[mapserver-users] trying to test my install with the sample data

[Seth Rodriguez]

Hey all. Thanx to all for your much appreciated help and patience. I
believe that I have gotten the third win32 binary
(ms36gif_gdal_pg_wms.zip
<http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32bin/ms363gif_gdal_wms.zip> ) loaded
properly using IIS on my desktop winXP machine, and I am trying to test
it with the sample data. Using the directions offered at MapServer 3.5
Demo <http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/demo_readme.html>
Instructions, I have edited the demo_init.html and demo.map files as
instructed with no problem. Here is where I have hit a bump. To make
sure that my web server and mapserver cgi program are running properly,
I typed http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe into my internet explorer
window. The tutorial says I should get the message - no query
information to decode. Query_string set, but empty. I got the message as
- No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING not set. Any idea what I
have done wrong? Also, I am when I run mapserv.exe, I get that annoying
open/save message box that seems to be preventing my app from working
properly. Please help. The end seems so close yet so far away.
