[mapserver-users] newbie question :

Did you download the demo data for version 3.4 or 3.5?  It sounds like you
might have downloaded the latest (3.5) version and some of the settings are
different and won't work the same with mapserver 3.4.

Hi

I've installed mapserver 3.4 on linux machine running Suse 7.2
Every things works perfectly well. When I run
http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv,
I've got the following answer : No query information to decode.
QUERY_STRING is
set, but empty.
If I understand well it means that mapserver is correctly installed
Am I right ?

I've downloaded the demo. When I run the demo_init.html I can see the fisrt
window and when I click on the initialize button I can see the demo
interface
but not the map.
When I look in the directory where I put the mapserver demo I can see that
the
DEMO1215465488.gif has been created.
So why can I can't see the gif file in my browser ?

My demo.map  :
#
# Start of map file
#

IMAGEPATH "/home/site_intranet/mapserver/ms_demo/"
 #IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
#IMAGEURL "/ms_demo/"
    # LOG "demo.log"
END and the rest of the file

My demo_init.html :

<html>
<head><title>MapServer Demo Interface</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<center><h2>MapServer Demo Interface</h2></center>
<p><hr><p>
Click on the initialize button to fire up the demo with 3 layers turned on
will
be accessible for browsing. The
data are of Itasca County, MN and were derived, for the most part, from
USGS
1:24,000 quadrangles. Some things to note are:
<form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/home/site_intranet/mapserver/ms_demo/demo.map">
<input type="hidden" name="layer" value="lakes">
<input type="hidden" name="layer" value="streams">
<input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>
<center><input type="submit" value="Initialize"></center>
</form>
<p><hr><p>
</body></html>

Any suggestions  ?

TIA
