[Chameleon] Chameleon Installation

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

most easy thing to do is install MS4W and then Chameleon 1.1 and the 
Chameleon sample application as an MS4W package. But then you'll have an 
embedded Apache instead of IIS. But to get things working soon this is the 
best option.

MS4W can be found on www.maptools.org as well.

Answer to your questions inline.

Best regards,
Bart

You do not need cwc2.php in Chameleon 1.1. This is the service instance 
which is not yet part of Chameleon 1.1. Chameleon 1.1 works with 
applications instead of with a central service instance.

I don't have it in my cwc2.xml. Which <param-name> has this value?

You have to install the sample application and run it through the 
following URL (if you have configured your webserver properly, this should 
run the index.phtml file through the PHP interpreter):

http://localhost/chameleon_demo/
