Dont care, I tring to run the mapserver to the default location first, then I will configure it to a safe location.

Mauricio,
 
Good question - there isn't alot of documentation specific to windows... here's some things to check.
 
Make sure that the Execute permissions (in IIS) are set to "Scripts and Executables" for your cgi-bin directory.
 
I'd recommend using the "Kobu's Kitchen Sink" deployment of Mapserver - I tried several others but wasn't able to get any others to function.
 
And... depending on where your web is - it could be D:/webs/mywebfolder/cgi-bin for your mapserver files.  The /Inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin reference assumes (I think) that there's only 1 web on your system - and that you were stupid enough to put it in the default location.  I would NEVER recommend placing a web in the default location - it provides too much opportunity to hackers - Microsoft has way too many holes to install any web stuff in the default location.
 
Go create your web somewhere else, create your directories, point IIS to that folder for your site.  Make sure the IIS settings are correct for the cgi-bin folder.
 
Please advise,

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] mapserver - windows 2003

hi,
    I have developed a couple of maps wtih apache and postgis, but now I
need to migrate it to windows 2003, using de windows web server. So, for
php and postgis there was no problem, but mapserver doesn't work. I do
what the README-Install.txt says, (using C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin for
mapserv.exe), but when enter the link
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe", but I recieve a "HTTP 500
internal server error" The page cannot be displayed, blablabla.

Does somebody knows, how to successfully install mapserver under windows
using IIS, or where is my problem??

thanks,
    Mauricio Stange H.
