[mapserver-users] Update MapServer in demo.mapserver.org?

Wed May 14 08:43:44 PDT 2014

Hi,
Somehow I missed the fact that there was a demo mapserver running.  That
would have been very helpful.  I just looked over the Mapserver.Org site,
and I don't see it there.  Maybe it should be a little easier to find.

Hmm,

This is an interesting problem.

We had a similar problem to this a few years back where we needed to run
some legacy programs against an older version of mapserver while still being
able to upgrade the majority of systems to a newer version.

What we ended up implementing is some Apache rules to handle using different
MapServer versions via CGI calling parameters.  I wonder if it makes any
sense to suggest here, that all viable (still living) development versions
of MapServer be set up in demo mode, and run side by side.  While there may
not be an immediate return, I think over time, something like this might
become a nice tool for development tasks.  I myself tend to work primarily
on Mapfile design and only occasionally look at the underlying code, and
only then to suggest some possible enhancements.

Remote data access would be the next big steeping stone of course . . .

Hi,

I hope that right persons are reading this list. As a user I appreciate that
there is a demo server online so I can try if some troubles we have are
specific for us. However, the demo site demo.mapserver.org is running
MapServer version 5.6.5 while we run 6.4 and those versions do not behave in
a similar way. Could it be possible to update the site to use Mapserver 6.4?
Version 5.6.5 is three years old so might be worth considering if updates
could happen even more frequently in the future.
