[mapserver-users] RE: port from Apache to IIS

[Jessie Xu]

Hi all,
Thanks for help on the mapserver configuration on IIS. Now I've figured out the way to run mapserver on IIS7 , which is quite different from the way to IIS 5&6. I made a summary below and share with you. Hope it would be helpful. :)
How to port Mapserver from Apache to IIS 7?
Base configuration

*         Windows 7

*         IIS 7.0

*         MS4W 2.3.1

*         PHP 5.2.6

*         Mapserver 5.2.1

*         MS4W was installed in D:\ms4w

Steps:
Enable FastCGI Support in IIS 7.0
Add the CGI feature by going to Control Panel-> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off.

Install and Configure PHP
Php.ini file is located in D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin. Open the file and modify settings as followed:

*         Set cgi.force_redirect = 0

*         Set cig.fix_pathinfo = 1

Configure IIS 7 to handle PHP requests
In order for IIS 7.0 to host PHP applications, it is necessary to add a handler mapping that tells IIS to pass all PHP specific requests to the PHP application framework via FastCGI protocol.

*         Open IIS Manger

*         Create a new site (eg. map)

*         select and open "Handler Mappings" under  the new site

*         Add Script Map:

o   Request path: *.php

o   Executable: D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\php-cgi.exe

*         Edit feature permissions: click on read & script & execute

*         Test PHP: http://localhost/phpinfo.php

If everything was setup correctly, you will see the standard PHP information page.

Under the tree for your website, create virtual directories

*         Cgi-bin:    set local path point to d:\ms4w\apache\cgi-bin

*         Ms_tmp:     set local path point to d:\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp

*         Tmp:    set local path point to d:\ms4w\tmp

Mapfile configuration (using gmap for testing)

*         Add a line to the mapfile: CONFIG PROJ_LIB "d:\ms4w\proj\nad\"

*         Create a virtual directory for it:  local path point to: d:\ms4w\apps\gmap\htdocs

Environment Variables

*         Go to system properties -> Advanced -> environment variables

*         Under system variables, find PATH and click edit

*         In the variable value, add D:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin; in it.
Ok, that's it. Try http://localhost/gmap and enjoy!

Warmest regards,
Jessie

Subject: port from Apache to IIS

I'd like to have mapserver running on IIS 7 and want to know how? I saw an article called 'IIS setup for Mapserver' but it is written in 2005 based on IIS 5. Could someone give me a hand to figure out how to port from Apache to IIS 7? What changes should be made to config files, virtual directories and permissions, etc?

Thanks for help!

Jessie
