[mapserver-users] demo on Mac X

Sun Jun 9 14:55:24 PDT 2002

Hi all i am finally busy with the map sever but
have some troubles to set the demo up
I spend now several hours to find out what is going wrong
changing directories etc
OS X keeps the web documents in
/Library/WebServer/Documents
and cgi in
/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables   with an script alias in httpd.conf 
cgi-bin

this is the terminal output ./mapserv.cgi -v

localhost:/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables] orangebo% ./mapserv.cgi -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ 
SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=GDAL 
INPUT=SHAPEFILE
[localhost:/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables] orangebo%

i get this error from the demo_init.html

msLoadMap(): Unknown identifier. (SHADESET):(6)

This is in the demo_init.html

<html>
<head><title>MapServer Demo Interface</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<center><h2>MapServer Demo Interface</h2></center>

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.cgi">

<input type="hidden" name="map" 
value="/Library/WebServer/Documents/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>

This is in the demo.map file

END
