[mapserver-users] Noob questions: configuring mapserver rpms on Fedora/CentOS machines

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

I've become somewhat deft in using Q-GIS, PostGIS, along w/ PostgreSQL.

I'm now set on moving into the Mapserver realm.

At the risk of alienating the mature constituency of this list, I have 
some basic configuration questions.

I have mapserver rpms installed on a Fedora 18 system. Mapserver binaries 
are placed in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin directories.

What is the preferred (and more elegant) way of putting relevant binaries 
into the referenced Apache cgi-bin directory: symbolic links? or copying 
the binaries into the /var/www/cgi-bin directory?

Or is there yet another alternative?

One foreseeable issue is the maintenance/updating of binaries via RPM.

Much thanks,

Max Pyziur
