[mapserver-users] Help With Interactice Mapserver Applications

[Michael Mio]

Hi everyone. I am a relatively new Mapserver user and could use some help on
a few things. I am having a hard time getting my Mapserver applications to
be interactive. I've found some tutorials online but none of them seem to
explain that parts that I need explaining. Lots of the applications I've
come across have an interface with a map that you can click on, some toggle
buttons, layers you can turn on and off, and then a refresh/query submit
button. I am wondering what exactly happens when that submit button is
clicked. I guess those values are sent to the Mapserver application and then
Mapserver outputs a new map based on those parameters? I kind of understand
the .map and template files and how they work, and I have been able to get a
page up with some layers showing and some options to choose from. However
when I click submit, I get the message saying the page cannot be found. Is
there another file I need to make or something? It seems that I am missing a
step here. I hope this email makes sense to all of you. Thanks for your time
and help. I look forward to hearing from someone!
