Installation of Mapserver</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello all,<BR><BR>I have tried to install mapserver on my
Windows PC.<BR>I have Apachy running on it and I used the description <BR>that
I found in the release.<BR>I use :PROJ_LIB and have updated the path to
the DLL's.<BR><BR>Then at point 9 it goes wrong:<BR> 9. Test
MapServer by typing "<A href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe"
eudora="autourl"> http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe</A>" on
you<BR> browser. It should return the following
message:<BR> <I>"No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is
set, but empty."<BR><BR></I>Instead of the "no query message" I get the
reply:<BR><BR>
<H1><B>"Internal Server Error</B></H1><I>The server encountered an internal
error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your
request.<BR><BR>Please contact the server administrator, john@hulst.name and
inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
that may have caused the error.<BR><BR>More information about this error may
be available in the server error log.<BR>
<HR>
Apache/2.0.52 (Win32) Server at 83.179.14.148 Port 80 <BR>"<BR><BR></I>Anybody
seen something simular? Since I am a newby on Apachy as well as Mapserver I
hope that you can help me.<BR><BR>Thanks and regards,<BR><BR>John
Hulst<BR>-------------------------------------<BR><BR>Installation
Instructions:<BR>1. Unzip the package to a directory. For example,
"C:\MapServer".<BR>2. View the README-Binaries.txt from "C:\Mapserver" for
information on support<BR> compiled with this package.<BR>3. View
README for credits and license information.<BR>4. View HISTORY.TXT for
additional information on MapServer 4.4.1<BR>5. Copy mapserv.exe from
"C:\MapServer\bin" to your web server's cgi-bin<BR> directory. (In
Microsoft's IIS, this is either in "C:\Inetpub\Scripts" or<BR>
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin". In Apache v1.3.x, this is usually
in<BR> "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin".)<BR>6. Copy
directory "Proj" to "C:\". (You should end up with a directory<BR>
"C:\Proj".) Alternatively, leave the "proj" subdirectory where it is and
add <BR> a variable called PROJ_LIB to your system environment and
enter the path to <BR> your "proj\nad" subdirectory as the value
(example: system variable: PROJ_LIB, <BR> value:
C:\MapServer\Proj\NAD).<BR>7. Copy the dynamic link libraries (the files with
.dll extensions) to your<BR> system directory--this is typically
"C:\Windows\system" on Windows 98 or<BR> "C:\Windows\system32" on
Windows 2000 and XP. Alternatively, you can leave<BR> the
dlls where they are and update your system PATH to include the path
to<BR> your "bin" directory (i.e. "C:\MapServer\bin").<BR>8.
Restart your web server.<BR>9. Test MapServer by typing "<A
href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe" eudora="autourl">
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe</A>" on you<BR>browser. It should
return the following message:<BR>"No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING
is set, but empty." </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
