[mapserver-users] how to specify the location of projection library, how to do it not in map file?

[JK Chen]

Hi Steve,

How to do it via Apache configuration? What is the syntax? Is it like this:
"PROJ_LIB" "./cgi-bin/"

Nope, we can't over-write the path names.

Thanks for your helps.

JK

See:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/EnvironmentVariables

If you can do it in the apache config because you do not have access to it, you could write a simple wrapper script the exports the enviroment variable and then executes mapserver.
