Hi,

Sorry if this isn't the place to dicuss it but I thought my problem may be 
specific to the FreeBSD pre-compiled (package) version of Cern 3.0 httpd for 
FreeBSD 2.0R.

I set up the www.tgz package using pkg_add and then setup the httpd.conf file 
according to the help pages for httpd 3.0 at cern. The error I keep getting 
is:

Error

Error calling HTImage:

HTImage.c: Syntax error at line 1 Bad field name, expecting 'default', 
'rectangle', 'circle' or 'polygon' (got an alphanumeric string) 

I have the following directives in httpd.conf :

Exec    /htbin/*        /usr/local/etc/cern_httpd_3.0/www/htbin/*    
Map     /images/* /usr/local/etc/imagemaps/*   

and I refernce it from the HTML page with :

<A HREF="/htbin/htimage/images/frontpage.conf" >
<IMG src ="small.gif" alt="" border=1 ISMAP >

the image map conf file contains the following :

default http://earl.cs.tcd.ie/
rect (6,7) (119,107) http://www.cs.tcd.ie/ 


I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem with the htimage 
binary? - it seems to run fine I have run it from the csh. Originally I 
thought I had been mucking up the imagemap's conf file so to make sure I got 
down the mapedit program and used it to create the frontpage.conf file.

I also tried referencing the imagemap conf file directly thus ignoring the Map 
directive above and still no joy  - just the same error.

Also moved htimage from /htbin to /cgi-bin and ran it from there - same error 
occurred.

I must be doing something silly - any help would be appreciated.

Justin.
