I have put almost my entire career into
MS4W, to prevent users from facing these same build challenges (and
there are many challenges, ha).

I'm not sure that I've helped with this response, other than giving you
some background info.

Don't be discouraged, you will indeed fall in love with MapServer :)

Thanks,

-jeff

Good morning,

I have been trying to build the MapServer 8.0 release using PHP 8. I am 
a new user having only been working with MapServer for just a couple of 
months, please forgive me I don't ask questions in the appropriate way.


I have seen posts on the Github referring to the new release as 
supporting PHP 8 as mentioned here: 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/6430 
<https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/6430>**and here: 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues/6632 
<https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues/6632>. However, I fail to 
see a post mentioning the steps of what I need to change in the build 
process. My process is as follows: I install Homebrew and then install 
the dependencies -- httpd php@8.0 cmake pkg-config swig fcgi gd gdal 
geos giflib postgresql proj protobuf-c proj@7. After this I clone 
MapServer from Github and checkout rel-8-0-0. Next, I run cmake with the 
following options:


cmake ..  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK=LAST 
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -Wno-dev -DWITH_CLIENT_WFS=ON 
-DWITH_CLIENT_WMS=ON -DWITH_CURL=ON -DWITH_FCGI=ON -DWITH_FRIBIDI=OFF 
-DWITH_GDAL=ON -DWITH_GEOS=ON -DWITH_HARFBUZZ=OFF -DWITH_KML=ON 
-DWITH_OGR=ON -DWITH_POSTGIS=ON -DWITH_PROJ=ON -DWITH_PYTHON=OFF 
-DWITH_SOS=ON -DWITH_WFS=ON -WITH_CAIRO=ON -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON 
-DWITH_PHPNG=ON -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql"


And then make. However, make fails with errors referring to bindings 
needing PHP 7. The error log is listed below:



https://pastebin.com/99xWFcpE <https://pastebin.com/99xWFcpE>


Clearly, I must be missing something or doing something wrong during the 
build process since others have stated that version 8.0.0 works with PHP 
8. Could anyone be so kind to point out my error so that I could get 
this to work? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver 8, PHP 8 and Mapscript

[Jeff McKenna]

I should also add here, as you mention PHP 8: I did much effort recently 
to upgrade the continuous build systems (TravisCI, GitHub action) so 
that various PHP versions are now tested for PHPNG MapScript, including 
PHP 8.1.x, and re-enabled PHPUnit tests that test each MapScript object, 
every time a pull request or commit is made to the project repository. 
(you can find those tests inside /msautotest/php/ and follow the README 
there)


More tests are warmly welcomed of course! :)

Thanks,

-jeff

Re: [mapserver-users] External WMS issue

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi John,

There is a long-standing issue on Windows systems where environment 
variables are not able to be accessed, by the FOSS4G software stack.  To 
work around this for MS4W users, I set that CURL_CA_BUNDLE manually all 
throughout the MS4W stack, instead of through an environment variable. 
(the upcoming MapServer 8 release will include a config file where we 
can also set this instead)  I also set CURL_CA_BUNDLE in MS4W's Apache 
http server.  All of those manual sets have basically eliminated the 
hundreds of reports I'd get weekly of that variable not being read, from 
MS4W users.


Hope that helps (this issue is not discussed often publicly, but trust 
me, it unfortunately exists).

Re: [mapserver-users] Screen is square blank square window

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Jeremy,

I would start always with making sure that your mapfile generates a 
valid map image, through the commandline with shp2img (or map2img with 
MapServer 8), see https://mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html  Such as:


  shp2img -m mdm61vectorCaribe.map -o ttt.png -all_debug 3

Make sure your boundaries layer appears nicely in your map image, and 
then once you have that ready, move onto your application request or WMS 
GetMap testing, etc.


