01:04:26 outer_space: how can you make it zoom to the filtered polygons when the map loads?
01:37:59 nhv: there are several see http://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html
01:38:00 sigabrt: Title: MapServer CGI Controls MapServer 5.6.1 documentation ( at mapserver.org )
01:40:49 nhv: see MAPEXT
01:41:11 outer_space: is there a way to find out where the error is if a mapfile isnt loading?
01:48:56 nhv: see DEBUG http://mapserver.org/mapfile/map.html look at your webserver error log
01:48:57 sigabrt: Title: MAP MapServer 5.6.1 documentation ( at mapserver.org )
01:51:18 nhv: you can use shp2img to debug http://mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html just the mapfile
01:51:19 sigabrt: Title: shp2img MapServer 5.6.1 documentation ( at mapserver.org )
02:00:39 outer_space: this sucks. shp2img draws the map fine. my error log file doesnt get touched. map just loads forever
02:15:33 nhv: anything in you webserver error log
02:16:34 outer_space: just the successful use of shp2img
02:16:46 outer_space: so frustrating. this was working fine 2 hours ago, and it stopped
02:17:11 outer_space: checked and double checked permissions, checked with a mapfile that is absolutely known to work...
02:17:25 outer_space: it just tries to load forever...
02:25:45 outer_space: PHP Fatal error: zoomPoint failed : Georeferenced coordinates minx >= maxx
02:26:09 outer_space: i dont understand! I didnt change anything when it started doing this
02:26:35 : * nhv doesn't use php
02:30:26 outer_space: before it broke, I commented out EXTENT to see if it could calculate it on its own
02:30:35 outer_space: apparently that broke it
02:30:42 outer_space: even after I uncomment it
02:47:08 nhv: well if shp2img works then it is probably not your mapfile
02:48:48 nhv: setting 'debug 5' in the map section of your mapfile should give you some insight into what mapserv is doing
02:55:32 outer_space: it doesnt write anything to debug file unless shp2img runs, and it works fine
02:55:53 outer_space: PHP Fatal error:  zoomPoint failed : Georeferenced coordinates minx >= maxx
02:56:09 outer_space: I dont understand where this zoom is coming from?
03:15:02 outer_space: reinstalling mapserver cgi fixed it omg
03:19:47 nhv: gremlins I tell yoa :- )
04:38:36 aboudreault: MS 5.6.1 ?
04:40:12 aboudreault: ha, it's fixed.
12:23:57 mas_: good evening all: I'm having issues trying to make a QGIS generated map file display. Did the GetCapabilites thing and found the following error in the xml file:
12:23:58 mas_: <!-- WARNING: Mandatory mapfile parameter '( at least one of ) MAP.PROJECTION, LAYER.PROJECTION or wms_srs metadata' was missing in this context. -->
12:23:59 mas_: any suggestions?
13:53:14 outer_space: you need a projection section
13:54:07 outer_space: PROJECTION
13:54:07 outer_space: proj=latlong
13:54:07 outer_space: ellps=GRS80
13:54:07 outer_space: zone=15
13:54:07 outer_space: north
13:54:07 outer_space: no_defs
13:54:07 outer_space: END
14:01:17 outer_space: it seems like layers are randomly checked or not checked when a map is opened, how can you control that?
14:34:58 mas_: thank you outer_space
