[mapserver-users] MapServer and shapefile

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Because you talk about base layer I think that you are perhaps going to show your map in OpenLayers. If that is the case then the answer is yes and this OpenLayers example shows how it can be done.

On the Mapserver side you must configure a WMS layer that is using shapefile as input data.
