[MS4W-Users] Newbie problem

[James Screech]

I've managed to get it working now by moving everything onto my main
development machine (Win7). Not sure why it was not working on XP.

 

Is there any way (using a HTTP request) to set the extent of a map?

I've just installed ms4w for the first time as I'm looking to create an
offline OSM map server.

 

I've followed the instructions in Super_easy_WMS_server.pdf and have the
server running,  tests 1, 2, & 3 work however when I run test 4 or rendering
from the pre-installed shapefiles, I get a file download dialog (and unknown
file type dialog) from my browser (IE8) instead of the map being rendered.

 

I assume I'm just doing something silly, but I know nothing about map
rendering.

 

Kind Regards
