[mapserver-users] Re: Using mapserver on windows in production

[Bowerman,Dan [Burlington]]

While I personally had a ton of issues attempting to get MS4W working with IIS7.5 under Windows 7, if you're willing to use IIS6 instead, this guide is terrific for getting that setup:

http://www.geomoose.org/docs/install_ms4w.html

If you do manage to get it working under 7.5, please share the steps! These steps may more or less transfer over, but I had long given up on my 7.5 ambitions by the time I had found this guide. There is more documentation available for MS4W under IIS6 which is what our production systems are currently running anyways.

Hope that helps,

I'm sorry, but I think i'm not even there yet.

I can get ms4w working in the default configuration (older version of
apache and and old version of php), but I want to make it work with
the latest version of IIS / php.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to get IIS7.5 to talk to the older
version of php...It only seems to work when i point a mapping to
C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\php5isapi.dll.  This gets me up to the point
where I try to dl('php_mapscript.dll') but i get a warning about not
being able to do that in IIS.
When i add php_mapscript.dll to the extensions in php.ini, nothing
happens.  I think i may be missing a dependency or soemthing?

Running php in cgi mode results in this error:
HTTP Error 502.2 - Bad Gateway
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete
set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are "".

I"m feeling quite frustrated right now.  What is the best way to be
able to use php/mapscript in production in windows?
