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

[ashka fernando]

Dear Alan,

yes . the issue was with the imageurl.

 WEB
    TEMPLATE  "/var/www/tutorial/example2-1.html"
    IMAGEPATH "/var/www/tutorial/tmp/"
    IMAGEURL  "http://localhost/tutorial/tmp/"
  END

now it works !

I was worrying about the permission , as not familiar with ubuntu and failed
to identify actual error.
Thanks a lot
