[mapserver-users] loadWeb(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (:):(line 1)

Tue May 20 13:47:02 PDT 2008

hi 

Here is how I reference paths in Mapserver under Windows:

  # this is the real filepath to the temp dir for intermediate file
creation
  IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"

THis works for me.

Kind regards,

Robert Sanson

if you can, yes, have a try to linux. But this should work on Windows
too.
it's been a long time since I haven't used MapServer on Windows, but I

remember having had problems with backslashes. Can you try doubling
them 
(ie C:\\ms4w\\Apache\\htdocs\\test.html)

Can you confirm it is still the exact same error (parsing error on line

1) ?

then, can you check your CR-LF as well ?

Hope that helps !

Guillaume
