[mapserver-users] mapserver or MS4W package on Windows x64

[John Callahan]

I have an existing server running x64 Windows Server 2008.  I've been 
running x64 version sof Apache 2.2.10 and PHP 5.2.5 as downloaded and 
described here: 
http://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/64bit-apache-php-mysql-windows.html   
(PHP is currently running as an apache module)


My question is could I use MS4W and follow the instructions under 
Installing for other Environments 
(http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL_3.0.html#j-installing-the-ms4w-mapserver-binaries-in-other-environments)

Or, should I install the pieces (mapserver, gdal, etc...) separately, 
and possibly got the x64 versions from 
http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx ?


At the start, I'll be using Mapserver for viewing of basic WMS services, 
nothing fancy.  Not too far in the future though, I'll be using PHP or 
Python mapscript code, and/or implementing a package like GeoMoose. My 
data will be shapefiles, PostGIs features, and a few raster formats.   


Any suggestions on where I should start with setting up my server?  Thanks.
