[mapserver-users] URL redirection under Apache2-Difference WMS and WFS server

[thomas bonfort]

I'd avoid using the SERVICE= rewrites as the handling of capital
letters may prove to be problematic. You should also not be adding the
REQUEST= and other parts in your rewrite rule.

Basically, just:

<Directory “…/public_html”>

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule mywms(.*)?(.*)$
/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/biss.org/public_html/pmapper/config/default/pmapper_demo_wms$1.map&$2
RewriteRule mywfs(.*)?(.*)$
/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/biss.org/public_html/pmapper/config/default/pmapper_demo_wfs$1.map&$2

</Directory>
