[ka-Map-users] Newbie: Need help with IIS configuration???

[Todd Fagin]

Thanks to both Christopher Schmidt and Paul Spencer for their valuable
insight.

 

With a great deal of assistance from the web guru around here, we solved the
problem.  I send this along to the list in case someone else encounters a
similar problem in the future:

 

As I said, I had previously installed MS4W. Later, I installed the latest
version of PHP.  As a result of this, Mapscript was compiled to a different
version of PHP then I was running.  Once we discovered the problem, we were
able to correctly configure everything.

 

I am pleased to announce that Ka-Map is finally up and running on my
machine!  Now, the fun begins.

Note that something you can use in this case would be the 'phpinfo()'

call -- view the output, and check it for a 'mapscript' section. (And a

'gd' section, too.)