PS. be careful with your EPSG:900913 use, as this is long deprecated (in 
most FOSS4G software now) as EPSG:3857 is recommended instead.  Read 
more about this at https://mapserver.org/mapfile/projection.html  But 
don't worry about the fun projection issues yet, start with 
shp2img/map2img first.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver projection, auto and extent

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Trygve,

You can examine the problem QGIS GetMap request closely, through the 
Network Logger (it's really a saviour) 
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/Get-the-Raw-WMS-Request-Generated-by-QGIS


Then you can go back to review the trusty WMS Server document, and make 
sure you have set the required metadata: 
https://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html


(which also means to remove all warnings from your GetCapabilities response)

But that QGIS network logger is your lifeline :)

Hope that gets you started,

PS. I never use 'auto', ever, never, it's my own rule and that's how I 
keep my sanity and avoid these issues, ha.  But others like it.  I only 
speak for myself here.

Hi

I got a geotiff raster with a projection which is not an EPSG code, so 
in the mapfile I use AUTO in the layer projection. This also means I 
skip the extent and projection in map level in the mapfile. In one 
client this works fine ( this client request epsg:3857 and this looks 
fine to me)


But in QGIS, this does not work nor any other projections.

Then I add EXTENT and PROJECTION in my mapfile like this:
MAP

   EXTENT -56.6378419 31.5007307 95.025531 84.6828537
   PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:4326"
   END

END

And then EPSG:4326 works in QGIS also. But if I try to change the 
projection i qgis, eg to EPSG:3857, this does not work in QGIS, even if 
it still work in my other client.


So what is it that I don't understand about EXTENT and PROJECTION. I 
have looked at the documentation 
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/projection.html#important-notes and and as 
far as I can understand from the second bullet point the projection 
definition at map level can be looked as the outgoing projection with 
the extent accordingly.


What do I need to do to make QGIS be able to use other projections as well?

I do have a link to my getcapabilities document, but hesitates to put it 
here.

Re: [mapserver-users] HTML Template legend

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Marie,

I have just updated the official demo server today, and made sure that 
the various services (including the popular HTML Legend demo) work with 
the upcoming MapServer8 code:


 - demo home: https://demo.mapserver.org/
 - HTML Legend demo: https://demo.mapserver.org/itasca_legend/

The legend demo should give you some working examples to play with. (the 
interface may be old but the basic information & code shown there is 
very useful)


(I have been recently asked to share this demo through the default MS4W 
install for all users, which I will be sure to do)


Let me know if that helps or you need anything else, and thanks for this 
nudge ha!


Thanks,

-jeff

[mapserver-users] FlatGeoBuf access (and WFS output) steps in MapServer

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi all,

I've spent some effort to document how to enable the optimized 
FlatGeobuf (FGB) format for vectors in MapServer, for both 
reading/access as well as steps to output FGB through WFS (you could 
also use these same steps for WMS GetFeatureInfo output of FGB as well): 
 https://mapserver.org/input/vector/flatgeobuf.html


The user community might be interested also in some performance testing 
that I've done with FlatGeobuf with MapServer (hardcore developers might 
question my exact methods, but for general users these results should be 
interesting).  I've added the results as a note in the Vector 
Optimization document ( https://mapserver.org/optimization/vector.html )


I used shp2img/map2img to test the map drawing speed for a few popular 
vector formats (note that these are averaged times, and are not done on 
a cold connection), with the latest MapServer 8.0-dev code on Windows 
through MS4W:


  Shapefile  0.011s
  FlatGeobuf 0.014s
  GeoPackage 0.042s
  SpatiaLite 0.045s
  PostGIS0.053s
  GeoJSON0.089s

The point is not to cause controversy or start analyzing my simple 
testing methods, but instead to generally show how optimized FlatGeobuf 
is for rendering (and filtering) in MapServer, and that we should all be 
considering this format for sharing vectors through our MapServer services.


Thanks,

-jeff

Re: [mapserver-users] dynamic ows_serviceurl

[Jeff McKenna]

This is exactly why PHP MapScript has been so popular for so long 
("wrappers" of OGC services) and why so many examples of this exists in 
the MapServer documentation.  Honestly though, someday I also hope for a 
more direct way to handle these dynamic changes, but until then, 
#mapscriptrocks :)

commit here 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/commit/abe3c7aca45618c67750c3b421824f8e853cdfc0 
) for the 3.3 release.  The project history of course goes back to 1994.


Thank-you to all of the contributors and users and promoters, over all 
of these decades.


happy mapserv-ing!

