Thank you all for your help here….and I am quite embarrassed as to my solution…and more importantly sorry to take up your time, although I did learn a few things. I moved everything into the map section and created a Symbol folder to hold the images and .sym files. I placed the png in the map folder (as requested by David) And it still didn’t work…looking closer I realized that the symbol name was “bike” although the image name was “bikes” one stupid ‘s’ and this results.
Although your help allowed me to move the files into the correct location, understand the connection between map file and sym file and images etc. I thank you for all your help..much appreciated From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Fawcett, David (MPCA) Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 9:20 AM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: FW: [mapserver-users] Symbology Apologies for the dup, my original response got embargoed due to the large image included… From: Fawcett, David (MPCA) Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 9:13 AM To: 'Jay Kapalczynski'; 'Bob Basques'; mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org; 'adams' Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] Symbology I think that someone else pointed out that the path to your symbol image is relative to the location of your map file. A quick test would be to drop bike.png in the same folder as your map file. Looking at your dir tree, I would move your symbol stuff out of the htdocs branch and into the area where your map files are. David.

You have any test images that are known to work? I have the image like this IMAGE 'bike.png' because the images are in the same folder as the .sym file Any other thoughts….greatly appreciated….thanks THIS WORKS CLASS NAME 'Last Week' STYLE SYMBOL "circle" COLOR 0 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 #SIZE 12 END # STYLE END # CLASS THIS DOES NOT WORK CLASS NAME 'Last Week' STYLE SYMBOL "bike" COLOR 0 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 #SIZE 12 END # STYLE END # CLASS .SYM FILE Symbol Name 'circle' Type ELLIPSE FILLED TRUE Points 1 1 END END SYMBOL NAME 'circle-dashed' TYPE ELLIPSE FILLED TRUE POINTS 1 1 END STYLE 5 5 END END SYMBOL NAME 'bike' TYPE pixmap IMAGE 'bike.png' END
