Big problems to set MS_Mapfile-Path

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi Reinhard,
 
Perhaps you see something on your browser if you send a request:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mymaps.exe?mode=map (maybe also &layers=something, if you do not have default layers)

Hi There,

You might want to try to add something at the end of the url : something
like http://localhost/cgi-bin/mymaps.exe?ttt=1 and force the length of
the QUERY_STRING to be > 0.