Also, instead of the "-map_debug 3" option with shp2img, try "-all_debug 
5" (use "3" if you just want to show the draw speed times)


The goal would be to output the exact query that MapServer is trying to 
execute against your database, and then try running that query at the 
psql commandline.


And, if all else fails, be sure to retry all of this with a build of 
today's MapServer "main" branch, and try with map2img.

Hi all,

I'm getting "Floating point exception" error running shp2img, also
running with the debug option I don't get any other information.
The mapfile read data from PostGIS database, and If I use the same
mapfile with different database with the same tables I don't get this
error, so I think the problem is in the data but I don't know
where/what investigate

thanks in advance

Re: [mapserver-users] Issue - Style constantly changes using Mapserver 7.6

You can also play with the various PROCESSING directives for raster 
layers to see if that helps:

Hi,

I am currently using GDAL 3.1.3 and Mapserver 7.6.2 on a Ubuntu machine. 
I created a layer using a GRIB2 file as the source data.


When I tested the layer on QGIS 3.20, I noticed that it does not output 
correctly. When I’m zooming or moving the viewing extent to visualize 
the layer or data, the style constantly changes. I tested with WMS 
GetMap requests through a browser and the output issue is still there. 
See example GIF here: https://pasteboard.co/wAmyAUDyEeZs.gif 
<https://pasteboard.co/wAmyAUDyEeZs.gif>


I validated the different classes (CLASS) in the style used in the 
mapfile and everything seems to be in order. From what I understand, 
Mapserver seems to do some interpolation, but I can’t quite understand 
how it affects the output on that scale. I investigated and checked if 
the source file was the issue, but from what I see it doesn’t seem like 
it’s the case, as I tested with other data from another source file in 
NetCDF, and the issue is still there.


I created a test case to show you the issue here:

·Sample mapfile: https://pastebin.com/KC3UkR4m 
<https://pastebin.com/KC3UkR4m>


·GRIB2 Source file (available here: 
https://dd.weather.gc.ca/model_hrdps/continental/grib2/00/001/ 
<https://dd.weather.gc.ca/model_hrdps/continental/grib2/00/001/>) for 
the source data (using following patterns) : 
/CMC_hrdps_continental_PTYPE_SFC_0_ps2.5km_*.grib2/


Do you have an idea what could be the issue or how the interpolation 
works, and how to solve this issue?


Thanks a lot in advance for your answer(s)!

Hi Rich,

Good catch, if you file a ticket for this in the docs repository I will 
tackle: https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer-documentation/issues


(for Windows users, MS4W includes the MVT demo, but you make a good

this for the MS4W 5.0-final release: https://ms4w.com/trac/ticket/369 )

[mapserver-users] Reminder: Please add your site (or OGC services) to the MapServer Gallery

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi everyone!

Short story: please add your MapServer site or MapServer data services 
to the wiki page at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-Site-Gallery


Background:

A few years ago a new MapServer user reminded us that we need working 
examples of applications (and MapServer-driven OGC/WMS/WFS/OWS services) 
listed on our map gallery. Please take a minute to add your site and 
specs (respecting the syntax and alphabetical order) at:

https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-Site-Gallery

It has become a great resource! Please take a moment to make sure that 
your MapServer-driven site or OGC services are listed there, especially 
as we are getting closer to the big MapServer 8.0 release. So help show 
the powers of MapServer!!


Thanks for making the MapServer community a vibrant place,

[mapserver-users] Call for more listed Service Providers

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi everyone,

Short story:

Please add your company to the list of MapServer service providers, if 
you handle this type of work (see the related ticket at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer-documentation/pull/674 )


Longer explanation:

It's time to give an update to the MapServer Service Providers page ( 
https://mapserver.org/community/service_providers.html ), as this helps 
provide an important resource for the community, for those looking for 
professional help.  The page lists professional service providers by 
Core Contributors, Contributors, and Other Service Providers; you can 
read about the background on these sections in the related RFC 
https://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-116.html


Please let me know if you would like to add your company.  You may wish 
to mention your addition in the related pull request for this at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer-documentation/pull/674


I'll leave this ticket open for 10 business days, to hopefully give 
others a chance to add their company.


