[OpenLayers-Users] Mapserver and Openlayers - Pink Tiles

[Martijn Senden]

Hi again,

Thanks!! (As I had already e-mailed to the list, (via the forum)), I had
included a directory statement for the for geoviewerbin alias:

# Path to cgi-bin folder
Alias /geoviewerbin "C:\OSGeo4W/bin"

# Settings for access to geoviewerbin folder
Directory "C:\OSGeo4W/bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I added your statement to this file, but that didn't work (problem remains
the same). I then commented out the above statement, so only your statement
remained. After restarting Apache I then got this error-message when I
pasted the pink-tile-url into my browser:

msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (/geoviewermaps/spoortunnel.map)

It seemed to be doing something and I thought the reference to the mapfile
was wrong and that's what caused the error. I changed it to the absolute
filepath "c:/osgeo4w/apps/geoviewer/maps/spoortunnel.map". I no longer get
pink images! I do get white images however.... This is one of the white
images' url:

http://localhost/geoviewerbin/mapserv.exe?map=c%3A%2Fosgeo4w%2Fapps%2Fgeoviewer%2Fmaps%2Fspoortunnel.map&mode=map&map_imagetype=png&mapext=82750+447046.875+84078.125+448375&imgext=82750+447046.875+84078.125+448375&map_size=256+256&imgx=128&imgy=128&imgxy=256+256

So, how can the images be white? I think I'm almost there.....

Best regards,
Martijn Senden.
