Problem in Opening maps in Mapedit and mapbrpwser

[srh124]

Hi all.

i'm a begginer around mapserver and maplab. (and generally to opensource WebGIS)

my problem is simple: i can't open even tutorial maps in mapedit and mapbrowser (using MS4W)

and i don't know what to do t progress in learning Maplab.

i willbe so pleased to receive your help?

 

By the way, i've seen in some webpages that Maplab develpment has been stopped.

so, it sounds better to find a better starting point in opensource WebGIS.

what's your idea?

 

Finally, i haven't found any package (of course opensource) to do the shortest Path analysis

Is there any or i should program it by myself?

 

Lots of thanks for your help.

Hi,

It's difficult to know what is going wrong when you open a mapfile
without some information on errors. Is anything showing up in the
various frames when you open a mapfile? There is also a pop up error
dialog activated by clicking on the logo in the top right corner of
the application.

Alternatives to maplab include Qgis (http://qgis.org) which can export
mapfiles, and mapstorer (http://mapstorer.org) which can manipulate
mapfile components.

For shortest path, you could look at GRASS (d.path and v.net.path) or
pgRouting depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

You need to start on the mapserver documentation and tutorial.
here:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/
http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/tutorial/

pmapper

here is my app

Another problem is that mapserver only runs on php 4 not 5, perhaps your
problem is related to that

Use postgis, there is a shortest path algoritm here:
