[maplab-users] mapscript_maplab installation trouble ...

[Paul Spencer]

Irvan, you should not have any trouble with this configuration, it is 
pretty typical.  You must install PHP as a CGI, as reported by the error 
message.  The reason it worked up to the preview part is that up until 
that point, mapscript was probably not loaded because it is only needed 
for the preview in mapedit.

The error message that you are getting is pretty vague.  It may mean 
several different things.

Things that you can check:

httpd.conf typical setup:
     <IfModule mod_dir.c>
         DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.phtml
     </IfModule>

     ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php432/"
     <Directory "c:/Apache/cgi-bin">
         AllowOverride None
         Options None
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>

     AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4 .php3 .phtml .php
     Action  application/x-httpd-php4 /php/php.exe

php.ini settings:

session.save_path needs to be valid, typically c:/temp/ or c:/windows/temp

and then create a script called phpinfo.php in c:/Apache/htdocs/ with 
the following contents:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and restart apache, the access http://localhost/phpinfo.php

If it works, you should see the php info page.  Next try creating 
phpinfo_mapscript.php:

<?php
dl("php_mapscript_36.dll");
phpinfo();
?>

And access http://localhost/phpinfo_mapscript.php

If it works, you should see the same php info page with the mapscript 
info block.

Then you can try maplab again.

Cheers,

Paul
