[mapserver-users] map not available over the Lan or internet

[Adrian Popa]

I forgot... windows automatically replaces IP addresses with hostnames 
when hostnames are known. SubranilBasu is your hostname and it matches 
your ip address 127.0.0.1.

The concept of listening on all/an interface is the following: when  you 
start a server it can accept queries from all interfaces (it's listening 
on ip1:8085, ip2:8085, 127.0.0.1:8085 - or a more compact way of writing 
this is: 0.0.0.0:8085). The server can be started listening only on one 
interface (for instance listening for queries on the loopback interface 
127.0.0.1) - and it will not reply to queries that come on other interfaces.

This is what the Listen directive does in apache. I think that it should 
be Listen 0.0.0.0:8085 if you want to enable the web server on all 
interfaces (but I haven't checked).

Adrian
