[ka-Map-users] precache2 problem

[Jesse Lovelace]

Hi Tim,

There is looping through directories going on--in mapserver/mapscript.
Mapserver is looking at the tileindex and going through the areas in it,
each area pointing to a directory.  Looking at the tileindex shapefile in
ogrinfo:

OGRFeature(tgrindex):509
  LOCATION (String) = ../48/48501/
  POLYGON ((-103.064678999999998 32.958548,-103.064678999999998 33.388489,-
102.594234 33.388489,-102.594234 32.958548,-103.064678999999998 32.958548))

OGRFeature(tgrindex):510
  LOCATION (String) = ../48/48503/
  POLYGON ((-98.954097000000004 32.9523,-98.954097000000004 33.397534,-
98.420435999999995 33.397534,-98.420435999999995 32.9523,-98.954097000000004
32.9523))

OGRFeature(tgrindex):511
  LOCATION (String) = ../48/48505/
  POLYGON ((-99.453794000000002 26.571681999999999,-99.453794000000002
27.319154999999999,-98.954176000000004 27.319154999999999,-
98.954176000000004 26.571681999999999,-99.453794000000002 26.571681999999999
))

When the layer defs are passed to the mapscript object it always tries to
open all layers in each directory referenced by the tile index--mapserver
fails to load those layer shapefiles that do not exists in the tiger data
and gives a warning.  Unfortunately, the script (or mapscript itself rather)
returns nothing from $oMap->draw(); (~line 237) and so the script dies when
it tries to call a method on a non-object.  From the errors reported from
precache2 when I run it, it seems clear that not finding a certain layer
file in a dir is killing it:

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msSHPOpenFile():
(/var/www/http/tl-map/../48/48391//water)
 in /var/www/http/tl-map/precache2.php on line 237
