Hi,

I've tried to install Mapserver on Windows XP SP2 using the IIS server.

When I interrogate Mapserver using http://my_machine/Scripts/mapserv.exe 
I get a web page containing the message "No query information to decode. 
QUERY_STRING not set." Which I guess implies that much of the 
configuration is OK.

I've tried to install the Itasca example - I can correctly see the index 
page "http://my_machine/mapserver/workshop/index.html" but when I 
"Initialize" the "Basic Application" option (which delivers a URL of 
http://my_machine/Scripts/mapserv.exe?layer=lakespy2&layer=dlgstln2&zoomsize=2&map=%2FInetpub%2Fwwwroot%2Fmapserver%2Fworkshop%2Fitasca.map&program=%2FInetpub%2FScripts%2Fmapserv.exe&root=%2FInetpub%2Fwwwroot%2Fmapserver%2Fworkshop&map_web_imagepath=%2FInetpub%2Fwwwroot%2Fmapserver%2Fworkshop%2Ftmp&map_web_imageurl=mapserver%2Fworkshop%2Ftmp&map_web_template=itasca_basic.html 

I get the response "CGI Error - The specified CGI application misbehaved 
by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did 
return are:" - with no text following.

I've tried various combinations of paths in the MAP file (latest version 
shown below) - but keep getting the same result.

I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I can identify the cause of the 
problem,

Regards

Kirby
