Hi Guillaume,

thanks for your answers.

When will a Mapserver/Mapscript 4.6 package be released?

Best regards,
Bart

This is when you install FGS as root. Apache doesn't accept to run as
root. It needs a normal user. 

It could be a good thing to allow the user to ask an user login for
apache (by default, 'apache' user could be suggested). I will add this
feature for the next build of the apache FGS module.

I just removed it. I should not have put this module, it was not well
tested, sorry :(

I'm in the process of building a new module for mapserver 4.6.

Not yet. With fgs-dev, you can build your own FGS module. I will contact
you off-list for more details.
