I ran the following command at the command prompt:
When I pressed Enter it hesitated for about 5 seconds and returned me
back to a command prompt. If MapServer generated an html file, where
would it put it?
I hadn't applied the WRITE access in IIS, but instead applied it in the
NTFS file system. I now have applied the WRITE access in IIS (see
below):
I still get the same error.

Christine,
Did mapserv generate html when you executed it from the command
prompt?
The fact that mapserver didn't crash leads me to believe the problem is
with the IIS configuration of the workshop demo directory, likely write
access to the tmp directory. Did you set write access for the tmp
directory using IIS Manager?

I ran the mapserv QUERY_STRING and it returned to a command
prompt with no errors. I guess I can assume that no .dll's are missing.
Someone else on the list mentioned using forward slashes instead of
backslashes in the html file variables. I will try that. If you have
any input on that I would welcome it.
Thanks, Brent.

Christine,
In your first example it appears that mapserver was reading
the map file but crashed for some reason. In the second example it
couldn't find the map file because it expects a file system path not a
url. So the first example is good, but the second is not (mapserver
just handled the second case a lot better!).
The crash is likely due to a missing dll required by mapserver.
You can run mapserv.exe from the command line to get messages
about missing dlls. Here are the steps:
1. Open a command prompt window on your server
2. cd to the location of mapserv.exe
3. type in
mapserv QUERY_STRING="
4. Copy the query string from the your browser address bar and
paste it into the command window. The query string should look like:
layer=lakespy2&layer=dlgstln2&zoomsize=2&map=%2Finetpub%2Fwwwroot%2Fwork
shop%2Fitasca.map&program=%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmapserv.exe&root=%2Fworkshop&map_
web_imagepath=%2Finetpub%2Fwwwroot%2Ftmp%2F&map_web_imageurl=%2Ftmp%2F&m
ap_web_template=itasca_basic.html
5. Add a double quote to the end of the string and press return.
If a dll is missing, the operating system will show a dialog box
giving the name of the dll.

I've installed MapServer and successfully received the
"No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty."
message. Now I am trying to get the MapServer 4.4.1 Demo to work.
(Windows Server 2003, IIS6, MapServer 4.4.1)
Here are the steps I have taken:
1. Copied the WORKSHOP folder to
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
2. Created a tmp folder inside
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop and gave the IUSR account Read/Write/Execute
permissions
3. Set default page to INDEX.HTML in IIS
4. Changed Execute Permissions in IIS to allow
SCRIPTS and EXECUTABLES.
5. Edited INDEX.HTML file as follows (edits in
bold):
<!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION -->
<form name="demo" method="GET"
action="http:\\esgisrv001\cgi-bin\mapserv.exe" onSubmit="submit_form()">
<input type="hidden" name="layer"
value="lakespy2">
<input type="hidden" name="layer"
value="dlgstln2">
<input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>
<!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->
<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\itasca.map">
<input type="hidden" name="program"
value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">
<input type="hidden" name="root"
value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\tmp\">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl"
value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\tmp\">
I get the MapServer Itasca Application initial screen,
but when I click to initialize the BASIC APPLICATION using these
variables I receive the following error:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not
returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
6. Edited INDEX.HTML file as follows (edits in
bold):

but when I click to initialize the BASIC APPLICATION using these

msLoadMap(): Unable to access file.

Can anyone help?
Thanks.
