IIS Config problem

[Ed McNierney]

V P -

You're using the passive voice and lots of pronouns <g>.  I can't tell
what "was provided" in "their" demo.  All I know is that you downloaded
a file named mapserv.exe from somewhere on the Internet!

I don't recommending just googling for DLLs and downloading them, as you
may have version problems.  You can try, but you've been warned!  You're
better off finding a complete distribution.

However, your other error message changes things a bit - you didn't
mention it before.  The tutorial.zip test is clearly getting much
further.  When you get the "getString ()" error message below, try
editing the URL by chopping off everything after and including the
question mark (?).  You should get the error:

No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty. 

If you do, stop worrying about zlib for a while, since your distribution
may in fact be working fine.

'Workshop.zip' was one of the demos that was provided. Prior to
downloading it, I installed a pre-compiled version of the mapserver for
Win 2k, which I successfully got running. My only problem is, I'm having
trouble running their demo with it. I had even tried running the
'tutorial.zip' demo as well. I didn't quite get the same error with the
'tutorial.zip' demo.. I got a web page displaying..

getString(): Symbol definition error. Duplicate item (NAME):(line 381)

would both of these errors be because I don't have the zlib.dll file? I
was able to find a zlib.dll file from this site..

If this is what I need, where would I place this? in the system32 folder
or the mapserver's 'bin' folder. I've tried both places. The demos still
don't work. Could I be doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.
