[mapserver-users] paths in the mapfile

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

I think the only thing to configure is to make sure the Apache user has 
read access to your data file. Note that they don't need to be 
accessible from the web, only readable by the Apache user.

Also note that it is not recommended to put your mapfile in a 
web-accessible folder. It should not be web visible, but again readable 
by the Apache user.
