cgi-bin folder. Use an absolute path for your shapepath. And if your file is not
a shapefile, I think you should convert it. I am not sure whether the OGR input
supports e00 (Arc Export format). But I know for sure it definitely will not
work if you try to access it as a normal shapefile.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Thank You Brent, </DIV>
<DIV>I did change the SHAPEPATH</DIV>
<DIV>Also, Instead of using those particular files, I replaced it with many
different shapefiles....it still didn't show up. Only the map shows up and
the layers don't. Even the legend doesn't show up. No clue why?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>1. A file ending in .e00 is not a shapefile, it's an ESRI

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. You need to set your SHAPEPATH to have a leading "/"

<P>Hi,</P>
<P>I have made a map file. My layers are still not showing up??
I have changed my SHAPEPATH, i also tried to put my data in different
folders but it still didn't work. I have named my CLASSES and they
still are not showing up on the le gend. </P>
<P><A title=http://132.205.108.60/
href="http://132.205.108.60/">http://132.205.108.60</A></P>
<P> </P>
<P>If I try to access my map by writing <A
title=http://132.205.108.60/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/cgi-bin/ogr.map&mode=map&layer=mylandcover
href="http://132.205.108.60/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/cgi-bin/ogr.map&mode=map&layer=mylandcover">http://132.205.108.60/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/cgi-bin/ogr.map&mode=map&layer=mylandcover
</A></P>
<P>it gives me the following errors:</P>
<P>msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named
'mylandcover'. <BR>msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file.
(/var/www/cgi-bin/nhtm93s3) <BR>msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file.
(/var/www/cgi-bin/nhtm93s3) </P>
<P>When I try this
:http://132.205.108.60/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=ogr.map&mode=map&layer=myroads</P>
<P>msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'myroads'.
<BR>msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (/var/www/cgi-bin/rtf100k)
<BR>msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (/var/www/cgi-bin/rtf100k) </P>
<P>The rtf100k and the other file both have an e00 extension. Is there
a way to check if these files are corrupted?? They open up in otepad
though. I'm working in linux</P>
<P>I tried putting all my data to var/www/temp but when i change my
shapepath to this then int the above errors it says :</P>
<P>/var/www/cgi-bin/var/www/temp/rtf100k</P>
<P>why is that?why does it goes automatically to cgi-bin and then to
var/www/temp/rtf100k.</P>
<P>Thank You all for your help. It is greatly appreciated.</P>
