Re: [mapserver-users] browse mode no longer saves images?
Hello again, A few more tests with no luck in saving the images to disk on the server. Does anyone save images to the server using 6.4? It works fine on the examples at http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/mapserv? but these use MapServer 5.6.5 This applies to [img], [scalebar], [legend] even though unique filenames are generated in the template output e.g. img src=/tmp/PMS1418817695480.png img src=/tmp/PMSsb1418817695480.png img src=/tmp/PMSleg1418817695480.png I've tried running from the command line to rule out the web server: mapserv -nh QUERY_STRING=map=C:/MapServer/apps/pms/mymap.mapLAYERS=Testmode=browse I also tried to create a new OUTPUTFORMAT to use, setting it explicitly to use the filesystem (although I'm not sure if this only applies to OGR formats): OUTPUTFORMAT NAME 'png2' DRIVER GDAL/PNG MIMETYPE image/png EXTENSION png IMAGEMODE RGBA #All features are rendered against an initially transparent background.

Re: [mapserver-users] browse mode no longer saves images?
Thanks Steve. I persevered knowing it was still a valid use case. Turns out it was a simple error / misunderstanding on my part. I've had the MAP STATUS set to OFF for years, and always accessed layers using WMS/WFS/GeoJSON. It seems in CGI mode this means no map image is ever created (even when specifying layers to show). The map did appear in mode=map however, just not mode=browse. Seth On 17/12/2014 17:22, Lime, Steve D (MNIT) wrote: I'm able to save images using 6.4.1.

Re: [mapserver-users] browse mode no longer saves images?
Years ago I had apps where a map came from another service but I wanted to frame that map with MapServer-generate elements such as a scalebar and reference map. Hence the ability to set STATUS OFF.

Re: [mapserver-users] browse mode no longer saves images?
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?
