Migrating from Windows to Linux: trouble with mapfiles

[Ed McNierney]

In addition to Kyle's example and info, one of the most likely problems is that you're moving from an operating system that is not case-sensitive to one that is.  If your mapfile refers to the file XYZZY and on Windows you have a file named xyzzy, that file will be found.  On Linux it will not be found, as XYZZY and xyzzy are two different filenames.

Hi list,

I'm migrating from windows to linux (ubuntu) but I have some trouble getting a map-file to work.
I want to be able to access my server as wms but I'm not sure what to look out for when
making a map-file. I'm having trouble with path-names etc... 

Can someone give me an example of a working mapfile for Linux ?

That would be great !

Thanks !

Steven
