</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am VERY new to Chameleon and have a few questions. First of all, I am using this on a Windows XP and Apache platform. I am looking to install MS4W and Chameleon 1.99beta. I've downloaded from DM Solutions the following zip files:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">(1)</FONT> <A HREF="http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_0.8.zip"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_0.8.zip</FONT></U></A>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">(2) </FONT><A HREF="http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/chameleon_ms4w-1.99beta1.zip"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/chameleon_ms4w-1.99beta1.zip</FONT></U></A>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I have unzipped them to my hard drive. I have been following the chameleon installation instructions on the Wiki site but seem to have trouble with tmp folders and location/permissions: </FONT><A HREF="http://www.maptools.org/chameleon/wiki/ChameleonInstallationInstructions"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">http://www.maptools.org/chameleon/wiki/ChameleonInstallationInstructions</FONT></U></A></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Question number 1. Where should these be "installed?" Is there a good example of the file structure hierarchy? I've unzipped them to c:\ms4w (I placed chameleon under the folder called apps) and was able to get the localhost to open the demos but I get several broken links. For example, in the </FONT><A HREF="http://localhost/chameleon/samples/"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">http://localhost/chameleon/samples/</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> when I click on ROI Widget Pack Sample using widgets from the ROI widget pack I get the following error:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ms_newsymbolobj() in C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\htdocs\widgets\TrueNorth\TrueNorth.widget.php on line 213</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Again, for example, in the </FONT><A HREF="http://localhost/chameleon/samples/"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">http://localhost/chameleon/samples/</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> when I click on Enhanced Widget Pack’s Sample using XML Theme Legend I get the following message returned: </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Warning: [MapServer Error]: msSaveImage(): (../tmp/ms_tmp/108784539119681.png) in C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\htdocs\widgets\Scalebar\Scalebar.widget.php on line 385</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Fatal error: Failed writing image to ../tmp/ms_tmp/108784539119681.png in C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\htdocs\widgets\Scalebar\Scalebar.widget.php on line 385</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I get a lot more error messages if I do not have the folder "c:\tmp\ms_tmp." I do have this same-named folder under c:\ms4w\ and c:\ms4w\chameleon.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Would the failed to write to /tmp/ms_tmp be a apache permissions problem? It seems to access the tmp folders ok but fails to write to them. Is there anything special that needs to be done in apache other then to create an alias in httpd.conf?</FONT></P>
