[TinyOWS-users] Problem inserting features

[Carlos Ruiz]

Brian,
Just about the 900913 projection, maybe it is not found in the spatial_ref_sys table, also in Mapserver could be not found in proj4, so I suggest to try with the EPSG:3857 which is the same for spherical mercator.


Cheers from México

Subject: [TinyOWS-users] Problem inserting features


Getting TinyOWS to work has been a long and winding road - still no success - and almost ready to give up. Here's the latest on what I have tried and the results.

I ended up trying it out on linux and got further down the road, but
    different problems. I compiled it from source from SVN. I can insert
    features via QGIS and OpenLayers now, but the inserted features do
    not have any geometry (confirmed via checking out the table in
    postgres). And I can see existing features in QGIS that I manually
    added via a direct connect to postgres, but not in OpenLayers! I
    have been running down a lot of rabbit holes trying to get this
    figured out, burning a lot of time and I could really use some help. 

Also, I may have found a few bugs in the process. For example, if
    you have two geometry columns in your table, and do not inform
    tinyows of the additional geometry column via the config file, it
    produces a 500 error when testing from the browser. Does tinyows
    expect the_geom vs. wkb_geometry? Tried both and it seems to operate
    the same, except when you have them both there at the same time.

I don't remember if this is in the docs, but you must have a record
    in the geometry_columns table for tinyows to recognize the layer at
    all - you can have your config all set up right, and it just won't
    show the layer as being available.

If you change the geometry column name in your table and the
    geometry column name in the geometry_columns table don't match -
    doing ./tinyows --check produces the following error:
row number 0 is out of range 0..-1
tinyows: src/struct/buffer.c:254: buffer_add_str: Assertion `str'
    failed.
Aborted

Is there any reason why having your data in 900913 projection would
    be a problem? Wasn't my first choice, but I figured i could
    eliminate projection problems that way since the map is in 900913.

Also, not sure why, but after some change I made, the url http://myurl/cgi-bin/tinyows?service=WFS&request=DescribeFeatureType&version=1.1.0& is producing a much more terse output than before. Haven't figured out what it is yet, although if I take out my custom layer, and just have the france demo, the verbose output comes back.

If its easier to help debug this, I can open it up to the outside
    world temporarily. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian
