[Mapserver-users] (newbie): Win32 Apache error when callingMapserv.exe

[Balkanu GIS]

Thank you again Tyler & Pericles,

I changed "Options All MultiViews" to "Options ExecCGI" without apparent
success, but commenting out the <IfModule></IfModule>... block did the
trick! The unfortunate thing is that I don't know why...

Nevertheless Mapserve.exe was able to respond. Having opened
".../ms_demo/demo_init.html" and clicked on "Initialize" to send the
starting parameters to MapServer, I am presented with the error:
"msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (/maps/ms_demo/demo.map)"

I suppose this is most likely a permissions error, again probably a result
of my mauling of httpd.conf. The file is most certainly in that location,
but cannot be opened. I'm supposing that the function "msLoadMap()" is
contained in the MapServer application.

Should I be allowing localhost/127.0.01 access to "/maps/ms_demo/" through
httpd.conf?

Tyler,

Thanks for coming back to this.  I found a few more inconsistencies with the
configuration file.  Those last two lines might actually be ok--there might
be a beginning <IfModule mod_alias.c> tag somewhere above the beginning of
the snippet Yuri sent us.

What I would try then, Yuri, is comment out the <IfModule
mod_perl.c></IfModule> block:

...
<Directory "C:/phpdev/www/cgi-bin">

#<IfModule mod_perl.c>
#  Sethandler perl-script
#  PerlHandler Apache::Registry
#  PerlSendHeader On
#  </IfModule>
  Options All MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
...

Oh, one more thing...  Perhaps this is all you need to do.  Change "Options
All MultiViews" to "Options ExecCGI".  Hah!  I just saw the line above.  I
bet that's all you need to do.
