Hi everyone,
I'm looking for help with the MapServer 4.x tutorial. I recently tried
to install the uncompiled version of MapServer 5.0.2 on my Windows
machine. I was able to download the source code and GD library, but the
link to the Regex library FTP site does not work. I then decided to
install a precompiled version of MapServer. I already had Apache and
PHP installed on my machine, so I did not want to install MS4W over it.
Instead I installed FWTools, which came with MapServer 4.9. I tested
MapServer by typing "mapserv -v" in the command prompt, and by checking
the URL. Both tests indicated that MapServer had been installed
correctly. However, I cannot get the 4.x demo to run. I edited the
necessary variables in the index.html file, but I get the following error:
loadWeb(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near
(/Web/WebServer/Apache2/htdocs/tmp/):(line 1)
I have checked the forum archives for information regarding this
problem. There are several posts regarding similar problems, but there
is no clear answer as to how to fix it, and the tutorial is relatively
vague. The code for my index.html file is provided below. Does anyone
know how to get around this problem??
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Jill Recla
