[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapserver demo crash

[Matt Garrish]

I've had slightly better luck with Win2k, but still can't get the
demo running. When I try to initialize the demo, filemon shows that 
mapserv.exe is reporting success reading 
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\symbols\ctyhwy.png, but
then immediately calls Dr. Watson to generate an event in the
application log and promptly times out. The error reported is as
follows:

Event Type:	Information
Event Source:	DrWatson
Event Category:	None
Event ID:	4097
Date:		8/3/2005
Time:		4:32:48 PM
User:		N/A
Computer:	MGARRISH
Description:
The application, , generated an application error The error occurred on 08/03/2005 @ 16:32:48.859 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 77F8F281 (RtlpWaitForCriticalSection) 

The only other suspicious thing I see is that before trying to open ctyhwy.png mapserv.exe tries and fails to open the location c:\usr\local\lib - which I assume is hard-coded into the executable, because I can't find that path anywhere in the demo files.

Does anyone know if the demo is backward compatible with older versions of mapserver? I'm running the 4.4.1 Windows binary, but grabbed the demo from the 4.6 release.

Run filemon (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html) while loading the page and check the result to see if there's any ACCESS DENIED or suspicious FILE NOT FOUND.

> It only dies in IIS when I run the demo (so far, anyway). I am, for example, able to run the "Hello World" example on the recipes page (http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/). Aside from the parameters that get passed from the index.html page (reproduced below), I've set the following in the itasca.map file:
> 
> SHAPEPATH "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/workshop/data"
> 
> WMS_ONLINERESOURCE "http://localhost/workshop/index.html"
> 
> I'm going to try running the example on a win2k box and see if it's something specific to XP (I've tried a couple of different XP boxes with the same result).
