[mapserver-users] Map Server configuration in Ubuntu 18.04lts

Thu Jan 24 01:55:45 PST 2019

It's a bit out of date now, but as your reference is MS4W you could look at the old OneGeology cookbook section below

 HI Stathis,   I think you need to create a symlink between the installed mapserv and the the directory that points to cgi-bin in your webserver. Something like:  ln -s /usr/local/bin/mapserv /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv.
Regarding the installation you probably installed version 7.0.4 while the developers team have announced the release of 7.2 which supports php- mapscript for  php7.* now, which is cool. I haven't tried it in my machine yet.

 Hello all,

I decided to change operating system and installed Ubuntu 18.04lts in an old computer I have.

I successfully installed apache with a sudo command, I can see that is running by typing localhost in a browser.

I also installed cgi-mapserver package with a sudo command however I am not sure that it is somehow connected to apache. Is there any certain configuration that needs to be done for having a mapserv url like in Windows when using the ms4w package? (Something like http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv ?)

Thank you

Hi Stefanos,

I ran that command the link existed already. I deleted it and re-executed the command so the link is re created. But still when i type http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv I am receiving an error message that the url/mapserv was not found on this server

Any ideas or knowledge on what could be the problem?

Thank you
Stathis

 Hi Stathis,        please try mapserv -v at your terminal.
Also: you need to copy your installed mapserv to cgi-bin directory:  cp mapserv /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapservThen I think you need to create a Directory block in your apache config file that points to /usr/lib/cgi-binand then symlink again.
Try to restart you apache: sudo service apache2 restart Stefanos
