Hi,

MS4W certainly has support for PostGIS. That detail you can check with command

C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin>mapserv -v

If you can find “INPUT=POSTGIS” then you have the support. The next thing to do is to read the documentation https://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/postgis.html.

The previous problem that you had with missing mapscript affects only the QGIS side. QGIS needs mapscript for creating the mapfile for Mapserver but nothing prevents you from writing a mapfile from a scratch with a text editor. Use for example mapfiles used in the ms4w demos https://ms4w.com/download.html as template.

hello how are you ; i need your help to use postgis in mapserver; recently i read an article by jeff mckenna in witch he said that mapserver defaults to postgis database, but that it must be compiled  to work; so my question is how to compile postgis in mapserver since have installed the mapserver from ms4w in order to connect postgis to mapserver.
