David, 

I'm getting FF browser error right now about the  MapServer CGI
generated image being bad . . . . 

The image "<Mapserver CGI link here>" cannot be displayed, because it
contains errors. 

All the google results talk about a SKYPE extention that causes this,
but I don't have SKYPE installed on the machine at all. 

Still pondering . . . 

It looks like MapServer is sending the right headers and such for the
Image types, I've tried both GIF and PNG, and the headers are reporting
correctly. 

 . . .

Bob, 


A couple of years ago, I had FWTools, including MapServer running on a
USB stick.   


You might want to take a look at Jo Cook’s Portable GIS:

All, 


  

So I'm trying to run MapServer from a thumb Drive, first off, is this
possible? 


  

I'm on Windows XP, and get what looks like a Browser error: 


  

The image "<Mapserver URL here>" cannot be displayed, because it
contains errors.   


  

I'm using the MS4W Mapserv Binary ( should I try another, if so which?),
are there things I should look for related to MS4W? 


  

How do I go about trying to debug the problem? 


  

Thanks 


  

bobb
