I have followed your instructions installing mapping kit and testing according to http://aardbodem.nl/?q=node/14. I for some reason cannot see the map, only a black screen with the navigation graphics..see screenshot attached...and here's the link to the context file http://www.wikemy.com/?q=node/2/context.
Can you suggest what might be wrong?

Here are the errors I receive in the admin status report, if it is maybe related

warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_mapscript.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_mapscript.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in /home/agentpt/webapps/drupal_wikemy/modules/mappingkit/mapserver/mapserver.module on line 35.

Geodata The geodata database must be configured in the settings file.

MapScript The MapScript functions are not available.

Not sure if it is related

The errors are from the mapserver and geodata modules. You don't need these for showing maps. I noticed that your bounding box and maxextent in the node/2/context link are 0. You should edit the context to have a maximum extent of -180,-90,180,90. Maybe also the default extent?

The black image is probably because your whole site uses a dark theme?

Thank you John, the map is visible now after the changes..maybe I should go and visit this conference http://conference.osgeo.org/index.php/foss4g/2008 on my side of the world to understand mapping a little better

Nice.
I will be visiting that conference also :-). There should be a lot of mapping inspiration there.
