04:18:36 beatpanic: hi, I have downloaded the GRUMP database which is in AAIGRID format, after preparing the map file I'm wondering if mapserver reads that file, I set DEBUG to 300 : ) but it prints few information, how could I be sure that the file is loaded correctly? ( Yes, I have GDAL/OGR support compiled in )
04:18:42 beatpanic: thanks
05:00:49 beatpanic: server is overloaded again
05:00:57 beatpanic: mapserver.org I mean
05:37:52 beatpanic: never mind, I succeded
08:05:20 gislars: aboudreault: ping
08:27:48 aboudreault: gislars: ack
08:30:31 gislars: wrt to the docs: how do we test the new redirect system?
08:31:59 gislars: do we test on the live server?
08:32:02 aboudreault: delete an untranslated document, I'll update the server
08:34:26 CIA-9: gislars * r9681 /trunk/docs/de/copyright.txt: ( docs-de ) removed copyright.txt for test
08:36:52 gislars: http://www.mapserver.org/trunk/de/copyright.html should show no 404 after update
08:36:53 sigabrt: Title: License MapServer 5.4.2 documentation ( at www.mapserver.org )
08:39:03 aboudreault: it seems that sphinx is in trouble: Could not import extension rst2pdf.pdfbuilder
08:39:36 gislars: easy_install rst2pdf solved that for me
08:41:41 aboudreault: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l_renderPM_libart
08:42:40 : * aboudreault trying to install reportlab
08:44:29 : * gislars is testing on an other server
08:48:39 gislars: hm on an debian system easy_install rst2pdf did it for me, looks like it installed dependencies like reportlab
08:49:18 gislars: on an ubuntu system I have installed packages python-renderpm python-reportlab and python-setuptools
08:49:43 aboudreault: it's a %?&*( ) fedoraCore
08:49:53 aboudreault: fedora 4 :/
08:50:14 aboudreault: I don't understand, the build script was working a month ago...
08:50:38 gislars: is it a new version of sphinx?
08:50:56 aboudreault: 0.6.2
08:59:19 aboudreault: fixed the reportlab error but got a new one
09:00:03 gislars: how do you fixed it?
09:00:20 aboudreault: installed the yum package python-reportlab.noarch
09:00:41 aboudreault: Could not import extension rst2pdf.pdfbuilder ( exception: cannot import name _Container )
09:03:46 gislars: I have no fedora here... not sure what I can do to help
09:04:20 aboudreault: anyway, you can do your cleanup gislars, will fix that later
09:04:37 aboudreault: I use http://www.mapserver.org/dev/de/ to test
09:04:38 sigabrt: Title: Willkommen zum MapServer MapServer 5.4.2 documentation ( at www.mapserver.org )
09:04:42 gislars: right...
09:05:03 aboudreault: I'm going to ping you when the error will be fixed
09:05:17 gislars: should I remove empty directories?
09:08:51 aboudreault: You can, though the 404 handler will work even if you don't.
09:29:27 aboudreault: emm, I'm trying to set my OGR to a postgres server
09:29:45 aboudreault: is my connection string ok? CONNECTION "PG:host=localhost dbname=osm user=www-data password={EF2FE47EF814C383}"
09:30:11 aboudreault: With that, I got a "permission denied for relation geometry_colomns"
09:31:27 gislars: I don't have a PG: in front of host
09:32:20 gislars: are the { } part of the password or is it the magic string?
09:32:38 aboudreault: without it I got a File not found or unsupported format.
09:32:58 aboudreault: yes the {} is the encrypted password. I tested it in plain text too. same.
09:33:14 gislars: connectiontype POSTGIS is set?
09:33:32 aboudreault: no, OGR. I want to use OGR to test.
09:33:50 aboudreault: It work well with the POSTGIS type.
09:34:03 gislars: ok... sorry for confusion
09:34:11 aboudreault: np
09:43:01 CIA-9: gislars * r9682 /trunk/docs/de/ ( 19 files in 16 dirs ): ( doc-de ) removed untranslated files
09:46:19 gislars: what about the images folder? do we need it in all language directories?
09:48:38 aboudreault: let it in svn for the moment, will see if I can do something to share the static directory
10:27:00 CIA-9: gislars * r9683 /trunk/docs/de/include/ ( . announcements.inc docnav.inc labels.inc ): ( doc-de ) readded include directory
10:50:03 aboudreault: FrankW: around?
10:53:53 FrankW: aboudreault: yes
10:54:43 aboudreault: did you ever set a mapserver layer using OGR as connectiontype and a postfis connection string?
10:54:50 aboudreault: *postgis*
10:54:59 FrankW: yes, I think I have done that at some point in the past.
10:55:07 aboudreault: I tried this connection string:
10:55:36 aboudreault: is my connection string ok? CONNECTION "PG:host=localhost dbname=osm user=www-data password={EF2FE47EF814C383}"
10:55:50 aboudreault: thought it would be valid
10:56:17 FrankW: I don't see any obvious problem with it.
10:56:27 FrankW: I assume the {EF...} stuff is the password substitution mechanism?
10:56:48 aboudreault: yes. I got a "permission denied for relation geometry_columns"
10:57:11 aboudreault: with ogrinfo, I had been forced to add a "tables=osm_polygon" to the connection string.
10:57:12 FrankW: and www-data should have broad permissions?
10:57:27 FrankW: why forced?
10:57:40 aboudreault: yes, the same connection string using POSTGIS driver works well.
10:57:56 aboudreault: otherwise I had the same error from ogrinfo, permission denied ....
10:58:15 FrankW: funky
10:58:28 FrankW: There must be some non-public tables registered in the geometry columns table or something.
10:58:33 FrankW: I've never run into such an error.
10:58:33 aboudreault: and if I add the "tables=osm_polygon" to the mapserver layer connection string, I got a seg fault.
10:59:12 FrankW: Perhaps there are flaws in the tables= parsing code?
10:59:21 CIA-9: sdlime * r9684 /branches/branch-5-6/mapserver/ ( HISTORY.TXT maporaclespatial.c ): Fixed problem with the oracle driver w/FUNCTION=NONE ( #3260 )
10:59:28 FrankW: I think it may be pretty new.
10:59:41 FrankW: Can you run under ogrinfo under valgrind and see if there are any clues?
10:59:52 FrankW: Or perhaps shp2img against the map file.
10:59:57 aboudreault: Ok, I'll go deep later in this and will report.
11:00:05 FrankW: good luck
13:04:57 gislars: aboudreault: I just tested the installation of sphinx with an fedora livecd, with an current one... and I could build the documentation
13:05:09 gislars: I also had to install python-reportlab
13:05:21 gislars: but then it was working
13:06:21 gislars: if I'm getting an other idea I'll let you know
19:42:35 FrankW: dang it. my ogr query update appears to have broken autostyling!
19:59:36 CIA-9: warmerdam * r9685 /trunk/mapserver/mapogr.cpp: fix autostyling to work with RFC 52 implementation
