[Mapserver-users] MS wont generate maps!

Sun Apr 4 18:38:31 PDT 2004

Hi All,

Can anyone please help I'm pulling my hair out here !!!

I have been developing a Mapserver Application on an XP machine... And
everything has been going great,  BUT  I am trying to migrate across to
a Windows 2000 Advanced Server machine !

Both machines are running IIS 5.0

I have set everything up in the same directories... But no matter what I
do I cant get MapServer to generate images?   I have put a LOG reference
in the .map file but the file is not created, or if I create it nothing
is added to it!

MapServer is working.... Because when I have errors in my map file or in
the url... Errors are returned.   When I submit a properly formatted
url, the template document is return with broken links for the images
(ref, legend,scalebar and img).   These link are where the images should
be.... But no images are created !!

I know I'm missing something simple... I just don't know what !!

I have tried setting IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL in the .map file or setting
MAP_WEB_IMAGEURL and MAP_WEB_IMAGEPATH nothing seems to works

PLEASE HELP !!

Many Thanks
Tom Bartlett

    This demonstration application will take you through various levels
of complexity. Starting with a basic application that
    allows a user to pan/zoom and change layers we add:
    <ul>
      <li> dynamically configured scalebars
      <li> javascript-based panning
      <li> query results to a frame
      <li> and finally, a DHTML rubber-band zoom/query capabilty
    </ul>
    The base data is the old-reliable Itasca dataset that we know and
love...
