Hi list,
There seems to be an issue with running FastCGI under IIS 7.5 and
environment variables used by MapServer. I need to point to a
curl-ca-bundle.crt file to access a remote WFS server, and it appears
this can only be set using an environment variable named CURL_CA_BUNDLE.
In brief, if I run the following from the command line:
mapserv -nh
"QUERY_STRING=map=C:\Mapserver\apps\test\test.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities"
My error log contains
[Mon Feb 09 14:47:29 2015].66000 HTTP: Starting to prepare HTTP requests.
[Mon Feb 09 14:47:29 2015].66000 Using CURL_CA_BUNDLE=curl-ca-bundle.crt
If I run
http://localhost/mapserver/?map=C:\Mapserver\apps\test\test.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
in the browser the "Using CURL_CA_BUNDLE" line does not appear and my
certs are not found.
It appears this is not limited to this variable - setting MS_ERRORLOG as
a system variable is also ignored.
I have checked that the variables are available using a Python script
running in IIS. I've also tried setting up custom environment variables
for the FastCGI app, played with all sorts of permissions, but no luck.
Tamas's blog mentions:
"The main issue here is that most of the libararies use *getenv *to
retrieve the environment setting, which operates only on the data
structures accessible to the run-time library (msvcrt) and not on the
environment "segment" created for the process by the operating system."

However I'm not sure what the workaround here is exactly.
This issue appears to have come up before on the list -

Any help appreciated.

Seth
