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

[Jörg Thomsen (WhereGroup)]

Hi,

why don't you use the variables in the config-file? very easy to use, no 
restart of apache needed.

https://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-135.html

   MAPS
     MAP1 "/opt/mapserver/myapp/map1.map"
     MAP2 "/opt/mapserver/myapp/map2.map"
   END

Jörg
