[Mapserver-users] Installation of MapServer

[Michael Schulz]

Hi,

this is likely to happen when the image path and image url parameters of
your web section in the mapfile are not correct.
Image path holds the filesystem path to a directory that is writable by
the user the webserver runs as (and where the map, legend and scalebar
images are created) and image url is the url to access this path through
your webserver.

If your are using the mapserver itasca demo, you have to change the
demo_init.html file and change the values of the hidden input parameters
map_web_imagepath and map_web_imageurl.

Cheers, Michael
