[Mapserver-users] MapLab 2.1 -rc3 installation problems.

[Zak James]

Can you provide some additional information?

What web browser are you using to view the map browser?

Can you check that the fonts file referenced by your map is present? 
Also, make sure that any fonts required by the layers in your map file 
are referenced in that fonts file.

If all of that looks ok, you can try making the paths to the symbol and 
fonts files in the map absolute rather than relative (e.g. ./data would 
become /<maplab-dir>/data). On some platforms, Mapserver 4.0 has 
problems with relative paths.

Ideally, these problems would result in more instructive error 
messages. We hope to be able to address that before the final release 
of 2.1.
