either have to <br>configure your 64bit server to run 32bit applications, or obtain a 64bit <br>version of MapServer (you can contact me directly if you choose the <br>latter option)<br><br>- MS4W contains a custom PHP version; I have seen errors like that when <br>users try to use their own PHP builds with the MS4W mapscript. Easiest <br>way out of that situation is to use the MS4W version of PHP and <br>mapscript together.<br><br>- if you have any further questions about MS4W be sure to use the MS4W <br>mailing list (subscribe at <br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users">http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users</a>)<br><br>Hope that helps.<br><br>-jeff<br><br>-- <br>Jeff McKenna<br>MapServer Consulting and Training Services<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/">http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/</a><br><br>**********************<br><br>Multi-use
server. Prefer to use a standard binary from http://www.php.net. Use of IIS 7 is a requirement. x-64 is an option given that PHP still runs as 32-bit only.<br><br>I got php_mapscript.dll to work by installing the thread-safe VC9 version of PHP 5.3.5. But, I'm aware of some of the flaky issues with thread safety.<br><br>Is php_mapscript.dll now thread safe? Or, is the modified version of PHP included with MS4W really a NTS version that has been modified to not flag extensions that use different comipler options (i.e. TS vs. NTS).<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br> </pre></td></tr></tbody></table></div></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
