I need the ability to be able to display ECW and JPEG2000 format files within MapServer via a Community Mapbuilder client which sends WMS requests for the images to MapServer

[John Mitchell]

Hi Frank,

So I need to copy everything from FWTools/bin to Apache2.2/cgi-bin and
instead of calling your "mapserv_landsat" script instead call
mapserv.exewithin getCapabilitites and getMap WMS requests but how do
I reference the
mapfile within these requests?

Thanks,

John J. Mitchell
