Hi! Did you resolve this issue? I have seen something similar when the mapfile is encoded with wrong character set. Have you tried saving the file as ANSI or UTF-8?

Re: [mapserver-users] loadWeb(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (:):(line 1)
if you can, yes, have a try to linux. But this should work on Windows too. it's been a long time since I haven't used MapServer on Windows, but I remember having had problems with backslashes. Can you try doubling them (ie C:\\ms4w\\Apache\\htdocs\\test.html) Can you confirm it is still the exact same error (parsing error on line 1) ? then, can you check your CR-LF as well ?

Hi: [mapserver-users] loadWeb(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near(:):(line 1)
Hi, I copy-pasted your mapfile from this message (between MAP and END), stored it on my hard disk and had a try with MS4W with the following URL: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/ms4w/apps/maps/test.mapmode=map I received a yellowish box on browser with Hello World text on it. Thus your mapfile and operating system is OK for this task. There must be something very little teasing you at the moment, but I trust that you will do it. Are you totally sure that you do not have anything extra, like ':' in the first line of your mapfile, as the error message suggests? -Jukka Rahkonen- -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: [EMAIL PROTECTED] puolesta: ? ?
