[MapServer-users] Does the map parameter value in a query have to be absolute?

[Rob Dennett]

I have a situation where I have .map files in two different directories, one called stage and one called prod.  If there were a .map in each directory called foo.map, I would like to be able to reference it by making my query parameter map=/foo.map and setting the directory in configuration, rather than being forced to use map=/stage/foo.map or map=/prod/foo.map as the case may be.  Is this possible with some mapserver config?  I found this StackExchange article https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/315039/mapserver-data-root

There is no concept of a data root, for a mapserver installation, or for a mapserver service. You can use local references within any map file to include other map files

Which shows how you could use ScriptAlias in the Apache config to create an alias for each .map file, but we have over a thousand of them.
