[MS4W-Users] URL with X and Y position and level

[TC Haddad]

Hi Markus,

Yes in order to download tiles, you first have to make them with MapCache.
The general order of operations would be:

- enable the map layers you want to be called via WMS using a single GROUP
name in Mapserver
- register the map WMS in MapCache configuration and set up the tile scheme
- enable MapCache in the Apache config file and then restart Apache
- test the MapCache URL to confirm that tiles are being generated

That's the simplified list of steps. Relevant files in MS4W:

- your map files containing your layers (wherever you keep them)
- MapCache configuration : C:\ms4w\apps\mapcache\mapcache.xml
- Apache configuration: C:\ms4w\Apache\conf\httpd.conf

For the docs check out:
https://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html
https://mapserver.org/mapcache/config.html
https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#mapcache-apache-module

hope this is a good start!
