Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer Environment Variables and IIS
Some further details after debugging. I modified mmaphttp.c and recompiled MapServer just to confirm the missing environment variables. // pszCurlCABundle = C:\\MapServer\\bin\\curl\\curl-ca-bundle.crt; // works when hardcoded pszCurlCABundle = getenv(Path); msDebug(Test CURL_CA_BUNDLE=%s\n, pszCurlCABundle); test1 = getenv(Path); msDebug(Path=%s\n, test1); Then run using mapserv the env variables are correct. When run in IIS using FastCGI both appear as null in the log file.

Thanks for the reply. It should be possible to set these in IIS in the web.config file as outlined here: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/fastcgi/application/environmentvariables fastCgi application fullPath=C:\Mapserver\bin\mapserv.exe environmentVariables environmentVariable name=CURL_CA_BUNDLE value=C:\Mapserver\bin\curl\curl-ca-bundle.crt / /environmentVariables /application /fastCgi handlers add name=MapServerFastCgi path=* verb=* type= modules=FastCgiModule scriptProcessor=C:\Mapserver\bin\mapserv.exe resourceType=Unspecified requireAccess=Script allowPathInfo=false preCondition= responseBufferLimit=4194304 / /handlers http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/fastcgi/application/environmentvariables However I've tried at all levels (app, web site, server) with no luck.

[mapserver-users] MapServer Environment Variables and IIS
Hi list, There seems to be an issue with running FastCGI under IIS 7.5 and environment variables used by MapServer.
