I just need to get started! Please, help me with some tips!

[Catalin G.]

Hi, 

I really need to learn how to implement mapserver technology on a site, but I could use some tips for the begining. 

I installed ms4w on my computer so now I have mapserver installed and chamelon too. The problem is when I tried to add the demo files in my mapserver directory structure. 

I added the files from DEMO here: E:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/itasca. 
I launched in my browser the next link: http://localhost/itasca/demo_init.html. 
Now I should update the file demo.map and demo_init.html in order to make this to work. 

Here is the problem, cause I don't think I do it corectly. 
<form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
<input type="hidden" name="map" value="/ms4w/apache/htdocs/itasca/demo.map">

What is the correct URL? 

And a second problem. 

Can you guide to some basics of mapserver? I look on the site, but I didn't found some step to stept explanations. 

Thanks a lot! 



  Catalin G.
