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.map&mode=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: ????? ?????????

I have tried every advice you gave me but stiil nothing. All the modifications i did are: 1)Check the orientation of slashes and i actually tried every possible orientation. 2)Placed the MAP keyword in the first line of .map file. 3)Tried an older version of MapServer (although there is nothing different according to the site...). Perhaps i should try it on linux? Does it make any difference at all? *test.map* MAP NAME "TEST!!!"
