New Windows Build with MapServer Export

Submitted by Gary Sherman on Tue, 2006-12-12 02:15.


Today the MapServer export tool builds (and works) under Windows. I have uploaded a new QGIS setup for Windows to
http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/testbuilds/qgis_setup.exe.

With this build, all plugins and parts of QGIS should be functional (though untested) under Windows. This includes the new context help system (accessed by the Help button on enabled dialogs). Feel free to download the setup and give it a spin.

Note: The MapServer export tool requires Python 2.5.

If all goes well, there should be an official Preview 3 release tomorrow. This will be the last preview before the December 29th release of version 0.8.

Is it possible with Qgis 0.9.1 to export mapfile?
Or I need an extension?
Thanks!

Python25.dll - The Final Word

Submitted by Gary Sherman on Tue, 2006-12-19 05:51.

Here's the deal. If you install Python as a non-privileged user, the dll is placed in the Python install directory. If you install it with administrative privileges, it is placed in C:\windows\system32.

Not the final (for me)

Submitted by aborruso on Tue, 2006-12-19 14:42.

Hi gary,
I have found the .dll (thank you very much), it's just in windows path environment variable, but I'm not able to run "Export to mapserver" tool. I click on it and I have anything.

Best regards,

First make sure that the dll

Submitted by Gary Sherman on Wed, 2006-12-20 06:21.

First make sure that the dll is in your path.

Next try running msexport.exe by itself (not from in QGIS).

If that works, try it from within QGIS.

msexport.exe failure

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2007-10-06 21:52.

Hi !

I tried to launch msexport from a "command prompt", it opens qgis, but then I get a windows failure ... :(
It also doesn't work from within QGIS.
Any clue ... ?

Thanks !!!!

Hi gary,
I have just downloaded the preview 3. The problem was not the dll but qgis version. In preview 3 version I have msexport.exe and all is ok.

Make sure the python25.dll

Submitted by Gary Sherman on Tue, 2006-12-12 20:52.

Make sure the python25.dll is in your path before you start QGIS. The dll is in the top-level directory where you installed Python 2.5.

Dear all,
I know probably I have a stupid problem but I would like to use mapserver export tool in qgis 0.8. I'm not able to find python25.dll. Once again do I have the wrong version of python?
Be patient for my stupid question?

Thank you,

I've tested this on two

Submitted by Gary Sherman on Sat, 2006-12-16 06:16.

I've tested this on two separate machines and both times, python25.dll is installed in the directory you choose for the Python 2.5 install.

How about in C:\WINDOWS

Submitted by Masanori on Wed, 2007-01-17 20:07.

Hi a,

>I have dowloaded your file, I have installed it but I have only these dll:
>sqlite3.dll,tcl84.dll,tcldde12.dll,tclpip84.dll,tclreg11.dll,tk84.dll

Your problem might have been solved already, but I am going to post solution for others.

As you mentioned, there's only these dlls in Python25\bin, no python25.dll.
But you can find it in C:\WINDOWS(It depends on individual configuration of installing python though).

Regards

Hi

I have the same problem. Bear with us - we will post a notice with updated instructions once we figure out an official place to get the dll from .
