01:02:23 aboudreault: don't know about rc1 but 5.6.0 ms4w should be available
01:03:42 aboudreault: http://maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html
01:03:43 sigabrt: Title: MS4W.MapTools.org ( at maptools.org )
01:04:23 stvn: that's mapserver 5.4.2 according to the contents page
01:05:06 stvn: ah there's an upgrade more down the page, thanks
01:08:59 aboudreault: np
01:24:21 karpi: hello.. my png pixmaps ignores alpha chanels ...
01:24:32 karpi: trere asre all RGBA

01:24:52 karpi: ..some hint, plz?
01:27:01 karpi: /there are all rgba - sorry for typos
02:18:14 karpi: ..this example is with transparency turned off..
02:19:11 karpi: because with transparency on the result is similar:

03:50:54 aboudreault: Hmm... ON_MISSING_DATA will not work for a shapefile ?
03:51:07 aboudreault: ( not tiled )
03:58:16 aboudreault: ok, only tiled shp layer...
06:18:33 hobu: assefa: have you been doing sqlserver bugs?
06:18:58 assefa: no
06:19:40 hobu: shucks ; )
06:20:45 assefa: is there any particular bug: I did recently noted that there was an sqlserver bug in OGR and pointed the issue to Frank and he fixed it
06:21:02 assefa: I am setup to test OGR and sqlserver
06:21:25 hobu: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3216
06:21:32 sigabrt: Title: #3216 ( Truncation of integer ID fields when connecting to SQL Server database via ODBC connection ) - MapServer - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
06:21:51 hobu: I am unfortunately the owner of the sqlserver component, but I just checked in the code and have no way to test
06:25:36 assefa: I can qu check at the end of the day it and see if I can reproduce and update the bug
06:35:31 jmckenna: ( as a side note, to test SQL Server I fire up an existing EC2 instance runing SQLServer...in this case the testing could cost a few dollars only...i am dreaming of an EC2 account for OSGeo testing someday ha )
06:43:33 assefa: jmckenna: aren't you on the board? I though that would give all the power you need to change things : )
06:43:44 jmckenna: : )
06:44:09 assefa: Seriously: I think we mentionned this a couple of times, havin servers where we can test SDE and sqlserver would be great
06:44:22 jmckenna: yes this is very needed i agree
06:46:31 acxty: Hi guys, Is it possible to get geocoding with mapserver
06:58:12 hobu: acxty: read the faq http://www.mapserver.org/faq.html#does-mapserver-support-geocoding
06:58:14 sigabrt: Title: FAQ MapServer 5.4.2 documentation ( at www.mapserver.org )
12:32:06 : * jmckenna compiles more feedback for the qgis developers of the mapserver-export plugin
13:20:36 jmckenna: QGIS devs want to somehow export FONTS inline in the mapfile ( like can be done with a SYMBOL, inline in the mapfile, instead of pointing to an external file )...can this be done? I have never seen it done...hmmm ( this is for the QGIS MapServer Export tool ). How can we make this easy for the QGIS devs? Anyone have ideas?
13:23:25 jmckenna: hmm ok will ask on -dev
15:09:10 DarcyB_SAR: I'm trying to get multiple postgis layers in 1 group to serve correctly, but all that I can ever get to render is the first layer defined in the .map file
15:09:48 DarcyB_SAR: I'm using the guide mapserver/osm ( http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmData ) howto as a guide
15:09:49 sigabrt: Title: RenderingOsmData - MapServer - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
15:15:20 aboudreault: What kind of request?
15:18:16 DarcyB_SAR: WMS
15:18:58 DarcyB_SAR: rendering via openlayers
15:19:13 aboudreault: You haver set the directive GROUP "group_name" in each layer, and pass that group in the LAYERS parameter in the url?
15:19:24 DarcyB_SAR: yes
15:19:58 aboudreault: Does the OL request contain the LAYERS parameter ? Have you checked?
15:20:55 aboudreault: Test only mapserver before.
15:21:54 DarcyB_SAR: yes it does
15:23:38 DarcyB_SAR: GET /cgi-bin/mapserv............osm-mapserver.map&LAYERS=default&FORMAT=png&TRANSPARENT=on&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap
15:23:45 aboudreault: just for a test, add explicitly the name of a current non-drawed layer name in your request.
