[mapserver-users] Template Substitution not working. MapServ 5.6.0

How are you accessing the template? What's the call to MapServer look like?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Template Substitution not working. MapServ 5.6.0

Hi,

I am unable to get Template Substitution working in HTML files.

The HTML template has a   line at the very top.

The Map file works fine - the images are being generated in my tmp directory.  But the HTML file returned to the browser, doesn't have any of the of the substitution variables actually substituted - so I get things like [img], [version] in the returned HTML.

My install is a FGS Ver 9.5 package, installed onto RHEL 5.2.
Mapserv Version is 5.6.0
Apache 2.2.11 (as per FGS version check)

Can anyone help please?  (Thanks In Advance!)

My template file is accessed by an initial form to set the query parameters
