[Chameleon] Chameleon images access problem ....

[Sears, Jeremy]

Hi Julien,
Thanks for the response.

>>What is the path to the map and button images built by Chameleon?

Ok, when I access the application from within the LAN: (application works
fine from within LAN)

path to button images built by chameleon:
http://LAN.Address/adir/ms_tmp/buttons/b9c8ba9f13a339fa082830d6adce742e7.png

Path to main map image:
http://LAN.address/chameleon//common//wrapper/drawmap.php?map_session_mode=1
&run_query=0&sid=4419d4e72c00c&dummy=0.26094800+1142543592&UniqId=1142543649
455758&gszPersistentQuery=false

and when I attempt to access the application from outside the LAN:

path to button images built by chameleon:(this image works fine)
https://WEB.Address/adir/ms_tmp/buttons/b436d2260d70037e20a624b0767b57dfc.pn
g

Path to main map image: (this is a blank image)
https://WEB.Address/chameleon//skins/default/images/a_pixel.gif


>>Does the server is visible from the web?
Is the server visible from the web? Yes, other components of this site
including html files and php files are all served without any problems to
the web.

>>  Is there a Firewall between this machine and the web?
Yes, Im quite certian we are behind a firewall*

>> folder containing the images is visible from the web?
Im quite certian it is. Apache Alias' have been created for /tmp and
/ms_tmp. These folders are accessable, as is /ms_tmp/buttons. 

>> Did you check the "Block images from this server" option on Firefox? 
The "block images from this server" option is not checked.

*The computer that has ms4w/chameleon installed is behind a firewall. Our IT
folks have opened up access to the directory inwhich ms4w is installed. HTTP
requests comming from the web are directed to this machiene via proxy. I
believe its IIS that driects traffic to the ms4w/chameleon install. Do you
think there could be somesort of configuration issue between IIS and Apache?
Perhaps a firewall setting or 'mis-setting'?

Thanks for your help!
Jeremy

Hi,
We'll need to dig to find this one.
What is the path to the map and button images built by Chameleon?
This kind of problem is usually due to Apache. Does the server is 
visible from the web? Is there a Firewall between this machine and the 
web? Does the folder containing the images is visible from the web?

PS: Did you check the "Block images from this server" option on Firefox? 
I already experience something like what you describe because of that. :)
