Thanks for the encouragement!!  I noticed you posted a question about
getting the sample app to work - did you ever get a response?  I am having
the exact same issue and it doesn't seem to matter what paths I put in to my
phtml file I always end up with those same errors.

 

How did you end up resolving your problems?

 

Also - this is probably a really silly question but where can I find the web
server error log?

I had the same problem when I was first trying to get chameleon running.  If
you look at demo.php, it's just a redirect to cwc2.php which doesn't come
with chameleon 1.1.x and I think that's why you're getting the page not
found error.  What you need to do is download the sample application and
install it right along with chameleon.  Then you will probably need to edit
index.phtml in htdocs and correct the paths to chameleon.php and your map
file.  Then try to load index.phtml

 

I think that was all I had to do besides correcting paths in my config file.
Be sure to check the error log of your web server for more information on
any errors you are getting.  Hope that helps.

Subject: [Chameleon] Newbie Startup Question

Hi, 

 

I'm a complete beginner with all things MapServer/MapScript/PHP related so
please bare with me.

 

I've had MapServer 3.6 running for a couple of weeks with no trouble.  It
was recommended to me that I upgrade and install Chameleon for some enhanced
features.  I have installed MapServer 4.0.1 and PHP 4.3.4 and both seem to
be working fine.  I am, however, having trouble with the Chameleon install.
I'm sure that the problem is with the paths I've set in the config file.
When I try to open http://localhost/cwc2/chameleon.php I get a blank page.
When I try to open http://localhost/cwc2/demo.php I get a page not found
error.  Should I be putting absolute or relative paths in my config file?
Is there something I'm missing?  I don't have wmsparse.exe installed because
despite all documentation to the contrary, it was not included in my
installation package and I haven't installed the GDAL component. 

 

I'd appreciate any help that anyone might be able to offer.  I've done a lot
of searching for help in the documentation but a lot of it seems incomplete.
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place. 

 

Thanks,

 

Tracy Howlett
