[Cartoweb-dev] map file CONNECTION without absolute paths?

[Marc.Monnerat at swisstopo.ch]

Hello,

What type of format are you using ? It look like it's esri arcinfo
coverage...

CONNECTIONTYPE local is only for shapefile only (and you can omit it). It
has nothing to do with absolute or relative path to data. If you want to use
some coverage, use something like:
CONNECTIONTYPE ogr 


For more informations, look the excellent "vector data access"

Stupid,

I forgot to change CONNECTIONTYPE to local. Did it now and included the
filename in the DATA attribute. Anyway, it doesn't work:

Error in msSHPOpenFile():
(C:\wamp\www\cartoweb3/projects/gis-lag/server_conf/gis-lag/data/Administrat
iveBoundaries/boundary/arc)

I also tried it with extension (arc.adf) and without specifying the filename
(only the folder). I get the same error :-(

Thanks in Advance
Carolin
