Ok, now i understand better what you mean. It's not a bad idea, even if people that install mapserv should know it utility and it use. If Francesco agree, i'll try to just add a working demo in the mapserver-doc package when i'll update the debian package (probably when MapServer 5.2.1 will be released).

Thanks for the sugestion Oz.

Hi,
sorry for the late response.

>you can simply make a symbolic link in your web cgi-bin folder to the mapserv

there is no need to. /www/cgi-bin is linked to the right place. So the cgi-scripts are working. But the example project is broken,

What I meant is that I would like to have a package that includes the sample porject. Maybe under the mapserver-doc.
It is just a sugestion.

Check out my server with the package and see how it runs. I would say only partially. I don't know the reason.
My adress is http://134.2.155.77/

When people install a package like wordpress on debian they already have a wordpress running. The same would be nice for mapserver. To have a sample project running with just one apt-get distance.

I think it would be a nice idea.

Oz.

    What do you mean by "couldn't manage to run it like that on a
    debian system" ? What's the problem? As soon as the package
    mapserver-bin is installed, you can simply make a symbolic link in
    your web cgi-bin folder to the mapserv application and the demo
    should run.

        map server website has a tutorial that is supposed to run out
        of the
        box.
        However I couldn't manage to run it like that on a debian system.
        It would be nice if this application could run out of the box when
        installed a debian package.
        the adress for the tutorial is
