Re: [mapserver-users] Upgrading Apache and PHP that came with MS4W
Hello, I think there are a lot of people in the same postion where we would like to upgrade Mapserver on Windows. I think there are a couple mapserver options out there yet. 1) Move to Linux. With the end of support for Windows XP coming up soon, I am sure that there will be plenty of extra computers around that you can try installing linux and mapserver on the machine. I know historically mapserver on Linux outperformed mapserver on Windows. 2) Encourage continued development of MS4W. A long time ago, I asked Jeff Mckenna about the Status of MS4W and how much it would cost to get an upgrade. The price he gave to me was more than what I think my organization could afford. However, I am sure if pool some development funds together from many organizations, then it may be easier for MS4W to keep up to date. Thanks Mark Volz, GISP Hi James, Nobody answered for you so supposedly that means that the answer is: No, there are no documents and probably no compiled Mapcache binaries available for Windows. I managed to install Apache and Mapserver 6.4.1 from with the OSGeo4W installer. Also daily development buids of Mapserver are available but not Mapcache. The installed Apache seems to be version 2.2.14-4 and PHP is a bit old version 5.2.5 from Nov 8, 2007 so that is not the way for you to upgrade. However, I have noticed that your conclusion was to switch to Geoserver. Follow the situation, perhaps you can switch back one day but once you have configured Geoserver and built all the SLD styles it may feel a bit heavy. -Jukka Rahkonen- EVANS, JAMES wrote: Hi, I'm running the dev version of MS4W with Mapcache.

Re: [mapserver-users] Upgrading Apache and PHP that came with MS4W
Hello Mark, James, Jukka, all, I have worked very hard over the past 10 years (wow) maintaining MS4W on Windows, making it a hugely popular product. The reality is, as Mark just stated, many organizations rely on the full MS4W suite for their Windows servers, yet I haven't focused on supporting those organizations' needs. Well, the time is now for that. I have purchased www.ms4w.com and will be moving MS4W there, and will be offering a subscription-based service for the MS4W suite: Enterprise Edition (Apache, MapScripts, MapCache, data packages, 64-bit, IIS support, plugins, etc.), and a free Community edition (nightly builds of mapserv.exe binaries). This will keep MS4W thriving, up-to-date, and innovative. Of course custom builds are always possible, and you will be able to contact me directly as usual. So rest assured, my company Gateway Geomatics is fully behind our product. If I am quiet, those who know me know it usually means that I am working very hard. Thanks again for using MS4W for sharing your organization's spatial information. More on this soon! :) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 2/28/2014, 9:18 AM, Mark Volz wrote: Hello, I think there are a lot of people in the same postion where we would like to upgrade Mapserver on Windows.

Great news, Jeff. I do hope that the community edition will not be too lacking too many features. It was the fact that your MS4W was so comprehensive that brought me to MapServer.

James -- Hi ms4w-User, glad to hear we are not alone with that problem, we also use ms4w and have no possibilities to compile mapserver-windows-binaries for actual versions of apache and php. The last (dev!) version on the ms4w-Download-site ist mapserver 6.0.3 and almost 2 years old, the included apache and php-versions as well. The versions for osgeo4w are even older. We want to upgrade the apache-php-mapscript-parts of our webserver *independent* and need therefore php-mapscript-modules for different (and more actual...) apache and php-versions, 32 and 64 bit. It seems, ms4w development and support is down, who can help? How can he be monetarily supported?

Hi list, I'm trying to generate a 3D shapefile with OGR SHAPEZIP format. I'm using MapServer 6.5 compiled with USE_POINT_Z_M options. mapserv -v gives : MapServer version 6.5-dev OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=CAIRO SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS SUPPORTS=POINT_Z_M INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE My data are stored in Postgis 2.1. They are 3D. I've added the ows_geomtype MultiPolygon25D metadata to my layer. What I get is a 3D shapefile, but all the Z values are set to 0. Lookking at the request made by MapServer to Postgis, I see the geom is requested with Force2D function : encode(ST_AsBinary(ST_Force2D(the_geom),'NDR'),'hex') as geom Is this a bug or is there some more settings I didn't set properly ?

Re: [mapserver-users] Upgrading Apache and PHP that came with MS4W
Hi Jeff, That sounds very exciting moving forward. We will probably eventually be interested in the enterprise edition, especially if it is year subscription. Any ideas on pricing yet? Is it going to be per server? Anyway, my biggest problem right now is I'm going to have to remove MS4W in the next few days due to the security scans pointing out vulnerabilities in Apache and PHP. Do you have any plans on releasing a Dev version any time soon with these components being updated? We tried updating Apache but it seemed to have trouble with the mod_cache.dll. Do you know if it is possible for us to upgrade this?
