[mapguide-users] totally new to MG

Mon Nov 9 01:38:57 EST 2009

I'd surely post the screenshot in a while!
but at the moment can you tell me how to set the new map that I've
created using Maestro?
I'm getting only the Shebogyan map in my samples. if I view it by
browsing through maestro the map appears perfectly, but if I browse
MAIN.aspx its showing shebogyan :(
How to change the source of the map? Thr new map is created using shape files !

Help awaited !! :(
