[Mapserver-users] demo package on Windows doesnt work

[Ken Waters]

Peter,

Check all of your links in the demo_init.html and demo.map files 
carefully.  There are some Windoze specific gotchas like in some cases 
having to change forward slashes to backslashes and also adding the 
".exe" to "mapserv".  There's a help file 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/demo_readme.html) that explains all 
these things.  Be sure to go through that page very carefully as it 
covers all the special things that need to be done.

I was able to get it to work fairly easily on an XP box with Apache 
running, but as I say, you've got to carefully go through that help file 
step-by-step.
