[Mapserver-users] Mapfile in WMS

[nicolas.fortin at ec.gc.ca]

Thanks Tom, glad to hear from you!

Like I already said to Paul, we're using Win2K with IIS 5.0
In the WMS HOW-TO, there're two suggestions, one using Unix and the other
Windows/Apache.

Can I make something similar but with Win2k/IIS ?

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,
