Welcome to the Student Development Map Servers
The Department of Geography
maintains two map servers for ARCIMS Development by Students in
Departmental Courses or working on approved projects. Maps displayed on
this server are non-proprietary and solely used for educational
purposes. If you have any questions regarding maps or other issues
related to the map server site, please contact
Dr Allen Finchum at
finchum@okstate.edu or
Dr Jonathan Comer
at jcomer@okstate.edu. The two
servers are reached directly at either
http://www3.geog.okstate.edu/
(Server #1) or
http://www4.geog.okstate.edu/ (Server #2).
The Department of Geography also
maintains an ArcIMS WebServer to disseminate Geospatial Information for
the State of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Center for Geospatial Information.
This server is accessible at
http://www.ocgi.okstate.edu.
This site is best viewed in
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, and it has been found
that ALL other browsers experience problems viewing the ARCIMS generated
maps displayed here. If you do not have Microsoft Internet Explorer,
download it here:
Microsoft Internet Explorer
6
It is also suggested that the user
MAXIMIZE this window
BEFORE proceeding to any of the maps
shown below (if it is not already maximized), and that you also
NOT use the "BACK"
or "REFRESH" buttons on your
browser after initializing ARCIMS (this is why a new window may have
been spawned). To reload a map or return to a previous map view, use
the ARCIMS function buttons provided in the ARCIMS interface.
If you need to download the Java
Plugin, BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL instructions and note the location
of the downloaded files for input in a later screen menu (this is noted
in the dialog boxes). Diligently reading and following the dialog
instructions during the download and installation process is critical
to the correct function of the plugin. If you do not follow the
instructions precisely, the plugin will not function correctly and you
will be prompted to run the download and install again. Also, it is
suggested that the computer be restarted after the download and install
process is completed - the instructions suggest a restart of the browser
only, but this is not always successful, while a complete restart will
insure that the browser buffers are cleared as necessary for proper
function of the plugin. Once the plugin is successfully installed once,
you WILL NOT have to complete this process again.
Student Instructions for Using the
Development Map Server:
- All file and
directory names used on the server should conform to the 8.3 naming
format to avoid problems sometimes associated with long filenames in
certain web browsers and operating systems.
- All shapefiles
for use on student websites should be placed in subdirectories in the
MapData Directory on the "C:/" Drive on the ArcIMS Test workstation
using the student's initials as the 1st three letters of the directory
name, followed by a 1-5 character descriptor: (i.e.: c:/mapdata/gaftest1/).
- All .axl files
MUST be saved into the c:/ArcIMS/axl/ directory. Again use your
initials and a 1-5 character descriptor for the .axl file name (i.e.:
c:/ArcIMS/axl/gaftest1.axl).
- All websites
MUST be saved into the c:/ArcIMS/Website/ directory. Again use your
initials and a 1-5 character descriptor for the website name (i.e.:
c:/ArcIMS/axl/gaftest1).
