[mapserver-users] php-mapscript problem and symbolname trying to open a file?

[Ben Madin]

G'day all,

I'm not sure if this is two problems, or the second problem is a result of the first. The second problem is that I have a mapfile with multiple sections that look like :

   CLASS
      NAME "Sentinel Positive"
      EXPRESSION "SentPos"
      STYLE
        ANGLE 0
        COLOR 220 20 40
        OFFSET 0 0
        SIZE 8
        SYMBOL "circle"
      END # STYLE
    END # CLASS
 

where symbol is :

 SYMBOL # 1
  NAME 'circle'
  TYPE ELLIPSE
  POINTS 1 1 END
  FILLED TRUE
END


and when I try to open it, I get :

# shp2img -m nampa4f2267cb1afaed507c167efa264946dBLU.map -o test.png
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'BLU'. <br>
msLoadMSRasterBufferFromFile(): General error message. unable to open file /usr/local/www/apache22/data/system/mapserver/maps/tmpmapfiles/./circle for reading <br>


I know that SYMBOL can be a name (in the symbol file) or a filename, but clearly it is getting confused.

The first problem is that this file is one of several that is meant to be generated by a looping structure in php-mapscript, and I am getting :

[Fri Jul 06 18:08:13 2012] [notice] child pid 74615 exit signal Abort trap (6)
Assertion failed: (pixmap->type == MS_BUFFER_BYTE_RGBA), function agg2RenderPixmapSymbol, file mapagg.cpp, line 464.
[Fri Jul 06 18:08:57 2012] [notice] child pid 74300 exit signal Abort trap (6)


errors when I try to build the layers (this is the only one that builds). I'm a little short on ideas as to where to go next.

this is :

MapServer version 6.0.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

cheers