Thanks for making the MapServer community a vibrant place,

-jeff

Re: [mapserver-users] MapFile DATA CONNECTION

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi James,

I've definitely been in your shoes before with these major Postgres 
upgrades.  Although not specific to your problem, here are some of my 
first steps to verify in battling these types of issues:


- always set PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER" on each PG layer

- always set EXTENT and "wms_extent" on each PG layer

- after the Postgres upgrade, execute on your restored database through 
psql :


  SELECT postgis_extensions_upgrade();

- possibly remove any need for a reprojection in your requests, and 
re-test without


- set various CONFIG settings to turn on debugging (see 
https://mapserver.org/optimization/debugging.html )


Those are some quick thoughts here, without any food in my stomach 
before dinner, ha.

Hi folks,

We are in the process of upgrading our Open Source Web Mapping Stack 
(ex. MapServer, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, OpenLayers).  However, we have run 
into an issue with performance when switching from our manually compiled 
9.6 PostgreSQL version / PostGIS 2.4 to PostgreSQL 13 / PostGIS 3.x (yum 
install & config).  The rendering and map interaction is very slow.  We 
are have tuned the database based on our previous configuration and new 
documentation for PostgreSQL.  Yet performance is still suffering.


The database seems to be function as expected.  We are tracking the 
requests and responses from the database.  Over 90% of the requests are 
being handled in under 1 second.  However, the one thing I did notice is 
the amount of queries to obtain the postgis version.  Why is this extra 
query/connection being sent?  Seems a bit too much.


Anyway, and help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[mapserver-users] Announcing MS4W 5.0-beta2

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi everyone,

A beta2 is now available, containing only the change in PROJ, that was 
first caught by Sven.  Thanks to all of the fast feedback from everyone. 
 https://ms4w.com/release/experimental/ms4w_5.0.0_beta2.zip


I also took the time to create a Migration Guide draft on the wiki ( 
https://ms4w.com/trac/wiki/MigrationGuide5.x ), containing sections on:

  - REQUIREMENTS.txt
  - ms4w.conf
  - PHP MapScript
  - Python MapScript
  - PROJ
  - Removed mapfile parameters
  - map2img

Please help adding to it by editing the wiki page directly.

Wishing a safe and healthy Christmas holiday to all.

Thank-you for using MS4W.

Re: [mapserver-users] How to Turn off a Layer when other specific Layer is ON in a map file ?

[Jeff McKenna]

Ah!  Boy this was tricky to get working.  In my tests, it is the logical 
operators AND and OR that are not working, with MapServer 8.0-dev (I 
tested mode=map, map2img/shp2img, WMS GetMap, and PHP MapScript).  But 
the great news is that something like the following works well, in all 
modes :


 LAYER
   ..
   REQUIRES "![yourlayername]"
 END


   not working: REQUIRES "![yourlayername] OR ![someotherlayername]"

I'll add these notes to the docs today...   Thanks for the nudge on this 
Carlos!

[mapserver-users] searching the list archives

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi all,

As most of you know, Nabble.com has been unreliable, so here are some 
updated ways to search the MapServer list archives:


- mapserver-users: 
https://www.mail-archive.com/mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org/


(or https://marc.info/?l=mapserver-users )

- mapserver-dev: https://marc.info/?l=mapserver-dev

(I've begun the process to enable mail-archive.com for the dev list:

Re: [mapserver-users] Getting started with mapcache for WMTS...

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Carl,

I forgot to mention that to keep an eye on the MS4W wiki also, that 
users sometimes post tips etc.  In this case I remember a user asking 
how to configure MS4W + MapCache + WMTS + OpenLayers, so I created the 
wiki page at https://ms4w.com/trac/wiki/MapCacheOpenLayers 
(edits/updates welcomed, as it is indeed a 'wiki' and depends on your 
updates as new software versions etc often change those steps)


As you travel down this page you could also create a wiki page and share 
your tips (or pitfalls) for other users: 
https://ms4w.com/trac#AdditionalNotesTips


Have a nice week,

-jeff

Hi Carl,

You can also find those same local MapCache configuration steps for MS4W 
online at https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#mapcache-apache-module 
(but I'm very glad to see you following the steps in your local README, 
great!)  Thanks again for the positive feedback for MS4W.


