Brent,

I would create a folder like /var/maps/ or whatever and put all you data (if any), mapfiles, font files, symbols, etc in this tree. then run

sudo chmod -R /var/data

to make it readable.

then in your url map=/var/maps/mymapfile.map

I'm using /var/maps/ just as an example, you could use
/path/to/usbstick/data/ or whatever.

Thanks Luke,

I understand the mapserver URL formatting well enough, my problem is not
understanding where I put the mapfiles within the Ubuntu Apache folder
structures so the mapserver cgi program can find & read them.

Cheers,

   Brent

Hi Brett

Have you read this http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html?

WMS mapfile is set in the WMS url i.e.

http://my.host.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=mywms.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
