Well, "die" means, it just stops working, I get a [defunct] for the process in my 'ps ax'. I managed to debug it though, through the use of the mapserv CGI, for some reason I was unable to get any error messages via PHP mapscript (this is an entirely new server install and I am migrating from the old -- I would have sworn that my documentation of configurations was impeccable, but, it turns out not to be so).
So, it was a simple thing, the fontset was inadvertently duplicated (an errant paste a few lines down). It is strange that I am getting no error messages though, although if I RTFM more thoroughly, I will probably figure that out. r.b. -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doyon, Jean-Francois Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 4:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] fontset tag kills map Also, is this one particular font, or all of them? -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Lime Sent: June 8, 2006 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] fontset tag kills map What does 'die' mean?

I can have a label layer, as long as it is OFF, but the minute that I put a FONTSET tag in my map file, or turn the layer ON, it dies without error. Fonts are in the directory in question and have permission 744. Any ideas as to what may be the trouble? PHP is compiled with freetype support, as is mapserver: Below is the message configure gives: configure: checking where FreeType 2.x is installed... using libfreetype from -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64 -lfreetype -lz checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype... yes using libfreetype -lfreetype from system libs.
