[mapserver-users] 3.6.3 Compile problems/errors

[Steven Bowden]

Daniel,
I have got IMAGEPATH and IMAGETMP set in the map file.  Here is the
extract from my map file
WEB
  LOG /var/www/html/blis/blis.log
  IMAGEPATH "/var/www/html/tmp/"
  IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
  METADATA
    WMS_TITLE "BLIS"
    WMS_ABSTRACT "This is the BLIS (Bundaberg Land Information System)."
    WMS_ACCESSCONSTRAINTS none
  END
END

I changed the working path (/var/www/html/blis) to writable and it then
saved the tmp images to this directory even though IMAGEPATH was was set
to /var/www/html/tmp/ in the map file.

Any thoughts?
Steve

    Nothing has changed between 3.6.2 and 3.6.3 that would explain this.
    
    I see that the path to the temporary png file in the error message is
    not absolute which means that MapScript is trying to write the temp png
    file to the current working directory.  So perhaps you get this error
    because the working directory of your script (var/www/html/blis/ ?) is
    read-only.  I would suggest that you make sure that your IMAGEPATH is
    set in your mapfile and uses an absolute path to the location of your
    temporary images directory and that this directory is writable by the
    web user.
