[mapserver-users] Premature end of script headers: mapserv

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

You talk about adding a shapefile but the layer definitions below are for PostGIS layer. Have you copy-pasted another layer or what? The main problem could be that the layer in your mail is missing entries for WMS metadata. Try reading and following the document at http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html.

facing a new problem since last evening. I added 9 shapefiles successfully
and could view the map in the browser. While adding the 10th shapefile I got
an error. All the new shapefiles are simple point shapefiles.

Example: LAYER

            NAME 'sc'

            CONNECTIONTYPE postgis

            CONNECTION " "

            DATA "the_geom from sc"

            TEMPLATE "dummy.html"

            DEBUG ON

            TYPE POINT

            MAXSCALE 10000

            MINSCALE 2000

            STATUS DEFAULT

            LABELITEM "name"

            LABELCACHE ON



            CLASS

                  MAXSCALE 10000

                  MINSCALE 2000



            STYLE

                  ANTIALIAS TRUE

                  SYMBOL "square"

                  SIZE 9

                  COLOR 153 0 102

                  OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255

            END #end style



            LABEL

                  ANGLE auto

                  COLOR 153 0 102

                  ANTIALIAS TRUE

                  FONT vera_sans-bold

                  TYPE TRUETYPE

                  SIZE 9

                  POSITION auto

                  PARTIALS false

                  BUFFER 1

            END #end label

            END#end class

END #end layer



This is the error from the error log:



Premature end of script headers: mapserv



And this is what I got using WMS get map request on the browser:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them
of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may
have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.



I checked the shapefile and map file for errors and couldn't find any. And
mapserver has been installed correctly and has been working well. The
problem only arises when I add the extra layer. It works well with all the
existing ones.

The map file works on my PHP map display page but when I try it using WMS it
does not work.



I use MapServer 5.0.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
