Mapserv not accepting POST method

[Jeff Copes]

Richard,

Thanks for your reply. This is a weird one. 

The permissions were the first thing I checked. I have my ls aliased to ls
-F.

-rwxrwxr-x   1 satellit  wheel  1504560 Nov 14 04:57 mapserv*

I checked the ScriptAlias variable, it is pointed to the correct space. 

I will keep looking. 

Jeff
