You can use WebStudio, and it is Open Source.<br>
MapGuide OS is also Open Source.<br>
You can download all the source from osgeo.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, since all is given away for free, some areas are lacking.<br>
WebStudio is missing some funtionality, because the community has not
yet prioritized further development of that application.<br>
AFAIK, the biggest problem with WebStudio is the missing WebLayout
functionality, which makes it difficult to produce a working solution.<br>
You may use the HTTP interface, and read/write the WebLayout xml files
yourself, but it is very tedious.<br>
<br>
If you need more than WebStudio currently provides, you must develop it
yourself (or make some do it for you).<br>
Another (and perhaps more realistic) approach is to purchase Autodesk
MapGuide Studio.<br>
It is closed source and not free in any way, but it does allow you to
manage MapGuide Open Source, and it supports Load Procedures for
shapefiles.<br>
Autodesk Map 3D does also interact with the MapGuide server, but I am
unsure how much of the setup you can perform from Map 3D.<br>
<br>
If you just want to use shape files, have a look at the OGR provider, I
belive it supports ESRI shapefiles.<br>

<div>Hi all.</div>
<div>It's around 3 weeks i've transferred to MGOS. but it sounds it
is not completely open source (free).</div>
<div>for example, how can i make maps and load my shapefiles to
internet and do any needed editting on them WITHOUT using any
commercial software? someone told me i need to purchase MapGuide Web
Studio!!!!</div>
<div>anyway, i thought that i found a clear way to build my own
WebGIS site but maybe i'm wrong.</div>
<div>(as another question, i have Autocad map 3D. Does it help in
WebGIS creation? )</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best Regards</div>
</div>
