IIS works just fine with MapServer; MapServer is simply a CGI
executable, which works with Apache, IIS, and every other Web server I
can think of.

=20

As with any Web application on any OS you need to understand how
permissions are handled, and make sure that your MapServer configuration
is set up so MapServer can read your input data, write output data, and
be used by your Web users.  This arrangement varies with every OS and
Web server; you need to know how to do that with IIS, but IIS is neither
particularly harder or easier than any other arrangement - except to
those who don't know how to use it <g>.

When I am reading about MapServer I can see that Apache Web Server is
mentioned everywhere.

Is it also possible to use Microsofts Internet Information Server
together with MapServer, and if so, will I need to install something
extra ?
