[Qgis-user] export to mapserver

[legio nostra]

Hello Richard

As you correctly guessed, i'm working with a windows client and i have a
linux server. Specifically in this case i'm using my friends gisvm server
(Ricardo Pinho, Portugal) and the server has a /mapas subdirectory that is a
symbolic link to /home/user/gisdata.

/home/user/gisdata is a samba shared subdirectory that I access from my
windows client as \\gisvmsrv\gisdata.

We assume we cant use the "windows samba url" because the final .map file is
going to reside in the linux server under /mapas.

Maybe its just a case of (manually) renaming the online_resource inside the
.map file to adjust for mapserver to find the file in the server.

Thanks,

Orlando
