[mapserver-users] CGI problem

[Siki Zoltan]

Dear Balázs,

Probably you have an error in your map file, an END may be missing or a
quote ("). Test your map file with shp2img e.g.
shp2img -m your_map_file -o output_image

An other note, do not use your unix box as root if it is not neccessary.

Best regards,
Zoltán
