[Chameleon] RE: Running php as Apache module

Wed May 3 02:52:49 EDT 2006

Hi Dejan,

that's more a question for the MS4W maintainer :-), but I'll give it a shot.

PATH is just the Windows PATH, it will point Mapserver and Mapscript to
the correct location for dll's. Did you try adding these directories to
your Windows PATH environment variable instead? I have had situations with
PHP on Windows where I needed to restart the machine to pick such things
up.

GDAL_DATA is to point GDAL to the correct location for projection csv
files etc., mostly necessary for the Virtual Spatial Data feature if I
remember correctly. You can also use CONFIG for this in your MAP file.

GDAL_DRIVER_PATH is probably only necessary if you use GDAL plugins like
MrSID. You can also use CONFIG for this in your MAP file.

I honestly don't know what the purpose of TMP is in this sense as an
environment variable. If you want to be save set it as a system
environment variable.

Best regards,
Bart
