Thanks for the reply Jacob. I'm using tomcat for my webapps 'cause we do a lot of servlet/jsp stuff in this environment. I've used mapserv in WIN/IIS a LONG time now - as I'd initially had problems getting it working in tomcat. Unfortunately to run IIS and tomcat, one needs to run port 80 and the other another port like 8080 (yea you can proxy).......... so I'd like to run everything in one environment. One good offshoot of this exercise is getting mapserv to run in tomcat -- our production server is UNIX (no IIS). I'm trying to get a test server up to run Ka-Map. My first e-mail detailed my progress. I've got the sample app (KA-EXPLORER!) running in a new context. I'm just not getting any services or maps. I've configured the config.php to use a tested mapserv map file. I've observed that the sample app calls "init.php" --
"http://my_server/ka-map/init.php"; So yes - Ka-Map is php-based BUT it appears that php has to run in a web app container. I'd be interested in finding out how to test/debug this problem. Are you using Ka-Map now?

I had to do it myself a while ago, and it seems the general agreement out there is that for best performance, you should run PHP using Apache webserver (on port 80), and then use a proxy/reverse proxy for running Tomcat on a different port, proxied through the normal Apache webserver. You can then run Tomcat on a different port, while running Apache on the normal port. This works for me, but I'm no expert on this. Is there any reason why you are using Tomcat? You mentioned it's for Ka-Map, but Ka-Map is php-based.
