[Geomoose-users] GeoMoose without MapServer

[zery.sp at gmail.com]

Hi All, thanks for your replies.

Before I post here I have talk to them thousand's time about the possibility of using MapServer or GeoServer. I give them both options. I even have asked somewhere else regarding to this matter. Adding our own server ofcourse is out of the question.

They don't explain detail about their rejection to install MS or GS. I think they concern about security etc. The funny thing is they really need the site to have map view.

They also on their way developing a bussines intelligence which of course will be using maps as their front end. I right now struggling how to help them to achieve this with this limitations. I guess I will show them your emails.

I like Mark comments :-), it cheers me up.

Dean, could you wrote something from your (IT) point of view about this matter, something that really could break the ice.


Thank you very much.

Zery,

I need to throw my two cents in.  I am still a bit confused about why
MapServer causes a problem.  As the IT Director for my County I can easily
say that MapServer was not an issue for my web server administrator.  (My
staff do have a few issues with PHP but those can be addressed.)    It
would be great to document the issues  your IT folks are having.  We
(GeoMoose community) need to identify the issues and identify solutions as
it is a good bet that others are having this issue.  Would be happy to
enter into discussions with your IT folks regarding this issue.

FYI - Polk County, Oregon is a relatively small organization with very
limited resources. My staff are very security conscience.  We have GeoMoose
with MapServer on our application server at this time,  but given the ease
of setting up VM's it is just so easy these days to develop isolated web
servers to support applications.
