Hi Marvin:
 
The mapserver you downloaded has Postgres included and requires this dll,
"LIBPQ.dll" and hence the error (7).
 
You can find it at ,
 
http://postgis.refractions.net/download.php
<http://postgis.refractions.net/download.php>  as, libpq.zip Unzip contents,
copy the libpoq.dll to your windows system directory and register it.
 
HTH,
Gayathri

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Error installing MapServer


Hi all,
    I am having errors with the installation of MapServer 4.0. I followed
the steps:
1-Downloaded the binary MapServer 4.0 for Windows. My platform is Windows XP
with IIS 5.0. 
 
2-Extract the files to C:\Documents and Settings\mario\MyInstall\MapServer
 
3-Copy \Proj to C:\Proj
 
4-Add C:\Documents and Settings\mario\MyInstall\MapServer\lib to the path
variable of my Windows.
 
5-Create the virtual directory Scripts of my Default Web Site because it was
not created. I pointed it to the folder IIS C:\Inetpub\Scripts.
 
6-Copy mapserv.exe to C:\Inetpub\Scripts.
 
7-Opened a command prompt window in C:\Inetpub\Scripts and typed:
mapserv.exe. I got the following error: "This application failed to start
because LIBPQ.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this
problem."
 
8-tried to execute from the browser and get the following error: "CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:"  And no header is shown at
all.
 
    Can anybody help me on how to proceed to get a correct installation?.
    Regards,
                Mario
