[mapserver-users] Question on MapServer tutorials

[graham_allan]

Dear all,

 

I'm currently trying to follow the MapServer tutorials
<http://mapserver.org/tutorial/example1-1.html#example1-1>  by Pericles S.
Nacionales, I have successful downloaded and installed both the tutorial
data and MS4W <http://maptools.org/ms4w/>  distribution but when I try the
URL in the first example
<http://mapserver.org/tutorial/example1-1.html#example1-1>  I get the
following error:

 

msLoadMap(): Unable to access file.
(/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-1.map) 

 

I'm running Windows Vista and have amended the example1-1.map file in
C:\ms4w\apps\tutorial\mapfiles as required.

 

If I amend the URL to: 

 

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/mapfiles/exampl
e1-1.map
<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/mapfiles/examp
le1-1.map&layer=states&mode=map> &layer=states&mode=map

 

The map is displayed as shown in the tutorial, however, I'm not sure if the
problem is due to a configuration error on may part or whether the URL in
the tutorial is wrong (this seems unlikely).

 

Does anybody know which configuration files/options I need to amend?

 

 

 

 

Thanks

 

 

Graham
