MapServer Installation on AdhocVM
- MapServer 5.6.5 through FGS
- home: /osgeo/mapserver/fgs/
Apache Configuration
A virtualhost is setup for demo.mapserver.org, through:
- /etc/apache2/sites_available/demo.mapserver.org
- to enable the virtualhost, the following command was used:
/usr/sbin/a2ensite demo.mapserver.org
Note that a proxy is setup to point to the FGS Apache which is running on port 8080
- server logfiles live at:
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/demo.mapserver.org-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/demo.mapserver.org-access_log combined
- mapserv and other CGI binaries are in the FGS environment: /osgeo/mapserver/fgs/www.cgi-bin
Restarting FGS Apache
- set the FGS environment, in /osgeo/mapserver/fgs/ execute the command:
. setenv.sh
- then execute:
fgs stop ; fgs start
(you may get 'pg_ctl: Permission denied' errors that you can ignore, as Apache should start anyway)
Adding Apache Aliases
- see examples in /osgeo/mapserver/fgs/www/conf.d/

MapServer 7.x CGI
current version installed: 7.0.6
- A statically compiled "mapserv70" CGI has been compiled to support the V7+ tutorial. This is a static build so it has no external dependency.
- Web URL: http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/mapserv70
- Source build in /osgeo/mapserver/mapserver-git-branch-7-0/build
- Note that this binary has to be installed under the FGS server's /osgeo/mapserver/fgs/www/cgi-bin/ directory since that's where the http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/ points to
- Administrators: dmorissette / jmckenna
