I have followed the guidelines for setting up a virtual spatial data connection

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/vector_data/VirtualSpatialData,
installed FWTools 1.3.4, tested the connection via ogrinfo successfully, tested
the mapfile (specific layer attached) with the shp2img tool successfully, but I
am having problems with displaying this newly generated layer in my map
window.
At http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/ogrmysql I found a how-to for
OGR connection to MySQL, where it is stated the following
prerequisite "MapServer compiled with OGR version supporting this
functinality". How is it possible to compile my current MapServer to support
OGR for SQL server or should it already work with the current settings?
Thomas,
You are configured to use the OGR ODBC driver, which should be available
in any GDAL/OGR windows build. So there is nothing special required. The
MySQL case is accessing MySQL directly rather than through ODBC.
If shp2img is working, I'd suggest you carefully review permissions for
use of the ODBC DSN for whatever user your web server is running as.
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
BTW, I don't believe that STYLEITEM "AUTO" is going to do anything
for ODBC/VRT datasources. It mostly is useful for mapinfo, and dgn
file formats.
Best regards,
