[mapguide-users] The "ideal" MapGuide server?

[Marcus Spurkel]

Excellent.  Hopefully I can stick with Core 5 then.  I'm sure the 
FastCGI issue is just a glitch on my part.  Like I said, I didn't 
install from your Apache/PHP/Tomcat file, as I already have Apache and 
PHP running.  Instead I tried to duplicate all the setup items from the 
install script (including the mapguide.conf file that it generates) but 
it's definitely possible that I overlooked something or implemented it 
incorrectly.  I'll go over it again carefully and let you know what happens.
