ArcGis9 and Maplab

[Javier Sanchez Galan]

Hello Fellows

Ive succesfully installed ms4w 1.6 and maplab 2.2.1 (it seems that maplab
doesnt work properly in ms4w 2.2.3). i can display the tutorial.map that
comes with maplab, but when i try to publish my own map (done in ArcGis 9)
it shows errors.

I am using "ArcMap MXD to ArcIMS AXL & MapServer converter/ export utility"
from ESRI to convert from .mxd to .map

(http://arcscripts.esri.com/scripts.asp?eLang=&eProd=&perPage=10&eQuery=EXPORT+.MAP)

My first assumption is that ESRI's .map format is in a different format than
the one used by maplab.

has anyone tried that ArcGis extension and published a map with maplab?

are there other products to convert from .mxd to .map?

Thanks for your help,

No necesariamente, el problema que puedes tener es que las imagenes
generadas por mapserver no se esten generando, debido a que no esten
definidos los directorios a donde se escribiran y desde donde leera el
servidor web(apache).

Más información:  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs

My First words are to thank those who answered my question!.

After reading carefully the "ArcMap MXD to ArcIMS AXL & MapServer converter/
export utility", i ve found what may be the answer to my question about the
format (.map  generated file, has differences from the tutorial.map file).

it reads that:

"The files generated for MapServer can be customized by editing the
resoures/_MXDtoMap.xsl" file. The default form is particularly focussed on
users that publish metadata and services through GeoNetwork opensource (
http://geonetwork-opensource.org ). "

Well, i found the AMEIN v1.0.1 plugin that does the export i need, i ve
installed it succesfully (even registered the dll), the only problem is that
it doesnt loads on ArcGis9, it remains gray, thus unusable and after reading
many posts, i dont have a conclusion on how to make it available.

Anyone can point me to a way of making it available.

Thanks

I can tell you that the latest QGIS (http://www.qgis.org/) has a
'File/Export to MapServer Mapfile' function that actually works.  Give
it a shot!

Nahum et al.

Thanks for answering, here is the apache log 'describing' my maplab error

http://jsgalan.host.sk/maplab/error.log

here is the mapfile generated with esri plugin (which to my unexpert eye
seems different from mapserver required format)

http://jsgalan.host.sk/maplab/calidonia.map

I also tried with qgis-0.8.0, using shapefiles to then convert it to
mapfile, but the export didnt worked. i might now try builiding it from
shapefiles but in maplab (mapeditor/mapbrowser) itself.
