[fusion-users] Demo works in HostLinux but not Ubuntu 8.04 Server

[Paul Deschamps]

Your problem is right there in your config.

      /* A directory on this system that fusion can use for
         temporary files. */
      "temporaryDirectory": "/tmp"

should be:

      "temporaryDirectory": "/etc/apache2/tmp"

also look at the image path and imageURL values.

      "imagePath": "/tmp/ms_tmp",
      /* The URL to the image path configured above. */
      "imageUrl": "http://localhost/tmp/ms_tmp",
      /* The file system path to where mapserver should put
          web-accessible temporary legend images. */
      "legendIconCacheDir":"/tmp/ms_
>
> tmp"



Cheers
