[Mapserver-users] help needed

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi Ronny,

Did you set the SHAPEPATH variable at the begining of the map file?
e.g.
NAME SAMPLE
SIZE ...
STATUS ...
UNITS ...
SHAPEPATH <the absolute path to your shape files>

If you don't set the SHAPEPATH, you must give the absoute path + shape 
name in the DATA for the layer. I haven't try it :(
