hello,

a couple of newbie questions.

i haven't had anyluck setting my map_web_imagepath to anything except a =
hardcoded path like c:inetpub... etc.

is there a trick to using relative paths?

also the only way i can get mapserver to create the image files is by =
setting the security on the map_web_imagepath folder to read and write =
for anonymous internet accounts.  this seems dangerous.

finally, i have been trying to set the imagetype to swf.  mapserver =
creates the swf files but without the labels.  i am using truetype fonts =
and fy fontfile looks correct to me.

the swf files get created in the map_web_imagepath folder, but are not =
displayed.

any help is much appreciated.

thanks,

j
