<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>A
beginner question here... I'm new to MS and to Apache. I've got MS4W up and
running with the <st1:place w:st="on">Itasca</st1:place> 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
href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=../htdocs/itasca/demo..map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities">http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=../htdocs/itasca/demo.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities</a><br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Matt</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
