Thanks for all the valuable help! If I place the .MAP file somewhere where only the system can read it, the request looks a bit awkward: ….map=/home/include/mapfiles/my_map.map&….
Would there a possibility to juste use …map=my_map&… and have the path then get added/understood by some internal configuration (mod_rewrite perhaps?)? For the Wrapper, I don't really understand how that one would work. I have multiple .MAP files. And they need to by WMS-compliant. If I understand correctly, the URL would call the script: http://my_url.org/my_script, right? Hmmmm... It says: #!/bin/sh MAPSERV="/path/to/my/mapserv" MS_MAPFILE="/path/to/my/mapfile.map" exec ${MAPSERV} Thanks for any help!
