Mapserv not accepting POST method

Sun Nov 18 23:10:52 EST 2007

William and Richard,

I reinstalled MapServer and the associated framework from William
Kyngesburye's distribution. Works fine. I had to delete receipts, but after
that the install went well. The other packages from GRASS I will reinstall
from the disk later.

Thanks for your help. I will continue to monitor posts where I can be
helpful as I get more involved with the application.
