Installation

MapServer

To run the examples you need to have MapServer 4 running. On a Window's machine, installation of MapServer is very easy: Finally, create a directory for temporary files, and add a virtual directory to your webserver pointing to this directory. In my case, the directory is c:\mstmp, which can be reached by the server as http://localhost/mstmp

To test: try running MapServer directly from your browser. On my test Windows machine the URL is:
http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe
You should see an error message (QUERY_STRING not set).
