Hi list,

Until now I have been using MapServer as a WMS server. I've only recently been trying out the CGI controls, which would be very handy for a reporting application.

The MapServer tutorials refer several times to saving temporary images using the mode=browse. At http://demo.mapserver.org/tutorial/section3.html the map images generated in these tutorials refer to image files on the web server (so are not generated dynamically). E.g. http://demo.mapserver.org/ms_tmp/EX1.9_141873269321745.png

I've tried to set this up in MapServer 6.4 without success. I've set up parameters in the WEB section as follows:

    WEB
        IMAGEPATH "C:/Mapserver/apps/pms/tmp"
        # Also tried "tmp/"
        IMAGEURL "tmp/"
        TEMPLATE "reports/test.html"

However no images are ever created in this folder when using a request such as http://localhost/mapserver/?LAYERS=mylayer&mode=browse <https://localhost/mapserver/?LAYERS=mylayer&mode=browse> The template contains file names such as tmp/MyMap14187343292752.png but these never seem to be written to disk. How can these images be persisted? I know I could use mode=map to generate an image, but I want to create legends etc. all with a single request.

Regards,

Seth
