CGI error.

[Siddharth Parekh]

On running from the command line, it doesnt show me any crash message.
It displays
-----
This script can only be used to decode form results and
should be initiated as a CGI process via a httpd server.
-----

And on running mapserv -v it displays
-----
MapServer version 4.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=PDF
 OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLI
ENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7
INPU
T=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG
-----

This isn't an error.

On running through the browser, it displays, "No query information to
decode. QUERY_STRING not set.".

Initially, it asked me that msvcr70.dll is missing.
I downloaded it and still it doesn't work.

Any further ideas?
Thanks in advance.

This is probably due to a missing dependency.

Does mapserv.exe run from the command-line? Can you run mapserv.exe in the
browser and does it come back with No query information etc.?

Otherwise check with a dependency tool like depends.

Hey everyone,
I downloaded Mapserver 4.4.1 (ms441pg.zip) from
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ and installed it as described in the
Install.txt.
On running a mapserver demo, it pops up with a crash message and then
browser displays error:
------
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
-------
I even reinstalled everything from scratch, but no help.
I am installing it on Win XP SP2.
Any ideas?
Has this issue been resolved by someone?
Can someone throw some light on it?
Thanks in advance.
