them were correct and helpful! The "mapserv.exe" is indeed an XML file (I never
would have guessed) and it does point me to missing fields in my map file. I'm
fixing those now!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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
