Hello,
I have a layer of streets which I am trying to label in mapscript. I =
have labelled them with a mapfile in mapserver. Although not perfect =
label do show up in mapserver. However when I copy the related parts of =
the mapserver mapfile into mapscripts mapfile, mapscript doesnot render =
image. (it used to render without the labelling stuff)
Is there a difference between the labelling of mapserver and mapscript.
I installed mapserver and mapscript by rpms Their versions are:

mapserver-3.6.0-4
php-mapscript-3.6.0-4

The phpinfo_mapscript shows:

MapScript Version ($Revision: 1.104 $ $Date: 2002/04/24 20:37:32 $)
MapServer version 3.6.0 OUTPUT=3DGIF OUTPUT=3DPNG OUTPUT=3DJPEG =
OUTPUT=3DWBMP SUPPORTS=3DTTF INPUT=3DTIFF INPUT=3DEPPL7 INPUT=3DJPEG =
INPUT=3DSHAPEFILE

The mapfile of mapscript was this and it rendered image:

LAYER
  NAME ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline
  GROUP sokaklar
  TYPE line
  DATA ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline
  STATUS ON
  CLASSITEM 'ID'
  CLASS
        EXPRESSION /./
   COLOR 66 34 249
  END

END

I replaced it with this (that worked with mapserver):

LAYER
  NAME ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline
  TYPE line
  GROUP sokaklar
  STATUS ON
  DATA ERENKOY_ORNEKSOKAK_PL_polyline
  LABELITEM "ADI"
  CLASS
    NAME "ADI"
    COLOR 161 02 110
    LABEL
      TYPE truetype
#      FORCE true
      FONT arial
      COLOR 0 0 0
        ANGLE AUTO
 #     BACKGROUNDCOLOR 250 250 250
      POSITION AUTO
        SIZE 0
        MINSIZE 2
      SIZE 8
    END
  END
END

Now only page title shows up, not image produced :(

Can anybody help please?
