Can't execute mapserv.exe from Apache 2 cgi-bin folder

[Francesco Sozzi]

ah... ok, it works! 
Now I tried with FireFox with ".exe" and it works. There is something wrong in my IE; if I put ".exe" with my IE, it tries to download a file instead of executing...

Thank for help!

Best regards

Francesco

  you need to include the extension of the mapserver cgi file... you need to put the ".exe" at the end of your url and it will work (I already try it ;) ):

  http://213.133.227.245/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe

    Unfortunatelly I already have the following line:

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Programmi/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/"

    And if I try to run http://213.133.227.245/cgi-bin/mapserv I have a 404 error (file not found).

    So, I think there is something else wrong...

    I attacched my configuration file.

    Best regards

      Hi Francesco

      You also need to have a Script Alias in your httpd.conf file like this:

      ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/"

      and then (after restarting apache) you can try to access mapserver like: 

      http://yourservername:port/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe

      Rodrigo.

        Hi All,

        I'm trying to let Mapserver provide as WMS server, but I have an Apache configuration problem.

        I've put mapserv.exe into C:/Programmi/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin.

        But I can't execute from browser (it is as it does not see/execute the file).

        I have no problem in Apache 1.x but I have problem with a standard installation of Apache 2 on Windows XP.

        In my httpd.conf I have this cgi-bin folder definition:


        <Directory "C:/Programmi/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin">
            AllowOverride None
            Options None
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>

        How can I set execution permission?...

        Best regards

        Francesco
