[mapserver-users] Mapplet problem - first time user (FWD)

[Kralidis, Tom]

Hi,

The "image" parameter tag of the applet contains a hostname which is not
kosher.

Do you have the right hostname to your box?  You can use the "[host]"
MapServer variable in your template.

Also, if you are accessing remote layers, applets cannot access resources
from outside the machine on which they are hosted.

Hope this helps.

..Tom
