[mapserver-users] [Fwd: FAQ]

>From your description, it is not clear to me when this error is occurring.

If you are using the Win32 binary, I see a potential problem in that when you call the binary, you need to use the name 'mapserv.exe'.

Try changing the line from:

> <form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
> 
To:

> <form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">
>
