We (US Army Corps as well as the other federal agencies I work with, US Army
and NGA) use MapServer 7.x on both RHEL 7 and Oracle Enterprise Linux 7 (binary
compatible with Centos 7) and have no issues. It’s a very stable platform for
us. We run in STIG-ified Apache 2 web server without issue. You can certainly
send this to any ISP.
Note that we compile and deploy on separate on separate boxes so we only have
the devel packages and compilers on one and then the generated binaries and
depending libs on a separate box.

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer on Centos 7
Hi there
We have a managed server with MapServer and Centos. We asked our ISP
about moving to a new server and they said MapServer "would not work
well with CentOS7, certainly not without a great deal of
customisation and it's something we would not recommend. " (I am not
convinced they know much about MapServer though...)
Does MapServer work well on Centos 7?
Is there a web page that says MapServer works well on Centos 7 - so I
can send it to the ISP ?
Back in 2011 the same ISP installed MapServer 5.6.6 onto Centos 5
quite easily, compiling it from source. I don't know exactly why they
are reluctant to install MapServer on Centos 7 - they have not given
details. We would be happy to use the most up-to-date MapServer, 7.
I've looked at mapserver.org but can't find anything clear about
Centos 7 support. I think the most relevant pages are the download
page http://mapserver.org/uk/download.html and the compiling on Unix
page http://mapserver.org/installation/unix.html
(I'm reluctant to shift to another ISP because up to now, these guys
have been excellent. I'd like to convince them that MapServer is fine
on Centos 7.)
Thanks
Mark
