[mapserver-users] FW: Get demo started on Windows 2000.

Wed Sep 11 14:15:42 EDT 2002

Thanks for the many replies to my question below.
I still have the same problem even after I make sure the "\" are "/" and all
the permissions are set correctly for the 'tmp' directory and trying
  <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl"
value="http://<myserver>/tmp/">

Is there another way of checking that the basic functionality of mapserv.exe
is working correctly or can anyone think of anything else that I may have
over looked.
BTW: In IE when I click "Initialize" and the new "MapServer Demo Interface "
web page pops up,  the properties of the "x" images appear
correct(http://dell810/tmp/DEMOleg10317674441924.gif) but nothing is being
written to the tmp directory.

I'm using windows 2000, IIS, MapServer3.6.1
Thanks
John

Subject: Get demo started on Windows 2000.

I've got the demo "itasca" to work on my windows NT, but I really want it to
work on my windows 2000. I've installed everything in the correct places as
described in 'readme.gif.wms.html' when installing the binary (pre-compiled)
MApserver version 3.6.1.
I changed my demo.map file and demo_init.html file to work with my windows
IIS. When I load demo_init.html in IE and click 'Initialize' the MapServer
Demo Interface pops up, but no images are show. There are no Images that are
created in the "tmp" directory. It worked on my Windows nt, same setup.

THe following is my demo_init.html file:
<html>
<head><title>MapServer Demo Interface</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<center><h2>MapServer Demo Interface</h2></center>
<p><hr><p>
Click on the initialize button to fire up the demo with 3 layers turned on
will be accessible for browsing. The
data are of Itasca County, MN and were derived, for the most part, from USGS
1:24,000 quadrangles. Some things to note are:

<form method=GET action="http://dell810/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">

<input type="hidden" name="map" value="c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/itasca/demo.map">
<input type="hidden" name="layer" value="lakespy2">
<input type="hidden" name="layer" value="dlgstln2">
<input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>

<input type="hidden" name="program" value="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
value="c:/inetpub/wwwroot/tmp/">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="/tmp/">

<center><input type="submit" value="Initialize"></center>

</form>

<p><hr><p>

</body></html>
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
