[Mapserver-users] Mapserver WMS server+client ?

[Lars V. Nielsen]

Hi again,

Found a cure for my problem.

It seems that having a SHAPEPATH in a map file without vector/raster layers, i.e. only with WMS client connections, will somehow
block the display of these.
Why ? I haven't the faintest idea. But when I removed the SHAPEPATH statement it worked.

Maybe one of the developer can tell whether it's a bug or a WAD ?
