[mapserver-users] Upgrading Apache and PHP that came with MS4W

Thu Feb 27 21:28:16 PST 2014

Thanks for the reply.  That's too bad.  I really won't have a choice very shortly.  The apache 2.2.21 is showing up as a cat-1 vulnerability and We either get it upgraded or take it off.  The same for PHP.
Thanks,
James

Hi James,

Nobody answered for you so supposedly that means that the answer is: No, there are no documents and probably no compiled Mapcache binaries available for Windows.
I managed to install Apache and Mapserver 6.4.1 from with the OSGeo4W installer. Also daily development buids of Mapserver are available but not Mapcache. The installed Apache seems to be version 2.2.14-4 and PHP is a bit old version 5.2.5 from Nov 8, 2007 so that is not the way for you to upgrade.
However, I have noticed that your conclusion was to  switch to Geoserver. Follow the situation, perhaps you can switch back one day but once you have configured Geoserver and built all the SLD styles it may feel a bit heavy.
