[mapserver-users] Tutorial examples broken and missing.

[geep999]

Hi,

1/ I'm a new user of Mapserver on Slackware Linux fighting against the
tutorial.
Examples 1-5 to 1-8 are broken on http://demo.mapserver.org and locally on
http://localhost

msLoadSymbolSet(): Unknown identifier. First token must be SYMBOLSET, this
doesn't look like a symbol file.

I fixed these examples on my own mapserver by adding SYMBOLSET as first line
of symbols35.sym
Perhaps somebody could fix the official version.

2/ Example 1-9 doesn't exist.

3/ Examples 2.1 to 2.5 are all broken, and I don't know where to get the
source of the examples to try them myself.
(example2.map and example2-1.html through example2-5.html

Same error as above:
msLoadSymbolSet(): Unknown identifier. First token must be SYMBOLSET, this
doesn't look like a symbol file.

4/ The link on this page - 
http://mapserver.org/introduction.html#how-do-i-get-help
http://mapserver.org/introduction.html#how-do-i-get-help  - 
to "Search the archives" -  http://www.nabble.com/MapServer-f1214.html
http://www.nabble.com/MapServer-f1214.html  is just wrong.
The link points to some Spanish guys, seemingly chattng about seeds.

5/ This isn't the best introduction in the world to new users of mapserver.
Hope someone can fix these niggles as mapserver deserves it.

Cheers,
Peter
