Hello, all:<br><br>I purchased a shard hosting plan a few months ago, and wnted to implement<br>mapserver. Due to the nature of shared hosting, all I can do is to upload<br>files. it is unfortunate that they do not allow compiling, installtion, or
<br>change of environmental variables.<br><br>I have been looking around for about a month, and have not found a solution<br>yet.<br><br>I tried FWTOOLS, using the approach that Frank Warmerdam indicated (below), but<br>with no luck.
<br><br>- upload mapserv executable and all the shared libraries somewhere.<br>- upload proj.4 support files (like epsg init file) somewhere<br>- create a mapserv wrapper script in the cgi-bin directory which sets<br> environment variables pointing to various things and then executes
<br> the real mapserv binary. Environment variables would include:<br> LD_LIBRARY_PATH: needs to point to directory with all the .so files.<br> PROJ_LIB: needs to point to directory with the proj support files.
<br><br>Now I have to come back to this mailing list for help. Basically, I am looking<br>for the mapserver cgi and the SO files (for libpng, freetype, libgd, Zlib,<br>Proj4, GEOS, GDAL). I will use a wrapper script to define the location of the
<br>dependencies, using Frank Warmerdam's suggestions.<br><br>I will appreciate it if anyone can email me this type of binary package.<br>Honestly, I do not know if such package exists.<br><br>Thank you<br><br>Peter<br>
