Hi
i had seen, that there is a possibility to issue personal wms and orthofots for osm. But I can find out how that can be done.
Can somebody help me’
Thanks a lot
Hi,
It is pretty simple task to do with Geoserver or with Mapserver. What you need to do with Geoserver is to install, start, and you own geotiff datastore as described in http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/geotiff.html. Once datastore is configured you add the ortophoto as a new WMS layer http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/webadmin/data/layers.html#add-or-delete-a-layer
That’s all. Geoserver comes with demo layers which include also at least one image layer.
Mapserver does not have as fine installer but you should be able to get your orthophoto into Mapserver WMS in ten minutes if you are on Windows. Start by reading this document first http://latuviitta.org/documents/Super_easy_WMS_server.pdf
If you get insterested, download the installation package http://hip.latuviitta.org/tiedostot/Latuviitan_superhelppo_WMS_OSM_versio.zip
Unzip, start the WMS server and test as described in the document for seeing that server is running OK. Then you can add your own own orthophoto as a new layer by adding this kind of layer definitions
LAYER
NAME “Landsat742”
STATUS ON
DATA “D:\Data\landsat742.tif” #location of the geotiff image
TYPE RASTER
# DEBUG 5 # uncomment for getting debugging into to the MS_ERRORFILE (defined in the main map file)
UNITS METERS
SIZEUNITS PIXELS
METADATA
“wms_title” “Landsat742”
“wms_srs” “EPSG:4326 EPSG:900913” #list of projections that will be supported in the WMS
END
PROJECTION
“init=epsg:4326” #this must suit the projection of the source image
END
END
You can use the main mapfile osm_wms.map as a template, comment (with #) or delete all INCLUDE references to OSM vector mapfiles and copy and paste the above section just before the final END of the main mapfile. This is unfortunately untested instruction but I am rather sure that it works.
hi
thanks for your support
