I am new to Mapserver and the concept of GIS in
general.
I think I followed the install procedure and checked
the FAQ but must have overlooked something.
Here is my setup..
Windows XP with IIS
Installed ms42pg.zip (Mapserver Windows Binary Build)
My IIS folders
C:\Inetpub\tmp\ Temp folder
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tutorial\ tutorial location
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tutorial\data data folder
C:\Inetpub\scripts\mapserver.exe and mapserv.exe
URL
http://localhost/tutorial/
http://localhost/tmp/ temp folder
http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe or mapserver.exe
When I go to http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe I
get the correct result of
No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING not set.
I installed the MapServer Itasca demo and as far as I
can tell it is working.
I get an image and PNG files are placed in my tmp
folder.
Here is my problem..
I can not get the 4.0 Tutorial to work.
I edited my example1-1.html image src to point to my
mapfile
src="/scripts/mapserver.exe?map=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tutorial\example1-1.map&mode=map"
>
The image url generated by example1-1.html is
http://localhost/scripts/mapserver.exe?map=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tutorial\example1-1.map&mode=map
Here is my edited mapfile
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

When I access example1-1html
I get the HTML tutorial but only a small box with a
red x in it where the image was to be.
When I go the URL
http://localhost/scripts/mapserver.exe?map=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tutorial\example1-1.map&mode=map
I get this error message
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not
returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers
it did return are:
PNG
I am sure I forgot to install something or overlooked
something clearly in some documentation but I have
been struggling with this for several days
Can anybody help.
Thank You
Todd Birkenholtz
