Hi Kirby, That error is usually a DLL problem.
at the command line, run mapserver ... C:\..\..\mapserv.exe If there are any missing dll's, it will tell you. If it does not, then restart your computer. WinXP Pro SP2 seems to be a little more fussy than older versions. Restarting after a fresh install has fixed that problem for me a couple times. If that doesnt help, then use the version of MapServer from maptools.org/dl Cheers, Ken Lord Vancouver BC On 10/16/05, Kirby James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've tried to install Mapserver on Windows XP SP2 using the IIS server. > > When I interrogate Mapserver using http://my_machine/Scripts/mapserv.exe > I get a web page containing the message "No query information to decode. > QUERY_STRING not set."
