-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of trailway Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 9:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mapserver-users] Windows Installation Disclaimer - I am total newbie here. I want to get Map Server running on my Windows 7 x64 system. I am aware that MS4W exists but my impression is that this project is not actively updated, i.e. it is running an old version of map server so I did not want to use it. Here is good post which describes the status: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Upgrading-Apache-and-PHP-that-came-with- MS4W-td5105669.html I started by downloading the documentation from here: http://mapserver.org/documentation.html Next I downloaded the 64 bit installer from here: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ I then ran the installer and chose the "Express Web-GIS Install" option. On the "Select Packages" screen, I noticed that MapServer and GDAL were enabled. Other options such as Apache were disabled, i.e. I could not choose them. The installation completed without errors. I am able to run map server as follows: C:\OSGeo4W64\bin>mapserv -v The instructions tell me to "Run the apache-install.bat script to install the Apache Server". The thing is that I cannot find this script on my system. I ran the above installer again and chose the "Advanced Install" option. Unlike the screen shots in the documentation, I do not see Apache listed under Web (or anywhere else). FWIW, I do have IIS installed on my machine. I wanted to use whatever web server is easiest and works best for map server. My guess is that that is Apache. The instructions for "IIS Setup for MapServer" are very dated (from 2005). What am I doing wrong? Based on the things that I learn, how can I contribute to improving the documentation? -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Windows-Installation-tp5140281.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
