[Mapserver-users] Virtual Spatial Data Wiki Question

[Nikolai Schwertner]

Hi all,

I am following the instructions from the wiki on "Virtual Spatial Data" to
create a virtual layer from an ODBC data source (under Windows 2000). The
OVF file works great with ogrinfo.exe, but fails with the following message
when I try to load it in MapServer:

  msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'sb_pt'.
  msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. Open failed for OGR connection
`w:\app\virtual.ovf'. File not found or unsupported format.

Past posts suggest that this problem may be related to the permissions of
the Apache user over the OVF file. I don't think that this is the problem in
this case. All permissions are in order and Apache has no problem accessing
the file.

I will appreciate any suggestions regarding this problem.

Sincerely,
Nikolai
