<div>Jeff, </div> <div> </div> <div>That was the problem. I have *not* been using the MapServ_demo link. </div> <div>Have always double clicked directly on index.html within the mapserv-demo directory </div> <div>to bring up the initial page. Restarted apache after the installation of the itasco demo and then clicked on the MapServ-demo link which brought up the initial demo page. </div> <div>Clicked on initialize basic application and it worked like a charm. The other selections</div> <div>worked as well. </div> <div> </div> <div>Jeff, thank you for your help and patience on this!!!!!</div> <div> </div> <div>Not being familiar with what this is supposed to do.... and still learning this stuff, guess it was inevitable that I was doing something wrong. Somewhere I read that all I had to do was double click on the file index.html to bring up the demo application...(maybe some old doc or applied to a
different demo?) I did not understand that the demo application had to be installed directly into the directory structure of the MS4W directory tree. That and the compounding problem that my UNZIP extracted to a newly created directory made things a little more confusing. </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>Couple Notes: </div> <div>When I click on the mapserv-demo link the url displayed in IE is: </div> <div>http:/localhost/mapserv-demo</div> <div> </div> <div>When I double click directly on c:/ms4w/apps/mapserv-demo/index.html </div> <div>the resulting url displayed in IE is: </div> <div>c:\ms4w\apps\mapserv-demo\index/html</div> <div> </div> <div>Either way the resulting page looks the same, but only when clicking on</div> <div>the mapserv-demo link does the demo work. I don't understand the significance</div> <div>of the difference in the resulting urls displayed by IE and why one method</div>
<div>would work and the other does not. If you have spent enought time on this, </div> <div>then no need to explain now. But very much apreciate the time you have</div> <div>spent putzing with this configuration problem via e-mail. Could the answer have</div> <div>something to do with apache being the web server and fetching the demo-page? </div> <div> </div> <div>Best Regards, </div> <div>John Rust</div> <div> </div> <div><BR><B><I>Jeff McKenna <jmckenna@dmsolutions.ca></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">I assume you are using the "MapServer demo" link on your localhost page <BR>(http://127.0.0.1/).<BR><BR>jeff<BR><BR><BR><BR>> <BR>> The results after clicking on: <BR>> c:/ms4w/apps/mapserv-demo/index.html<BR>> and bringing up the initial demo page are as follows:<BR>> <BR>> Select - basic-application (click
