[Mapserver-users] Mapfile in WMS

[Tom Kralidis [Burlington]]

You can set an environment variable in your web server config to set this
such that the "&map=....." is not in the URL.  Check the MapServer
wms-server howto.

Cheers

Hi!

I just test some Mapfile for WMS and it works pretty fine but I wonder if I
can avoid putting the path to the mapfile in the parameter.
Ex:
http://blablabla/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=tutorial366/s2/s2ex8.map&REQUEST=Ge
tCapabilities
I want it like
http://blablabla/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=s2ex8.map&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

This way, I have to put the Mapfile at the root, right?? Or perhaps I missed
something....?

Thx,
