[Mapserver-users] RED 'X' - This is the map - Image not appearing

[Pericles S. Nacionales]

Hi!  Can you share your mapfile and html template?  Does your web
server's access and error logs say anything?  Did you compile the
MapServer binary or downloaded from somewhere?  What browser are you
using?  Did you try it with another browser?

The red X means that your browser is unable to read the image--either
it's not there or your web user account doesn't have permission to read
it, or...  Can you also check the properties of your image and make sure
that the extension (say, .png) correspond with the image type (PNG and
not GIF)?
