Mr Sid problems in MGOS 2.0

[George McLean]

Hello, I have one last issue (I hope) upgrading to 2.0 from 1.2. I can
not get my Mr Sid files to render in MG 2.0.

I have installed the gdal1.4 dll and can see the files opening when
running mgserver from a command window so I think I have the file paths
correct. These sid files worked in MG 1.2.

I see a lot of discussion regarding sid files and connection handles,
memory issues etc. but I do not think I am even getting that far!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

George McLean

Hi George,

The instructions for 2.0 (and 2.0.1) are somewhat different than for
previous versions:

http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoGdalNotes#FDO3.3.0MapGuide2.0.0

You should not install gdal1.4.dll.  You should only need to install the
three MrSID plugin files.

However... If you're seeing the files opening, it may be that you're
running into the problem with the coordinate system being set to a value
other than that of the map, and may need to set a CS override in the
data connection for the raster data.  

Are there any exceptions in your mapguide error log?

Another possibility is that you're not in the right place when
previewing the data. I think that the raster provider in 1.2 may have
done a better job of reporting the extents of MrSID files.  This is just
a gut feeling though; I haven't taken the time to test/document the
problem.

Jason

Wow Jason, what a quick reply!

I guess I did not install the gdal1.4.dll, I did install the files as
outlined in the document you pointed me to. Sorry about the confusion.

I do see errors in the log indicating a coordinate system difference
between the sid file and the map. I am not sure how to do a coordinate
system override. Is there some documentation somewhere? I am using
Mapguide Studio 2007 to build my map and can not find any tools for
this. I do see some references to editing the config.xml file but any
guidance to documentation on how to modify this file would be much
appreciated.

Thanks again,

George

I got my sid files working after installing studio 2009 and setting the
CS overrides.

Thanks everyone for answering all my questions today!!

Good to hear that you managed to work your way through it...
 
Not that it really matters now that you have Studio 2009 installed, but MapGuide Maestro also provides the ability to set coordinate system overrides.  I also like the way that Maestro approaches the configuration of unmanaged raster files, and maintains inter-resource links when moving things around in the repository.

Thanks Jason,

I will take a look at Maestro. It sounds like a good tool.
