Fusion GMap Demo not displaying map or widgets

Hello group:

I am working on a masters thesis in GIS at Penn State.  The objective is
to use open source web mapping and create a howto for others to follow,
which includes installing Linux, apache, PostGIS, MapServer, etc.  I
have been working in Linux and open source only for a few months and
find this very challenging, but fun and addictive!  I am not a
programmer but have one readily available.  I have started a howto which
is located at http://www.source3.com/capstone/capstone.php.

I want to take my current web map (webgis.source3.com) using OpenLayers
and move it into Fusion.  Furthermore, it is my understanding that I do
not need to install Mapguide OS since I will be using Fusion for MapServer.

I have two development machines running Ubuntu Server and HostLinux.  I
also have a server at HostGIS which runs the HostLinux package
(Slackware, MapServer, Apache, GeoServer, PostGIS, etc).

I have followed the howto at
http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/MapServerTutorial on my two
development machines and my server at HostGIS.  I get the same results,
a web page without a map or widgets (toolbars), title block only, as
shown at demo.source3.com (http://216.93.173.156/demo).

Any assistance is much appreciated.    I have searched the user groups
and have not figured out my problem.

In return, I will create documentation from installing Linux, PostGIS,
MapServer, Fusion, Apache, etc for others to follow.  I want to
eliminate the need to visit four plus websites to look for information.

Lastly,  I need to present my thesis at a conference.  Thinking Foss4G 2009!

Thanks for the help.

Hi Andrew,

you need to subscribe to the mailing list or future emails are not  
going to get through.

You have an extra character in your ApplicationDefinition file right  
after the MapSet opening tag and before the MapGroup tag.
                                 |
                                 v
   <MapSet xsi:type="MapSetType">x
     <MapGroup id="mapserver" xsi:type="MapType">

Cheers

Paul

Thanks Paul:

Removed the x in the ApplicationDefinition.xml file <MapSet
xsi:type="MapSetType">x

Removing the x had no effect.

The x is shown on the tutorial page
http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/MapServerTutorial

I was going to create an account on the OSGEO Trac and correct the
tutorial.  But I wanted to double check with someone before removing the
x.  Is this ok with everyone?

So my problem continues, a web page without a map or widgets (toolbars),
title block only, as
shown at demo.source3.com (http://216.93.173.156/demo).

Any other suggestions?

Actually that URL is working now, you are a victim of browser  
caching.  Clear your cache and reload the page and it will work.

Feel free to update the tutorial, thanks :)

Cheers

Once again, thanks.

I need to see what is causing my local machine not to clear the cache on
my web browsers (Firefox, Opera, Epiphany).  I even restarted apache.  
Hmmm.  And holding down the ctrl + reload did not work.

Anyway...on to the next problem...pink tiles.  Wait...Don't tell me, I
saw postings to this problem.  I will try to figure it out.

Lastly, I will fix the tutorial.

If you use firefix, install the web developer toolbar and use  
miscellaneous->clear private data->cache

pink tiles ... if you need a hint, check the source of the map image  
and think about what could be changed in config.json :)

Cheers
