[MapServer-users] Mapserver Apache2 Rewrite not working

[Richard Greenwood]

You might try [QSA] Query String Append
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HTTPD/RewriteFlags+QSA
Something like:
    RewriteRule
Sentinel2Ukraine
/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/DyskPlanetiler/MAPFILEs/Sentinel2Ukraine.map
[QSA]
Or maybe:
    RewriteRule ^Sentinel2Ukraine$
/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/DyskPlanetiler/MAPFILEs/Sentinel2Ukraine.map  [QSA]

You could also put your map file in an Apache environment variable in your
apache2.conf file like:
    SetEnv Sentinel2Ukraine /DyskPlanetiler/MAPFILEs/Sentinel2Ukraine.map
And then reference it like:
    map=Sentinel2Ukraine
If you do that then you can add a little security by setting another Apache
env var:
    SetEnv MS_MAP_NO_PATH "foo"
as described here
https://mapserver.org/environment_variables.html#environment-variables

Hope that helps,
Rich
