Dear all,
I'm a new mapserver user. I've tried to get some demos running locally on my pc
(running ubuntu
7.10), but with no success. All required software is installed, the webserver
(5.0) is up and running
(after installing, unpacking the demo archive, restarting apache, opening the
browser and testing, I
get the "No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty."), but
Somehow, I haven't
been able to modify the MAP and HTML files to reflect the paths of my machine.
This is probably a
really simple and basic question, but I've really spent several hours on it and
I'm getting quite
frustrated.
Rather than listing all errors I got, here's a simples example: I created the
following MAP file
(almost a copy from something I found on the net):
MAP
NAME Davos_test
UNITS DD
# map units are decimal degrees
EXTENT -180 -90 180 90
# geographic extent in latitude / longitude coordinates
SIZE 800 400
# width and height of the display in pixels
IMAGECOLOR 128 128 255
#image background colour
SHAPEPATH '../data'
END
Now, I think this will just create an empty frame. I saved this file as
test.MAP. My question is: How
do I get this frame on my browser.
I'm not sure if the question is clear enough. I apologize if this is a too
simple king of question,
but I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks,
António
