Hello all,

We are just getting up and running on Maplab.  I have installed maplab at
home and was up and running in less than 15 minutes but our install on our
development server has not gone too smoothly.  I suspect that we have some
problems with permissions.

We are running on WIN 2000 Server, php 4.2.2 and IIS 5.0.  The install
directory is on D:/ drive and we have mapped a virtual directory in the
default web on C:/ drive.  We are running mapserver on this machine
successfully, so we are a bit confused as to what is going on.  For some
reason we are unable to save the mapfiles to the projects directory, we can
browse there but maplab will just save it to the root directory of the
install.  Paths to layers and so forth show up as ./data/..... instead of
d:/data/..... Is this ok? Does anyone else have a similar set up that can
comment?  When we generate a reference map in map browser, it still tells us
that there is no reference map specified.  Additionally, we are getting
blank maps and there does not seem to be any images generated in the tmp
directory.  Please find attached our maplab.xml file if needed.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
