<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Jack,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Did you set up your permissions for Apache
correctly? What statements did you add to your httpd.conf file?<BR>You should
check whether the file is accessable. Have you tried to load the url directly
(<A
href="http://localhost/mapserver_demos/workshop/itasca.map">http://localhost/mapserver_demos/workshop/itasca.map</A>)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alternatively, change the path of your mapfile to a
filepath (e.g. c:\\web\\mapfile.map). Best to use double-backslash with
windows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><BR>I'm a newbie to MapServer, struggling to setup and try. I managed
to<BR>setup the MapServer w/ the expected return from initial install:
"No<BR>query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I' ve downloaded the demos and put in under Apache's htdocs ->
i.e.<BR>htdocs/mapserver_demos folder. When I run the demo i.e. the index
page<BR>of /workshop folder, it has the following message: -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>msLoadMap(): Unable to access file.<BR>(<A
href="http://localhost/mapserver_demos/workshop/itasca.map">http://localhost/mapserver_demos/workshop/itasca.map</A>)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>All the files are there but I don't know why I can't access?</DIV>
