[Mapserver-users] map file permission denied

Nick -

Congrats!  Nice job.  It's pretty frustrating to work through those problems where the error message says "look over here!" and the problem's "over there!"

Well, apparently both image and points are some kind of reserved words that 
you shouldn't use for layer names.  I changed both of them, and now the map
