[ka-Map-users] Problem in ka-Map after server upgrade

[Stephen Woodbridge]

This is probably caused by the fact that mapserver has also been 
upgraded and their are some changes to the mapfile that are required in 
the newer versions of mapserver.

You need to looks that the mapserver upgrade release notes and mapfile 
compatibility issues.

locate mapserv | grep -w mapserv
/path/to/mapserv -v

That will tell you what version of mapserver is installed. and then you 
can look at upgrade issue for that version.

Also, you should seriously look at upgrading this application to 
OpenLayers and mapcache for managing the tiles. kaMap is VERY obsolete 
and is not supported anymore.
