[mapserver-users] How to Mapserver 6.4 on Windows?

[Størner.Henrik Juul HSO]

Hi,

I did this recently on a 2012 R2 server, using IIS as the webserver. Based on some webpages found via Google I ended up with this procedure:

Get http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/PackageList.aspx?file=release-1600-x64-gdal-1-11-0-mapserver-6-4-1.zip (release version)
Unzip release-1600-x64-gdal-1-11-0-mapserver-6-4-1.zip to c:\program files\mapserver
Cop/move bin\ms\apps\mapserv.exe -> bin\
Copy/move bin\gdal\plugins\ -> bin\gdalplugins\

Moving gdal-plugins turned out to be necessary for the ECW plugin I needed to be picked up.

IIS (see also https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/Installing-Mapserver-under-IIS-7.n-with-FastCGI )
*  Click Start, Control Panel, Programs, Turn Windows features on or off.
*  Select Internet Information Services.
*  Select Web Management Tools then select IIS Management Console.
*  Select World Wide Web Services
*  In Application development Features, select ASP, CGI, ISAPI Extensions, ISAPI Filters and Server-Side Includes.
*  In Common HTTP Features, select Default Document, HTTP Errors, HTTP Redirection and Static Content.
*  In Health and Diagnostics, select HTTP Logging and Request Monitor.
*  In Performance Features, select Static Content Compression.
*  In Security, select Request Filtering.

Start IIS Manager
*  Highlight Default Web Site under Sites
*  Double-click ASP in the centre panel of IIS Manager and ensure the following are set: Enable Parent Paths
*  Click on Default Web Site then double-click Handler Mappings in the centre panel.
*  In the Actions Pane, click Add Module Mapping then set the following:
*       Request path: mapserv.exe
*       Module: FastCgiModule
*       Executable: "C:\Program Files\mapserver\bin\mapserv.exe"
*       Name: Mapserver via FastCGI
*  Click on Request Restrictions and set the following:
*       Mapping Tab: Check "Invoke handler ... ", then set for "File".
*       Verbs Tab: "One of the following ...", enter "GET,HEAD,POST".
*       Access Tab: Check "Execute".
*       Whilst the "Mapserver via FastCGI" handler mapping is highlighted, click on Edit feature permissions in the right hand panel then ensure that read, script and execute are checked.
*       Select Default Web Site and View Applications, then in Action Pane Add Application
o       Alias: mapserver
o       Application Pool: DefaultAppPool
o       Physical path: c:\Program Files\Mapserver\bin

Test with the URL http://localhost/mapserver/mapserv.exe - it must return the error message " No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty."

Now you need to setup your map-files and source data, but this should at least get your Mapserver installation up and running.

Regards,
Henrik Størner

Hi,
I would like to install Mapserver 6.4.x on a Windows OS.
What should I do? ... I immagine "recompile", but can someone post some more details on specific steps to follow.

Thank you.
