[Mapserver-users] Mapserver Install Win32 problems

[Ed McNierney]

Make sure the file zlib.dll is in an accessible location.  Many
folks put it in either \WinNT\system32 (or equivalent) or in the
same directory as mapserv.exe

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Mapserver Install Win32 problems
 
I recently downloaded the precompiled version of Mapserver 4.0.2 for Windows and followed the installation instructions exactly.
 
Next, I downloaded the Mapserver Itasca Application Demo and followed the installation instructions that accompanied that file.  
 
When trying on Apache, I get the following error:
----------------------------------
Internal Server Error
 
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.  
 
Please contact your server administrator, whoever at whatever.com <mailto:whoever at whatever.com>  and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
 
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
----------------------------------
Here is the Apache error log:
-----------------------------------
[Thu Jun 24 15:52:45 2004] [error] [client 192.168.100.53] Premature end of script headers: mapserv.exe, referer: http://wherever.com/workshop/
-----------------------------------
 
When I try to use IIS instead of Apache, I get the following error:
-----------------------------------
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 
CGI Timeout
The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process.
----------------------------------
 
I made sure the system path is right as described in the MapServer install documentation.
I set all relevant folder permissions to full control for the iusr_cname just to make sure this is not a permissions issue.
appropriately (as far as I know) edited the index.html file for the demo
 
I have tried this with both precompiled versions of Mapserver 4.0.2 available with the same results.  
 
Does anyone know where my misconfiguration most likely lies?  With the webserver, the website code, or the filestructure?
 
Has anyone created more detailed instruction on IIS, Apache, or folder permission configuration for this application?
 
Does anyone reccomend for use with Windows at all!??
 
Thanks in advance everyone, 
 
Dats
