[Chameleon] Chameleon - WMS Browser

[D'cruz,Steven [Ontario]]

Hi Paul,

	I really appreciate the quick response.  The admin interface
appears to be functioning correctly, and in the third tab there exist
the various add/update options for WMS sources.  I'll try adding the new
WMS server connection later, as the data to add is currently
unavailable.  Thanks a lot for the assistance.

there is supposed to be a tab in the admin interface (third tab over) 
that allows you to manage the persistent list of wms servers.  It is 
possible that it does not work correctly, but try this first.

If this doesn't work, you can accomplish this in a different way (it's a

little more manual labour)

* find the location that php is storing sessions.  Normally this is 
found in the php.ini file.

* remove old sessions and then connect to the service instance, this 
will create a new directory called sess_******* where ******* is some 
random number

* in the session directory, a bunch of files are created AND a directory

called data or userdata I think.  The wms cache is copied here so that 
any changes that are made are made to this copy instead of the 
persistent copy.

* in the application, add your server, update stuff, remove them ...

* copy the contents of the user data directory from the session into the

cwc2 data directory, replacing existing files.

Cheers,

Paul
