[TinyOWS-users] Problems with ms4w version

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi,

  Using ma4w and apache, there should be an http_tinyows.conf file 
installed in c:\ms4w\httpd.d . Do you have that file?  It has 2 entries 
in it defining the TINYOWS_CONFIG_FILE and TINYOWS_SCHEMA_DIR. They 
should be available to Apache if you have restarted Apache after 
installing tinyows.  if you still have a problem, take these 2 lines and 
stick them at the end of httpd.conf (c:/ms4w/Apache/conf/) and restart 
apache.

  As for new versions of tinypws, I usually put out ms4w compatible 
versions when there is a tinyows release. I have put temporarily a 
tinyows version ([1]) that I use locally. It uses the tinyows code out 
of svn. It works for me with ms4w beta11. You can give it a try.

best regards,

When I try and test tinyows at the command line, it closes with a generic windows error. The apache logs show the following, which I have seen discussed in a different mail to the list:

If I set the TINYOWS_CONFIG_FILE and TINYOWS_SCHEMA_DIR environment variables in windows then tinyows --check works- up to a point!

When I try to run http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/tinyows.exe?service=wfs&request=getcapabilities&version=1.1.0 then I get the same generic windows error as above, and the same error in the apache error log.
