Léo,

First, I'd volunteer that you have incorrect paths - using ~ probably isn't going to work unless the webserver is running as you (unlikely, but possible)

I'm assuming from what you have that your system looks like (and your user is called macbook) :

Sites
  |
  +---mapserver
          |
          +----- introduction
          |         |
          |         +----- test.map
          |         |
          |         +----- shape
          |                  |
          |                  +----- europe.shp etc
          |
          +----- temp
          |
          +----- test.php

> $map = ms_newMapObj("~/macbook/Sites/mapeserver/introduction/test.map");

probably then should be :

$map = ms_newMapObj("introduction/test.map");

> SHAPEPATH "~/macbook/Sites/mapserver/introduction/shape/"

probably then should be :

SHAPEPATH "/Users/macbook/Sites/mapserver/introduction/shape/"

>  IMAGEPATH '~/macbook/Sites/mapeserver/temp/'

probably then could be :

 IMAGEPATH 'temp/'

>  IMAGEURL  '/temp/'

should then work.

You also need to make the temp/ directory writeable by the webserver - for now, I'd just Get Info on the directory, and make that directory write and read by anyone - security risk blah, but for now, just get it working.

Then open your Console (in Utilities) and navigate down to FILES > /private/var/log > apache2 > error_log

if you have error logging turned on in php.ini, this will help you enough to find out what is going wrong.

If you are really stuck I'd go with Daniel's suggestion on turning on debugging in mapserver, which you will need to do while you are learning, but for now just the apache error log should get you started.

Good luck.

cheers

Ben
