[mapserver-users] Problems with mapserver wrapper script

[Jeff McKenna]

David,

I just tested this successfully with MS4W v3.0 (MapServer 5.6.3).  The 
line I added to Apache's httpd.conf was:

   SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/mywms.exe" 
MS_MAPFILE=/ms4w/apps/benchmarking/mapserver/bcn.map

and then restarted Apache.

(I copied this line from 
http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#more-about-the-online-resource-url)
