I've created a mapfile using qGiS and when i run mapfile on the mapserver it gives me this error:

loadSymbolSet(): Unable to access file. (./symbols/symbols.txt)

Either make sure that you've got a valid symbols file at that path, or comment out that line of your map-file if you don't need it for labels in your map.

The map-file wizard does not produce a complete, ready-to-run map-file. It does most of the tedious layer-related stuff, but you must still edit the map-file to ensure that projections and paths and other details are valid. At least that has been my experience.


James is right that you might have to edit your mapfile by hand to remove these problems; however the QGIS Export to Mapfile tool is improving with each release. They also need feedback on their tool, so you can let them know your testing results through their qgis-users email list (join at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user).

If you need a symbols.txt file, you can search this archive and use its symbols.txt file to start: http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/gmap_ms4w_ms5.zip
