[mapserver-users] plz response immediate(msSaveImageGD(): Unable to open file for writing)

[Jérôme Martin]

Hi, when i see your error, I immediatly think you have a problem access
for temp file creation, because maybe you don't have a valid ./../temp/
folder.


So i suggest your add to your mapfile this :


IMAGEPATH "c:\temp\"


or whatever folder where you are sure the access is not restricted for
anyone.


Personally I were on Linux when i worked on mapserver, but this option
was really important when you are in embedded system, because you don't
have to access on the system, which is mapped on special memory card (no
harddrive). So we had to write on a different memory card which support
many write access by mounting it on a special folder, which were used
with the IMAGEPATH option.


regards,


Jérôme Martin
