A problem about MapServer

**nannan767** · 01-24-2012

I installed MS4W in D:/MS4W.
Added hello.map which contains following code:

Code:

NAME "Hello_World"
SIZE 400 300
IMAGECOLOR 249 245 186
IMAGETYPE png
EXTENT -1.00 -1.00  1.00 1.00
WEB
  TEMPLATE "D:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/hello.html"
  IMAGEPATH "D:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"
  IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"
END
LAYER
  STATUS default
  TYPE point
  FEATURE
    POINTS 0.0 0.0 END
    TEXT "Hello World"
  END # end feature
  CLASS
    STYLE
      COLOR 255 0 0
    END
    LABEL
      TYPE bitmap
    END
  END
END
END

And hello.html contains following code:

Code:

<html>
<head><title>MapServer Hello World</title></head>
<body>
  <form method="get" action="D:/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">
    <input type="submit" value="Click Me">
    <input type="hidden" name="map" value="D:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/hello.map">
    <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath" value="D:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/">
  </form>
  <IMG SRC="[img]" width=400 height=300 border=0>
</body>
</html>

Then I open localhost:8080/hello.html with IE, but there isn't any image displayed after I
click the "click me" button. Is there anything wrong? thx

I'm no MapServer expert, but I think it could be any number of things. Did you verify Apache is working?

I'm not sure of your setup (and find MapServer works best as a WMS server rather than the HTML templates) but do the two ms_tmps refer to the same place?
Ie. does the URL http:/localhost/ms_tmp refer to D:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/ ?

I haven't tried using MapServer on a PC host, but it might also be that the local paths should use DOS-style directory separators (back slashes rather than forward slashes).
