[ms4w-users] RE: Anybody used mod_fcgid with MS4W

[José Ramón López]

Hi list

Im trying to configure MS4W with fastcgi module.
I read the following instructions but allways sends to me an error 500. In
error logs appears the followin lines:

[Thu May 24 15:18:47 2007] [info] mod_fcgid: server
D:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/fcgid/mapserv.exe(1204) started
[Thu May 24 15:18:47 2007] [warn] (OS 109)Ha terminado la canalización.  :
mod_fcgid: get overlap result error
[Thu May 24 15:18:47 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: mapserv.exe

and these are my configuration lines on httpd.conf

DefaultInitEnv PROJ_LIB "d:/ms4w/proj/nad/"
DefaultInitEnv PATH
"d:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/fcgid;d:/WINDOWS/system32;d:/WINDOWS;d:/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem;"
DefaultInitEnv windir "d:/WINDOWS"
DefaultInitEnv SystemRoot "d:/Windows"
DefaultInitEnv SystemDrive "d:"
DefaultInitEnv GDAL_DATA "d:/ms4w/gdaldata"
DefaultInitEnv GDAL_DRIVER_PATH "d:/ms4w/gdalplugins"
DefaultInitEnv TMP "d:/ms4w/tmp"
<Location /fcgid>
    SetHandler fcgid-script
    Options execCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Location>

Apache works fine and mapserver with cgi, but im having problems with
fasctgi.

Thxs Again
