[mapserver-users] 500 Internal Server Error

[Steve Lime]

Who installed MapServer then? Depending how it was compiled the cgi
executable
may be looking for loadable libraries (.so or .dll). That's one of the
only ways you'll
get a 500 error without trying to do something. On linux you often need
to set
an environment variable within apache's config, something like:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/shared/libs;/path/to/more/shared/libs

That is my problem...i try to use a free web host to make a simple
demo of my work.
The server is linux, use apache and permit CGI.

Because i try to build a hello map whithout render any image, i dońt
expect problem whith the libraries so soon. And i have no ideia if i
will can put it working.
