Hello Frank,

Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong?
no....
have you checked whether the variable is really set with the correct name and value/path+filename?
-> printenv | grep 'MAPSERVER'

I remember a few times MapServer needed +RW instead of +R

Usually I don't use system variables, for me it works fine setting the config-file in the apache-config like

SetEnv MAPSERVER_CONFIG_FILE /data/config/mapserver/mapserver.conf
FcgidInitialEnv MAPSERVER_CONFIG_FILE /data/config/mapserver/mapserver.conf

(depending on cgi / fcgi)

Hi MapServer users,

I'm having problems getting MapServer 8 to read the conf file on my Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster machine. I installed MapServer using the command "sudu apt install cgi-mapserver" and this installs 8.0.0-3build2. However, when I test the installation I get an error:

"msLoadConfig(): Unable to access file. See mapserver.org/config_file.html for more information."


I have created a conf file that looks like this:
CONFIG
   MAPS
     ECSRP_MAPFILE "/var/www/ecsrp/mapfiles/ecsrp.map"
   END
END


I have created a system-wide environment variable pointing to the conf file:
MAPSERVER_CONFIG_FILE=/usr/local/etc/mapserver.conf


I have granted read access to Owner/Group/Others on both mapserver.conf and ecsrp.map but still get the msLoadConfig() error.


Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong?


Regards, Frank.
