Ryan,

It sounds to me like the URL that points to your "tmp" directory may not =
be correct. When you click on the map, and everything disappears, take a =
look at your source (in the HTML). See what the URL for the image looks l=
ike. Try specifying the full URL (http://host/tmp) rather than a relative=
=20path in your mapfile.
=20
That's my best guess.

I followed some steps that I found on the net but mapserver is still not
working.  The first time it loads, it seem to load perfect but as soon as=
=20I
click on something I lose all my images.  I can't refresh either cause wh=
en
I try to the images are gone again.  I can't do anything with the map.

I think that the url parameters are correct because I can easily navigate=
=20to
it and the /tmp/ seems right because gifs get written to the directory bu=
t I
just can't see them.

When I installed the MapServer CGI I was supposed to get a message saying=

"No query information to decode.  QUERY_STRING is set, but empty"  I get =
the
message "No query information to decode.  QUERY_STRING is not set". =20

I'm using IIS ver. 5.1 and I set all my virtual directories and
stuff......but still a no go.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ryan
