<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's not generally a good idea to put all of your
files in the cgi-bin directory. You should only have the mapserv
directory there, and your other files in your normal html directory like
/var/www/<directory> or something like that.
The Imagepath is the complete path to the temp directory where your map images
will be stored... the ImageURL would be the URL to the images. For
example you might have something like </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Imagepath /var/www/map/tmp </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ImageURL /map/tmp. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The fontset is only used for labels if you have any
text labels on your map.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your legend likely doesn't show up because you
haven't named any of your classes. Only named classes will show up
on a legend.</FONT></DIV>

not show up?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>I was making a simple map file. I'm able to display the map, but
when i add the "landcover" layers, they don't show up on the map. I'm not sure
why it doesn't show up???</DIV>
<DIV>Also, does it matter if I include the fontset? what is it used for?</DIV>
<DIV>WHat is the purpose of IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL? If I don't include these
it doesn't make a difference. Why is that?</DIV>
<DIV>The legend doesn't show up either.</DIV>
<DIV> It can be viewed here: <A
