Hi,
aside from being installed in a different directory, the
installations are largely identical. MGE itself is identical, except
that it uses a commerical projection library and comes with a couple
of extra FDO providers that are not distributed as open source (there
are open source alternatives, however).
You can install MGOS server and web extensions on the same machine.
We have successfully run them on fairly modest windows XP machines.
MG has a 'bundled' installation option that installs the Apache web
server, this is convenient if you don't want to mess with IIS (but of
course you can't use the .Net extensions for development then).
Cheers
Paul

Can someone please clarify the following for me? (I am new to
Mapguide open
source)
1. If you have MGE 2008 installed on a server, how is it different
from
having MGOS installed? Is there a difference between the
installation files
you receive from Autodesk and the installation files you download
from the
MGOS website? Could you have MGE and Open Source running on the
same server,
or are they the same thing?
2. From the requirements page
(http://mapguide.osgeo.org/system_requirements.html), it looks like
in order
to have MGOS up and running you need to have MapGuide Server and
MapGuide
Web Server Extensions installed on a server (ie: Microsoft IIS 6.0 on
Windows Server 2003) and have Studio installed on a PC (or your
server). Can
you have MGOS up and running without a server (for example: all
components
installed on your home Window XP PC?)
I understand that these questions will seem fairly obivious to most
readers.
However, when you are first starting out, everything is not so clear!
Thanks for your time
