<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>loadParams() looks for the query string in the CGI enviroment variables and parses them to fill the OWSRequest object. Now, for whatever reason our FastCGI setup didn't have the expected parameters and this was causing the process to die as explained in <A href="http://mapserver.org/ogc/mapscript.html#use-in-non-cgi-environments-mod-php-etc">http://mapserver.org/ogc/mapscript.html#use-in-non-cgi-environments-mod-php-etc</A>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>So we are now just parsing the query string and manually filling the Request object.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've run into a problem with running PHP MapScript and FastCGI on a development server I've been setting up. It's a Windows Server 2003 box with IIS6 and I've installed MapServer 5.4 and PHP 5.2.9. I obtained the necessary dlls for PHP MapScript from the MS4W MapServer 5.4.0rc2 release. The FastCGI install is version 1.0 from iis.net.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I tested the basic install before adding FastCGI and everything worked properly in my test file (a GetCapabilities request on a simple one image mapfile). I couldn't find any IIS-specific install instructions for FastCGI so I attempted to adapt the instructions given here for Apache: <A href="http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#f-fastcgi">http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#f-fastcgi</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Running the GetCapabilities request again throws me the following 500 error:</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The loadparams() call is the source of the problem but I've been completely unable to find a solution.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>So far this is the only piece of code I can find that will cause the error. All other normal PHP operations and MapScript code that I've tried work without issue</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This one has me quite stumped, any help would be much appreciated.</FONT></P>
