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

(if you get 'pg_ctl' errors, verify proper ownership of the folder: /osgeo/mapserver/fgs/apps/pgsql/ )

Adding Apache Aliases

• see examples in /osgeo/mapserver/fgs/www/conf.d/

• 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
