Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Using Mapserver on VPS with cPanel?

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

PHP/Mapscript can actually run as an Apache DSO (the Wiki page is quite outdated), there might be some problems though depending on your use case.   Best regards, Bart -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Namens Volkan Ulukut Verzonden: dinsdag 13 juni 2006 8:27 Aan: MAPSERVER-USERS@LISTS.UMN.EDU Onderwerp: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Using Mapserver on VPS with cPanel? We have a dedicated server using rhe 4 and cPanel 10.8.2. I've installed MapServer last week and it had no problems with cPanel at all. The problem you might encounter is that MapScript needs php execute as cgi. So you need a seperate php install if you have php installed as an Apache DSO.

The network ops folks have dissuaded me from installing Mapserver, saying in part:   "The requirements for this application would most likely cause instability on a VPS. Additionally, there are no pre-made binaries for RedHat 9.0. You would probably need a Mapserver expert to install this software for you on your VPS, and it would most likely break functionality with other things (like cPanel). It is not something that looks like it would play nicely with the software that cPanel installs. It looks like it would require a self contained PHP daemon."   Are they being too cautious, or should I give up on installing this? My goal is to be able to dynamically render the NOAA ENC charts. Is there a simpler alternative for doing so?   Anyone out there with cPanel experience who would be interested in a project to install this?   Thanks,   Michael Slater www.BoatingSF.com   Disclaimer ************************************************************************ Aan dit bericht kunnen geen rechten worden ontleend.
