[MapServer-users] Hiding path to .map-files with Mapserver 8/ms4w5.0.0

[Richard Greenwood]

I just tried quickly on Linux and an Apache alias to a map file did not
work. I'd suggest that you move your Apache aliases out of your apache.cong
and into the MAP section of the new mapserver.conf file. They will then
work in 8.0 like they did in previous mapserver vversions.
