[mapserver-users] RE: mapserver-users Digest, Vol 17, Issue 77

Thanks a lot! But I think my problem lies in the fact that the mapserver
is not able to access the map file. When I tried to open the map file in
the browser(IE) by typing its absolute path it is displaying that 
Accessing the resource C:\..  has been disallowed.
Previously I was able to open the map file in the browser.
How to solve this problem?

Hi,

If you are sure that the path is good, did you check the file
permissions? 
Does the mapfile can be read by your web application user ?

Since you are using MS4W you can download the "MapServer Itasca Demo 
Application" add-on application from the MS4W downloads page [1], 
extract it at your drive root, restart Apache, and look on localhost for

a new link to the application - no configuration needed.  Note: use MS4W

3.0 beta3 with this Itasca application.
