[Mapserver-users] Red Hat LInux Mapserver/Mapscript compilation

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

On RedHat, we've ripped out Apache and PHP, as they came from RedHat... 
and PostGres, as well, and installed from tarball.  Doing this, we've 
seen no problems that weren't related to fumbling the keyboard.  Before 
we decided on this approach, we had all sorts of problems accessing PHP 
reliably and using Postgres as a standard DB call.

HTH,
Gerry
