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>

-------------------------------------<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." </body>
