[fusion-users] Fusion not finding MapServer

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi Denise,

I would suggest you to install Firebug, the wonderful Firefox extension 
who web developper (if you have not it yet). With Firefox and Firebug, 
it's really easy to see where Fusion is blocking. You can see all ajax 
request (if done) and their parameters and all scripts necessary to 
Fusion (at page loading). Then, you'll be able to check if a script have 
a 404 error, or ajax request are well made and the result of these 
requests.

About the error you had, make sure you mapserv application has the right 
permission. It must be readable (+r) AND executable (+x) from ANYONE. 
Also, make sure you have php5 and not php4. I think Fusion needs some 
php5 specific functionnality/module. If you have php4, you have probably 
an error when the ajax request of "loadmap.php " is made.

If this does'nt help you, we'll check all other possibilty and we'll 
make it works :)

Regards,
Alan
