Eric,
MapServer has a great discussion list for asking questions just like
this: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mapserver-users.html
However...
You should first make sure that your version of MapServer was compiled
with OGR support. Try running mapserv.exe -v from the command line.
This should list all of the components that are included in your build
of MapServer. Second, make sure that the gdal12.dll (or gdal13.dll) are
in the path so MapServer can find them. Finally, make sure that your
.map file is configured correctly. The following is taken from an
example off the MapServer site:
LAYER
NAME "My_Polygons"
TYPE POLYGON
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "relative/path/to/data/my_polygons.tab"
STATUS ON
CLASS
...
END
...
END
Consider also that you may have to specify a projection parameter for
this layer definition....
Kind Regards,
- Ian Erickson

Hi MI addicts..
I'm experimenting with Mapserver.
I downloaded the compiled archive for windows.
everything seams to be in order. Apache is running and I can access
map server at http://localhost/ on a browser. The tutorial map is
working fine.
But I can't get a mapinfo file working.
I'm kinda confused with the ogr thing.
So is there a special command to run with ogr before I can see my map
in mapserver.
I thought that mapserver could read the files automatically.
TIA
Eric
