"msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. " Error Loading Map File

[Jacob Delfos]

Hi Jack,

Did you set up your permissions for Apache correctly? What statements did you add to your httpd.conf file?
You should check whether the file is accessable. Have you tried to load the url directly (http://localhost/mapserver_demos/workshop/itasca.map)?

Alternatively, change the path of your mapfile to a filepath (e.g. c:\\web\\mapfile.map). Best to use double-backslash with windows.

Regards,

Jacob

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] "msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. " Error Loading Map File

Hi,


I'm a newbie to MapServer, struggling to setup and try. I managed to
setup the MapServer w/ the expected return from initial install: "No
query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty."

I' ve downloaded the demos and put in under Apache's htdocs -> i.e.
htdocs/mapserver_demos folder. When I run the demo i.e. the index page
of /workshop folder, it has the following message: -

msLoadMap(): Unable to access file.
(http://localhost/mapserver_demos/workshop/itasca.map)


All the files are there but I don't know why I can't access?

OS: Windows XP
Webserver: Apache2
