Hi Po, Yes, TileCache and Mod_tile are both better options for OSM data because they can cache tiles and avoid needing to render tile dynamically (which is expensive with the large OSM styles).
If you try TileCache it can run in both cgi and mod_python mode, which should be a bit easier to set up on windows. Thats cool you got the mapnikserv testing script running on windows (I'd be interested in the steps involved if it took anything special). Regarding the OGCServer errors with fastcgi, it looks like the problem is mismatched python versions. That line "python_init: Python version mismatch, expected '2.5', found '2.5.2'." says it all. Have you tried running the OGCserver script in plain cgi mode? It don't have any experience with apache and mod_fastcgi on windows, so I'm not sure how to help further. Is there anyway you could get a hold of a linux installation to try testing on?
