[mapserver-users] error moving application from one box to another

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Andrea,

Check:

1) the the system paths are the same on both. MapServer using system
paths not web server document root relative paths.

2) make sure the IIS process has file read access to if.map and all
parent directories.
