Hello, respected everyone, I have a problem when using Mapserver. I just using Maperver to rend an shapefile on ubuntu 12.04. but the expect image is not correctly showing, i think there maybe some problem with my mapfile set, especially with IMAGEURL define?
I use a guide in the link : http://www.gistutor.com/mapserver/3-beginner-mapserver-tutorials/7-how-to-generate-a-simple-map-using-mapserver-and-a-shapefile.html I assign the mapfile & template.html&start.html in my www DIR, which is like this: mapfiel.map: MAP NAME parcels_map STATUS ON SIZE 420 300 EXTENT 489885 5450946 490904 5451637 UNITS METERS SHAPEPATH "shapefiles" IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255 WEB TEMPLATE "template.html" IMAGEPATH "/var/www/output/" IMAGEURL "/output/" END LAYER NAME "parcel_boundaries" DATA parcels STATUS DEFAULT TYPE POLYGON CLASS NAME "parcels_color" COLOR 255 215 0 END END # end of map file END starrtmap.html: <html> <head><title>Creating a simple image using Mapserver and a Shapefile</title></head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <h2>Creating a simple image using Mapserver and a Shapefile</h2> <p><hr><p> This page simply contains a link which sends a set of instructions to the Mapserver application using a mapfile.<br /> The information stored within the mapfile tells the Mapserver application how to draw the map.<p> <!-- The following link sends the local file structure path of the mapfile to the web location of the mapserver executable file --> <A HREF="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfile.map"> Click on this link</A> to view a map generated using a Shapefile. <p><hr><p> </body> </html> template.html: <!-- MapServer Template --> <html> <head><title>Simple Mapserver Template HTML Document</title></head> <body bgcolor=#AAAAAA> <h2>The image below was illustrated based on the instructions sent in the mapfile.</h2> <!-- When using Mapserver with a template, the Mapserver application looks for the [img] tag within the template document to place the map --> <img src="/[img]" border=1> </body> </html> when I run the “http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfile.map” in my address colum. The expect map is not shown. The page is showing content of template.html expectly, but there is only a image icon , but with no picture. And the status bar in the firefox brower is showing : conecting to output .. I notice that in the var/www/output DIR, there have been some png file generated. And is the png containing the polygon in the shapefile. Every time when I click the “ http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfile.map” link, a new png file is generated in output DIR. I want to know if the IMAGEURL in the mapfile is set wrongly? Why the png is genrated correctly but not showing in the browser? Any one can help me? -- Yang Li GIS Developer P.R.China
