MessageHi Trent,

One of the obvious gotchas are (e.g.) referencing a PNG whilest =
exporting a JPEG. Stumbled over this a couple of times myself.

Have you tried copy the path from the page source into the address, =
viewing the image file directly.

It may also be a access/security problem with the webserver, although =
not very likely.

Best regards / Med venlig hilsen
Lars V. Nielsen

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

  I tried to install Mapserver and the workshop demo on my home =
workstation and everything shows up fine in the default browser, except =
the map.  I get the well known little red 'X' in the top left hand =
corner with a 'this is the map' statement next to it.  The images for =
the legend and the reference map show up fine.  All images, including =
the map image itself, is being successfully created in my tmp directory. =
 The legend and reference map are being rendered in the default browser =
correctly.

  If I click on the red 'X', maybe 2 or 3 times, an image will appear =
(although it appears those clicks have resulted in zooming in).  This =
originally appeared on mapserver 4.0, but I downloaded 4.2 and got the =
same results.  I have a map file that I have been using at work (where I =
did not have this issue) that I tried at home and I get the same kind of =
behaviour.

  I am running Windows 2000 Professional at home.  Could this be a =
browser issue?  Why would it successfully display the legend and =
reference map in my browser, but not my map image when all 3 files are =
in my tmp directory?  I do a view source on the browser page and the =
path appears to be correct to pick up the image.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Thanks,

  Trent Burton
