[Gautam Ganguly]

Hi all,
   I managed to make it run.I just tried the age old process of working
with any thing windows-to restart the machine..and it started to
work.And the demo works too!!!
  So i if any one faces these kind of issues ,its better to  restart
the machine.

Hi all,
   I am a newbie to Mapserver and in the process of using mapserver
ver4.0
for Oracle Spatial on Win2000 server.I followed the instruction for
installing the server as well as the demo app.But when i try to access
the
map server from my browser using: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe
, i
get these error message: CGI Error: The specified CGI application
misbehaved
by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did
return
are:

My system Setup is: Win2000 Advanced
IIS : 5.0
Binary file name from the download site:  ms40_gif_oracle.zip
I followed the install as is given on the site at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/demo_readme.html.

I did search  the mailing list archive  for the solution, but didnot
find
any. Before sending these mail i tried  the hints provided on the
mailing
list as noted below: A)From command prompt when i run mapserv.exe,i get
the
following
message:
C:\Inetpub\cgi-bin>mapserv.exe
This script can only be used to decode form results and
should be initiated as a CGI process via a httpd server.

B)by passing -v parameter i get the following output in the command
prompt:
C:\Inetpub\cgi-bin>mapserv.exe -v
MapServer version 4.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT
INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Any help would be highly appreciated.

regards,
Gautam
