Seth,
Thanks for the suggestions. I already have tried the change in
the config, but I'll check the settings for the handler.

Subject: Re: [MapServer-users] Frustrating error: msLoadMap(): Regular
expression error. Filename validation failed
Hi Tim,
>From https://mapserver.org/installation/iis.html#troubleshooting
The following error is returned (from MapServer 8.0) if allowPathInfo="false"
is set in the handlers section for MapServer in the web.config file. This
should be set to true:
msLoadMap(): Regular expression error. MS_DEFAULT_MAPFILE_PATTERN
validation failed.
You could also try the following in your CONFIG file. Note you'll need to
restart IIS to pick up any changes. Also try adding some broken syntax (e.g.
CONFIGX) to check the file is being picked up.
CONFIG
ENV
MS_MAP_PATTERN "."

I'm working on porting a development environment to our production server.
Using:
Mapserver 8.2.2 binaries from GISInternals
IIS 10
Windows Server 2016
The permissions are the same on both servers, I have Mapserver set up as a
FastCGI module and have the MAPSERVER_CONFIG_FILE Env variable set. I've
attached the Config file here, but it's pretty simple, and I can confirm it's
being read.
The error I'm getting is: msLoadMap(): Regular expression error. Filename
validation failed
I've googled this, and only found one other user who seemed to have a similar
problem. They never posted a clear solution, and their workaround was to point
to the endpoint with no mapserv.exe in the path (just the endpoint), but had no
idea why this worked. It did not work for me, however. What is confusing is
that I have no validation for the files. I have a MAPS key set, which works on
Development, and have set the MS_MAP_PATTERN to *.* to try and eliminate any
validation mistakes. The map files are ones that have been in use for some
time, with no issues. Hitting just the raw endpoint delivers the expected
'QUERY_STRING is set, but empty. 'but still also includes the Filename
validation error.
Am I missing a PATH environment variable that is required?
Anyone have any ideas for me to test out?
