[mapserver-users] Upgrading Apache and PHP that came with MS4W

[EVANS, JAMES R GS-13 USAF ACC 84 RADES/SCZE]

Our servers already had IIS running, and I would have to justify running Apache under our new accreditation.  I probably would prefer to go with Apache, but it was easier to go with IIS.

Hi James,

Thanks for your reply. Why did you choose to migrate from MS4W to IIS + GisInternals build, and not to Apache + GisInternals builds?

Are you using PHP/MapScript?
