[maplab-users] how to move from local computer to the web

[Stephen Wallace]

Tyler

 Sorry to take so long in reply. I deal with two ISP's and spoke with
both last week. I do not have the rights to load Mapserver.  One of the
two has PHP support on the server.  I don't know if this useful by
itself. In addition, I was told about pghoster an ISP that may have
mapserver loaded and accessible for a small additional fee. Last week I
sent an inquiry to pghoster but with no reply. I will try again this
week.

My local computer is not accessible to the internet on a regular basis,
so not an option.

I am still exploring other options

Thanks for the assistance.

Hi Stephen, Congratulations on being able to make the next step!  The
simplest scenario would be to duplicate your ms4w and maplab setups to
this external server - it depends what you mean by external and what
kind of access/permissions you have.  Do you have access to installing
programs on the web server?  I'm assuming you have an account with an
ISP that you want to use which usually is pretty limited.  That could be
tricky and not very profitable, others on the list will probably know
better.

There are some mechanisms that would allow you, if possible, to have an
external web page calling on mapserver on another computer - if your
"local" computer is accessible via the internet, this may be the best
way to go.  But, granted, I'm not familiar with your setup.  Let us know
some more.

To the list

I have been working with ms4w and MapLab using the apache server on my
computer. Now I want to move the present results and future work to my
web site. Can some one on the list point me to instructions on how I set
up mapserver on my external web server.

Thank You
