1. remember to have the correct libmap.dll (from the shared/sde directory)
in the cgi-bin directory
2. ensure that you have the ArcSDE C API Dll's loaded on the mapserver
machine
3. run your mapfile with DEBUG=ON
4. check you have the necessary permissions set for your connecting user to
the ArcSDE layers
5. connection strings we use successfully are:
CONNECTION "servername,port:portnum,database,username,password"
CONNECTIONTYPE SDE
DATA "schema.sdelayername,SHAPE,SDE.DEFAULT"
I'd suggest gettign a mapfile with a shape file as a base (so you know you
are in the correct area) and a single SDE layer to display over the top.
Also check the MapServer log file as this can tell you the errors (whether
permissions, server etc)
What is the message with (-1) ?

Hi Mike,
I tried myself with SDE , SQL server and Mapserver to connect through
Mapfile with ms4w package. I always gets an error (-1) for the SDE
connection. I think mapserver is able to connect through SDE, but it
seems, the Data description within mapfile seems to be wrong.
Do u have any document on how to establish the connection for SDE or How
to define Data for SDE.
I tried everything, whatever is instructed within ms4w readme file for
SDE.
But still i am getting an error.
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
