[mapserver-users] msCGILoadMap(): Web application error. CGI variable "map" is not set

Hi,

Please use “Reply all” for sending mail to the list as well. If your trouble gets solved the mailing list archives may help other Mapserver users later.

You have such a new Mapserver version that you must take care of some additional security settings https://www.mapserver.org/optimization/limit_mapfile_access.html#limit-mapfile-access

Have a look at your Apache httpd.conf file. Do you see a configuration of environment variable MS_MAP_PATTERN there? I am sorry but I cannot help with writing correct regexp, I do not really understand it myself. It takes me usually a few copy-paste-edit-test rounds to make the regexp work.

Thank you sir.

Now I have Bobb's problem  a permissions issue I believe.

msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-1.map)

Hi,

You seem to have an extra space character in your url after /mapserv?. See %20 in that place, it is space as url-encoded.

Mac OS 11.6.1
Mapserver 7.6.4. Homebrew install

Working my way through the tutorial.  Going slow a lot of permission issues.

The Mapserver is running I go the no query response when I access from the server.


Trying to run the first example
//localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?%20map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-1.map&layer=states&mode=map<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?%20map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-1.map&layer=states&mode=map>

Getting error in subject line above.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
