[mapserver-users] Using a mapserv wrapper script to handle libraries

[Cassiel]

Hi,

if you are on debian or derivative you can use

dpkg -s mapserver-bin and/or dpkg -s cgi-mapserver
to obtain dependencies.

I used apache environment variables to hide the mapfile path and serve two
different wms services with the same mapserver executable, they should do
the job in your case too... but what's the need to do this with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH & PROJ_LIB? Am I missing some thread?

regards
