[mapserver-users] getSymbol (): Symbol definition error.

[Francesc Cañas]

Hello, I want to publish a Mapserver layer with OpenLayers but I generated
the following error when opening it with
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe

The error is:

getSymbol (): Symbol definition error. Error Parsing near (Cartoline) (line
26) msOutputFormatValidate (): General error message. Png OUTPUTFORMAT you
IMAGEMODE RGB / RGBA, Which is not supported for GD drivers.

Indeed reading the mapserver site found that only accepts PC256 GD so I
changed:

OUTPUTFORMAT
Png NAME
DRIVER 'GD / PNG'
MIMETYPES 'image / png'
PC256 IMAGEMODE
EXTENSION 'PNG'
END

And now the only mistake: getSymbol (): Symbol definition error. Error
Parsing near (Cartoline) (line 26)

And here if you already know why I can not. The line 26 is this: DRIVER 'GD
/ PNG'

The most curious is that with the beta version 3.0.1 MS4W (the have a
partner) layer if it can be displayed, but with 3.0.3, which is what I have,
I get these errors.

I've read in another forum that changing the .sym and add a # in all
cartoline symbols, it works. I've tried it and then the message error is: 

msSaveImage(): Unable to access file. Failed to create output file
(/tmp/Projectes Cat13275775744636.png).
I'm getting crazy.

tutorials. The whole code is this:
