[Geomoose-users] Geomoose and mapcache

[Brent Fraser]

Mark,

   Many thanks for this.  My Googling showed that you had blazed the 
trail a few years ago when mapcache first appeared; very brave.

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

I've been able to edit the httpd.conf file (for some reason I had C:C: in my mapcache paths), restart Apache, and click on the Demo link under MapCache URLs heading  in the http://localhost page of MS4W.  The page showed me the demo data in the available tiling schemes.  Took me a while to figure out the HTML did not exist on disk as mapcache was generating these demo pages.
