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?)?
Hi Stefan,
Yes, this is also an option. You can use environment variables for your
mapfile path and refer to the environment variable in the "map=..."
parameter
e.g.
in Apache's httpd.conf:
SetEnv MYMAP1=/home/include/mapfiles/my_map1.map
SetEnv MYMAP2=/home/include/mapfiles/my_map2.map
...
and then in your mapserv URL use:
/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=MYMAP1&...
