Hi Andrew,

You can put the file wherever you want on your file system at the condition 
that MapServer has the rights to reach it and read it.

How did you get this error ?

Your request to Mapserver should include a parameter specifying the map to read 
:
http://localhost/mapserver/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:\data\mymap.map&;...

Regards,

Benoît Andrieu

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapfile Location for WMS Server


Hi! I'm setting up a WMS server with mapserver using PostGIS. The mapserver will be a central server providing data to multiple websites.

I have mapserv in cgi-bin and nothing in public_html because it isn't needed.

Where do I place the map file? I've tried putting it in cgi-bin and public_html and both give the same result when trying to get the WMS capabilities:

loadMap(): Web application error. CGI variable "map" is not set.

thanks, Andy
