Hi Carl,

You can also find those same local MapCache configuration steps for MS4W online at https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#mapcache-apache-module (but I'm very glad to see you following the steps in your local README, great!) Thanks again for the positive feedback for MS4W.

PS. someone asked recently the same question about the mailing list search, here was my response:


I just use Google search to query the archives:
  - goto https://google.ca
- in the search box enter: site:lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/ yoursearchterm

This may not always contain the latest archives (depending on the speed of Google-mothership bots), but I find it very helpful.

Hi again,

Is there a way to search through the mapserver-users mailing list archive except month-by-month?  If so, I can't find it.  (I usually use my Gmail archives for GDAL and PROJ since I've subscribed forever to those but I'm a mapserver newbie.)  Anyway...

I am trying to configure mapcache to serve from my (local and AFAICT fully working) WMS server on my MS4W 4.0.5 installation.  I am following the  directions at https://mapserver.org/mapcache/index.html <https://mapserver.org/mapcache/index.html> as well as the steps listed from the local MS4W page (#mapcache-apache-module).

I think I understand the basic principles and have added a new source that looks like this:

<source name="faa" type="wms">
<getmap>
<params>
<FORMAT>image/geotiff</FORMAT>
<LAYERS>FAA_Sectional_Charts</LAYERS>
<TRANSPARENT>TRUE</TRANSPARENT>
<SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS>
<BBOX>-125,24,-61,49</BBOX>
</params>
</getmap>
<http>
<url>http://localhost:8080/wms <http://localhost:8080/wms></url>
</http>
</source>

and a new tileset that looks like this:

<tileset name="faa">
<source>faa</source>
<cache>disk</cache>
<grid>WGS84</grid>
<format>PNG</format>
<metatile>5 5</metatile>
<metabuffer>10</metabuffer>
<expires>3600</expires>
</tileset>
(This is the same as the "test" tileset with a different source.)

But how do I test this? The query

http://localhost:8080/mapcache/wmts?service=wmts&request=getcapabilities&version=1.0.0 <http://localhost:8080/mapcache/wmts?service=wmts&request=getcapabilities&version=1.0.0>

lists my new source as a layer. The docs say

 5.

    Test your MapCache configuration by following steps in the
    associated MapCache testing docs
    <https://mapserver.org/mapcache/install.html#test-your-mapcache-module>

but that seems to be about testing the mapcache/demo.  I don't see how to add something to the mapcache/demo if that's possible.  What am I overlooking?

Thanks a lot,
carl