PS.  someone asked recently the same question about the mailing list 
search, here was my response:



I just use Google search to query the archives:
   - goto https://google.ca
   - in the search box enter: 
site:lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/ yoursearchterm


This may not always contain the latest archives (depending on the speed 
of Google-mothership bots), but I find it very helpful.

Hi Carl,

First, welcome to the MapServer community!

Thanks for the detailed question, and pointing to the source data, this 
always helps to give a proper answer.


You've done well and are very close.  Here are some points to consider:

- the OGC specification for serving raw raster data is actually WCS 
(which MapServer does well, see https://mapserver.org/ogc/wcs_server.html )


- but you're right that a cool trick is to use the (more) popular WMS 
specification and set an OUTPUTFORMAT in your server's mapfile, to 
generate a GeoTIFF through a WMS GetMap request.


- I see that you've already setup an OUTPUTFORMAT such as:

OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME "GEOTIFF_16"
   DRIVER "GDAL/GTiff"
   MIMETYPE "image/tiff"
   IMAGEMODE INT16
   EXTENSION "tif"
END

- now the trick is to call that specific outputformat.  I recommend 
always testing this at the commandline first, with shp2img (which will 
be renamed to 'map2img' shortly, for the MapServer 8.0 release).  It 
takes a mapfile and generates an output (or gives exact error).


- since you are using MS4W, just open a CMD window and cd into /ms4w. 
Then execute 'setenv.bat' to set necessary paths.  Then, in that same 
windows, cd to where your mapfile is, and execute the following (notice 
the "-i" switch, which requests the named outputformat set in the 
mapfile) :


   shp2img -m local.map -o ttt16.tif -map_debug 3 -i GEOTIFF_16

- that command should return a draw speed for each layer, and generate 
your 16-bit GeoTIFF.  And look closely at that response, the first words 
will be something like:


    rendering using outputformat named GEOTIFF_16 (GDAL/GTiff)

Great! That's what we want.

- once you're satisfied, now we can turn to WMS requests.  But always 
first start with removing any "WARNING" messages in your GetCapabilities 
request, and then also verifying that the  section of that 
response includes a listed "image/tiff" format option.  (example 
GetCapabilities request) :



http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/ticket-wms-gebco-outputformat/local.map=WMS=1.3.0=GetCapabilities 



- once you're happy with the GetCapabilities response, then you can try 
a GetMap request, that includes "=image/tiff"




http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/ticket-wms-gebco-outputformat/local.map=WMS=1.3.0=GetMap=-90,-180,90,180=EPSG:4326=346=173=gebco==image/tiff=96_RESOLUTION=96_OPTIONS=dpi:96=TRUE 



- or you can stay right there at your commandline, and make that GetMap 
request there with the "mapserv -nh QUERY_STRING="" trick, and pipe that 
to a new image file, such as:


   mapserv -nh 
QUERY_STRING="map=/ms4w/apps/ticket-wms-gebco-outputformat/local.map=WMS=1.3.0=GetMap=-90,-180,90,180=EPSG:4326=346=173=gebco==image/tiff=96_RESOLUTION=96_OPTIONS=dpi:96=TRUE" 
 > getmap.tif


Hope that helps.

Also thanks for the positive feedback on MS4W, its goal is to serve big 
data fast for organizations, on enterprise Windows servers, and it 
sounds like it has met your needs well.  Look for a big MS4W release 
soon ;)


And a happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving holiday to you.

Hi,

I'm new to mapserver but fairly experienced with GDAL.  I hope that 
someone can explain where I've gone wrong with setting up WMS.


I followed the instructions here 
[https://worldwind.earth/elevation-server.html 
<https://worldwind.earth/elevation-server.html>] almost exactly to set 
up a WMS server and it sort of works.  (I am using MS4W actually, so I 
didn't install Apache & Mapserver as that page described and of course I 
made a few other adaptations for Windows.)


I downloaded the GEBCO tiles from here 
[https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/ 
<https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/>] 
without any problems.


What I don't understand is that while the GEBCO GeoTIFF files that I am 
using have one band that gdalinfo describes as


  Band 1 Block=512x512 Type=Int16, ColorInterp=Gray

when I look at the WMS bands using gdalinfo, I see three byte-sized bands:

Band 1 Block=1024x1024 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Red
Band 2 Block=1024x1024 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Green

I'd really like to get 16-bit integer elevations from my WMS server but 
I don't know why this didn't just happen or how I mis-configured things 
to make it not happen.


