Dear all,
I would like to use mapserver to produce simple maps, basically to be
included into an html page through the <img> tag.
The problem is that I seem to 'hang' mapserv.exe when accessing through
the
web.
I am using Tomcat 4 standalone as my web server.
I have created a MapServer webapp inthe Tomcat WebApps directory, and in
the web.xml I have enabled the cgi-servlet.
I have installed the mapserver software in the
webapps\MapServer\WEB-INF\cgi directory and set the url pattern to cgi-bin
So far so good..
If I type the url of the mapserv.exe, it works, in the sense that I get
the
correct error message. So I AM talking to mapserv.exe through HTTP
I have then downloaded and installed the demo. I have with some trial and
error edited all the paths in the demo-init.html.
When I click on the init button, the browser just sits there. I CAN
however
see the .GIF files being produced on the server, but i get nothing back,
no
error, nothing, just a blank page and a little whirling globe (yes I use
IE...)
So I am almost there but something is not working....
When I try to produce a map through the URL directly (using my own data)
it
behaves the same way. Whenever I make a mistake in the filenames it gives
me an error, so ok, i AM talking to the program, but when I type
http://myserver/MapServer/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=SoDa/soda.map&mode=map
I get nothing but a waiting browser...
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Erik
