[Chameleon] Fwd: Re: Installing Chameleon on Linux

[Paul Spencer]

Robin,

its pretty tricky to track down internal server errors (especially when 
you don't have access to the machine).  There's not a lot I can do. 
Some ideas:

* did you configure chameleon.xml
* does mapscript work by itself

<?php
dl('php_mapscript.so');
$oMap=ms_newMapObj( '/var/www/html/Chameleon/samples/map/chameleon.map' );
$oImg=$oMap->draw();
$szURL = $oImg->saveWebImage();
echo "<img src='$szURL'>";
?>

Cheers

Paul
