Basic Problem

Thu Mar 29 04:39:53 EDT 2007

Hi, Arul

I am also quite new to MapServer, so may the veterans out there excuse me if I say silly things.

I think you should include the html page as a TEMPLATE in the WEB section of your mapfile:

WEB
     TEMPLATE "whatever/hi.html"
     IMAGEPATH "/tmp/ms_tmp/"
     IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"
END 

Bye,
