[Mapserver-users] installation in a shared hosting environment

[Tyler Mitchell]

This is topic that I believe is worthy of a tutorial or more discussion. I 
think many folks aim to get things running in this environment but get 
stuck.  Anyone want to share more about the process and the limitations 
(i.e. if you don't have shell access to compile)?
