[mapserver-users] setenv MS_MAPFILE not working

[asle]

Hi,
I have just setup and am running mapserver 5 on OS X Server 10.5. I have
tried to set this in an include conf file:
SetEnv Request_URI "/cgi-bin/demo" MS_MAPFILE=/MS/apps/demo/demo.map
SetEnv Request_URI "/cgi-bin/demo" MS_ERRORFILE=/MS/apps/demo/ms.log

but it is not working. The mapserver excecutable is called "demo". I have a
catalog in webroot called "MS" which is the domains webfolder. I have a
folder in there with the structure like above with the demo.map in the demo
folder. Still if I write the URL: http://domainname../cgi-bin/demo I get
No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty. If I use
this URL it works,
http://borchbio.no/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/Library/WebServer/Documents/MS/apps/demo/demo.map&layer=n5byggflate&mode=map
except I get another error which is another problem. Now I just want to get
the shortcut to work. Are these paths relative to the drive root or to the
apache root (/Library/WebServer/Documents/)?
Thanks!

Did you mean to use SetEnvIf instead of SetEnv? i.e.

SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/demo" MS_MAPFILE=/MS/apps/demo/demo.map
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/demo" MS_ERRORFILE=/MS/apps/demo/ms.log

Yes, of course I miswrote that. This should be correct?
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/demo" MS_MAPFILE=/MS/apps/demo/demo.map
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/demo" MS_ERRORFILE=/MS/apps/demo/ms.log

But I still get the same error when I type the URL
http://domainname.../cgi-bin/demo
No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty.

Hi,

This is not an error. You do not ask Mapserver to do anything for you, therefore it answers "QUERY_STRING is set, but empty." Add something reasonable to the query and you may start seeing something. You can start by addind
?mode=map&layers=all
and sending the query from browser.

Thanks,
I thought that setenvif should fix that but I understand it needs some more
info. When I then enter
http://domainname.../cgi-bin/demo?mode=map&layers=all
I then get this error:
loadMap(): Web application error. CGI variable "map" is not set.
so it seems it could be my path is not set correctly in my mapserv.conf
(http). Is the pathe in SETENVIF local or from the webroot for apache or
webroot for the domain?

I tried full physical path but it does not work. What would be correct paths
for the file on OS X. Any Idea?
This is OS X Server 10.5.6 running Apache 2.2. Here is the included conf
file:

Alias /demo "/Library/WebServer/Naturkart/kulturminnekart/apps/demo/"
# set directory defaults for the above mapping

<Directory "/Naturkart/kulturminnekart/apps/demo/">
AllowOverride None
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/demo"
MS_MAPFILE=/Library/WebServer/Documents/Naturkart/kulturminnekart/apps/demo/demo.map
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/demo"
MS_ERRORFILE=/Library/WebServer/Documents/Naturkart/kulturminnekart/apps/demo/ms.log
