[Geomoose-users] Error: Website Declined to Show Page

[Brian Fischer]

I would need to know what version of IIS they are running.  As of IIS 7, Microsoft does not let you run CGI programs without some custom configuration.  It is a big pain and we have started to migrate more to Apache only because of that.

Ed,

  Sounds like a permissions problem with Windows/IIS.  Is IIS v6 or v7?  From my notes on IIS 6 you need to:

1. Create virtual directories in IIS
2. Set write permissions on on the ms_tmp folder
3. Set the IIS Web Service Extensions to allow .php and Mapserver CGI.

But I don't think any of that covers the problem you've described.  Is the mapserver_url in your mapbook relative or absolute?


Best Regards,

Brent Fraser

I just had a client install MS4W 3.0.1 and GeoMoose 2.4 onto a Windows Server 2003 computer.  They are able to get the localhost webpage but when they try to access the GeoMoose webpage they get a 403 Forbidden Error stating  "Website Declined to Show Page".  The server has IIS and Exchange installed.  Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this issue?  The website will only be available internally.
