need help to begin - very newbee

[Joseph Norris]

Thanks for the help David.

I am not getting anything - the browser just says done and does not show
anything.  Nothing in the error_log either.

Joseph,

What do you mean by 'dump of the map'?

Is it an image of the map (as you would expect from mode=map)?

Is it a dump of the text of the map file?

Did you get any sort of error message?

David.

I have named the executable mapserv.cgi - and it works just fine on the
demo
model that I have obtained with mapserv.  I am doing something wrong
with
the mapfile I think.

Joseph,

This may not be your entire problem, but you need to modify the URL.
I
believe that you have the wrong suffix on the name of the mapserv
binary
file.

Use this if you are on Windows:
http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/usr/local/apache/ht


docs/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/maps/cal/cal.map&mode=map


Or this if you are on 'nix:
http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/apache/ht

docs/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/maps/cal/cal.map&mode=map

David.

Hello to all,

I have successfully installed mapserver and I have the following
files:

B_Major_Cities_2.dbf
B_Major_Cities_2.prj
B_Major_Cities_2.shp
B_Major_Cities_2.shx
Country_Boundaries_3.dbf
Country_Boundaries_3.prj
Country_Boundaries_3.shp
Country_Boundaries_3.shx
Rivers_2.dbf
Rivers_2.prj
Rivers_2.shp
Rivers_2.shx
Streets_and_Railroads_1.dbf
Streets_and_Railroads_1.prj
Streets_and_Railroads_1.shp
Streets_and_Railroads_1.shx
Water_Bodies_2.dbf
Water_Bodies_2.prj
Water_Bodies_2.shp
Water_Bodies_2.shx


I have the following map file:

MAP
  IMAGETYPE GIF
  EXTENT 201621.496941 -294488.285333 1425518.020722 498254.511514
  SIZE 500 400
  SHAPEPATH "data"
  IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255


  # Start of LAYER DEFINITIONS
---------------------------------------------
  LAYER # California polygon layer begins here
    NAME "Country_Boundaries_3"
    DATA "Country_Boundaries_3"
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POLYGON

  END # States polygon layer ends here
  # End of LAYER DEFINITIONS -------------------------------
END # end of map file/object

I then do the following:

http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.cgi?map=/usr/local/apache/ht


docs/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/maps/cal/cal.map&mode=map

in my browser - but I get now dump of the map.  I have been over the
tutorial ( - please - if anyone has a more simplified tutorial - let
me
know ) but I do not see where I am in error.

Thanks to all
