tutorial problem

[Pericles S. Nacionales]

Since you are using MS4W, you should change your IMAGEPATH to 
"C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/" and your IMAGEURL to "/ms_tmp/".  Don't forget to 
include the trailing slashes.  You'll notice that the IMAGEPATH points to 
your local directory while the IMAGEPATH points to the Apache Alias directory 
(or virtual directory in IIS parlance).

MapServer dumps the output map to the IMAGEPATH and uses IMAGEURL to reference 
it for HTML template output.  If you ran example 1.9 correctly, you will 
noticec that the "[img]" tag in the HTML template has been replaced with 
"/ms_tmp/<ms_generated_map.png>".

Lastly, note that you no longer call example 1.9 as 
http://localhost/tutorial/example1-9.html (this is probably what you did). 
Instead you pass example1-9.html to the MapServer CGI program by calling 
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv50?map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/example1-9.map.  
Example1-9.html is no longer a plain web page but a MapServer HTML template.

Good luck!
