problem with running the MS Demo

[Wim Blanken]

Hello Gur,

You are working on windows. Therefore you have to point the action url to mapserv_48.exe (and not to mapserv_48).

(mind the .exe)

Regards.

  Hi,
  I am a new user, and I am trying to run the demo without any success.
  I run the MS over Win32 platform.
  I follow the instruction of installing MS for windows, and now I am trying to run the demo.

  The MS install in: C:\
  The Demo install in:C:\MS4W\workshop
  The cgi-bin is in:C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin   and there ther are some execute file: mapserv.exe, mapserv_46.exe, mapserv_48.exe

  I do the following changes in the index.html (marked in red):

  ...
  <!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION -->

  <form name="demo" method="GET" action="/Apache/cgi-bin/mapserv_48" 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="/workshop/itasca.map">

  <input type="hidden" name="program" value="/Apache/cgi-bin/mapserv_48">

  <input type="hidden" name="root" value="/workshop">

  <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath" value="/tmp/">

  <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="/tmp/">

  .....



  Now I opened the index.html, and When I pressed the "Initialize" button, the address in the URL is "C:\Apache\cgi-bin\mapserv_48",

  and i got the message: "The page cannot be displayed".

  What did I do wrong?
