map image not written to disk

[havatv]

I have been trying 5.2 beta 1 and beta 2.
Most things seem to work, but maps are, for some reason, not written to disk. I have configured with "--enable-debug", and turned "DEBUG on" but I have found no relevant debug output. Apache gives the message "File does not exist:...", and the file is indeed not there.
Legend files and scalebar files are generated, and written to disk.
WMS is OK.
The problem is there for both AGG and GD.
I did not experience this problem on a nightly build from May 9 2008.

Operating system: Solaris 2.7
GCC: 3.3.2

Configuration and compilation seems to run fine.
Output from mapserv -v:

Can you describe the application? Is this just a straight CGI browse/query application?

This happens with all the CGI-applications I have tried - no matter how simple.

For instance with this mapfile (I have included one shape file layer and one in-line layer - removing one does not change the behaviour):

MAP
  NAME "test"
  DEBUG on
  SIZE 400 400
  EXTENT 5 58 20 73
  IMAGETYPE jpeg # png
  WEB
    IMAGEPATH "/users/ikf/ikfht/public_html/mapserver/tmp/"
    IMAGEURL "/~ikfht/mapserver/tmp/"
    TEMPLATE test.html
  END #web

  SYMBOL
    NAME 'circle'
    TYPE ellipse
    FILLED true
    POINTS
      1 1
    END # points
  END # symbols

  LAYER # test
    NAME test3
    DEBUG on
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POINT
    FEATURE
      POINTS
        10 60
      END #POINTS
    END #Feature
    CLASS
      NAME "Size 3 circle"
      STYLE
        COLOR 0 0 255   # OK
        SYMBOL "circle"
        SIZE 20
      END # style
    END # CLASS
  END # LAYER test2

  LAYER # test
    NAME kommune
    DEBUG on
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE LINE
    DATA ../data/n250/kommunef.shp
    CLASS
      NAME "Test line"
      STYLE
        COLOR 0 200 0   # OK
      END # style
    END # CLASS
  END # LAYER kommune
END # Map file

This map file works on the last build I used (from May), and also on previous versions of Mapserver.

Ok, I found the problem. The calls to msGenerateImages had the boolean arguments switched so it was trying to create query maps instead of regular ones (and vice versa). Should be ok now (r7723).

steve thank you for fixing this (I was banging my head on the wall on this one while trying to do an ms4w release all yesterday). I have tested r7723 and the map image issue is gone. Question: I don't think we should throw beta2 out there for ms4w users to test, with this cgi issue, so does this call for a quick beta3 release? what do you recommend?

[jmckenna]

steve: that was probably a dumb question...i'll put out a dev package now for ms4w users to test. carry on :)

Not a dumb question. It's sorta like what's the point when something basic like that is hosed. Not many folks must use mode=browse. I'm still seeing weirdness with a basic CGI application and am debugging that now. I guess I recommend holding off until beta3.

I just committed the fix for the weirdness I mentioned. You should be good to go for beta3. Pure beta2 is worthless because of the two defects I just fixed. My fault...

ok thanks Steve.
