I have been trying to figure this out all day. I have mapserver set up on a
fedora server and I believe everything is installed properly because I can
get one of the Itasca Application(The DHTML rubber band box) working great.
I also have the USGS mapsurfer and it seems to be having the same problem.
Acoording to the Apache error log on all maps except one "File does not
exist: /directory/..." I then checked my Apache access log where I
discovered on the one map that does work each request is "GET
/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/directory/...." for 3 requests and "GET
/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=..." for 3 requests and this page creates map
properly. Whereas, on the pages that don't display the map properly the
first request is "GET /cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=browse&map=/directory/...." The
follow requests are "GET /directory/../filename..." and these requests cause
my error of "file does not exist". My question is what is where might my
problem be coming from. I have been trying to narrow it down but would
really appreciate any suggestions. If more info is needed to debug please
let me know.
Jon,
Needless to say, this could be a whole host of things.
There isn't quite enough information (for me at least) but if you're not
getting errors when mode=map that is the place to start looking. Mode "map"
writes the output directly to the browser instead of to a file first. It may
just be a permission issue if Apache doesn't have rights to create a file on
/var/www/html/directory/../filename .
