[maplab-users] Trouble getting (re)started

[Paul Spencer]

what about trying:

http://localhost/maplab/

since you nicely set up an alias for that :)

but if you are getting just php code instead of a web page then PHP is 
not properly configured.  But it all looks right ... perhaps a small 
typo or extra space somewhere ... or an extra / somewhere?

You can also try http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/ to setup apache, php, 
mapscript and maplab in a fully preconfigured environment that *should* 
work out of the box :)

Cheers,

Paul
