MapFish is a python - based framework for creating web mapping applications.
Requirement: Python 2.5 or newer and the python-dev package.
MpaFish uses a spatial database. You can use PostGIS or MySQL TO install, you just cut and paste a few instructions from the MapFish page.
Once installed you run in a "virtual environment" which is started with this
source env/bin/activate
Create an application
paster create -t mapfish MapFishApp cd MapFishApp emacs development.ini # edit the IP address to something useful (10.1.10.29 in my case) paster serve development.ini
You should be able to browse to http://10.1.10.29:5000/ If so, congrats and now Ctl-C and install more stuff
cd .. paster create -t mapfish_client MapFishApp
cd MapFishApp paster serve --reload development.ini
So far this works SWIMMINGLY!!!
MapFish components
More learning curves thrown at you.
