Mapserver demo - troubles

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Steve,

I would be good if you could summarize the changes you need to make in 
the migration guide. It seems like some people are having more problems 
with the migration than others and a little extra doc might help with 
some of it.

Thanks,
   -Steve W
