MapServer WEB Object

The WEB object defines the output paths required by iShare.

WEB Object

WEB
   IMAGEPATH "d:\mapserver\tmp\"
   IMAGEURL ""
   TEMPLATE "globexml.xml"
   LOG "d:\mapserver\tmp\ms.log"
END

Element	Description	Sample
IMAGEPATH	This MUST BE THE SAME AS THE Studio >Settings > Master Settings > WebServiceMapImagePath – this is where MapServer outputs it’s images and then iShare picks these up and then watermarks, draws icons over the top etc.	d:\mapserver\tmp\
IMAGEURL	Not used in iShare. This is the location that would be externally (via a web browser) accessible by the user to see maps.
TEMPLATE	This is a template that is used by iShare to retrieve values (extents, zoom etc) from the map that has just been generated. THIS SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED	globexml.xml
LOG	OPTIONAL – if debug is ON then this is the path to the file that MapServer logging is written to	d:\mapserver\tmp\ms.log
