ms4w : mapserv.exe installation under Apache

[Fabio D'Ovidio]

OK, thanks. I have just tried this and it works fine.

Now my problem is :

I have mapserv.exe, php-cgi and all dlls in cgi-bin (or cgi-bin2) directory and a PHP 
application in my /ms4w/apps directory so that I can see it from index.phtml in 
Apache/htdocs.

My PHP application calls files and directories from its own root, of course, and so I want to 
call mapserv.exe from cgi-bin directory but I want to force the redirectory to My PHP apps 
root in order to configure evrything fine to work !

Is there any "REDIRECT_PATH" variable that I can set in Mapserver map file or in Apache 
conf file to separate cgi from php application that call it from another directory ?


Thanks !
