Dear Vincent,
probably I'm not able to explain properly my problem.  I know either the
path or name of your mapfile is invalid, or mapserver does not have access
to it. That file does not exist.
My real problem is that I'm not able to see in my browser an error like
that I can see in my dos console ("msLoadMap(): Unable to access
file.(/var/mapserver/mapfiles/province2.map)".
I read in my browser an "obscure" error: "CGI Error The specified CGI
application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The
headers it did return are:"
When I have had in my server a working mapserver application I had the
possibility to read error clearer error messages in my browser. For this
reason I think there is something "strange" in my actual mapserver
installation.

Thank you,

Andrea

Well, as it sais 'msloadmap (the function that produced the error message:
the
mapfile loading function): unable to access file', either the path or name
of
your mapfile is invalid, or mapserver does not have access to it. As I
think
you are on windows I am afraid I can't help you with file access issues. I
have only experience with this on linux. Maybe someone else on the list can

help you with that.
But first check if your mapfile is really there and does exist.

Regards,
Vincent.
