[Mapserver-users] installation in a shared hosting environment

[Hal Mueller]

I'm about to try again to install onto a shared hosting setup (the 
Ensim virtual server, running Linux, I think Redhat).

The shared hosting comes with Apache, PHP, and mySQL already 
installed, and maintained by the hosting company.  I don't want to 
break the preinstalled Apache/PHP.  But I do specifically want 
PHPmapscript available.

I'm about to install a second copy of PHP, in a separate clean 
subdirectory, which will be used only to drive Mapserv/Mapscript.  Is 
this a viable plan?  Anything to worry about?  Any suggestions on 
config options or other gotchas?

TIA,
Hal
