[Chameleon] WFS layer display problem

[William Bronsema]

Hi Derek,

 

The world map demo does use Mapserver via a script alias.  You say you have
not had an answer from us yet, to whom did you ask a question?

 

Cheers,

Bill

Hi, this is the same question I asked on the chameleon forum ...

 

What is occuring is the URL to your map server has a ? followed by the map
and whatever parameters .. The Chameleon all then takes that URL and
automatically appends a ? to the URL, you can not have two ? marks in a URL.

 

The only solution I know of would be to create an alias in Apache for your
map...  ie
http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/fgs/apps/chameleon
-2.0/test/map/test.map
<http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/fgs/apps/chameleo
n-2.0/test/map/test.map&typename=sightings2004_point>
&typename=sightings2004_point becomes
http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/maptest then it will work great.

 

If you notice DMS has their world map demo does not go through mapserv ....
They must either have an scriptalias or some custom cgi script. I have not
had an answer from them yet...

 

Regards,

Derek

Subject: [Chameleon] WFS layer display problem

I have a layer (pulling from a shapefile) set up on my server set up to
share as a wfs layer. The layer displays properly, when tapped via a
getfeature request, the data comes back parsed properly with no errors, when
using a chameleon experssionbuilder widget, I can see each of the headers
for my columns of data. However, when I try to tap that wfs layer to display
it in a mapserver, I instantly get a red x in the upper left corner and my
map won't load. Even tyring to tap it in the same mapfile (as a wfs
connection to the url) gives me errors. 

 

here is the layer attempting to tap the working layer (note, this is on a
intranet):

 

 

LAYER
          NAME wfs_sightings_test
          TYPE POINT
          STATUS off
          CONNECTIONTYPE WFS
          CONNECTION "
<http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/fgs/apps/chameleo
n-2.0/test/map/test.map&typename=sightings2004_point>
http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/fgs/apps/chameleon
-2.0/test/map/test.map&typename=sightings2004_point&"
          METADATA
            "wfs_typename"          "sightings2004_point" 
            "wfs_version"           "1.0.0"
            "wfs_request_method"    "GET"
            "wfs_connectiontimeout" "60"
   "wms_srs" "epsg:4326" 
          END
        END # Layer

 

I've read every piece of documentation I've found, and searched every
mailing list archive, and I've yet to see any reason why this should be
happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Matt
