[mapserver-users] File paths for layer data

[Ryan, Adam]

Thanks Tyler.

I'm running MapServer 3.5 on Windows 2000.  I'm networked to a handful of
county servers including the web server that my mapserver files are on.

Adam, I had come across similar problems but am not sure if it was only on
the windows platform or not.  What is your "setup" - are you using windows,
cygwin, unix and maybe you could tell us what version you are using.
