Enabling WMS service on MapServer<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT size=2>A beginner question here... I'm new to MS and to Apache. I've
got MS4W up and running with the Itasca demo. Now I want to enable it as a WMS
server. mapserv -v at the command line tells me it supports WMS_SERVER. When I
point my browser to it, my browser just wants to download
mapserv.exe!<BR><BR>What am I missing?<BR><BR>Here is the URL I'm using to issue
a GetCapabilities WMS request:<BR><A
