SV: [mapserver-users] Upgrading ms4w setup.exe installer

[Lars Westerlind]

David,

Not really "looking for". I've at last successfully installed the mentioned 5.4.2 in MS4W 3.0. The problem was a dependency to new C++ DLLs or similar, on my Windows Server 2003, which may be followed on the ms4w mailing list. 

 

My original problem was that the 5.4 2 was only included in a zipfile download, not the kind using windows installer. The zipfile download should be loaded at disk drive root, and use port 80. But I've succeeded in changing the apache config files by reading the README of the ms4w very carefully.

 

Thanks.

 

/Lars

Lars, 

 

According to MapTools.org, the latest version of MS4W includes MapServer 5.4.2.  

 

http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/

 

Is this what you are looking for?

 

David.

Struggling on my own then.

 

I've found the instructions, to change paths for the new location (which BTW is under 'Program files' meaning there is space in the path), and to change the port for Apache server, in particular section H in the readme-install. There is a warning against space in the path; however, nothing about caused problems, or what to do when there is a space in the path. So I try anyway.

 

The problem is, "httpd.exe" can't execute 

"The system cannot execute the specified program."

 

I guess there is a missing DLL or something on my Windows XP system. 

 

When I compare with the working previous release, httpd is now smaller than before. I tried using the old httpd in the new environment, but it got problems, probably with wrong configuration.

 

Any hints? Are there required DLLs? Could I simply try running the old httpd with it's old configuration? 

 

/Lars

Hi all,

We would like to upgrade our MapServer which was installed using setup.exe installer installation. Unfortunately there is no such for 5.4.2, and we do want to keep the directory structure, port settings

Etc as we have from our current install. Is there a pointer to some "howto"? 

 

/Lars
