Hi Frequens,

Yeah, my housekeeping probably leaves something to be desired. :-) I would like to have things cleaner, so I appreciate your tips.

As I've been building my system I've been using a convention of putting the source files in /usr/local which is why the Mapserver source is there. It's convenient for me but I would agree it's probably not good to mix the source and binaries in one area. What is your recommended location for source files?

Installing Cartoweb in /srv/www/htdocs/ so that the path is /srv/www/htdocs/cartoweb is a new one on me. I don't recall seeing mention of doing that, but my not doing that may also reflect my newness to entire process. I will unpack the .tgz into that directory and try again. Thanks for the suggestion!

I totally agree that having php_mapscript.po in my cartoweb htdocs directory is not the intended location. I still have something amiss in a config that I need to try to sort out. At least it's working now so I have a starting point from which to start some testing.

THANK YOU again for your patience and assistance. BTW, I have some visitors coming in today, so I may be offline for a few weeks before I can get back to this and/or reply to messages.

Best regards, Robert

Still, it looks you have got a decent mess there :-)

/usr/local/mapserver-4.8.2/mapscript/php3 is a mapserver souce/compile
directory and should not be in /usr/local

having cartoweb3 in /usr/local/ is also rather weird, the usual
location on Suse10 would be /srv/www/htdocs/carto.....

php_mapscript.so in the cartoweb3 web directory
/usr/local/cartoweb3/htdocs is also unusual and generally means your
mapscript is only available to cartoweb

I would suggest sorting things out nice/clean/tidy as the problems
usually pile up next time.
With multiple versions of files lying around, you are on the road.