15:24:01 DarcyB_SAR: I did, and I get noting returned
15:25:01 aboudreault: so the problem is not the drawing all layers using a groupd
15:52:33 rburhum: ah, and be careful if you mix OSM layers with your layers, 'cause now there are interesting debates about virality of licenses :/
15:52:35 rburhum: haha
15:53:53 DarcyB_SAR: im only using the OSM data as a testing ground
16:22:18 DarcyB_SAR: aboudreault: Do you have a suguestion on what I can try to see if I can narrow down the real source of the issue.
16:38:18 tomkralidis: assefa: ping
16:38:37 assefa: Hi tom
16:39:09 aboudreault: DarcyB_SAR: I would suggest to set the directive DEBUG 5 at the MAP and layer level, to see what's happen and if they are draw
16:39:33 aboudreault: DarcyB_SAR: and a directive CONFIG "MS_ERRORFILE" "/tmp/logfile" at the map level.
16:40:18 aboudreault: perhaps you'll see an error of something
16:40:52 aboudreault: ( I assume everything is well set in Postgis for the OSM data )
16:41:01 tomkralidis: assefa: I'm getting alot more errors in msautotest/wxs now. Probably due to the last two WFS commits?
16:41:06 tomkralidis: can you run a test?
16:42:05 assefa: yes I can, can you e-mail me your results?
16:43:22 tomkralidis: assefa: http://www.pastebin.ca/1707758
16:43:23 sigabrt: Title: pastebin - Miscellany - post number 1707758 ( at www.pastebin.ca )
17:03:06 assefa: tomkralidis: here is what I have: http://pastebin.com/m5a12a6de
17:03:07 sigabrt: Title: pastebin - collaborative debugging tool ( at pastebin.com )
17:04:10 assefa: most of them are png errors or an empty line that gets inserted in the xml
17:04:19 tomkralidis: assefa: thx. I had 19 failures before the last wfs commit
17:05:41 assefa: I will go error by error and see what are the issues. I am not sure I understand the errors you get with wfs_misc.map
17:05:52 assefa: It is like the request is invalid?
17:07:04 tomkralidis: ah, wfs_misc.map gives me issues because it is DOS.
17:07:18 assefa: ah, ok
17:07:30 tomkralidis: when I dos2unix the file all works, will commit
17:07:39 assefa: thx
17:07:49 assefa: It might now give me an issue : )
17:08:16 CIA-6: tomkralidis * r9600 /trunk/msautotest/wxs/wfs_misc.map: fix line feeds
17:08:21 tomkralidis: svn up and check now?
17:10:47 assefa: ok. works for me:
17:12:13 tomkralidis: great. i'm also getting a few more fails in wfs_simple.map
17:12:44 DarcyB_SAR: aboudreault: I've set it to debug 10, and I see that it's making calls to msDrawMap for various layers, but it's not displaying them.
17:13:42 DarcyB_SAR: aboudreault: http://cosar.ca/content/map-server to see it in action ( and the lines out of the mapserver.log )
17:13:44 sigabrt: Title: map server | Central Okanagan Search And Rescue Society ( at cosar.ca )
17:17:06 aboudreault: DarcyB_SAR: have you added "debug 5" in all layers levels you want to get information
17:17:09 assefa: I think we need to reupdate the wfs11 test since the axis orders have changed. At leats few tests fail beacuse of that in wfs_simple.map
17:17:14 aboudreault: You should see more than that
17:17:48 tomkralidis: assefa: true.
17:18:16 assefa: I can recommit the expected results based on what we get now.
17:19:31 tomkralidis: ok, sounds good.
17:19:39 assefa: would commiting the xml from windows cause issues with the line feeds?
17:19:45 aboudreault: DarcyB_SAR: gtg, sorry. I'll be here tomorrow morning.
17:19:52 aboudreault: good luck.
17:20:35 DarcyB_SAR: aboudreault: thanks hopefully I won;t haveto see you tomorrow
17:21:23 tomkralidis: not really. the problem with the line feeds is in the .map files. the output files end up looking like file.xml^M type thing.
17:25:41 assefa: ok will do so
17:38:11 CIA-6: dmorissette * r9601 /branches/branch-5-6/mapserver/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT: Fixed ReST formatting
17:38:32 hobu: danmo: shall I switch over the docs?
17:38:52 danmo: honestly I don't know what jmckenna's plan was
17:39:08 danmo: I don't think docs are ready, so switching is probably not worth it
17:39:19 hobu: k
17:39:34 danmo: He told me he'd have more time for docs in December
