Some more info regarding the strange problem of php using long time to finish rendering page...
Used Wget to demonstrate what is happening: C:\Wget>wget http://avsdi:81/test.php --10:16:59-- http://avsdi:81/test.php => `test.php.3' Connecting to avsdi:81... connected! HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: unspecified [text/html] 0K -> 10:17:00 (86.91 KB/s) - `test.php.3' saved [89] In this call the page is finished rendered in about 1 second... I have not enabled any Postgis or WMS layeres... C:\Wget>wget http://avsdi:81/test.php --10:17:06-- http://avsdi:81/test.php => `test.php.4' Connecting to avsdi:81... connected! HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: unspecified [text/html] 0K -> 10:17:12 (18.00 B/s) - `test.php.4' saved [90] In this call the page is finished rendered in about 6 second... Here a Postgis layer is enabled. I can see that the MS picture is created in my tmp folder before the page is finished rendering...so the problem is the "extra" time the page "hangs". Have also tested on a different computer, so I do not think this is a local problem...

If you set "STATUS ON" directly in the mapfile then does it hang as well? If yes then that at least tells us that the problem has nothing to do with the set("status", 1) call. Oh wait... those symptoms are similar to what we had in ticket #458 (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/458) ... do you use DEBUG TRUE in your mapfile with MS_ERRORFILE "stderr"? If yes then perhaps try disabling it and see if that makes a difference. Daniel -- Daniel Morissette http://www.mapgears.com/
