[mapguide-users] MG Opensource config issues

[kenny at keniginc.com]

Thanks Kris,

We may have to form a tag team here as 2 new mg os guys. I have  
actually built a map (autodesk 6 and later 6.5) app using classic asp  
after taking  a one-day "how to program mapguide" class with no prior  
gis experience. i am trying to replicate that feat here, having not  
used .net before. i believe that once i get set up correctly, i will  
be fine from the programming side of things.

In the meantime, I uninstalled, and re-installed the entire mg os /  
studio and was still having the same problem,

It turned out that the installer configured my iis to accept  
integrated windows login credentials. As a last resort, I changed  
everything to accept annonymous login credentials and vavoom, it is  
now working. I know better now not to take for granted the word  
"Recommended".

The next challenge for me now is to know how to set drawing priorities  
for my layers because now i can see and set layer styles and  
appearance. I still don't know how to configure the map i created to  
be viewable on the lap like the sample sheboygan. But this is a step  
in the right direction.

Meanwhile, as for your current error message, I recommend you go to  
control panel, services, and see if maguide service is started. that  
was my issue when i had that problem and that was how i resolved it.

As for your
