Here is my index.html file.

   <form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">
      <INPUT type="hidden" name="map"
value="/wwwroot/M_Mirrlees_Assign4/global.map">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="layer" value="provinces">

http://localhost/maps/M_Mirrlees_Assign4/ is what I type in my internet
browser to launch my map.

Thanks,

Post the whole index.html here and give me what you are putting into your
browser to show the index.html

Ok so I've tried both ways and they both output another box. However this
time with an X in the corner. See attached. 

Thanks,
Mark

Try:

<img src="/wwwroot/M_Mirrlees_Assign4\bos.gif" width="150" height="100">

Or if "wwwroot" really is the web root:

<img src="/M_Mirrlees_Assign4\bos.gif" width="150" height="100">

Hi there,

Ok I figured that part out! Thanks! Your a lifesaver! I have one other
question I'm trying to add images (gif files) to my index.html file.

When I place this code into my html file it neglects to show the image...

<img src="file:/wwwroot/M_Mirrlees_Assign4\bos.gif" width="150"
height="100">

It shows a white box with a black like square in the corner (see
image)...not sure what i'm missing...any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] output issues (malformed template name)

Hi,

The immediate reason for the error  is that you do not have a referred
template file in your system

TEMPLATE 'fooOnlyForWMSGetFeatureInfo'

For correcting this error you must change TEMPLATE to refer to something
that exists. The template file must contain at least the magic string
'mapserver template' in the first line of the template
http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/template.html

However, I have a feeling that this will not be enough for making your
application to launch. If this happens, please tell a bit more about your
application, how it works and what happens when you press the launch button.
And absolutely add

CONFIG "MS_ERRORFILE" "c:\good_errorfile_path_for_you.txt" and

DEBUG 5 into your mapfile.  This way you will get much valuable information
into the errorfile. Comment out the DEBUG line once everything works
perfectly for you.

The PyQgis MapServer Export plugin should really be fixed. At least it
should write the "wms_enable_request" metadata item. Now it does not and no
mapfile created with QGis will work for WMS without editing. Plugin is also
using the deprecated TRANSPARENCY and I  would rather see PROJECTION blocks
to use "init=epsg:xxxx" but that  may not be so important.  I am not sure it
the plugin writes always SYMBOLSET "/wwwroot/symbols/symbols.sty" and uses
SYMBOL "circle" in some type of classes but if it does it can also lead to
not working mapfiles.  Is there anything else to complain? I can make a QGis
feature request once I have collected the most important things to correct
and checked that they have not been corrected already.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a new map and it is causing me some output issues.

When I click my launch button to start the application it comes up with this
message

Content-type: text/html msReturnPage(): Web application error. Malformed
template name (fooOnlyForWMSGetFeatureInfo). 

I have attached my mapfile and I do apologize for the length of it.

I'm not sure what's wrong in the map file! Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark
