AW: [Cartoweb-users] MapServer 5

[Lauber Christoph]

Hi Bruno and Milo and all the other list members of course

Thanks a lot for your Help and Information.
I got 2 more questions:

1. Bruno, you gave the information about MapServer 5.2 where you got troubles with tif raster. Does that mean that MapServer has troubles with displaying tif Raster in your CartoWeb project or with the tif outputformat defined the mapfile? If there are troubles with tif raster data display i can't use version 5.2. To big effort to translate all my tif images to png.

2. If I'm right MapServer 5.x has new mapfile tags and old ones from MapServer 4.x are not supported anymore. So I guess i will have some problems if I just update MapServer 4.10.1 to MapServer 5.x. Is there a documentation how I can install 2 MapServer versions on the same server and link my productive CartoWeb projects to MapServer 4.10.1 and the development projects to 5.x?
This documentation doesen't have to be very detailed. I'm not the System Admin, but I have to tell him what he has to do.

Thanks a lot for your help

Christoph Lauber

Debian stable is always old stable :-)

Mapserver has release or will in the next few days the 5.2x version ( no more 5.0 ) ;-)

Work quiet well, we just got trouble with tif raster which can be replace by png.

No need to use packages. I got some instruction on how to compile from
source. It is a bit more work but on a clean debian it will work ok.

Here is the part that can be of interest to you. The total instruction
will be posted on the mapserver website or within OSGeo once I reached
what I want: a stable fastcgi mapserver running with the cherokee webserver.


== GDAL/ORG ==
$ wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.5.1.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf gdal-1.5.1.tar.gz
$ cd gdal-1.5.1
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

== PROJ ==
$ wget http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-4.6.0.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf proj-4.6.0.tar.gz
$ cd proj-4.6.0
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

= AGG =
$ wget http://www.antigrain.com/agg-2.5.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf agg-2.5.tar.gz
$ cd agg-2.5
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install


== Mapserver==

Dependencies:
$ apt-get install g++ proj libgeos-dev libgdal1-1.3.2-dev libgd2-dev
libcurl3-dev libfcgi-dev
$ cd ~
$ cd temp
$ wget http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/mapserver-5.0.3.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf mapserver-5.0.3.tar.gz
$ cd mapserver-5.0.3
$ ./configure --with-ogr \
	--with-gdal \
	--with-proj \
	--with-geos \
	--with-fastcgi \
	--with-tiff \
	--with-wfs \
	--with-agg=/directory_where_agg_is \
	--with-freetype | more
(|more is used to read the messages during configure to see if all libs
are in place)

$ make
$ make install
