[mapserver-users] ScaleHint

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

OK, it's this simple:

Make sure you have the module mod_setenvif enabled or compiled into your
apache and setup a line like follows in your httpd.conf:

SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "/cgi-bin/atlasogcmapper"
MS_MAPFILE=/home/mapdata/nac/wms.map

That's it!

Although I've never tried it with Apache on NT, I see no reason why it
wouldn't work.

Hope this helps,
J.F.
