[Mapserver-west] Re : Running a Mapserver

[Jeff Lounsbury]

Hi Krishnan,

Mapserver is not a long running process, so there is no "starting" it. 
If you have it installed properly, all you have to do is make a request 
to the correct url. Mapserver will run, process your request then stop 
again till another url request comes in.

Something like:

http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/path_to_your_map_file&request=getcapabilities

Once you get that to work in a browser with the right path and map file, 
you should be able to put that url in uDig and have it work there as well.

Cheers,
-Jeff
