<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi xiaochun</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mapserver is a cgi software ( comman gate Interface
)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CGI is an executable EXE file wich can run on your
server ( needs special permission from your admin
)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mapserver receive your parameters and use them to
create a map raster image</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>These parameters are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 - Layers Names</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 - coordinates </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3 - data subdirectory which where cgi.exe can
find your ( .shp , .shx , .dbf )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4 - output subdirectory which where cgi.exe will
produce the map raster image</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5 - required function such as ( zoom in , zoom out
, pan , etc. )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>6 - and other lots of parameters</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So You write your internet site by HTML
language</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and You send the parameters by html and
java script languages</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>then you receive the map raster image by html and
java script languages</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Internet Site can be done completely without
java script, but it will not be a proffesional site</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Java script give power to the site</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suggest that first download the mapserver
demo and install it in your server and study it well</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>later you can make your own internet site
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you and best Regards<BR>Mohamed

First, thank you very much for your reply.<BR> What I want to do is
publish my map and database of my project through the Internet.<BR> And
the user could use my database to make instant maps through the
website.<BR> And you know, I am totally new in this area and I think I
have the problem in installing the mapserver and get it work.<BR> Do you
have some advice?<BR> Thanks a lot.<BR><BR>