I know these are not complete details, but rather than write a novel for 
my first post here, I'm hoping someone can suggest where the problem 
might be or suggest some further documentation to read.


Thanks very much,

[mapserver-users] updated 8.0 release plan

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi all!

The MapServer project steering committee met yesterday online, to mainly 
discuss the upcoming 8.0 release.  Here is a summary of the updated plans:


8.0 plan:

 * Feature freeze: Fri. September 17, 2021
 * 8.0-beta: Fri. September 24, 2021
 * 8.0-rc1: Fri. October 1, 2021
 * 8.0 (final): Fri. October 8, 2021

Of course the wiki has a detailed list of the major items for 8.0 : 
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-8.0-Release-Plan


Or you can also follow the exact tickets through the 8.0 milestone on 
GitHub: https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/milestone/54


Please join in and help with the 8.0 release by however you can 
(testing, feedback/ideas, coding, documentation).  If you notice a 
ticket that you want included please give it a polite 'nudge' or 'bump' 
on GitHub, we want to hear from you, your feedback is important.  And 
remember to always include a short test case (data, mapfile, 
commands.txt) for your ticket report - this saves everyone time & 
energy.  Thanks!

Re: [mapserver-users] Asking help

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello Boubacar,

If you are using MS4W (https://ms4w.com) you already magically have PHP 
MapScript and Python MapScript installed locally: you can follow these 
instructions for each:


 - PHP MapScript https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#php
 - Python MapScript https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#python

 (Java & Csharp MapScript are also installed, and described in that 
same document)



Thank-you for using MS4W.

Hi Boubacar,

Please make sure that your "MAP=" path is correct (you have spelled 
"htdocs" incorrectly).


Also note that MS4W is designed so that all of your mapfiles & 
applications should live in the /ms4w/apps/ folder (but your htdocs use 
is fine if you wish).



Thank-you for using MS4W.

Message-ID:


<mailto:jvegbehwknyh88r8doxxpcgpx%2bg1d9gmmuuba...@mail.gmail.com>>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Hello!

I've been working through the mapserver tutorial where my setup is
fastcgi
using nginx + supervisor running the mapserv process, and the two are
talking via a unix socket.

I had been banging my head on a 502 error but finally figured it out
when I
set the map= query parameter to the full, absolute path of the mapfile I
was trying to use.

In the docs (https://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html
<https://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html>) it mentions

 > MAP [filename] Path, relative to the CGI directory, of the map
file to be
used.

I am curious though, what is the "CGI directory" when you're running
under
fastcgi?

Thanks!
Patrick

Re: [mapserver-users] asking help

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Boubacar,

Since you are using MS4W, here are some related points for you:

- you are missing the "MAP=" part of your request, such as:


https://ms4w.dev/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps/local-demo/local.map=map=all

- on your MS4W home page (http://127.0.0.1) you can see a link to "open 
map viewer in new window" (which uses the OpenLayers template) such as:



https://ms4w.dev/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps/local-demo/local.map=browse=openlayers=all

You can modify that url for your local mapfile, such as:


http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps/local-demo/local.map=browse=openlayers=all

Make sure that your "MAP=" path to your local mapfile is correct.


Thank-you for using MS4W.

Re: [mapserver-users] Error MsDrawMap Image handling error when using PNG

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Gerhard,

It seems to be a problem with the LIBPNG library on your server.  Is 
"PNG" listed in the response from the command "gdalinfo --formats" ?


I might also:

- recompile ZLIB

- recompile LIBPNG

(executing 'sudo ldconfig' after each)

- recompile GDAL (point to your external LIBPNG)

- test with 'gdalinfo --formats'

- recompile MapServer

- test your mapfile with a 'shp2img' command

[mapserver-users] Please add your site (or OGC services) to the MapServer Gallery

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi everyone!

