[Mapserver-users] Help with Fatal Error received

Fri Apr 16 08:27:34 EDT 2004

I used the PHP Mapscript 4.0 By Example HOWTO document at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/phpmapscript-byexample-howto.html  and
received the following error...

Fatal error: Due to thread-safety problems, php_mapscript cannot be used as
a 'apache' module. You will have to reconfigure your PHP as a CGI to run
this version of MapScript. See
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI. in
/home/chicora/public_html/map01/europe.php on line 4

File reference: http://secure.gishosting.net/~chicora/map01/europe.php for
error

------------------------------------

The administrator for the site hosting my project has enabled PHP as a CGI
to run
MapScript.   The script returns the phpinfo without reporting any errors.

    <?php  dl("php_mapscript.so");
              phpinfo();
       ?>

Obviously, something is not working right.  Suggestions??

Here is the europe.php file:
1. <?php
2. dl('php_mapscript.so');
3. $map_path="/home/chicora/www/map01/";
4. $map = ms_newMapObj($map_path."europe.map");
5. $image=$map->draw();
6. $image_url=$image->saveWebImage();
7. ?>
