<p class="MsoNormal">Hello again,<br>
<br>
A few more tests with no luck in saving the images to disk on the server. <br>
Does anyone save images to the server using 6.4? It works fine on the examples at
<a href="http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/mapserv">http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/mapserv</a>? but these use MapServer 5.6.5<br>
<br>
This applies to [img], [scalebar], [legend] even though unique filenames are generated in the template output e.g.<br>
<br>
<img src="/tmp/PMS1418817695480.png"><br>
<img src="/tmp/PMSsb1418817695480.png"><br>
<img src="/tmp/PMSleg1418817695480.png"><br>
<br>
I've tried running from the command line to rule out the web server: <br>
<br>
mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=C:/MapServer/apps/pms/mymap.map&LAYERS=Test&mode=browse"<br>
<br>
I also tried to create a new OUTPUTFORMAT to use, setting it explicitly to use the filesystem (although I'm not sure if this only applies to OGR formats):<br>
<br>
OUTPUTFORMAT<br>
NAME 'png2'<br>
DRIVER "GDAL/PNG"<br>
MIMETYPE "image/png"<br>
EXTENSION "png"<br>
IMAGEMODE RGBA #All features are rendered against an initially transparent background.<br>
FORMATOPTION "STORAGE=filesystem"<br>
END<br>
<br>
And then from the command line:<br>
<br>
mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=C:/MapServer/apps/pms/mymap.map&LAYERS=Bridges&mode=browse&QFORMAT=png2&SAVEQUERY=true"<br>
<br>
<br>
The logs show the following (with debug set to 5) with no errors:<br>
<br>
[Wed Dec 17 11:55:42 2014].367000 CGI Request 1 on process 2272<br>
[Wed Dec 17 11:55:42 2014].382000 mapserv request processing time (msLoadMap not incl.): 0.015s<br>
[Wed Dec 17 11:55:42 2014].382000 msFreeMap(): freeing map at 0000000002A3A870<o:p></o:p></p>

<pre>are you very sure the path C:/Mapserver/apps/pms/tmp exists? Please<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>check. Also you can use debug-mode to see where mapserver wants to write<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the image and perhaps cannot.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the directory has to be writable, but with windows this should not be a<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>And you have to define the alias in apache for the tmp-directory like<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>Until now I have been using MapServer as a WMS server. I've only<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>The MapServer tutorials refer several times to saving temporary images<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>using the mode=browse. At<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><a href="http://demo.mapserver.org/tutorial/section3.html">http://demo.mapserver.org/tutorial/section3.html</a> the map images<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>generated in these tutorials refer to image files on the web server (so<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>are not generated dynamically). E.g.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><a href="http://demo.mapserver.org/ms_tmp/EX1.9_141873269321745.png">http://demo.mapserver.org/ms_tmp/EX1.9_141873269321745.png</a><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>I've tried to set this up in MapServer 6.4 without success. I've set up<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>parameters in the WEB section as follows:<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre> WEB<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> IMAGEPATH "C:/Mapserver/apps/pms/tmp"<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> # Also tried "tmp/"<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> IMAGEURL "tmp/"<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> TEMPLATE "reports/test.html"<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>However no images are ever created in this folder when using a request<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>such as <a href="http://localhost/mapserver/?LAYERS=mylayer&mode=browse">http://localhost/mapserver/?LAYERS=mylayer&mode=browse</a><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><a href="https://localhost/mapserver/?LAYERS=mylayer&mode=browse"><https://localhost/mapserver/?LAYERS=mylayer&mode=browse></a><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>The template contains file names such as tmp/MyMap14187343292752.png but<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>these never seem to be written to disk. How can these images be persisted?<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>I know I could use mode=map to generate an image, but I want to create<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>legends etc. all with a single request.<o:p></o:p></pre>
