Try removing the leading "/" from "/C:", to get:

var snippet = "IMAGEPATH 'C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/'";

Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn’t do it – same error message. I have been wondering if the problem has to do with the tmp file not having permission for other (web-based) users to access it, but I tried declaring it as a system environment variable, still no success. Going round in circles now…..

Chris,

Try snippet += " IMAGEURL '/tmp/'

    Hi All

    I have a problem that I can see has been experienced by others, but
    the advice given to those others does not fix my problem. I have
    successfully installed Map Server and Apache onto winXP using ms4W,
    and downloaded the Demo. I put the workshop-5.0 directory in the
    Apache.htdocs directory, and I have modified the index.html file and
    Itasca.map files in what seems to be a logical way.

    My problem is that when I launch the application I get the error
    message: “msSaveImageGD(): Unable to access file. Unable to open
    file /C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/ITASCA12433555452596.png for writing”. It
    seems that this is related to the way that I modified the index.html
    file, which I did as follows:

      var snippet = "IMAGEPATH '/C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/'";

            snippet += " IMAGEURL '/ms-tmp/'";

    I have been tearing my hair out for a few hours trying to see what I
    have done wrong. Anyone got any suggestions please?

    Chris Green
