Hi dear,

Thanks for your guide. 

Im a little bit confused on your step # 0 and 1. On #0, this dir must be on my local drive location? And on #1, where should i upload these files? Is it on the winscp? Im running now a online server btw. 

TIA for the help. 

Best regards,

Janh

The data folder and/or GRF should lie where your map server is.

So if you want to do it in your PC, compile the mapcache plugin and map-server in your PC

Hi Dastgir,

Im trying to add custom map on a running online server directly. Previous version of Hercules, there is mapcache and I know how to do it but at this time I cannot. 

  /home/hercuser/Hercules/conf/client_data.

What do you mean by this? Is it an example of a local drive? Can I make it C:\Ro\data?

 

[Habilis]

Yes, if you doing it on windows, it can be.

Hi Habilis,

Thanks for your response. 

Btw i dont have offline, im using online directly. My files of it is in winscp. I tried earlier but the map files i have from my local drive cannot be detected. I recompile using putty and it doesnt work 100%. 

Can you help me what is the proper procedure?

Sorry newbie here.
