[GeoMoose-users] GeoMoose 3.6.2 and Mapserver 8

[Christopher Hughes]

I don't think this is in the documentation, but it looks like that change was applied to the demo for the reason you mentioned.

Subject: [GeoMoose-users] GeoMoose 3.6.2 and Mapserver 8

Hi,
 when switching from Mapserver 7 to Mapserver 8 with GeoMoose 3.6.2 I
noticed that relative references to mapfiles within the mapbook.xml
must no longer be written with "./path/to/mapfile.map" but with
"path/to/mapfile.map" thus omitting the "./".
Initially I always obtain a "msCGILoadMap(): Web application error.
CGI variable "map" fails to validate.": it was saying it cannot find
the mapfile. Investigating with F12 tool on the browser I've found a
"..../path/./to/mapfile.map" call and the problem was there.
Indeed in the last demo code and data from GeoMoose site the path
description omits the "./". Is this a change due to compatibility with
Mapserver 8?
I couldn't find it in the documentation, sorry if it's there and I
didn't see it.

thank in advance for any information
flavio
