Scott,

That particular trick is achieved with a simple Apache configuration.

Here's what mine looks like:

        SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "/cgi-bin/atlaswms_en"
MS_MAPFILE=/home/mapdata/aoc_v3/english/wms_eng.map

In my case, I do a symbolic link between atlaswms_en and the "real"
mapserver binary. This way I can have many WFS/WMS servers running from the
same mapserver cgi.

This will work on apache for UNIX/Linux/Windows ... Can't help you if you're
using IIS though ...

Subject: [maplab-users] WMS resources


I'm trying to use MapServer to put together a WMS server.  I have a number
of layers that I want to make available to clients (most of whom will be
using MapLab).  Can anyone point me to some resources, other than the OGC
website and the MapServer documentation to help with the creation.

I noticed that the URL for the GMAP demo that is entered in MapLab to access
those layers doesn't explicitly define a .map file:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?

Is this done with a particular script?

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks in advance,
st
