[mapserver-users] Getting started with mapcache for WMTS...

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Carl,

You can also find those same local MapCache configuration steps for MS4W 
online at https://ms4w.com/README_INSTALL.html#mapcache-apache-module 
(but I'm very glad to see you following the steps in your local README, 
great!)  Thanks again for the positive feedback for MS4W.

PS.  someone asked recently the same question about the mailing list 
search, here was my response:


I just use Google search to query the archives:
   - goto https://google.ca
   - in the search box enter: 
site:lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/ yoursearchterm

This may not always contain the latest archives (depending on the speed 
of Google-mothership bots), but I find it very helpful.

Thank-you for using MS4W.
