[mapserver-users] MAP Query Parameter

[Jörg Thomsen (WhereGroup)]

Hello Patrick,

the cgi-directory should be the directory, where your mapserver binary
is stored.

BUT have you tried to use the absolute path? As I know, it is always the
absolute path like in
https://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/mapserver_quickstart.html#id2

When you're starting with mapserver right know, please read the security
advices Steve mentioned a few month ago:
https://mapserver.org/announcements/2021-03-30-limit-mapfile-access.html
