Hi,

I am a newbie in mapserver and have a problem in using web template


<html>
 <head> <title> GIS Application </title> </head>
 <body>
  <form method =POST action = "/cgi-bin/mapserv">
	<input type = "submit" value ="Click to Intialize">
	
	<input type = "hidden" name ="map" value 
= "/ms4w/apps/MyApplic/htdocs/WSLT.map">
  	<input type = "hidden" name ="mapext" value = "644939.974768 
5571028.735107 777118.073090 5711137.519287">
	<input type = "hidden" name ="zoomsize" size =2 value =2>
<input type="hidden" name="program" value="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="/tmp/">

       </form>
 </body>
</html>


When I run the web page and tried "Click to Intialize", it showed me

"No page can not be displayed"

and in address bar I got this line

C:\cgi-bin\mapserv

When I tried mapserv.exe instead mapserv in action = "/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe", 
it asked me to save or run the mapserv.exe. I have checked ms4w folders. I 
have read and write permissons. Environemnt variables are ok. When I tried to 
check mapserv at command prompt, it gave me 

The script can only be used to decode from results and should be initiated as 
a CGI process via a httpd server.

I tried mapserv -v as well and it showed me mapserv version 4.10.0 
OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=GIF ....................................

in map file I have also described web template

#####################################################

# web Object

	TEMPLATE	"/ms4w/apps/MyApplic/templates/"
	IMAGEPATH	"/ms4w/apps/MyApplic/images/"
	IMAGEURL	"/tmp/"
	LOG		"/tmp/mapserver.log"
END

I am wondering if anybody can help me with this problem.

Thanks
