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

[Alan Boudreault]

ashka,

Have you taken a look at the image url (in the browser) ? Since the 
image path is "/var/www/tutorial/tmp" and "/var/www/" is already 
available from the web (with the default apache configuration).... the 
image url of your image should be something like 
"http://localhost/tutorial/tmp/EX2.1_12675266704111.png". The image url 
can be configured in the mapfile: http://mapserver.org/mapfile/web.html
