problematic map file

[Pagurek, Debbie]

Check your IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL. Something doesn't look quite right to
me.

In my mapfile it looks like this:
IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/" 
IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"

Your IMAGEURL should be the URL used to point to where your images are.
e.g. http://localhost/ms_tmp/blahblah.png

hopefully this helps.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] problematic map file

Hi All,

I have been trying to display a map of the world using the attached .MAP
file (also displayed below), however, this has met with limited success.

All that i have managed to display is the .HTML template, unfortunately
no
image is displayed and no error messages are displayed.

It might be a lot to ask but if you can see anything i've missed i would
really appreciate any help you can provide.

Cheers
Oliver Ishmael
