Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver can't read mapfile
Hi sorry long thread and I bet this has already been said, but here were my thoughts when I read your problems: - always test your mapfile at the commandline first, using the shp2img utility (http://mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html). Once your layers look find there in the generated map image then move to your application - if using MapServer CGI (mode=map), a blank map often means you are not specifically telling MapServer to turn on layers; try adding &LAYERS=all - or setting each of your layer's STATUS values to DEFAULT might work (but this can cause lots of trouble later, so this is not often recommended) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 2/10/2014, 11:15 AM, Stefanos Anastasiou wrote: > Hello!! > > I'am having my mapfile place in /home/mapdata folder whereas I also keep > a couple of other mapfiles too. > I'm trying to load it in the following form on the > browser: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map > > and all I get is a blank page.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver can't read mapfile
Hi, please have a look at your path: > http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map and > http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop/map I guess the first one is correct and that's why you get the error-msg with the 2nd one. So, what exactly is the result of the request http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map ? it sounds like a white image, not nothing. In this case you should check the bboxes and srs first. regards, Jörg Am 10.02.2014 16:15, schrieb Stefanos Anastasiou: > Hello!! > > I'am having my mapfile place in /home/mapdata folder whereas I also keep > a couple of other mapfiles too. > I'm trying to load it in the following form on the > browser: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map > > and all I get is a blank page.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver can't read mapfile
Hello, I can see a difference between map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map and map=/home/mapdata/pelop/map&mode=map Hopefully it is just this typo "." vs "/" Lars On 10.02.2014 16:15, Stefanos Anastasiou wrote: > Hello!! > > I'am having my mapfile place in /home/mapdata folder whereas I also keep > a couple of other mapfiles too. > I'm trying to load it in the following form on the > browser: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map > > and all I get is a blank page.

[mapserver-users] Mapserver can't read mapfile
Hello!! I'am having my mapfile place in /home/mapdata folder whereas I also keep a couple of other mapfiles too. I'm trying to load it in the following form on the browser: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map and all I get is a blank page. No errors no nothing. Then I created an html template in order to click it from there by creating a simple link (and not a from) in the following hyperlink: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop/map&mode=map> This link And I get the following error: msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. Last time this happened I was invoking Mapserver through a form but this time it's just a simple link. Why is it happening ? The weird thing is that all the other mapfiles that are seem to be working are are having the same permission settings with the current: -rw-r--r-- Thanks a lot! ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
