[Mapserver-users] OGR unable to access datasource

[Van Ulden, Joost]

Hi Tyler,

Here is the output from ogrinfo.  Looks like its working, however I still
unable to get mapserver to connect.  I have tried putting the
<OGRVRTDataSource> directly in the mapfile CONNECTION and still get the same
error: 

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'OGRPoints'. 
msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. Open failed for OGR connection `
ODBC:foo/foo at mydsn,Desc_story Desc_story wkbPoint WGS84 '. File not found or
unsupported format. 

Looking forward to your response.
