[Cartoweb-users] raster compatibility towards Win-Unix

[Oliver Christen]

Hi Simone

if you havent already tried, you can test to read the data directly with
gdal in commandline and you will directly see if the problem is really
there.

also, you can get the list of supported format by the version of gdal you
have by typing:
gdalinfo --formats
in commandline

check if the format you want to read is listed,
if not, the version of gdal on your unix server is most certainly outdated
and you need to install/compile a new version.

if it is listed, then maybe the mapserver installed on your server was not
compiled with gdal.
to check that, you can either access with your browser the url
../cartoweb3/scripts/info.php on your server (or move the info.php in
another folder where you can access it)
or in commandline, go to where mapserver cgi is installed (usualy
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/) and type "mapserv -v" and you should see INPUT=GDAL in
the list.

regards
Oliver
