[mapserver-users] Mapserver in ubuntu: not displaying map

Dear all,

I am trying to run Mapserver in Ubuntu Karmic Koala. I have successfully
used Mapserver in windows and now want to migrate to ubuntu . But I'm very
much new to ubuntu and struggle to get the work done smoothly.

The Mapserver and Apache both are running ,works fine as localhost.
I can get a map in map mode ( based on map server tutorial examples) but
failed to get the map display in the browse mode.

There is no error massage and the web template is displaying with all
components except the map image. The map images are created inside the tmp
folder however they are not displayed in the template interface.

I think its due to permission issues but failed to solve it, even after
going through forums.

The locations of the templete and map files are /var/www/tutorial
The location of the image path /var/www/tutorial/tmp

For /var/www/tutorial/tmp permissions are as follows
drwxrwsr-x 2 gisuser www-data  4096 2010-03-02 16:14 tmp

when the new map images are created by the mapserver , the image files have
permissions like this
-rwxrwxr-- 1 www-data www-data 11686 2010-03-02 16:14
EX2.1_12675266704111.png


Why doesn't these map images are not displaying in the web template file?

Can anyone suggest a way to solve this issue?

This may be rather relate to running Apache in Ubuntu. As failed to get any
help from ubuntu forum, compelled to ask help from you all.
appreciate any help .

ashka
