MapServer 4.4.1 Demo

[Brent Fraser]

Christine,

  In your first example it appears that mapserver was reading the map file but crashed for some reason.  In the second example it couldn't find the map file because it expects a file system path not a url.  So the first example is good, but the second is not (mapserver just handled the second case a lot better!).

The crash is likely due to a missing dll required by mapserver.  

You can run mapserv.exe from the command line to get messages about missing dlls.  Here are the steps:

1. Open a command prompt window on your server
2. cd to the location of mapserv.exe
3. type in
        mapserv QUERY_STRING="

4. Copy the query string from the your browser address bar  and paste it into the command window.  The query string should look like:

layer=lakespy2&layer=dlgstln2&zoomsize=2&map=%2Finetpub%2Fwwwroot%2Fworkshop%2Fitasca.map&program=%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmapserv.exe&root=%2Fworkshop&map_web_imagepath=%2Finetpub%2Fwwwroot%2Ftmp%2F&map_web_imageurl=%2Ftmp%2F&map_web_template=itasca_basic.html

5. Add a double quote to the end of the string and press return.

If a dll is missing, the operating system will show a dialog box giving the name of the dll.

  I've installed MapServer and successfully received the "No query information to decode.  QUERY_STRING is set, but empty." message.  Now I am trying to get the MapServer 4.4.1 Demo to work.  (Windows Server 2003, IIS6, MapServer 4.4.1)

   

  Here are the steps I have taken:

   

  1.       Copied the WORKSHOP folder to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

  2.       Created a tmp folder inside C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop and gave the IUSR account Read/Write/Execute permissions

  3.       Set default page to INDEX.HTML in IIS

  4.       Changed Execute Permissions in IIS to allow SCRIPTS and EXECUTABLES.

  5.       Edited INDEX.HTML file as follows (edits in bold):

   

  <!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION -->

  <form name="demo" method="GET" action="http:\\esgisrv001\cgi-bin\mapserv.exe" onSubmit="submit_form()">

   

        <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="lakespy2">

        <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="dlgstln2">

        <input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>

   

        <!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->

        <input type="hidden" name="map" value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\itasca.map">

        <input type="hidden" name="program" value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">

        <input type="hidden" name="root" value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\">

        <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath" value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\tmp\">

        <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\tmp\">

   

  I get the MapServer Itasca Application initial screen, but when I click to initialize the BASIC APPLICATION using these variables I receive the following error:

  CGI Error

  The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

   

  6.       Edited INDEX.HTML file as follows (edits in bold):

   

  <!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION -->

      <form name="demo" method="GET" action="http:\\esgisrv001\cgi-bin\mapserv.exe" onSubmit="submit_form()">

   

        <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="lakespy2">

        <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="dlgstln2">

        <input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>

   

        <!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->

        <input type="hidden" name="map" value="http:\\esgisrv001\workshop\itasca.map">

        <input type="hidden" name="program" value="http:\\esgisrv001\cgi-bin\mapserv.exe">

        <input type="hidden" name="root" value="http:\\esgisrv001\workshop\">

        <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath" value="http:\\esgisrv001\workshop\tmp\">

        <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="http:\\esgisrv001\workshop\tmp\">

   

  I get the MapServer Itasca Application initial screen, but when I click to initialize the BASIC APPLICATION using these variables I receive the following error:

   

  msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (http:\\esgisrv001\workshop\itasca.map)

   

  Can anyone help?

   

  Thanks.
