OGR - Access to Mapinfo

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

is your Mapserver compiled with OGR support (INPUT=OGR)?

Check with mapserv -v

c:\ms4w\cgi-bin>mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=PDF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Mapserver can natively (without OGR) display shapefiles, but for Mapinfo
files the OGR support needs to be compiled in.

Best regards,
Bart
