Ok I found the error, it was on the sld itself: apparently mapserver can't handle in the same rule a point symbolizer and a polygon symbolizer. So I have to make 2 sld layers: one for my points and one for my polygons. It is a pity since openlayers could handle this without any problem.<br>
<br>(there was no problem with the temp file since I gave a chmod access to all users in this folder; but now I understand why I have so many temp files in this directory).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 10:29 AM, Barend Kobben <<a href="mailto:kobben@itc.nl">kobben@itc.nl</a>> wrote:<br>

External Graphic ignored)" see excerpt below)?<br>
<br>
***snip***<br>
Using SLDs is dependent on the correct setting of the two settings<br>
IMAGEPATH -- where the mapserver software puts the SLD and other temporary<br>
files<br>
IMAGEURL -- where the web browser and other http services pick them up.<br>
<br>
Setting these incorrectly, and more importantly their security setting<br>
incorrrectly, will normally give no problems, but when using SLDs (and also<br>
in other cases, eg. when chaining Mapserver to external WMS and WFS<br>
services), they will make MS malfunction, but SILENTLY (ie. No error<br>
messages).<br>
<br>
Eg. in our set ups of a WMS with external SLD they are set as follows:<br>
<br>
For a *nix setup ( MacOSX) with Mapserver CGI 'behind' Apache:<br>
WEB<br>
IMAGEPATH "/Users/kobben/Sites/ms_tmp/"<br>
IMAGEURL "<a href="http://localhost/%7Ekobben/ms_tmp/" target="_blank">http://localhost/~kobben/ms_tmp/</a>"<br>
#--------------------------------------------#<br>
METADATA<br>
[all your web metadata...]<br>
END #metadata<br>
END #web<br>
<br>
For a Win box with Mapserver CGI 'behind' IIS:<br>
IMAGEPATH "C:/tmp/ms_tmp/"<br>
IMAGEURL "<a href="http://geoserver.itc.nl/ms_tmp/" target="_blank">http://geoserver.itc.nl/ms_tmp/</a>"<br>
<br>
The IMAGEPATh is a directory that is reacheable by Mapserver at this real<br>
location (in this case expressed as Unix BSD path on my MacOSX or as UNC<br>
path on Win) and that has read & write access set for the Mapserver<br>
process. Eg. on the Winbox it should have write access for the anonymous<br>
system service account under which Mapserver runs (usually something like<br>
SERVERNAME\IWAM_SERVERNAME).<br>
<br>
You can test this by seeing if files with names like) are being created when<br>
you request the WMS with external SLD. If they are the IMAGEPATH celarly<br>
works. Then test if you can point a browser to the IMAGEURL and pick up the<br>
tmp file. If that worsk the IMAGEURL is also OK. Now it should work...<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
