[Mapserver-users] "mapserv(): Web application error. No template provided."

Tue Aug 26 10:36:56 EDT 2003

Greetings,

I'm new to mapserver and am trying to get mapserver 4.0 working.  I'm 
trying to run through the tutorial.  I've modified all of the paths, and 
some of the pages (for instance, s1ex1.html) work.  The rest of the 
time, tho, I get:

"mapserv(): Web application error. No template provided."

I've tried this is mapserver36 and mapserver4.  I've attached my 
mapserver configuration, the html file in question and the map file in 
question.

Any help appreciated...

Thanks
Jason

My mapserver4 configuration:

/usr/lib/cgi-bin$ ./mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP

<h3>Section 1<br>
Example 2 ? A Single Layer with Multiple Classes</h3>

<p><strong>Description:</strong><br>
   This example shows you how to create a static web map from a single 
data layer.&nbsp;
   The layer is shown with three classes, one for each state-- Michigan, 
Minnesota,
   and Wisconsin.</p>
<p>Sometimes (most of the time, actually) we like to break our data 
layer into
   logical &quot;classes&quot; based on an attribute (or set of 
attributes). Say

   we want to show each state in Big Ten college athletics colors, if 
for no other
   reason. (Apologies to Michigan State and to those who prefer maroon. Have
   a look at the map file listing to see how it's done.</p>