A few years ago a new MapServer user reminded us that we need working examples
of applications (and MapServer-driven WMS/WFS/OWS services) listed on
our map gallery.  Please take a minute to add your site and specs
(respecting the syntax and alphabetical order) at:
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-Site-Gallery

It has become a great resource!  Please take a moment to make sure that your 
MapServer-driven site or OGC services are listed there, especially as we are 
getting closer to the big MapServer 8.0 release.  So help show off the powers 
of MapServer!!

Thank you everyone :)

Committee ("PSC", that means the 10+ individuals who help make decisions 
regarding the management of MapServer releases and code changes) will be 
meeting this coming Thursday on IRC chat.  You are also encouraged to join the 
meeting (there is an agenda item near the end called "community feedback", 
where you can give input on what's important or missing in the upcoming 8.0 
release, etc).   Join and share!  That's what FOSS is all about.   Thanks!

Re: [mapserver-users] GetFetureInfo with rotated grid

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi LP,

Can you also confirm through a shp2img command, that you generate a 
valid map image, in your output EPSG:4326 projection, such as:


  shp2img -m test.map -o ttt.png -map_debug 3

(also, please add "STATUS ON" to your layer)

I would always start with a shp2img command, make sure that MapServer 
(and GDAL+PROJ in this case) can access your data, reproject it, and 
return a nice valid image.  Then, after that works, move onto the fun of 
WMS and OGC service testing.

Hi all,

I have an issue with WMS GetFeatureInfo request on a rotated GRIB2 file. 
When I try to do a GetFeatureInfo request on a valid location on my map, 
I get: “Search returned no results”. I tried the GetFeatureInfo request, 
using mapscript and the mapserv command, both give me the “Search 
returned no results”.


The file projection is “+proj=ob_tran +o_proj=longlat +o_lon_p=0 
+o_lat_p=31.758312 +lon_0=-92.402969 +R=6371229 +no_defs”


I’m using MapServer version 7.6.2, GDAL 3.1.3 (released 2020/09/01) and 
proj 7.2.0.


But If I try to get the value with gdallocationinfo using the –wsg84 
flag, I get a valid result, so I guess this issue is not with gdal ?:


```

gdallocationinfo -wgs84 rotated.grib2 -75 45

Report:

   Location: (578P,373L)

   Band 1:

     Value: 3.1022446478346e-07

```

I can get a GetFeatureInfo request to work, but I have to define a 
custom EPSG code (for example: EPSG:102987), add this EPSG code (102987) 
to my epsg file and reference it in my mapfile. This way, the 
GetFeatureInfo only works if requested in this custom EPSG using the 
rotated grid BBOX, if I do the request in another CRS, it still return 
no results:


```

mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map= 
test.map=WMS=1.3.0=GetFeatureInfo=0,0,1,1=EPSG:102987=1000=1000=TEST_FORMAT=text/plain_LAYERS=TEST=5=5=image/png"


```

Here is a GetFeatureInfo request that returns no results using EPSG:4326:

```

mapserv -nh 
"QUERY_STRING=map=test.map=WMS=1.3.0=GetFeatureInfo=45,-74,46,-73=EPSG:4326=1000=1000=TEST_FORMAT=text/plain_LAYERS=TEST=5=5"


```

I have included a small mapfile that shows the previous behavior, you 
can use this curl command to download a sample GRIB2 data:


```

curl -o rotated.grib2 
'https://dd.weather.gc.ca/model_raqdps/10km/grib2/00/013/20210709T00Z_MSC_RAQDPS_PM2.5_EATM_RLatLon0.09x0.09_P013.grib2'


```

Do you have any ideas if I’m doing something wrong or if the issue is in 
MapServer ?


Thanks

LP

Re: [mapserver-users] OIDS in postgresql Postgis

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Magnus,

This morning I did more testing on this, and discovered in the source 
code that MapServer still does in fact fallback to looking for an OID 
column, when no unique ID column is found (or specified in the DATA 
statement).  I've filed the ticket at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues/6367 (and EvenR has 
already applied a fix for this [very elegantly checking PG version 
before relying on OIDs as fallback] at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/6368).  It would be great if 
you can test the fix locally and give feedback.


