[mapserver-users] Mapserver can't read mapfile

[Jörg Thomsen]

Hi,

please have a look at your path:
> http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map
and
> http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop/map

I guess the first one is correct and that's why you get the error-msg
with the 2nd one. So, what exactly is the result of the request
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/mapdata/pelop.map&mode=map ?
it sounds like a white image, not nothing. In this case you should check
the bboxes and srs first.

regards, Jörg
