Mapserver demo crash

[Ethan Alpert]

I'm not a windows user but the most common problem when mapserv runs
fine at the command line but dies running in the webserver space is it
can't find one or more shared library. Check the IIS's equivalent of
LD_SEARCH_PATH.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapserver demo crash


I'm just getting started with mapserver and was hoping to be able to
play 
around with the demo (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html). I'm 
reasonably certain that my system (XP Pro SP2) is configured correctly, 
because I can run some of the other simple examples I've found on the 
Mapserver home page (I downloaded the 4.4.1 binary and set it up
according 
to the readme file). When I tried to run the demo (from the index.html 
page), however, IIS crashed with a 502 error, so I went to the command
line 
and tried the following:

C:\Inetpub\Scripts>mapserv 
"QUERY_STRING=map=c:/inetpub/wwwroot/workshop/itasca.
map&layer=lakespy2&layer=dlgstln2&zoomsize=1&program=http://localhost/cg
i-bin/ma
pserv.exe&root=http://localhost/workshop&map_web_imagepath=c:/inetpub/ww
wroot/tm
p&map_web_imageurl=http://localhost/tmp&map_web_template=itasca_basic.ht
ml"

As soon as I run the command, however, an error window pops up with the 
following error signature:

AppName: mapserv.exe     AppVer: 0.0.0.0      ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180    Offset: 00018fea

which I have to assume is the cause of the 502 error.

Has anyone run into this problem before? Or know what the cause might
be? Or 
know if I'm just doing something wrong? (If you don't have XP or can't 
reproduce the problem I can post the stack dump.)

Thanks in advance,

Matt
