The web URL for "CGI-Executables" is the standard "/cgi-bin" on OSX.

Also, I believe that those other form values need to be web URLs, not file system paths.

Hi all.

Working with the MapServer, apache 1.3.33 on Mac OS Tiger.

Invoking mapserv from:

<body>
<form method=POST action="CGI-Executables/mapserv" >
<input type="submit" value="Maps">
<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/Library/WebServer/Maps/helloworld.map">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
value="/Library/WebServer/Images">
</form>

</body>

This error is displayed:

The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL
/CGI-Executables/mapserv

The mapserv executable is in the CGI-Executables directory, has correct permissions, the other elements exist in the specified place, apache is
working, the directories have the right permissions. Postdata is being
flushed, browser cache is flushed. I hope this isn't something obvious, I
don't need the beating.

Thanks,

Jeff
