I entered the user and group name with all the privileges in the httpd.conf

deleted the folder and created another folder with a different name. It did the
trick. But I don’t know how the folder got corrupted for reading although
images were written in the folder.</span></font></p>

Hi Alan,<br>
My map file cannot be read by the web application user. But how to<br>
correct it? I am using IE 7. What is the user account for web<br>
application user in case of Apache?<br>
I am looking forward for your reply.<br>
Thanks<br>
Suman<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
If you are sure that the path is good, did you check the file<br>
permissions? <br>
Does the mapfile can be read by your web application user ?<br>
