[mapserver-users] MapServer for Windows

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

The ”relevant binaries” means copying into the cgi-bin directory of MS4W all the .dll files from \release-1600-gdal-mapserver.zip\bin\ as well as mapserv.exe from \release-1600-gdal-mapserver.zip\bin\ms\apps\.  I believe that 32-bit binaries must be used.

I made a short test with my old MS4W installation and Apache did start and all the old mapfiles I tried were working after these substitutions. However, from previous experience I know that mixed binaries can make troubles. I also believe that Mapserver is losing users because we lack an easy way to install current version on Windows.

If you still using ms4w+Apache, try replacing the relevant binaries from release-1600 builds from http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ which should be a compatible build well enough, though PHP is not being compiled at the moment. You can also download an IIS based msi installer with CGI registration capabilities (not fastCGI) from http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/.

Best regards,

Tamas

Hey all,
Mapserver for Windows :)
I've seen a bit about this online but sometimes more information can be more confusing. I've used MS4W before and loved it but I have noticed the versions are getting far removed from the latest build and that concerns me. I would like to install MapServer (including the admin webpage (which made life a lot easier)) but the latest version - apparently there has been a fix to the PolygonSymbolizer stroke-opacity not working within Mapserver that I'd like to try out. I will be primarily using it to build a WMS service.
Can anyone suggest from personal experience which his the best route to go to get the latest Mapserver (including upgrades/new builds, etc) for Windows?

Cheers,
Ben
