Hi Jörg,
Thanks for your reply.
The path definitely exists, and if I set the WEB > TEMPPATH to this
folder MapServer can create the temporary .MAP files here for certain
requests.
I'm using IIS not Apache, but I have the /tmp directory set up as a
virtual directory so it accessible by the browser (I've tested a test
image can be accessed).
There are no errors in the logs (on DEBUG 5) and no mention of saving to
any output file.
Is it certain MapServer writes image files to disk still?
Regards,
Seth

Hi Seth,
are you very sure the path C:/Mapserver/apps/pms/tmp exists? Please
check. Also you can use debug-mode to see where mapserver wants to write
the image and perhaps cannot.
the directory has to be writable, but with windows this should not be a
problem.
And you have to define the alias in apache for the tmp-directory like
ALIAS /tmp C:/Mapserver/apps/pms/tmp
<Directory C:/Mapserver/apps/pms/tmp>
....
</Directory>

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
