FW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] msLoadMap(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (255):(line 4)

Albert, 

On line 4, you have 'IMAGETYPE 255 255 255'

This is causing the error.  You should either comment this line out, or change it to 'IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255'

David.

		Albert, 

		Please CC' the entire list on your responses.  

		From your description, you have an error in your mapfile.  I would suggest including the text of your mapfile in your response to the list.

			Albert, 

			You are calling the MapServer cgi program, but you are not telling it which map file to use for configuration.  If you are calling the program with a get request (in a URL), it should look something like:

			http://my.site/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mydirectory/mymapfile.map

			You will likely set other variables in the URL also, like mode, layers, etc.  

			If you are calling the MapServer cgi from a html form, you are missing a hidden html variable named map that, like the url variable above, would contain the path to your map file.