I've also added a note and warning about OIDs and unique IDs at 
https://mapserver.org/input/vector/postgis.html


So, now that I understand the issue, here is a very important point:

- for every PostGIS layer in my MapServer mapfile, I always specify a 
unique ID column with the "using unique" syntax, in the DATA statement
- that avoids any issue (such as your case, where you likely did not 
specify a unique ID column, and MapServer tried to guess)
- (and of course, I no longer use OIDs in my DATA statements, as these 
were removed in PostgreSQL 12.0)


Thanks again Magnus for this report, you spawned some great changes to 
both the source code and documentation!

It seems like mapserver still tries to look up oids.
 From earlier documentation I have got the impression that mapserver 
depends on oids when selecting from a postgis table.

Could this be avoided?

Calling mapserv cgi with wget gives "Missing Schema".
The connection string works.

Re: [mapserver-users] OIDS in postgresql Postgis

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Magnus,

You are correct, that old (dirty) trick of using OIDs as the unique id 
column, for MapServer, is no longer possible since the PostgreSQL 12.x 
release.  (using that trick is party my fault, for promoting it, for so 
long)


So I was in the same boat as you, how to handle this with so many client 
databases with gazillions of records.  Here are some important points 
that I now follow personally:


- for tables that do not have a unique column, or "gid" etc, I generate 
a new "unique_id" column, such as:


  ALTER TABLE mytable ADD COLUMN unique_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY;

- then I change in the mapfile PostGIS layer:

  DATA "geom FROM mydata USING UNIQUE unique_id USING SRID=3857"

- I was also concerned about what happens when restoring a dump (that 
contains OIDs, from an old version) into a PostgreSQL >=12, but I've 
done that so many times now that I can confidently tell you that there 
is one single warning displayed during the restore, and then the 
database is restored properly into PostgreSQL (without OIDs).  I do this 
on production databases, it works well.


Hope that helps a little.

-jeff

 From earlier documentation I have got the impression that mapserver 
depends on oids when selecting from a postgis table.

Could this be avoided?

Calling mapserv cgi with wget gives "Missing Schema".
The connection string works.

Hi Boubacar,

I'm not sure of books, but if you are on Windows you can install MS4W 
(https://ms4w.com) that now contains >80 working mapfiles + data, and 
then you can follow along the tutorial (which was recently updated) at : 
https://mapserver.org/tutorial/  The data & all mapfiles for the 
tutorial can be downloaded at 
https://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/docs/mapserver-tutorial.zip (it 
includes road highway shields, working WMS services, and lots of goodies 
to see locally in action).

Re: [mapserver-users] connect label to features

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Luca,

The implemented leader label logic does not turn on leader lines for 
every point or feature.  (I believe this is what is causing the 
confusion, as reported by you and Bob)   I personally could see a new 
parameter in the LEADER object of "FORCE TRUE" being very useful, but 
that would take a champion to file a new ticket 
(https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues), create a small test 
case (use yours, but also include the symbolset and fonts that your 
mapfile references, so a developer can just execute shp2img 
out-of-the-box), and then nudge/test/give feedback throughout the whole 
development process.


Hope that explains more what is happening.

Hi Luca,

I was able to get leader lines with your data by just commented out your 
MINDISTANCE parameter in your LABEL.  Here is the resulting map image:

Hope that helps.

(please also never attach zip, images, or files, on a mailing list, 
instead just upload your zip or image somewhere, and point to it here 
instead)


Have a nice weekend,

Thanks a lot, I tried again changing some parameters but I didn't get
any leader lines.
I'm using mapserver 7.6.2 provided by Debian


I'll fix that document now.

If you post your mapfile and data I can test your data locally here.



here you are an example not working for me, with my output png

I agree with your thoughts that it would be nice if it worked with

Hi Luca,



Hi Jeff,


I had created that page that Thomas pointed to, I see that my test files
are still available that I used to generate those map images
(https://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/tickets/label-leader.zip).  Give
that mapfile a try with your local MapServer instance, and let me know
if I need to update that test package.


I tested that data and it work properly, but as Thomas reported it
seems to work only with polygon, with my point data it doesn't work
Should I open a enhancement (or bug) issue? I think it should be
useful to have it at least for points, but also for line

I'm not sure why it's limited to polygons though...

Hi all,

I would like to know if it is possible to link a feature with its
label, something like QGIS is doing in Labels -> Callouts.

thanks a lot
