[maplab-users] Maplab frustration!

[Matt Doggett]

I have successfully installed php4.2.3 (instead of 4.3.2) and got it
working correctly with apache. Some of my problems seem to be corrected,
however, I still have several problems with the MapEdit preview window:

- Can get the initial preview of a Map but any actions on that
  preview result in a blank map...completely empty, white, null, nada,
zip. I can zoom, pan, query the map but it is always blank and won't
show up again until I close the preview window and re-open it.

- Legend is empty in the preview except for the Layers label and Refresh
Map button.  This occurs in spite of the fact that ALL layers are turned
ON. So I cannot interact with the individual layers at all.
