[Mapserver-users] MapLab error

[Vincent Schut]

Geoffrey,

seems you have permissions on the maplab config files a bit too restrictive. 
Mind that maplab is running as the user apache is running as (you can set 
this in the apache config file, httpd.conf; usually it is something like 
wwwrun or apache. You need to set permissions for maplab's config files to 
writable for this user. You can set them to writable for all if you are not 
on a system that can be accessed from internet, it is however a bad security 
habit to do this...
Btw there is a maplab users mailing list that is more appropriate for 
questions like this: maplab-users at dmsolutions.ca . You might want to 
subscribe to this list.

Cheers,
Vincent.
