[mapserver-users] Re: getSymbol (): Symbol definition error.

Thu Jan 26 07:24:34 EST 2012

So, when I add the # in the symbol file (.sym), I convert the line in a
comment, isn't it? Then, all the cartolines are in some way nulls.

But still doesn't work, what means: msSaveImage(): Unable to access file.
Failed to create output file?

Thanks a lot!
