Installation
MapServer
To run the examples you need to have MapServer 4 running.
On a Window's machine, installation of MapServer is very easy:
-
Download
the MapServer 4 binaries
and unzip them.
-
Put "mapserv.exe" in the Scripts directory of your webserver (usually
c:\InetPub\Scripts)
- Move the "Proj" directory to C:\. You should end up with c:\Proj\Nad.
- Copy the files in the "lib" directory to C:\winnt
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).
