Hello Bill.
Try escaping the forward slashes... Although they are not a special
character, usually regexes are called between forward slashes /REGEX/,
so it could mess things up.
Try:
SetEnv MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN='^\/var\/www\/mapfiles\/.*$'
Also, $ after .* is irrelevant... :)
Good luck,
Adrian

Others may have different ideas but it seems to me you'll need to
secure the wms binary rather than a directory. (I wouldn't store
mapfiles and templates in a web accessible location
anyway.) There are probably many ways to do this. One idea might be
to have separate
WMS binaries, one for password-protected stuff and another for public
stuff, call 'em wms1 and wms2. Latest versions of MapServer allow you
to set an env variable called
MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN. This is used as a regex test against the
requested mapfile and can
help restrict what can be loaded. It's not fool proof but is a good
start. You could ....
I thought I knew how regex worked but I guess not. Attempting to
follow your advice, I'm trying to run this file from a wrapper:
/var/www/mapfiles/MyMapfile.map
and in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I've set the following line:
SetEnv MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN='^/var/www/mapfiles/.*$'
and restarted the httpd service.
But what's wrong with my regex? I'm getting this error:
msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String
(/var/www/mapfiles/MyMapfile.map) failed expression test.
