[mapserver-users] [Fwd: FAQ]

[Chan B. Huynh]

After you point a browser at http://host/ms_demo/demo_init.html and slapping
the 'initialize' button

demo_init.html will execute
<form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">

and that's when the error occur if mapserv.exe corrupted or cannot be
execute.

sorry i mean mapserv.exe

>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">
