[mapserver-users] browse mode no longer saves images?

[geographika]

Hello again,

A few more tests with no luck in saving the images to disk on the server.
Does anyone save images to the server using 6.4? It works fine on the 
examples at http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/mapserv? but these use 
MapServer 5.6.5

This applies to [img], [scalebar], [legend] even though unique filenames 
are generated in the template output e.g.

<img src="/tmp/PMS1418817695480.png">
<img src="/tmp/PMSsb1418817695480.png">
<img src="/tmp/PMSleg1418817695480.png">

I've tried running from the command line to rule out the web server:

mapserv -nh 
"QUERY_STRING=map=C:/MapServer/apps/pms/mymap.map&LAYERS=Test&mode=browse"

I also tried to create a new OUTPUTFORMAT to use, setting it explicitly 
to use the filesystem (although I'm not sure if this only applies to OGR 
formats):

     OUTPUTFORMAT
         NAME 'png2'
         DRIVER "GDAL/PNG"
         MIMETYPE "image/png"
         EXTENSION "png"
         IMAGEMODE RGBA #All features are rendered against an initially 
transparent background.
         FORMATOPTION "STORAGE=filesystem"
     END

And then from the command line:

mapserv -nh 
"QUERY_STRING=map=C:/MapServer/apps/pms/mymap.map&LAYERS=Bridges&mode=browse&QFORMAT=png2&SAVEQUERY=true"


The logs show the following (with debug set to 5) with no errors:

[Wed Dec 17 11:55:42 2014].367000 CGI Request 1 on process 2272
[Wed Dec 17 11:55:42 2014].382000 mapserv request processing time 
(msLoadMap not incl.): 0.015s
[Wed Dec 17 11:55:42 2014].382000 msFreeMap(): freeing map at 
0000000002A3A870
