[mapserver-users] MapServer Demo

Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't do it - same error message. I
have been wondering if the problem has to do with the tmp file not having
permission for other (web-based) users to access it, but I tried declaring
it as a system environment variable, still no success. Going round in
circles now...

Chris, 

 

Try snippet += " IMAGEURL '/tmp/'

Hi All

 

I have a problem that I can see has been experienced by others, but the
advice given to those others does not fix my problem. I have successfully
installed Map Server and Apache onto winXP using ms4W, and downloaded the
Demo. I put the workshop-5.0 directory in the Apache.htdocs directory, and I
have modified the index.html file and Itasca.map files in what seems to be a
logical way. 

 

My problem is that when I launch the application I get the error message:
"msSaveImageGD(): Unable to access file. Unable to open file
/C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/ITASCA12433555452596.png for writing". It seems that
this is related to the way that I modified the index.html file, which I did
as follows:

 

  var snippet = "IMAGEPATH '/C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/'";

        snippet += " IMAGEURL '/ms-tmp/'";

 

I have been tearing my hair out for a few hours trying to see what I have
done wrong. Anyone got any suggestions please?
