[MS4W-Users] Some problems installing ms4w Windows Server 2003 64 Bit

[David Alda Fernandez de Lezea]

Hello Jeff,

Ms4w version 3.0.0 beta11 was unable to be installed. We tried out all
the mentioned steps but it didn't work except 'Test 5)', because the
verion we really wanted to be installed was beta10, so we installed VC++
package and Apache was installed succesfully. 

Thanks.

Hello David,

I will comment inline below:

Beta10's Apache required the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
Package (x86)" to be installed on the system, but this requirement was
removed in Beta11.

I believe you have received a warning from Apache on your server.  You
could try the following tests:

Test 1) - goto 127.0.0.1 in a browser

Test 2) - goto 192.168.2.45 in a browser

Test 3) - edit /ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf

         - replace line#163 with

            ServerName localhost

         - restart Apache

         - goto localhost in your browser

Test 4) - edit C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

         - make sure there are the following lines

               127.0.0.1      localhost

         - restart the machine

         - goto localhost in your browser

         - if that does not work, try this in the hosts file instead:

               192.168.2.45   localhost

Test 5) - install MS4W on a difference machine and retry

MS4W 3.0 beta11 was successfully tested on a Windows 2003 Server R2
32bit instance.



Thank you for using MS4W, I hope that it helps you share your spatial 
information.
