Hi
<br><br>my answer are inline:
<br><br>> 1.not required to install mapserver(ms4w) in server machine if we use
<br>> mapscript interface...is it correct???
<br>> 2.if like that how it is connected with mapserver ??
<br><br>you don't need to use the installer, it is enough that the dll are
<br>accessible to your web application, like suggested in the tutorial.
<br>Set the path or copy them to the bin folder. If you do the latter you
<br>can easily deploy your web application to a production server without
<br>need to install mapserver.
<br><br>> 3.if we use CGI then is it required to install ms4w in server????
<br><br>as suggested above, only the dll are needed
<br><br>> 4.cgi or mapscript which is the better option for creating mapserver website
<br>> in vs2005???
<br><br>if you want a nice API go with mapscript, otherwise you have to work
<br>with CGI requests and responses.
<br><br>> 5.is it required to run swig.exe in server machine for this mapscript
<br>> tutorial???
<br><br>No, swig is needed to produce the API binding for the various
<br>languages, you don't need it to run mapserver as far as i know.
<br><br>> 6.what is the supporting gis data format in mapserver?
<br><br>please refer to the documentation:
<br>vector data: <a href="http://mapserver.org/input/vector/index.html" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://mapserver.org/input/vector/index.html</a><br>raster data: <a href="http://mapserver.org/input/raster.html" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://mapserver.org/input/raster.html</a><br><br>anyway being based on GDAL/OGR, whatever format is readable with it
<br>should be accessed by MapServer.
<br><br>> 7.i have my own gis data created using mapinfo professional...how can i add
<br>> that data in to this file...is it possible to call mapinfo .mws from this
<br>> tutorial???
<br><br>don't know MapInfo, but again please refer to MapServer's documentation:
<br><br><a href="http://mapserver.org/input/vector/mapinfo.html" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://mapserver.org/input/vector/mapinfo.html</a><br><br>best regards
