[maplab-users] Limited length to layer connection string?

[Mike Leahy]

Daniel,

I gave the new dll a shot, but this one wasn't compiled to work with a 
MapServer exe that supports PostGIS.  Even though I'm still using the 
MapServer version that does support PostGIS, I get the following messages:

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named '<Layer 
Name>'. in <script.php> on line ###

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): msPOSTGISLayerOpen called 
but unimplemented! (mapserver not compiled with postgis support) in 
<script.php> on line ###.

As for creating a test scenario for a bug report, I'll make a reminder to do 
it in a few weeks.  I'll be on the road for the first field testing of our 
site next week, so clearly the crunch is on to get other stuff done first.

Again, I really appreciate your help.

Kind regards,

Mike
