[mapserver-users] Production mapserver

[Jeff Dege]

Useful to know, but I don't want to let your comment distract from my original question.  I listed MS4W only as an example of an easy-to-install MapServer configuration.  What I'm actually trying to get working is MapServer on Linux.

Quick comment:

MS4W is in fact ready to use in a production environment, and it is definitely used for production purposes by thousands of organizations: 
take the time to review the steps to enable FastCGI, for example (http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#f-fastcgi).

Long-time MS4W users might remember that the MS4W opening page used to state that it was not for production purposes; but that is no longer the case.

Thanks.
