CGI variable "map" fails to validate.

[MrApe]

I'm trying to get the mapserver up and running but get the following error:

msCGILoadMap(): Web application error. CGI variable "map" fails to validate.

Here is my compose file:

version: '3'
services:
  mapserver:
    image: camptocamp/mapserver
    ports:
      - 8081:80
    volumes:
      - $PWD/mapserver/:/etc/mapserver/
    restart: unless-stopped

The local mapserver dir contains the following:

mapserver
├── data
│   └── states_ugl.shp
└── mapserver.map

• mapserver.map is the example file from the map server tutorial.
• states_ugl.shp is the corresponding shapes file.

I changed the SHAPEPATH to use the data-directory:

SHAPEPATH      "data"

mapserver.map

# MapServer map file uses the pound sign (#) to denote the start of a line
# comment--each line that needs to be commented has to be prepended with a "#".
#
# Map files begin with MAP keyword to signify the start of the map object.
# Well, the entire map file is THE map object.  Enclosed between MAP and END
# at the very bottom of this map file, are keyword/value pairs and other
# objects.

The query used is:

http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/etc/mapserver/mapserver.map

What could be the problem?

Is there a typo in the querystring?

http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/etc/mapserver/mapserve.map

Shouldn't it be http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/etc/mapserver/mapserver.map

Thanks for helping out. It was actually just a type in the issue, not the original query. I double checked and fixed the original post.
