[mapserver-users] Problem running demo

[Yu-Hsin Chen]

What kind of system are you on?

If you're on a Linux or Unix use vi or emacs or any file editor program
to edit your demo_init file.  Somewhere around the 12th line it has a
value with the full path to the map file.  Just modify the path.  If
you're not familiar with html file format, tags, be careful with the
syntax.

If you're on Windows then use notepad to modify the demo_init file.

Also, if you haven't done so the map file itself might need some
modifications.  If you run into problems just post the symptom here and
you'll get help.

Subject:	[mapserver-users] Problem running demo

I'm trying to run the demo included with the installation. After
submittting
the demo_init.html form I get the following error message.

msLoadMap() : Unable to access file
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mapserver-demos/itasca/demo.map

My path to htdocs resides in another directory on my system. How do you
configure the direction location in mapserv.
I've already added the complete paths to my dem_init.html form....
however
it seems to ignore these paths.

Is the path definition configured within the mapserv cgi file. If so how
do
you reconfig the htdocs path.

Kind Regards,

Ashley Joyce
