Migrating from Windows to Linux: trouble with mapfiles

If you use this same connection info and data, can you get it to display
as a line layer using mode=map?
 
If not, I would debug this as a normal layer first and then convert it
to a WMS layer.
 
David.

			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
