Error displayed when attempting to display map image.

  • IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL parameters in mapfile are valid
  • In CGI mode, any IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL variables set in the init pages are valid
  • Linux/Unix users should verify that the web user has permissions to write to the IMAGEPATH

This Error Reference applies to: MapServer 4.0, MapServer 4.2, MapServer 4.4, MapServer 4.6, MapServer 4.8
