Puneet,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’ll second Brent and Jeff on the MS4W/GeoMOOSE approach.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">With those two packages installed you end up with a fully functional demo which can be used as a reference to set up their local data.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And once you have it working in Windows, you will be in a much better position to examine moving things to a LINUX distro down the road if that’s still the desire. Either way, you/they will find it easier to climb the learning curve with this
approach, regardless of the long term solution you/they want to end up at.</div>

To get them started, have a look at MS4W and Geomoose. MS4w is a Windows friendly install of apache, mapserver, etc. Geomoose is an easy to customize (edit a little XML and a map file) implementation of OpenLayers with a great demo web app and integrated
with MS4W.<br class="">

I am helping some friends migrate their work to a real GIS (from a hodgepodge of AutoCad and MS-Excel spreadsheets). Unfortunately, for me, they use Windows (the last time I used Windows was 1997). I will try and convince them to start using some kind of Linux,
at least for their geospatial needs, but assuming I can’t, what is the easiest way to get them started with web mapping?<br class="">
<br class="">
Fwiw, I am installing PostGIS for them and outfitting them with QGIS. So, the desktop/datastore part is covered. But I don’t have time to build a full fledged Leaflet app. Is there something I can install on a Windows machine that will read data from PostGIS
and serve it on the web, and allow some level of customization of the interface?<br class="">
<br class="">
(Sadly, I don’t even know what version of Windows they are using, but I recall it had a lot of bouncy windows so it must be one of the newer versions.)<br class="">
<br class="">
Many thanks in advance,<br class="">
