The only thing that needs to change in your mapfile from windows to
linux are the paths.
Are you familiar with linux? With a recent version of mapserver you can
use both relative and absolute paths in a mapfile. Here is a simple
example that shows both. The mapfile sits at
/work/CPC/Mapping/mapfiles/. One note when using includes; if you nest
them, the path is relative to the FIRST mapfile.
