Thu Jun 24 15:04:59 PDT 2004

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>I recently downloaded the precompiled version of Mapserver 4.0.2 for Windows and followed the installation instructions exactly.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Next, I downloaded the Mapserver Itasca Application Demo and followed the installation instructions that accompanied that file.  </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>When trying on Apache, I get the following error:</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Internal Server Error</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.  </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Please contact your server administrator, whoever<A href="mailto:whoever at whatever.com">@whatever.com</A> and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>More information about this error may be available in the server error log.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Here is the Apache error log:</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>-----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>[Thu Jun 24 15:52:45 2004] [error] [client 192.168.100.53] Premature end of script headers: mapserv.exe, referer: <A href="http://wherever.com/workshop/">http://wherever.com/workshop/</A></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>-----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>When I try to use IIS instead of Apache, I get the following error:</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>-----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>C:\Inetpub\Scripts>HTTP/1.1 502 Gateway Error Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1 Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2004 22:03:45 GMT Connection: close Content-Length: 186 Content-Type: text/html <BR>CGI Timeout<BR>The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>----------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I made sure the system path is right as described in the MapServer install documentation.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I set all relevant folder permissions to full control for the iusr_cname just to make sure this is not a permissions issue.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>appropriately (as far as I know) edited the index.html file for the demo</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I have tried this with both precompiled versions of Mapserver 4.0.2 available with the same results.  </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Does anyone know where my misconfiguration most likely lies?  With the webserver, the website code, or the filestructure?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Has anyone created more detailed instruction on IIS, Apache, or folder permission configuration for this application?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Does anyone reccomend for use with Windows at all!??</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Thanks in advance everyone, </DIV>
