[MS4W-Users] Issue in configuring Mapserver for windows

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

The error is clear and it states that Mapserver can't find shapefile "world_adm0.shp" from the root directory of your C: drive C:\
Root directory is not the best possible for datafiles so I suggest you to create c:\data for your datafiles and place the world_adm0.shp shapefile there and edit your mapfile accordingly. I suppose that you have the world_adm0.shp shapefile already, have you?
