[Mapserver-users] Symbol - GIF pixmap - parsing problem

[Jenu Abraham]

thanks
Got this problem fixed..
I am using windows 2003 server..

i had checked all the permissions and it did have full control ..
but  stilll it was showing that error...

The problem was..the image should have the allow inheritable permission 
checked...I dont know why this is necessary.

cheers
jenu
