Hi Deb, If I had to guess, I bet that tutorial that you are using is very very old, and the templates you are using from it will likely not work as-is with more recent versions of MapServer (e.g. "error line 1 blah blah blah"). Use the shp2img commandline tool that is part of MS4W and try to create a map image (see example usage at http://mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html). That tool will return a map image, or an error with a line number). Once you get the exact error, search the mailing list for that error (this is the best way to search: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/MapServer-f4226623.html). And finally, welcome to the MapServer /OSGeo community! :) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
