MapServer doesn't need a 'startup', because it doesn't run. Apache starts by default on the machine -- or at least, it seems to on the most recent image I had, which is admittedly a while back -- and other examples seem to not document starting apache as a necessary step. Since MapServer is a CGI, using it would be ideal, in that sense, but it means that I'd have to do something to make MapServer serve a map. Since the feature freeze was more than a month ago, I guess I've missed the boat on that number. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
