[Mapserver-users] demo config problem

[Changqing Zhou]

Further digging into the threads, I found one silimar issue which was
resolved by Perry and Yuri:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma_glimpse/mapserver-users?query=Unrecognized+character&errors=0&maxfiles=50&maxlines=10&.cgifields=lineonly&.cgifields=restricttofiles&.cgifields=filelist&.cgifields=partial&.cgifields=case

Note: I have the same error in the log:
2004-04-16 23:33:18 StandardContext[/mapserver]cgi: runCGI
(stderr):Unrecognized character \x90 at
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19\webapps\mapserver\WEB-INF\cgi\mapserver\mapserv.exe
line 1.
2004-04-16 23:33:18 StandardContext[/mapserver]cgi: runCGI: 1 lines
received on stderr

In Yuri's thread, the problem was with Apache, while I am running Tomcat,
just becasue I have Tomcat installed before.

Anybody had any success with Tomcat?

Appreciate your insight!
