[mapserver-users] File paths for layer data

[Tyler Mitchell]

I've had a similar problem Adam, again using MapServ 3.5 on Windows 2000.
I couldn't access data on network/shared drives, only locally.   It's been
a while since I tried, but I hope someone else can shed some light on it
for us.  Any takers?

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.
