[mapserver-users] loadWeb(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/):(line 1)

Tue Oct 20 08:26:08 EDT 2009

Hi,

are you using a mapserver version 5+? I guess the problem is then,
that the cgi syntax to modify map parameters has changed from version
4. The culprit could be the form element "map_web_imagepath" in your
helloworld.html. Try it without this element.

Read on about changing map files parameters via URL here:
http://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html#changing-map-file-parameters-via-a-form-or-a-url

BTW: I thought the map parameter in helloworld.html needs the full
path, i.e. on windows it should read
"c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/helloworld.map"

Cheers, Michael
