[Chameleon] Newbie Startup Question

Nearly got it sorted.  Now all of the images load except the main map which
says it is loading but just sits there forever.  I've narrowed the problem
down to this line (this is the resultant index.phtml code) which really
doesn't look right to me.  Does anyone know how and where I can make the
change.

content = "<img name=\"MapLayerDivImg\"
src=\"C:/apps/cwc2/htdocs/common/wrapper/drawmap.php?map_session_mode=0&run_
query=0&sid=3fd784eea640a&dummy=0.01302500+1071088879\" width=\"400\"
height=\"300\" border=\"0\"
onload=\"CWCDHTML_HideLayer('ActivityLayer');CWCDHTML_ShowLayer('MapLayerDiv
')\">";
    CWCDHTML_CreateLayer("MapLayerDiv", gMapWhspc, gMapWvspc, gMapWiWidth,
gMapWiHeight, true, content);

Thanks

Tracy

Tracy,

If your problem is the images, try checking in the View Source and searching
for <img to see what's wrong with the images href.

Thanks Nicolas, 

I did actually take all of those things into consideration but there must be
something else somewhere.  The closest I've got to having the application
run is to have the chameleon_sample application load but with all the images
missing.  Now I'm getting a blank screen or a 'page not found' error.

I'll let you know if I figure it out.

Tracy

Sorry about the format...nevertheless it looks good when I sent it with
outlook... Second try...

extension_dir = "C:\PHP\extensions"
  Depends on your PHP installation directory -> [PHP install]\extensions 
doc_root = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot"
  Mine is doc_root =
  Better if you have a virtual directory for chameleon 
session.save_path = C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp (must exist...or
C:\cwc2\htdocs\tmp)
  \tmp dir must exist and have write permissions for IUSR_ 
cgi.force_redirect = 0
  no comments
browscap = "C:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\browscap.ini"
  On winXP it's C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\browscap.ini

Hi Tracy, XP is so different ... the changes I wrote with some extra notes
for XP: extension_dir = "C:\PHP\extensions"
  Depends on your PHP installation directory -> [PHP install]\extensions
doc_root = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot"
  Mine is doc_root =
  Better if you have a virtual directory for chameleon session.save_path =
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp (must exist...or
C:\cwc2\htdocs\tmp)
  \tmp dir must exist and have write permissions for IUSR_
cgi.force_redirect = 0
  no comments
browscap = "C:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\browscap.ini"
  On winXP it's C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\browscap.ini

Hope this helps
Nicolas

Hi,

Actually I have gone through the documentation put together by Nicolas (I'm
on XP with IIS) and now the application won't load at all!!  All was fine
until I made the changes to the PHP.ini file.  I'm now going back and
undoing each change one by one to see where the problem is.

Tracy

did you see the recent emails regarding setup with IIS?  Did this solve 
your problem?

Cheers,

Paul
