[Geoserver-users] Migrating from Mapserver to GeoServer

Hi,

In theory the standard way to do that with WMS would be to use GetStyles

http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/foss4g?&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetStyles&layers=railways3

Unfortunately conversion between the mapfile styles and SLD is poor and the SLD returned by Mapserver is not always even close to the actual styles. This is probably a feature that nobody uses.

Hi James,

I don’t think I’ve ever seen mention of a way of automating the migration; might be worth asking on the MapServer list.

I suspect it’s possible to create a tool to do it (read the mapfile and turn it into SLD’s). You’re probably going to have to do it manually though.

I’m thinking of migrating my MapServer MS4W service over to GeoServer. The MS4W comes with Apache and PHP that are out of date, and I don’t seem to be able to update them without breaking the mapserver. Are there any guides on migrating a mapserver mapfile over to be served up by GeoServer?
Thanks,
James
