Steve, et al.
I tested the Itasca demo app and it acts the same way as the 3.5 Tutorial on
my system.
The legend and reference images end up in /var/www/tmpMaps
The map image ends up in /var/www/html/tmpMaps
The three files I used in the Itasca demo follow:

Well, everything *should* be heading into the same directory. That's
certainly
the intention anyway and it was working last time I ran the Itasca
demo. Can
anyone else out there verify this behavior? Image file names are
created by
simply concatenating the IMAGEPATH with the filename. That behavior has
been
the same for many versions. I just took a quick swing through the code
and it
all looks fine.
Can you post full versions of your template and map files?

Steve, Thank you for the insight, however...
My experience with 3.7 is that the map images are placed in one
directory
and the ref, leg and .qy files are being placed in another. Is this
suppose
to be the case with 3.7? I can get either the map image to show OR
the
reference and legend images to show, but not both at the same time.
My .map file is in /var/www/html/tutorial/s3/
IMAGEPATH "../tmpMaps/"
IMAGEURL "/tmpMaps/"
I am running Redhat 8.0
Apached 2.0.40
DocumentRoot: /var/www/html
ScriptAlias: /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
I created /var/www/tmpMaps and added the following to httpd.conf
Alias: /tmpMaps/ /var/www/tmpMaps/
after which the legend and reference images displayed but the map did
not.
I ran my test and did a search on the server's directory for the map
image
but nothing turned up. I then created /var/www/html/tutorial35/tmpMaps
and
ran my tests again. The legend and reference images where created in
/var/www/tmpMaps and displayed as expected, and the map image was
created in
/var/www/html/tutorial35/tmpMaps but did not display.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get everything to show up at the
same
time?

Remember that ../.. is relative to where the CGI program lives, not
where the web page
or map file lives. In 3.7 there is no more crazy chdir() going on.

Gerry, et al...
I did some more testing. I discovered to get the ref, leg and *.qy
files
stored the IMAGEPATH directory MUST be assigned the ownership and
group
of
the web server. In my case when I changed both of these to 'apache'
the
images were generated and stored, however, again they are showing up
in
/var/tmp!!!! They never get displayed along with the map image
because
the
process tries to get them from /var/www/html/tmp as it should.
My .map file is in /var/www/html/tutorial/s3/
Expected tmp directory /var/www/html/tmp
The IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL are:
IMAGEPATH "../../tmp/"
IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
Apache serves html from /var/www/html

Gerry's response:
May be a 3.7 "feature"... I've not seen image evolution here, either.
