Hi there,

I am just starting to use MapServer. I have propertly configured =
php_mapscript_41 and run the europe exemple. Great step!!

I am now trying to open a MapInfo file and I got the following error:=20

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named =
'test'. in c:\program =
files\easyphp1-7\www\mapserver\tutorial\example_mi.php on line 10

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msOGRFileOpen(): Open failed for OGR =
connection `C:\tmp\ms_tmp\mapinfo\test.TAB'. File not found or =
unsupported format. in c:\program =
files\easyphp1-7\www\mapserver\tutorial\example_mi.php on line 10

The TAB file is very basic, just one layer. If I run the ogrinfo tool :

C:\tmp\ms_tmp\mapinfo>ogrinfo test.tab
Had to open data source read-only.
INFO: Open of `test.tab'
using driver `MapInfo File' successful.
1: test (Polygon)

And the map file is :

NAME FIRSTMAP
SIZE 400 400
STATUS ON

SYMBOLSET "C:\tmp\ms_tmp\font\symbols_mapinfo.sym"
EXTENT -5696501 1923039 5696501 11022882
UNITS METERS

WEB
  IMAGEPATH "/tmp/ms_tmp/"=20
  IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"
END

LAYER
    NAME "test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "C:\tmp\ms_tmp\mapinfo\test.TAB"
    STATUS ON
   =20
    CLASS
       END
END
END

Any clue ?

Thank you very much for your help !!

Denis
