[Mapserver-users] Unable to access file. set in index.html

[Swaminathan, Gayathri]

Hi:

So in your browser when you are trying to use the template, I assume you
are getting an "image not found" box...

Can ya right click or "View Source" to see if your image url appears
right? Should be something like
http://serveraddress/workshop/tmp/<imagename.png> not
http://serveraddress/./workshop/tmp/<imagename.png>

(The image url .\workshop\tmp\ does not look right to me)...

Another thing to check would be is if your "tmp" directory is published
as a virtual directory in your webserver. (but since you are saying you
get this http://serveraddress/workshop/tmp/filename.png ...that seems to
have been configured right)

I get the map I want.

I also specified in the index.html those variables:

<input type="hidden" name="map" value="..\htdocs\workshop\test.map">
      <input type="hidden" name="program" value=".\mapserv.exe">
      <input type="hidden" name="root" value="..\htdocs\workshop\">
      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath" value="E:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\workshop\tmp\">
      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl"
value=".\workshop\tmp\">

I can see that the .png files are created by mapServer in the /tmp/
directory, but when I try to use the template, hence the Initialize
button (identical to Itasca one) I get:

Content-type: text/html msReturnPage(): Unable to access file. set in
index.html 

I did try to get directly to 

http://serveraddress/workshop/tmp/filename.png

and I do get the png in the browser so I guess it's no security problem.

please help, thanks!
