My guess is that you are using MapServer 5.x and the book was written for < 5.x
If you call your mapfile in mode=map, it will still work, that points to the html template. With 5.0, the variable names used for substitution have changed. You will need to edit the hidden variables in your template. Take a look at this post for more info. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg15557.html David. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Katja Loeffler Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 1:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mapserver-users] Newby Question - hello world Hi there, in the "Beginning Mapserver" book there is an example which should only display a box showing "Hello Map" Well, although I have other examples (not from that book) that do run, I don't get this one running ... *sigh* The error I get is loadWeb(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (/var/www/tmp/):(line 1) I have no clue *awk*. I googled around but afterwards I still had no clue ... The mapfile looks like this: # This is our "Hello World" mapfile NAME "Hello World" SIZE 400 300 IMAGECOLOR 249 245 186 IMAGETYPE png EXTENT -1.0 -1.0 1.0 1.0 WEB TEMPLATE "/var/www/mapserver/hello/hello.html" IMAGEPATH "/var/www/tmp/" IMAGEURL "/tmp/" END LAYER STATUS default TYPE point FEATURE POINTS 0.00 0.00 END TEXT "Hello World" END # end feature CLASS STYLE COLOR 255 0 0 END LABEL TYPE bitmap END END END END The hello.html like this: <html> <head> <title>MapServer Hello World</title></head> <body> <form method=POST action="/cgi-bin/mapserv"> <input type="submit" value="Click Me"> <input type="hidden" name="map" value="/home/mapdata/hello.map"> <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath" value="/var/www/tmp/"> </form> <IMG SRC="[img]" width=400 height=300 border=0> </body> </html> Thanks in advance!
