[mapserver-users] template not showing map

Wed Nov 18 14:50:20 EST 2009

Hi there!

i have a problem diplaying nodes, which are read from a 
postgresql/postgis database.

specifically the problem is that when trying to display the nodes using 
a pretty standard template i don not get a picture, but surprisingly it 
is generated in the tmp folder (with right timestamp). i am also able to 
show it via web when navigating to the tmp folder, so it might not be a 
problem of user rights.

http://www.pictureupload.de/originals/pictures/181109204617_no_map_displayed.png
shows what it looks like when viewing the template

http://www.pictureupload.de/originals/pictures/181109204754_picture_generated.png
but the picture is generated!

Hopefully you guys can help me if i provide you with the mapfile and the 
template-sourcecode.

please let me know if there is anything more you need me to provide you 
with.

thanks for the help
