Re: Getting MapServer to work with SELinux

Bill Thoen — 2008-07-05T15:25:07

I think I've figured it out. Or at least I can get MapServer to work under SELinux now. I don't fully understand it yet, but here's the steps I took. The answer came from http://sheltren.com/selinux_pam_mkhomedir and http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385. First, extract all the AVC messages related to mapserv from your /var/log/messages or/var/log/audit/audit.log log file into a separate file. I used: grep "type=AVC" /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep mapserv > avcs Next, create the Type Enforcement file and policy module like so: audit2allow -M mapserv < avcs This creates mapserv.pp and mapserv.te. You can edit mapserv.te if you like and then recompile the policy module (it tells how in the above URLs). Otherwise, just add mapserv.pp to your machine's running policy like so: semodule -i mapserv.pp As soon as I did this, MapServer worked. However, you may need to do this several times because once you fix one permission problem, there a few others that you'll hit. Like I s

Getting MapServer to work with SELinux

Bill Thoen — 2008-07-04T23:19:50

I've recently set up a Fedora Core 9 system, and its running SELinux. I've set up MapServer 5.0.3 but SELinux is blocking it from doing anything. However, I can set SELinux to "permissive" mode and it all works fine, so the problem is setting permissions or policies or whatever for MapServer so SELinux will let it do its thing. So does anyone know of a step by step reference detailing how to get MapServer to work under SELinux's "enforced" mode? I've Googled for an answer but haven't found anything I understand. I like the idea of the extra security that SELinux offers, so I'd like to learn how to set up MapServer to work with it.

Re: Mapserver 5 migration & PostGIS

Paul Ramsey — 2008-07-04T22:57:09

Does your points table not have a primary key? Probably it's related to the primary key inference code, but don't quote me. If it *does* have a primary key, add a USING UNIQUE clause to your DATA.

Mapserver 5 migration & PostGIS

Ben Brehmer — 2008-07-04T21:57:22

Dear All, I'm just in the process of changing all of my mapfiles to be 5.x compatible. The PostGIS layer[1] which worked fine with 4.6 now throws an odd error [2] in 5.0.3. If you look at the error, you will notice that the query has ""::text prepended to it although this is not in the DATA statement. It deosn't seem to matter how I manipulate the DATA statement, it always has an empty string prepended to it at runtime which causes this error. Any ideas why an empty string is prepended to a PostGIS query at runtime in Mapserver 5?

Iacovlev, I have reviewed the code and can fairly conclusively say that currently there is no mapscript mechanism to push an XML Post request into the OWS request object to be processed as normal post requests are. To implement this, we would need to actually implement the msIO_bufferRead() function in mapio.c, and add a function to push data into this buffer (something roughly like msIO_getStdoutBufferString() and msIO_getStdoutBufferBytes() from mapscript/swiginc/msio.i but in the opposite direction). I have created a Trac ticket to note this issue, but I have no plans to implement it in the forseeable future. http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2681 I would be willing to implement it in 5.4 if there was a sufficiently savvy collaborator willing to help test and debug it (including building from source themselves). NOTE: This issue only affects someone wanting to use POST requests to WxS services from mapscript in a non-cgi environment (like mod_php or mod_python). Best regards,

Iacovlev Pavel — 2008-07-04T12:41:14

Ok I know where the bug is, first of all as written In the begging of the post I run the wfs server as phpmapscript, so that means no CGI, to load the parameters passed to the script I use : $request = ms_newowsrequestobj(); foreach ($_REQUEST as $key =>$value) { $request->setParameter($key, $value); } not because I love this way, just because $request->loadParams(); just does not work in non CGI environment at all. Ok now in GetCapabilities response we tell the WFS client "" hey we can accept RAW XML DATA as POST, that data comes to PHP but it's not in the $_REQUEST object, but in "php://input", that means that $request does not get populated and we get an "empty" request. 2 ways of fixing this : 1) Easy & Dirty : $buffer = str_replace("", '', $buffer); this will just won't allow the client to send HTTP POST REQUEST with XML RAW DATA 2) Pupulate the request object wit

New cache mechanism

Pål Kristensen — 2008-07-04T05:58:37

Hi! Norwegian Mapping and Cadastre Authority (statkart) has developed a new open source cache mechanism called geoCache, for use with WMS services. The project is part of a larger research activity which is being performed by statkart and Gecko Informasjonssystemer AS (www.gecko.no), partially founded by Innovation Norway (www.innovasjonnorge.no/system/Global-toppmeny/English/). The research activity will be carried out to the end of 2009. GeoCache is based on the tilecache.org project, but is completely rewritten in C#, version 0.1 is published at codeplex (http://www.codeplex.com/geoCache). GeoCache will be subject to extensive development, and one of the main projects in the research activity the next year. Some of the new features that will be developed first is: - the ability make geoCache response to regular WMS GetMap requests, not only WMS-C. - partially cache updates - dynamic cache generation (cache is generated by use) - cross platform support (Linux and Windows as a minimum) and support f

Re: Mapserfer Wfs and Mapinfo

So the problem is in the GetCapabilities. I copied yours in a xml file. Then downloaded and saved it as an xml-file too. Then I installed meld on my ubuntu desktop. There is a compareable product for windows called winmerge to visualy compare both documents. This is what I found: dmsolutions has where you have and where you have Your latlong bounding box says: I am not sure mapinfo is able to handle the "e+12" in the coordinates, perhaps you should try testing a coordinate with all decimals written out? Is your EPSG code (28405) one that can be recognized by MapInfo and transformed into their internal coordinate systems? These are some hints, I wish you good luck with rest!

Re: two questions

Steve Lime — 2008-07-03T14:18:16

Hi Carlos: 1) MapServer does not have a built in routing solution. You might check out pg_routing? 2) Yes, you can find all points within a certain distance of another point. That's basically a regular query, just be sure to set the TOLERANCE of the layer containing the points your selecting against to match your specified distance. A little explanation on 2. MapServer's basic point query essentially intersects a selection point with geometries. Works fine for polygons since they have area. However, lines and points don't so we add area by using the TOLERANCE/TOLERANCEUNITS layer properties (tolerances work with polygons too). It's a bit backwards but in many ways more flexible since you can define different tolerances for each layer. So, with one point query you could find the exact county the point is in, hospitals within 50 miles and airports within 200 miles. Steve Hi I would like to know, if it's possible to describe two point in a map and then get the track to go from de first point to the se
