Can anyone help me debug this. I am looking to simply pull a logo onto my
report with this code...
<fo:external-graphic src="http://epndev0006/Logo_Plain.gif"/>
this error is being output from FOP...
[ERROR]: Error while creating area : Error with image URL:
http://epndev0006/Logo_Plain.gif and no base directory is specified.
The image is in the correct directory and everything is spelled correctly.
The image resides in the root of my wwwroot folder and I can hit it with a
browser by typing the above URL.
I experimented a bit and it seems the image cannot be loaded.
Check your IIS logs for the reason.
As for it showing up in a browser: Are the browser and FOP
running on the same machine? Are there proxies between your
machine and the server? Can you sucessfully retrieve the
image with a command line tool like wget?
And of course, there may lurk spelling problems, you should
cut&paste the URL into the browsers location field.
