Hi Allan,
I have enhanced the documentation for this, see the section titled
"Securing your MS4W Installation" at
https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#securing-your-ms4w-installation and
go through the "Security Steps to Enable" there.
In summary, be sure to edit your local /ms4w/ms4w.conf, and make sure
the correct drive is specified for the MS_MAP_PATTERN
Then, you can test your mapfile locally, to verify that your MAP= path
validates with your local path, by editing this url & its path :
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=E:/ms4w/apps/local_demo/local_test.map&MODE=browse&TEMPLATE=openlayers&LAYERS=all
(the above contains underscores, which worked for me out-of-the-box, but
I did have to change the drive path to E: as part of the MS_MAP_PATTERN
in ms4w.conf )
(the new setup.exe installer handles the MS_MAP_PATTERN for you, for
those that use it)
Thanks,
-jeff

Hi all,
I'm in the process of moving to the 5.0 release of MS4W. I have a
clean install, and I added my existing (working) maps. When I try to
test my maps in QGIS I get:
msCGILoadMap(): Web application error. CGI variable "map"; fails
to validate.
I saw the issue tracker entry about this, and the pattern mentioned
there appears to match what's in the MS_BAD_MAP_PATTERN SetEnv in the
httpd.conf file.
Any idea what's going on? My main map file has a couple underscore
characters in it, but worked perfectly with the last version of MS4w...
