[mapserver-users] sample data test

[Martin, Daniel]

Sure sounds to me like you aren't going through the server.  Is the URL in
your browser  http://localhost/somepage.htm <http://localhost/somepage.htm>
or is it C:\inetpub\wwwroot\somepage.htm.  If it is the latter, you would
have the exact problem you mention.

Subject: [mapserver-users] sample data test



I am stumped with getting my app running properly. Here is where I am at. I
installed IIS on my windows XP machine. I downloaded the third binary and
the library zip in the windows list. I put the mapserv.exe at
C:\Inetpub\Scripts. I extracted the sample data to
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\itasca. I put the epsg file at C:\Proj\nad. I edited the
map doc and the initialize doc according the sample tutorial instructions. I
tested my mapserv CGI program (with some help from the community) and it
seems to be responding properly. To do the final test of the demo_init.html,
I loaded it in Internet Explorer and clicked on the Initialize button. This
prompted a save/download popup. I chose to open the file, which should
simply run the exe from its location. Once I choose this option, the
mapserv.exe seems to run, i.e. a dos window quickly pops up and then goes
away without an error message. All of this seems so good so far, but once
the mapserv.exe run, my window stays at the demo_init.html document. It is
my understanding that the exe should engage the demo.html document and the
map should load with three layers turned on, but I get nothing. Thanx to
those in the community how have gotten me to where I am now. However, I do
need a bit more help. Anyone out there know why my CGI program doesn't seem
to be hitting my demo.html? Is there some code I need to edit? Please help.
Thanx in advance for your time.
