Re: [mapserver-users] alternatives to ms4w?
guys, are there any recommendations between ms4w and osgeo4w. i guess it depends on use case but for typical uses? https://encrypted.google.com/?q=ms4w+vs+osgeo4w as for my case, i'd like to use the latest release of apache, postgis and php with mapserver, and so just looking to drop-in ms on windows. it seems osgeo4w is heavier than ms4w. why not combine these efforts. thanks, jzs On Sun, Jun 30, 2013 at 12:31 PM, Siki Zoltan s...@agt.bme.hu wrote: Dear John, check osgeo4w at http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ Regards, Zoltan On Sat, 29 Jun 2013, John Smith wrote: guys, are there any good alternatives to ms4w at http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/?**page=downloads.htmlhttp://www.maptools.org/ms4w/?page=downloads.html. its last stable base package is over a year old from may 26, 2012, and there is no timeline given about its next release. thanks, jzs ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] alternatives to ms4w?
I am curious about this myself. In my research, it seems that both packages are using MapServer versions that are fairly out of date. MS4W hasn't been updated in over a year and is at MapServer 6.0.3 OSGeo4W reports it is using an even older version 5.0.x. Meanwhile MapServer itself is at 6.2.1 and counting. One big difference in the two packages is that OSGeo4W is a bunch of OS GIS tools including things like GRASS and QGIS, while MS4W is just MapServer. We use MS4W extensively and find it very easy to install and configure compared to OSGeo4W. MS4W really is the 'drop-in' approach and we can typically set up a server in about 30 seconds. === Michael Smith MS GISP State GIS Manager, Maine Office of GIS State of Maine, Office of Information Technology michael.smith _at_ maine.gov 207-215-5530 Board Member, Maine GeoLibrary Education Chair, Maine GIS Users Group State Rep, National States Geographic Information Council [cid:image001.jpg@01CE7E1B.1479DAB0] State House Station 145 51 Commerce Drive Augusta, ME 04333-0145 69o 47' 58.9W 44o 21' 54.8N From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of John Smith Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2013 9:29 AM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] alternatives to ms4w? guys, are there any recommendations between ms4w and osgeo4w. i guess it depends on use case but for typical uses? https://encrypted.google.com/?q=ms4w+vs+osgeo4w as for my case, i'd like to use the latest release of apache, postgis and php with mapserver, and so just looking to drop-in ms on windows. it seems osgeo4w is heavier than ms4w. why not combine these efforts. thanks, jzs On Sun, Jun 30, 2013 at 12:31 PM, Siki Zoltan s...@agt.bme.humailto:s...@agt.bme.hu wrote: Dear John, check osgeo4w at http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ Regards, Zoltan On Sat, 29 Jun 2013, John Smith wrote: guys, are there any good alternatives to ms4w at http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/?page=downloads.html. its last stable base package is over a year old from may 26, 2012, and there is no timeline given about its next release. thanks, jzs inline: image001.jpg___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Hi Michael, I am very glad that MS4W is so useful for your organization. Note that there is a beta released in April, that you should be testing and reporting back on: see archives at http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/ms4w-users/2013-April/002230.html Thanks for your support. -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 2013-07-11 10:45 AM, Smith, Michael wrote: I am curious about this myself.

Hi, apache, postgis and php with mapserver, You are looking for a sort of GeoWAMP package ... :) That would be good for MapIgniter too.

Re: [mapserver-users] alternatives to ms4w?
thanks michael and marco. ms4w does include apache and php though. in the past, i removed its apache and php, and installed their latest releases separately. just looking to avoid doing that again. at a minimum, get a x64 windows binary of ms4w. for now, http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/ looks like a good bet. jzs On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 10:04 AM, Marco Afonso mafonso...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, apache, postgis and php with mapserver, You are looking for a sort of GeoWAMP package ... :) That would be good for MapIgniter too.

Re: [mapserver-users] alternatives to ms4w?
Hi, The web page is not up to date. There is also 3.1.0 beta available. http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_3.1.0-beta1.zip http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/ms4w-users/2013-April/002230.html It is a beta version but the Mapserver included in the package has been stable for me. You can get daily builds of Mapserver from http://gisinternals.com/sdk/ but then you are more on your own with installation. You can also try OSGeo4W installer http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ -Jukka Rahkonen- John Smith wrote: guys, are there any good alternatives to ms4w at http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/?page=downloads.html. its last stable base package is over a year old from may 26, 2012, and there is no timeline given about its next release. thanks, jzs ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
