[mapguide-users] Apache?

[Jackie Ng]

MapGuide comes bundled with Apache because.

1 - It uses FastCGI, which to my knowledge a FastCGI module only exists for
the 2.0.x series.
2 - It allows you to host MapGuide in a separated environment that doesn't
interfere with your other services. It installs in a separate dir and runs
on a non-default port
3 - It's just convenient.

You don't have to use the bundled apache, but it's much easier to setup if
you do ;-)
