[Mapserver-west] Web Mapping Illustrated Demo

Sun Jan 29 01:19:14 EST 2006

I am using the "Web Mapping Illustrated" book by Tyler Mitchell to learn
Mapserver.  I'm on page 181 of the book an my global.html map does not
display from the index.html page. I am on a Windows 2000 computer with
all the demo application files and the countries shape file are in:

C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs

Apache is running as evidenced by the Apache.exe window persisting.

 Below is the contents of the global.map file:

MAP                         # Start of MAP object
  SIZE 600 300
  EXTENT -180 -90 180 90
  IMAGECOLOR 180 180 250 

  UNITS DD

  SCALEBAR
    STATUS EMBED
    UNITS KILOMETERS
    INTERVALS 3
    TRANSPARENT TRUE
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
  END

  LEGEND
    STATUS EMBED
    POSITION LR
    TRANSPARENT TRUE
  END

  WEB
    TEMPLATE global.html
    IMAGEPATH "C:\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp\"
    IMAGEURL "\ms_tmp\"
  END

  LAYER                     # Start of LAYER object
    NAME countries
    TYPE POLYGON
    STATUS DEFAULT
    DATA countries_simpl
    LABELITEM 'NAME'
    LABELMAXSCALE 50000000
    CLASSITEM 'NAME'
    CLASS                   # Start of CLASS object
       NAME 'Bulgaria'
       EXPRESSION 'Bulgaria'
       OUTLINECOLOR 100 100 100
       COLOR 255 255 150
       LABEL
          SIZE LARGE
          OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
          MINFEATURESIZE 40
       END
    END
    CLASS
      NAME 'All Countries'
      EXPRESSION ('[NAME]' ne 'Bulgaria')
      OUTLINECOLOR 100 100 100
      COLOR 200 200 200
    END
  END
END

The index.html file is:

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>MapServer Test</TITLE></HEAD>
<CENTER><H2>MapServer Test</H2>

<FORM method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="map"
value="C:\ms4w\apache\htdocs\global.map">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="layer" value="countries">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="zoomdir" value=1>
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>

   <INPUT type="hidden" name="program" value="/cgi-bin/mapserv">

   <INPUT type="submit"  value="Start MapServer">
</FORM></CENTER></BODY></HTML>

The global.html file is:

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>MapServer Test</TITLE></HEAD>
<CENTER><H2>MapServer Test</H2>
<HR>

<FORM method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
   <INPUT NAME="img" TYPE="image" SRC="[img]" width=600 height=300
border=0 ALT="Map Image">

   <INPUT type=hidden name=zoomdir value=1 [zoomdir_1_check] >
   <INPUT type=hidden name=zoomsize size=4 value=[zoomsize]>

   <INPUT type="hidden" name="imgxy" value="[center_x] [center_y]">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="imgext" value="[mapext]">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="map" value="[map]">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="savequery" value="true">
   <INPUT type="hidden" name="mapext" value="shapes">

</FORM></CENTER></BODY></HTML>

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Dave Murray
