CGI error.

Fri Jun 17 03:32:02 PDT 2005

Hello Siddharth,

Have you enabled Mapserver debugging in your .map file? This will give you a
log file with request info and error messages (when you're using IIS make
sure the IUSR_<machinename> has write rights on the log file and enable
write rights for the folder containing the log file in the IIS management
console. When you are using Windows authentication and you are an
administrator testing the site on the local host this is not necessary).

This may give you more specific information about what is going wrong.

Also when you use Internet Explorer make sure you turned of 'Show friendly
HTTP error messages' under menu Tools/Internet Options/Advanced

With more debug info it might be easier to find the cause of your problem.

Regards,

Emil

There is a link in the README-install.txt for demos.
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/workshop.zip
This is the demo that is causing the crash message and the CGI error as
detailed in the previous mails.
Cheers.

Okay, just checking.

Can you be more specific on which  demo you are using?

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.
