[mapserver-users] mapserver or MS4W package on Windows x64

[John Callahan]

I started working with the x64 binaries from Tamas' site at 
http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx.  MSVC2005 (Win64) seemed 
most appropriate for me.  However, I did not see php mapscript support.  
Is that true?  I did see mapscript for java, python, and csharp. 

Can php mapscript run at all with x64 versions of Apache/PHP and/or 
Mapserver?   If not, then I'll have to give up x64 or PHP.  Bummer.


I've also been reading that I should run Mapserver in fastcgi mode, in 
either Win32 or Win64 versions. Does that mean to use PHP mapscript that 
I need to run PHP in cgi/fastcgi mode and NOT as an apache module?


Thanks for any advice.  It's a bit confusing.
