IIS Config problem

[Ed McNierney]

Yes, that's what this forum is for.  But there are quite a few different
versions of compiled MapServer code running around the Internet, so it's
very helpful to specify exactly what file you downloaded and where you
downloaded it from.  For example, there are no Windows binaries on the
page you reference, but there's a link to a "Windows binaries" page with
several different versions.  To help everyone else help you, please be
specific about what version you downloaded and are using - thanks!

Yes, if that's what's happening then you should focus on your demo
setup.  Follow the instructions in the tutorial, and let us know (a)
exactly what problem you have and (b) exactly what you did when that
problem occurred.

Hi. Sorry, I'm extremely new to mapservers and GIS. I thought this forum
was based on Minnesota's Mapserver problems. Anyhow, for clarity
purposes, I dl'd a pre-compiled mapserver from MN's mapserver site
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html). One of the files included in
the download was mapserv.exe. Here they had also provided 2,
'workshop.zip'
and
'tutorial.zip'(http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/tutorial/download.ht
ml). ..

As far as my problem goes with the tutorial.zip test, I had deleted the
URL from the ? on and received the error...

'No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty.'

..as you mentioned. I remember receiving that error prior to installing
the demos, which ensured that I did set the mapserver correctly. So
would my problem be due to the demo set up?
