  • 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/ )

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: https://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
$ cd mapserver-git/
$ git checkout branch-7-0
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DLINK_STATIC_LIBMAPSERVER=1 -DWITH_PYTHON=0 -DWITH_FRIBIDI=0 -DWITH_HARFBUZZ=0 -DWITH_CAIRO=0 -DWITH_FCGI=0
