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

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I would try something like the following in:

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
     <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
         AddHandler    fastcgi-script .fcgi
         SetEnv PROJ_LIB "C:/Program Files/Apache Software 
Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/"
         AllowOverride None
         Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>

I have not tried this. Probably a good idea to read about it in the 
apache docs. Oh and since I copy and pasted the above block from a Linux 
system and than added your windows path I'm sure the above will not work 
verbatim on either system ;)  but it will hopefully give you a guide.
