[mapserver-users] Web application error. Malformed template name

Tue Aug 16 14:19:54 EDT 2011

An absolute path did not help.  I increased MapServer Debug to 5 and I still don't get any more information.  Is there a way to track down where exactly the problem is happening?  I thought by creating the view to remove the multiple records by waterbody this would remove this error (so it wouldn't get more than one result from the URL request), but no such luck. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Dara, 

  I am pretty sure that relative paths work for templates, but for testing purposes, try using the absolute path to the template.

  It is below.  I am running a web mapping site with GeoMoose(2.0) and MapServer(5.2.1), but I can't seem to find a way to figure out what I am doing wrong or why I am ending up with the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Miigwech!

    Dara, 

    Can you share the part of your mapfile that describes this layer?  

    David.

    Good morning. I am having some problems identifying a layer through MapServer and I seem to be stuck.  

    I have a flat table of harvest by waterbody by year by individual in PostgreSQL/PostGIS. I created a "temporary view" of the sum harvested by waterbody by year and joined in geometry which I then made into a crosstab so that each lake would be listed and columns across with harvest by year.  It draws successfully in my web mapping application (and view looks fine in postgres), but when I try to use the Identify feature on the website (Mapserver GET URL request) I get the following error in MapServer, 

    [Fri Aug 12 09:57:33 2011].687000 msReturnPage(): Web application error. Malformed template name ().
    [Fri Aug 12 09:57:33 2011].703000 msQueryByPoint(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s) found.

    Before doing the crosstab I was getting this error, but I assumed that it didn't like the multiple records linked to the same geometry and that's why I did the crosstab.  But still nothing works.

    Does anyone have any idea of where to begin to debug?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
