| 02:19:33 | lucianjp: | I just posted a question about mapserver on stackoverflow if anyone have an answer. It was easier to explain than writing on IRC :- ) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2206738/mapscript-symbolset-dynamic-creation-isnt-rendered |

| 03:08:27 | lucianjp: | back |
| 03:08:30 | lucianjp: | anyone have an ide |
| 03:08:34 | lucianjp: | idea**** |
| 06:02:23 | lucianjp: | found my solution had to affect symbol = [index] with the symbolname |
| 09:29:06 | msavarese: | good afternoon, MapServer newbie here. It was suggested on the OpenLayers IRC to use the Layer.WMS constructer instead of Layer.MapServer.If so, what parameters are used to construct a MapServer mapfile? |
| 09:29:46 | msavarese: | the following gives me multipe pink tiles within my <div> layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "harwich","http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\ms4w\apps\landbank\mapdata\harwich.map",{layers:"hjw_edit_layer"} ); |
| 09:30:28 | racicot: | msavarese: you need to make sure that your mapfile uses syntax that allows it to be a WMS server. There are lots of examples and docs: http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html |
| 09:30:29 | sigabrt: | Title: WMS Server MapServer 5.6.1 documentation ( at mapserver.org ) |
| 09:31:48 | msavarese: | ok thanks, I'll check it out. |
| 09:39:24 | tbnorth: | hi all - building mapserver on ubuntu 9.10 - are the features listed by configure enabled unless it specifically says they're not? |
| 09:43:16 | aboudreault: | tbnorth: depends. Some options will try to find the needed libraries to enable the support, some not. |
| 09:44:18 | tbnorth: | ok, thx |
| 09:45:17 | aboudreault: | tbnorth: you might be interested in UbuntuGIS, if you are looking for binary packages: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGIS |
| 09:45:19 | sigabrt: | Title: UbuntuGIS - Ubuntu Wiki ( at wiki.ubuntu.com ) |
| 09:46:02 | tbnorth: | aboudreault: thanks - I want to use geomoose 2.2, and I want a full set of features. I'll look at UbuntuGIS |
| 09:50:13 | tbnorth: | aboudreault: I see UbuntuGIS is largely your work, cool. What's its status vs. 9.10 Karmic? |
| 09:54:17 | aboudreault: | mostly the same than hardy/jaunty. I tend to maintain everything at the same state. |
| 09:54:40 | aboudreault: | You can see the karmic's packages there: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=karmic |

| 09:55:34 | tbnorth: | thx |
| 10:02:49 | tbnorth: | aboudreault: is UbuntuGIS i386 only - I'm using amd64 ? |
| 10:04:15 | aboudreault: | All packages are built for i386, amd64 and lpia. |
| 10:05:10 | tbnorth: | ok, I get Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found |

| 11:10:20 | : | * hobu can't believe it's already been 7 years http://old-mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mum/index2003.html |
| 11:18:44 | pramsey: | "ZMapServer: A Mapping Applications Framework for Zope" |
| 11:18:49 | pramsey: | most excellent |
| 11:19:04 | hobu: | didn't know about that? |
| 11:19:57 | pramsey: | no, and now the world has turned away from zope |
| 11:20:37 | pramsey: | 2013 will have to be the "well, that's that" conference. |
| 11:20:41 | pramsey: | 10 years is enough. |
| 11:21:42 | hobu: | the world has turned quite far away from zope. compared to what we do now, all that stuff at that meeting is tinker toys... |
| 11:22:57 | hobu: | Chris is a zoper who sums zope up rather well http://plope.com/Members/chrism/succeeding_poorly |
| 11:22:58 | sigabrt: | Title: plope - The Curse of Allowing People to Succeed Poorly ( at plope.com ) |
| 11:23:12 | hobu: | mapserver has this problem in a number of areas too |
| 11:24:14 | hobu: | The buildup to mum1 had me learning how to program C by using swig to wrap the ArcSDE C API. It was as much of a disaster as you would expect ; ) |
| 11:25:21 | FrankW: | That writeup explains why I'm not keen on PixelFunctions in VRT format. :- ) |
| 11:25:56 | pramsey: | so has the mum1 content been archived/saved? |
| 11:26:35 | hobu: | that we can view it on the web would imply it is at least saveable |
| 11:26:49 | hobu: | i have the mum3/2005 stuff on a plone instance if worse comes to worse |
| 11:27:01 | hobu: | I think Perry input all that stuff into the old plone mapserver website |
| 11:27:10 | pramsey: | ouch |
| 11:27:31 | pramsey: | well, i'll slurp mum1 over to osgeo we we can put it into the foss4g.org heirarchy |
| 11:29:39 | hobu: | wayback machine would have it too |
| 11:30:44 | : | * pramsey wonders where the 2006 archive got dropped. |
| 11:30:52 | pramsey: | can't see it on upload.osgeo.org |
| 11:30:59 | FrankW: | I think Tyler put it on osgeo1. |
| 11:31:51 | pramsey: | Hm. Problem for anohter day : ) |
| 12:49:50 | s34n: | what is the best data format for mapserver? |
| 12:50:06 | s34n: | I've read that shape files are the fastest and postgis is close |
| 12:52:39 | s34n: | or is this more of an ogr question than a mapserver question? |
| 12:58:01 | s34n: | my three main sources of data right now are shape files, autcad drawings, and postgresql-backed applications |
| 12:58:30 | s34n: | the shapefiles are no problem, of course |
| 12:58:54 | s34n: | and we will get more and more clever about integrating elements from the pg-backed apps |
| 13:00:05 | s34n: | but I'm trying to figure out the best way to integrate autocad data |
| 13:02:23 | nhv: | would dxf work |
| 13:03:12 | s34n: | perhaps |
| 13:04:12 | s34n: | I'm thinking we will eventually try to get to where we need to manipulate individual elements of the autocad files |
| 13:04:24 | s34n: | shapefiles, too, for that matter |
| 13:05:01 | s34n: | give them emphasis on demand, etc. |
| 13:06:19 | s34n: | nhv: is that possible with the various scripting tools? |
| 13:06:50 | s34n: | also, with dxf, the entire file becomes one layer, right? |
| 13:07:08 | s34n: | so you would have to save layers into individual files...? |
| 13:07:50 | s34n: | mapserver doesn't do sdf, right? |
| 13:08:05 | nhv: | or tables in a db |
| 13:09:04 | s34n: | nhv: save autocad drawings into db tables? |
| 13:18:38 | s34n: | are dgn files better than dxf? |
