[Mapserver-users] Mapscript problems

[Vincent Schut]

Hi Joe,

Is there some more info in the apache error log about why mapscript could not 
be loaded/seen?
My first quess is that you did not recompile mapserver after the correct 
install of php? You will have to recompile mapserver (make clean, ./configure 
--....., make), configurering with the --with-php=/usr/local/phpcgi for it to 
compile against the correct php files. Then copy the mapserv and 
php_mapscript.so files in their directories, make sure you overwrite the old 
ones. Then try again.
But maybe your apache log hints to some other thing than this.

Regards,
Vincent.
