Initial zoom level sometimes not set

[jng]

Sometimes when the AJAX Viewer has finished loading, the zoom level is remains at 0 : 0.001 instead of being set to the map's initial zoom level.

I have noticed a similar behavior, but in my case the scalebar shows the desired zoom level, ea 1:500, but the map is clearly zoomed to 1:0.001. I have seen this in both IE and Firefox.

Hi. I had seen this a long time ago, but I haven't seen this in 1.2. Do you have steps to reproduce? Or do you notice this only in maps that have raster layers or...? Or is it platform specific?

Does disabling fastCGI and going with straight CGI fix the problem?

There might be other things to try, but that's all I've got right now.

Thanks Tom

I have seen the problem with 1.2 RC2 Win 2k3, and Enterprise 2008 win 2000. There are no raster layers in the map. There are only SDF datasources, but joined with an Access database, the map is the same for both installations.

I have not experimented with disabling FastCGI, but the problem appears to be very periodic, and I belive it to be viewer related. If I get the error, it usually repeats if I hit Ctrl+F5, but closing the browser and clearing cache will sometimes make the problem disapear. But it may just be coincidence.

In the MapGuide Users list, Nimrod Cnaan suggested the following, does this help?

you can try changing your server Data cache size to reduce round-trip loading. go to Site Administrator >> Feature Service >> Data cache size: 300.

Does this still happen in 2.0.0?

Removal of FastCGI seems to have done the trick, because I haven't encountered this problem in the RCs or the final release.
