[Mapserver-users] Loading data from another server

[Jeff L.]

Hi,

I was wondering if the location of data used in MapServer can be a different 
location from the one where MapServer is running.

I would like to run the MapServer in a server pointing to data in another 
server. I tried to change this tag in the .map file:

SHAPEPATH "http://www.MyServer.com/data/"

There was an error:
msOpenSHPFile(): Unable to access file. (MyLayerData)

My data do exist in the "http://www.MyServer.com/data/" location.

I'm using MapServer 3.6.

Thanks,

Jeff Lacoste
