[FGS] Fedora 5 Installation Problem

[julien.63 at free.fr]

Hi Thomas,
I'm using fgs under FC5. Here below a reminder i've made for me.
As you could notice, i'm installing as simple user (not as root).
I hope it will help you.

=================================================
1- Download the package :
http://www.maptools.org/fgs/index.phtml?page=downloads.html

=================================================
2- Before installing, make sure SElinux is desactivated.
edit the selinux file in /etc/sysconfig/
edit the config file in /etc/selinux/
the line should be : SELINUX=disabled

=================================================
3- Install the fgs-mapserver package :
[julien at localhost ~]$ sh fgs-mapserver_phpmapscript_4.8.2-1.2-linux-i386.bin
you will be asked :
? Where do you want to install the FGS suite [/home/julien/fgs] ?
press enter to have this default setting

then you will be asked :
? What TCP port do you want to use [8080] :
press enter to keep the default setting or choose among 80, 8080, 8000,...
You may have this error message :
Syntax error on line 3 of /home/julien/fgs/www/conf.d/php.conf:
Cannot load /home/julien/fgs/www/libexec/libphp4.so into server: libstdc++.so.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/home/julien/fgs/etc/init.d/apache start: httpd could not be started
 Don't worry, we're gonna fix that now!

Go in the fgs folder (or where you just installed the fgs-mapserver package)
[julien at localhost ~]$ cd fgs


Type the command line below to load the environement setting
[julien at localhost fgs]$ . setenv.sh

Type the command line below to download and install the missing librairy
[julien at localhost fgs]$ fgs install libstdc++-lib:5.0.7
http://www.maptools.org/dl/fgs/modules/0.2

this should gives you :
+ Installing libstdc++-lib:
+ Getting and extracting module 'libstdc++-lib'... ok
+ Copying all files into FGS environment... ok
Module 'libstdc++-lib' installed with success.

Then type :
[julien at localhost fgs]$ fgs start

which should ends with :
/home/julien/fgs/etc/init.d/apache start: httpd started it's running.

If this message comes up :
[Fri Jul  7 10:46:55 2006] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:8080 has no VirtualHosts
Then open the www/conf/httpd.conf file and at the end of the file comment the
line (930) NameVirtualHost *:$PORT by putting « # » in front.

=================================================
4- Install the demo :
download the demo from :
http://cvs.gis.umn.edu/dist/itasca3.5.tar.gz

untar the archive and put all the content in a folder named 'demo' in
~/fgs/www/htdocs/

edit the index.html file in ~/fgs/www/htdocs/demo/

change the variable as the comments say:
<!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION -->
<form name="demo" method="GET" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv"
onSubmit="submit_form()">
<input type="hidden" name="layer" value="lakespy2">
<input type="hidden" name="layer" value="dlgstln2">
<input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>
<!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->
<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/home/julien/fgs/www/htdocs/demo/itasca.map">
<input type="hidden" name="program" value="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
<input type="hidden" name="root" value="/demo">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
value="/home/julien/fgs/www/htdocs/tmp/">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="/tmp/">

open the browser to :
