[mapserver-users] alternatives to ms4w?

[Marco Afonso]

Hi,

"apache, postgis and php with mapserver,"

You are looking for a sort of GeoWAMP package ... :) That would be good for
MapIgniter too. Currently I recom to install ms4w and postgis... take a
look at http://mapigniter.com/wiki/install-windows
