Thoughts? Perhaps if a few people express interest, I can go ahead and reserve space at "the usual spot" at the Fox and Feather.

I'm really stuck! > > Thanks, > Sebastian Sebastian, MS4W comes configured with an Apache that is ready to run on any drive root, so you should not be editing Apache's httpd.conf file (if you have either undo or extract a fresh copy of MS4W). Once you have extracted a fresh MS4W, you can go to 127.0.0.1 in your browser and click on the various links on that page, showing you that MapServer and Apache are installed properly on your machine. Now, for any application that you want to run with your MS4W installation, you should use the following settings in your MapServer applications: IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/" IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp" Normal practice for MS4W is that all applications live in the /ms4w/ apps/ directory. You can then add Apache aliases to your application's directory in the /ms4w/httpd.d directory. The easiest way to see how this is all setup is to download an add-on package from that MS4W download page (such as the "PHP/MapScript Sample Application" package), refresh your Apache, and go back to the 127.0.0.1 page and look for a new link at the bottom of the page...then you can see how that package sets Apache aliases etc. Unfortunately this is different instructions than your book, but the good news is that most of the configuration that that book asks you to do is already done for you with MS4W. This is all explained in detail in the MS4W README, which you have in your /ms4w folder, or it is also online: http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html) Also, MS4W has its own mailing list for configuration questions, if you get stuck..... subscribe at: http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users) have fun! --- Jeff McKenna FOSS4G Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Jeff and myself have been fulfilling the roles of co-chairs or co-presidents for a while now and we both feel it is time for new blood and new ideas to come to the local chapter. Having two people fill this position is ideal as we all sometimes have competing commitments. So we would like to formally open up the opportunity to all the newcomers and the regulars to step forward and volunteer to fill these roles. We will start with a volunteer/nomination process and then move to votes after a couple of weeks. What to do: 1. If you want to volunteer, contact Jeff or myself directly through e-mail indicating you would like to fill one of the two positions. 2. If you know of a leader in our community that would fit nicely in this position then please ask their permission to nominate them. Then you can contact Jeff or myself via e-mail to contribute your nomination. 3. A couple of weeks from now we will compile the list of names and throw it back at the community to vote on (private or public casts? Maybe through the wiki?) 4. The two highest counts get the position. If there are any suggestions as to the process, let us know. We can modify them. As long as the process is democratic and transparent we can play with the model. Thanks. Dave & Jeff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We just wanted to remind the group of our need to choose two new co-chairs. If you are interested in taking on the role then please contact us off-line. If you know someone who might be a good candidate, ask them to step forward and help the local OSGeo community. We think it would be great to have the theme of the next chapter meeting be the ?new co-chair kickoff?. If you have any questions we can address them on the mailing list or through personal e-mail. Thanks for everyone's energy in keeping the momentum of the OSGeo local Chapter going.
