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
  • build instructions for reference:
$ cd /osgeo/mapserver/
$ git clone https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver.git mapserver-git
