[maplab-users] Could not preview map in MapEdit

[Bob English]

Hi All,

My name is Bob English.  I'm a research assistant building a MapServer
application for a forestry project funded under a grant at UMass in Amherst,
MA.  You can view a web built by a grad student for the project at
http://forest.fnr.umass.edu/acorn/firstpage.index.html

I had the same preview problem as Charlie.  The error message and the config
file are below.  The mapfile gets written to the ms_tmp directory as you can
see, but it can't be read.  The // after ms_tmp looks like the problem.  A
parsing problem in the code?  or something I messed up?  I tried many
configurations to no avail.

Thanks,
Bob

    <!-- Edit the following <param-value> parameters to configure your
MapLab
         installation. See <description> for an explanation of each
         parameter's use.

         e.g. <context-param>
                <param-name>working_path</param-name>
                  <param-value>e:/msapps/</param-value>
                  <description> Mapedit working directory for map files.
                  </description>
              </context-param>

         In this case, you would modify
"<param-value>e:/msapps/</param-value>"
         to a local directory that holds your map files, so it would become:

            <context-param>
              <param-name>working_path</param-name>
                <param-value>c:/mapserver-apps/</param-value>
                <description> Mapedit working directory for map files.
                </description>
            </context-param>


         NOTE: Some parameters may not be in use by MapLab at this time
               (i.e. the ones with <description> Not used by MapLab at this
               time. </description>) so you do not have to modify them.
