[Mapserver-users] Map IMage Not Appearing (Newbie)

Scott -

How do you define "appropriate permissions" for your tmp directory?
Have you checked that the IUSR_<machinename> anonymous account has WRITE
access to it in Explorer AND under IIS?

I have installed MS 4 and PHP_Mapscript on a Windows XP Pro machine,
running IIS
5 and PHP 4.3.6. I also installed php_gd2. All of these work correctly.

When I point my browser to the mapserv executable, it works as
documented (returning "No query information to decode...).

I downloaded and installed the demo package named "Workshop". My first
attempt to use it failed as it could not find the map, so I modified
index.html to use a Windows directory path. The map reference now points
to:
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\itasca.map". Once I made the change, the
map page
(itasca_basic.html) does appear. However, there are no images on the
page: the map image, the scalebar image, and the legend image are all
missing.

In index.html I changed the map_web_imagepath to a Windows path:
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\tmp\". This directory does exist and has
appropriate permissions. But no luck here.

In itasca.map I changed the SHAPEPATH to a Windows path:
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\data\". This resulted in no change.

I have reviewed the installation instructions for both MapServer and
MapScript, and have browsed this list...but I seem to be stuck at this
point.

Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated.


Scott
