MapServer is for building Web-based GIS applications. It runs as
You can combine it with other components to enhance its functionality. This page documents my set up at http://mapserver.seafloor.org/
Components
Web application API
Apache Web server 2.0.51 PHP 4.3.4
(Newer versions are available for both Apache and PHP but these work for me.)
Projections
Raster support
GDAL 1.2.3
GDAL is the "Geospatial Data Abstraction Library".
GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats.
I built it with './configure; make'.
Vector support
OGR The OGR library is a subcomponent of GDAL so you don't need to worry about it if you install GDAL. The OGR Simple Features Library allows MapServer users to display several types of vector data files in their native formats. For example, MapInfo Mid/Mif and TAB data do not need to be converted to ESRI shapefiles when using OGR support with MapServer.
PostGIS
PostgreSQL 7.4.5-2 installed from RPMs for RH-9
