SLD pointsymbolizer externalgraphic trouble

Tue Jul 26 17:56:07 EDT 2005

My maps returns fine with a simple getmap request.

The tmp directory is set to c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp

Is there a way to check that mapserver is writing to that directory? Ie if I use mode=map, should it leave a temporary file there? Mode=map is giving me a map, but isn't leaving a file in that temp directory.

I am not sure why It is not working for you. I basically took your 
mapfile and change few paths to adapt  to my settings. The map file 
points to the gmap-ms40 data. The sld I used is basically yours (I don't 
think I modified anything). I have attached both files.

There are no nightly builds although I can put a mapserver 4.7 cvs 
version on maptools if you need.

Should not matter. It is not used.

  Is your map returned with a somple getmap rquest without an sld ?

  I am also assuming that the temporaary directory and path are set 
properly in the map file (since the graphic is downloaded and copied in 
that directory)
