| 207 | | One common problem is getting Apache's environment variables right. In order to run MapServer, it needs to have the correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Set this by adding a line like the following to the beginning of Apache's httpd.conf file. setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/oracle/9.2/lib:/opt2/sde/sdeexe83/lib If you can run MapServer at the command line without any problems, but get 'Internal Server Error' when accessing it via the web, most likely your environment does not match Apache's. If Apache cannot run MapServer due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH problems, it will complain about a missing library. The resulting error in Apache's error log will probably look something like this: ld.so.1: mapserv: fatal: libclntsh.so.8.0: open failed: No such file or directory In this case, it was looking for an oracle library that it could not find. For such problems, make sure Apache also has ORACLE_HOME set in httpd.conf as well, like so: setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle/9.2 A common problem with installing MapScript/perl is that it will not compile with some older versions of Perl. In testing, the MapScript Perl module compiled successfully using Perl v5.8.3. |
