[mapserver-users] Apache webserver 1.3 (FWD)

[Morin, Annie]

When you call your mapfile, do you give the entire physical path? ex:
mapserv?map=c:\directory\to\my\map\file.map
because this is not Apache or IIS that manages the mapfile but mapserver.
and maybe a space in the physical path may cause trouble... just as:
c:\program files\directory_to_myFile\file.map

and maybe on 2000, this is your security process which deny access to a file
in a specific directory. When you have a http connection onto your server,
the user requesting the map file, does he have the access privileges? 

It can be several of these that can cause your problem problem.
