Hello Richard<br><br>As you correctly guessed, i'm working with a windows client and i have a linux server. Specifically in this case i'm using my friends gisvm server (Ricardo Pinho, Portugal) and the server has a /mapas subdirectory that is a symbolic link to /home/user/gisdata.<br>
<br>/home/user/gisdata is a samba shared subdirectory that I access from my windows client as \\gisvmsrv\gisdata.<br><br>We assume we cant use the "windows samba url" because the final .map file is going to reside in the linux server under /mapas.<br>
<br>Maybe its just a case of (manually) renaming the online_resource inside the .map file to adjust for mapserver to find the file in the server.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Orlando<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/2/8 Richard Duivenvoorde <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:richard@duif.net">richard@duif.net</a>></span><br>

<br>
the url's you see in the alert after the successfull generating of the mapfiles was intended to be a fast way of just testing the mapfile and view of it. Normally url's like this should be working, it's 'standard' checking stuff of mapserver, see <a href="http://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html" target="_blank">http://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html</a><br>
It's always better to check it via a real wms-client like QGIS, an OpenLayers client or gvsig.<br>
<br>
if it is not working, there are some things to check:<br>
1) in the url of your mail of tody I see 'modo' this should be 'mode', but I think that is just a typo of you<div class="im"><br>
<a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapas/toponimia.map&modo=map&layers=all" target="_blank">http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapas/toponimia.map&modo=map&layers=all</a><br></div>
should be<br>
<a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapas/toponimia.map&mode=map&layers=all" target="_blank">http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapas/toponimia.map&mode=map&layers=all</a><br>
<br>
2) Is <a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapas/toponimia.map" target="_blank">http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mapas/toponimia.map</a> a valid url on your machine?<br>
<br>
3) Is the mapfile /mapas/toponimia.map a valid path to your map?<br>
<br>
If both questions are true, what then do you see if you ask for the capabilities of this server?<br>
<br>
You are running linux isn't it?<br>
<br>
Another caveat for different findings with different clients is that there is not a valid mapserverurl in the 'ows_onlineresource' metadata of the mapfile. Lately most clients look for THAT url to do a getmap request. But older clients actually use the url (host/path) of the capabilities url you gave them.<br>
<br>
If you still have problems, please let us know (with as much info as possible: (OS, QGIS-version, mapfile, projectfile) it's always possible that you found a bug ...<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I am trying to export a map to the mapserver and I'm using qgis trunk.<br>
<br>
After doing OK, it creates a file named "toponimia.map. Then I try to view the map "via browser" and I see a blank page, while in<br>
<br>
gvSIG 1.1.2 version, the map appears via browser.<br>
<br>
What remains to be done to be able to view the map via browser window, where I can see the files: symbols.txt and fonts.txt QGis<br>
<br>
is supposed to create.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your help<br>
<br>
