I have followed the INSTALL correctly and I get this error.
This OrangeMesh server does not have a Google Map key, which is needed to display the maps on this page. Contact the administrator, or see the owner's manual for information on how to get this key.
I made an account at Google maps, I set it up with my link and was given a key, I entered the key into the /lib/mapkeys.php. then when connecting to my Orangemesh Dashboard I get that error.
Why? Does any one have any Idea why?
freebsd 6, orangemesh 0.3.1, vista home, firefox, dont know what else to list

thanks, Amy

In the mapkeys.php file there were extra ='s in the
//Output map script from Google.
Next to each line after host = there was an extra = signs.
Case Solved.!!

Glad you got it working.

By the way... those "extra" equal signs that I think you are referring to are the equals operator in PHP. That is,

Code:

$a == 1

checks if the value stored in $a is equal to 1, whereas

Code:

$a = 1

assigns the value 1 to the variable $a. Did you change the == to = for each line? If that's the case I believe you're probably using the default "localhost" map key.

I would verify that the value you entered for $myAddress is the correct hostname for your machine. After that it should work ok...

p.s. thumbs up for using FreeBSD. :)
