[maplab-users] Maplab/Mapedit produces Zero Byte Images

[Zak James]

Tilmann,

Are you sure that you have the PHP mapscript module properly installed? 
The Itasca demo doesn't use that component. If it seems to be working, 
the next thing to do is to use Maplab's configuration tool to check 
that the directories set up within Maplab for web accessible and 
filesystem accessible images match up.

It may also be worth checking your web server's error log to see if 
mapserver or php are generating any errors.
