[mapserver-users] mapcache - problems on install

[Helen San Segundo Navazo]

Hi ,
thanks, now it works, it was a access problem to the disk where the 
folder with the mapcache.xml file was,  I've changed the access to 
another disk and it works perfectly.
Now I can make some tests to understand how it works.
Thanks Steve for the explanation,
Helen
