[Mapserver-users] MS 3.5 Tutorial

[Frieso ter Haseborg]

Hi,

IMHO you _need_ to specify the full path to your map on windows-systems!
This can be an absolute path or alternatively a relative one starting
from the cgi-directory where your mapserv.exe resides - "scripts" in
your case. MS doesn't take "wwwroot" as base-dir, the base-dir of MS to
code path from is the cgi-directory.

\IRS3.map&mode=map

but doesn't when i try this:

2)
http://localhost/Scripts/mapserv.exe?map=/IRS/IRS3.map&mode=map

IRS is the folder that i have created in the wwwroot
directory. i am using MS 3.6 & IIS

as per the tutorials i think i needn't always specify
the full path. 

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Srini
