12:23:44 zesoze: hi I am getting this error: msProcessProjection( ): Projection library error. no options found in 'init' file
12:24:16 zesoze: I read for this error: here is the faq: http://mapserver.org/errors.html#msprocessprojection-no-options-found-in-init-file
12:24:17 sigabrt: Title: Errors MapServer 5.4.2 documentation ( at mapserver.org )
12:24:37 zesoze: and I have <900913> in my epsg file
12:24:51 FrankW: I suspect the file isn't being found.
12:24:59 FrankW: Where is it?
12:25:25 zesoze: /usr/share/proj/epsg
12:26:03 FrankW: You are using a prepackaged MapServer and PROJ?
12:26:18 zesoze: I have compiled both
12:26:42 FrankW: You deliberately installed in /usr/ instead of /usr/local?
12:26:55 zesoze: yes I did it
12:27:18 zesoze: whereis proj
12:27:18 zesoze: proj: /usr/bin/proj /usr/local/bin/proj /usr/share/proj /usr/share/man/man1/proj.1.gz /usr/share/man/man3/proj.3.gz
12:28:02 FrankW: At the commandline could you do:
12:28:09 FrankW: export PROJ_DEBUG=ON
12:28:16 FrankW: cs2cs +init=epsg:900913
12:28:32 FrankW: It should print out a debug message with regard to it's search for the epsg init file.
12:28:34 FrankW: Something like:
12:28:40 FrankW: pj_open_lib( epsg ): call fopen( /wrk/home/warmerda/bld/share/proj/epsg ) - succeeded
12:29:36 zesoze: yes it is searching for epsg file in pj_open_lib( epsg ): call fopen( /usr/local/share/proj/epsg ) - succeeded
12:29:54 FrankW: Did it say anything like:
12:29:55 FrankW: projection initialization failure
12:29:55 FrankW: cause: no options found in 'init' file
12:29:56 zesoze: but I included the new proj in /usr/share/proj
12:29:56 FrankW: ?
12:30:18 zesoze: let me try change the file
12:30:22 FrankW: Ah, I see it was looking in /usr/local.
12:30:25 FrankW: Well that's the problem.
12:30:42 FrankW: Possibly you aren't running the copy of proj you think, or you built it funny or something.
12:30:43 zesoze: yes do you think that a symb link can resolve it?
12:30:53 FrankW: it could, yes.
12:31:03 zesoze: ok I will do it
12:31:07 zesoze: thx FrankW
12:31:16 FrankW: have fun
12:31:57 ue: zesoze, I am not sure about this, but I think mapscript caches the proj file and you need to restart apache
12:32:17 zesoze: hum I will do it too...
12:32:19 zesoze: thx ue
12:32:39 FrankW: That is also true in the dso php mapscript is being used, and with the latest release of proj ( which does the caching )
12:32:47 FrankW: Also true of fastcgi mapserver.
12:33:15 zesoze: oh perfect...it works...
12:34:22 ue: zesoze, funny thing that you specified in #openlayers that you use mapscript and did not say it here : )
12:35:07 zesoze: now my non base layers are displaying in right place on map, before that layers only appears in right place when a zoomed to it
12:35:21 zesoze: hehehehe are you in #openlayers too?
12:35:38 ue: y
12:36:00 zesoze: yes and I resolve my problem here
18:26:55 zesoze: How can I generate a shapefile ?
18:27:30 zesoze: with GetMap or a similar thing
20:51:46 : * nerdboy gets the harpoon ready for next time
