Paul,
You may need to define your output projection instead of using "AUTO" (I
didn't know mapserver would tolerate that in the MAP section!).
And IMAGEPATH is the file-system path to a folder writable by mapserver. Here's
an example using standard ms4w:
IMAGEPATH '\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp\'
with IMAGEURL being its web-based equivalent (the same location on disk but
access via your web server):
IMAGEURL '\ms_tmp\'
since "ms_tmp" is set as an alias in Apache's httd.conf:
Alias /ms_tmp/ "C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"
Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Hi, If anyone can help would be greatly appreciated i have been have
difficulties displaying my map in Open Layers for little while now.
I have a map file (uk.map) pulling in one layer which is a .shp file
consisting of .tiff files i created using FWTools.
However i call the .map file from my html page and the map
will not display in openlayers just a blank screen within the
Open Layers Window. Can anyone see where i am going wrong?

<script src="../lib/OpenLayers.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var lon = 5;
var lat = 40;
var zoom = 1;
var bounds = new OpenLayers.Bounds(-888385.321101, -31000.000000,
1548385.321101, 1271000.000000);
var map, layer;
function init(){
map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', {maxExtent: bounds});
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.PanZoomBar());
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MouseToolbar());
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition());
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.OverviewMap());
layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer( "OpenLayers WMS",
"http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe";, { layers: 'basic', map:
'c:/ms4w/apps/openlayers-2.5/data/uk.map' }, { gutter: 15 });
map.addLayer(layer);
map.zoomToExtent(bounds);
map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(lon, lat), zoom);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
<div id="map"></div>
</body>

Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance
