[ka-Map-users] Ka-map on Debian etch - map not loading - help needed.

[jaisuvyas at gmail.com]

Hai..,
    I am jaisen, a new user of ka-map. I was setting up ka-map on my Debian
Etch box with the sample data. But problem is, map is not at all appearing.
All I did is given below:-

I copied the unzipped ka-map-1.0-20070205 folder to my /var/www/ folder.
Then put all the contents of freegis_worlddata-0.1_simpl.tar.gz inside
/var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/data/ folder.
Created a folder /var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/tmp/ too.
Set-up aliases in file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default as follows:-
-----------------------------------------------------------
Alias /ka-map/ "/var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/"
    <Directory "/var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/">
               Options Indexes
               AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
               Allow from all
    </Directory>
-----------------------------------------------------------
Changed settings in files as shown below:-
Settings in my /var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/global.map:-
-----------------------------------------------------------
 WEB
   IMAGEPATH "/var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/tmp"
   IMAGEURL "/ka-map/tmp/"
 END
-----------------------------------------------------------
In my config.php:-
-----------------------------------------------------------
$szPHPMapScriptModule = 'php_mapscript.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX;
$szPHPGDModule = 'gd.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX;
-----------------------------------------------------------
$aszMapFiles = array(
       "weather"     => array( "Global Weather",

"/var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/global.map",
                               array( 100000000, 50000000, 15000000 ),
                               "PNG")
);
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nothing else I have changed. But the Ka explorer window is just showing a
message:-
-----------------------------------------------------------
"The application is loading.
Please wait a moment... "
-----------------------------------------------------------
But the map is not loading.

Then I tried with the script --> http://localhost/ka-map/init.php then it
returns an error message like this:-
-----------------------------------------------------------
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Bad arguments. in
/var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/init.php on line 125

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/init.php on line 151
/*init*/aszScales=new Array('');var map = new
_map({name:'weather',title:'',currentScale:
0,units:3,resolution:72,version:'',scales:aszScales});map.setDefaultExtents(-1,-1,-1,-1);map.setBackgroundColor('rgb(255,255,255)');map.resolution
= 72;this.addMap( map );this.tileWidth=256;this.tileHeight=256;this.server =
'http://localhost/ka-map/';this.tileURL = 'tile.php';this.selectMap('gmap');
-----------------------------------------------------------
The script --> http://localhost/ka-map/tile.php returns an error message:-
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fatal error: [MapServer Error]: setExtent(): Given map extent is invalid.
Check that it is in the form: minx, miny, maxx, maxy in
/var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/tile.php on line 239
-----------------------------------------------------------
But, when issuing this command:-
-----------------------------------------------------------
user at localhost:~$ shp2img -m /var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/global.map
-o test.png
-----------------------------------------------------------
It makes a test.png image of world with red boundary lines of world nations
in /var/www/ka-map-1.0-20070205/htdocs/ folder. As I am new to these all,
don't know, where to make changes. Please give me some guidelines, that what
else should I do to get the sample map in ka-explorer window.
