[ka-Map-users] "Cleaner" Apache Configuration for ka-map

[Jeff McKenna]

I think we are still misunderstanding each other.  MS4W has several 
packages available that you can download and extract at the same root as 
your MS4W installation, and avoid doing the manual steps that you 
mention.  For example, if you already have the MS4W base installed at 
C:/, to install GMAP the easiest way is to download the MS4W-gmap 
package (http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/gmap_ms4w.zip) and simply 
extract that at C:/ and restart apache.  The same goes for ka-Map, its 
MS4W package is available at 
http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/kamap_0.1.1_ms4w.zip, and the 
instructions are 1) extract it to the same root as your ms4w, and 2) 
restart apache.

The important note is that if you downloaded the non-ms4w ka-map package 
you would have to do some configuring, as you mentioned.  The point of 
these ms4w packages (all available on 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html) is to 
avoid configuring.
