[MapServer-users] msLoadConfig error on Ubuntu 23.04

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi MapServer users,

I'm having problems getting MapServer 8 to read the conf file on my 
Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster machine. I installed MapServer using the 
command "sudu apt install cgi-mapserver" and this installs 
8.0.0-3build2. However, when I test the installation I get an error:

"msLoadConfig(): Unable to access file. See 
mapserver.org/config_file.html for more information."


I have created a conf file that looks like this:
CONFIG
   MAPS
     ECSRP_MAPFILE "/var/www/ecsrp/mapfiles/ecsrp.map"
   END
END


I have created a system-wide environment variable pointing to the conf file:
MAPSERVER_CONFIG_FILE=/usr/local/etc/mapserver.conf


I have granted read access to Owner/Group/Others on both mapserver.conf 
and ecsrp.map but still get the msLoadConfig() error.


Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong?


Regards, Frank.
