Welcome to MS4W, the quick and easy installer for setting up MapServer For Windows and its accompanying applications (e.g. GeoMOOSE, OpenLayers, etc.). The purpose of this package is to allow novice to advanced MapServer users to quickly install a MapServer development environment on their Windows systems. The reasons for needing to do this are diverse but, in general, this package supports: developers who want to get to a stable state quickly, trainers who need an easily-installed configuration identical across multiple installs, and novices who need help just getting all the needed bits and pieces together.
The MS4W package is designed to perform a full installation of Apache, PHP, MapServer CGI, MapScript (CSharp, Java, PHP, Python), and to provide the capability to install additional applications easily and quickly. The simplest way to do this on Windows is to provide a predetermined directory structure and force everything into that mold.
The directory structure, while fixed within itself, is designed to be somewhat portable. While the ms4w_xxx.zip file needs to be installed at the root of a hard drive, it doesn't have to be the C:/ drive. Moving the package to the root of a different drive is simple - just copy it there. To move it to a subdirectory is more difficult - you'll need to search for /ms4w in all the files and replace it with your new path.
The design also accommodates simple upgrades to the core package and to applications, without affecting the local configuration or the configuration of other installed applications.
The following are included in the base package:
Tip
If your server needs support for a specific version of PHP, Python, Apache, MapServer, GDAL, Oracle, ECW, or any of MS4W's hundreds of libraries, or a specific Windows version, or an entire MS4W package in x64 or 32bit, please contact Gateway Geomatics.

If you already have MS4W installed please do the following:
The "Apache MS4W Web Server" service is stopping. The "Apache MS4W Web Server" service has stopped. Removing the "Apache MS4W Web Server" service The "Apache MS4W Web Server" service has been removed successfully.
Please read through the following instructions before starting your installation.
To install the MS4W .zip file, use a compression program (e.g. 7zip) to extract the package at the root of a drive, e.g., drive C:/. If successful, you should have a new directory named 'ms4w' at the root of the drive you chose (e.g. C:/ms4w).
Warning
If you are using the setup.exe installer: Some applications may have a problem if you install MS4W in a path containing spaces. It is therefore not recommended to install MS4W in a path that contains spaces. It is always best to install MS4W at the root of a drive, such as C:/ or D:/
Be sure to follow the instructions in the local file /ms4w/REQUIREMENTS.txt to install the C++ Redistributable on your system before proceeding.
Start your MS4W Apache Web Server by running /ms4w/apache-install.bat (open a Command Prompt window and execute it at the command line - it is not recommended to just double-click the file). This file installs Apache as a Windows service (called "Apache Web Server") so that it starts whenever your machine is restarted. When executed, the following message should be displayed in the command window:
Installing the Apache MS4W Web Server service The Apache MS4W Web Server service is successfully installed. Testing httpd.conf.... Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started. The Apache MS4W Web Server service is starting. The Apache MS4W Web Server service was started successfully.
This means that Apache is running and installed as a service.
Note for Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista Users:
In order to run the apache-install.bat file, you must do the following:
To test that Apache is running properly, open your Web browser and find your local host Web service by entering one of the following URLs:
http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/
You should now see the main MS4W page in your Web browser. This gives you general information about your install along with configuration information. If this is your first time using MS4W it is very important that you review the listed "Features" installed within MS4W, and test them by selecting each link found on this page.
Technically, at this point, MS4W is installed! However, as you may have noticed from the MS4W main index.html page, there are no applications running. What this means is that there are no Web applications like GeoMOOSE or OpenLayers found within MS4W's Web-accessible directory, /ms4w/apps/. The MS4W-configured Web applications can be found on https://ms4w.com/release/apps/ as separate zip files.
To install these Web application into /ms4w/apps/ all that is required is to unzip the Web application compressed file at the same root directory as MS4W (e.g., C:/).
Two things should happen when uncompressing this file. First, the Web application directory should appear within /ms4w/apps/. Second, a new httpd_*.conf file should be added to /ms4w/httpd.d/httpd_*.conf. (The /httpd.d/ directory contains Apache configuration files that define which files on your computer/server are Web-accessible. For each Web application that you install, a new configuration file will be found.)
The definitions of these Web-accessible directories are called Web Aliases. In order to activate a Web Alias you must restart Apache. To test your latest installed application, go to the MS4W main index.html page (i.e., http://localhost/). In the applications section you should now find a link to the application you just installed. Select the link to the recently installed application to see if it is configured correctly. Another option is to find the Web Alias for your application and call it from your Web browser directly. For example, if you have installed the latest MS4W version of GeoMOOSE, the Web Alias is "geomoose2". To go to the GeoMOOSE index page, simply enter http://localhost/geomoose2/.
Note: Applications with configuration files (e.g., GeoMOOSE and OpenLayers) generally do not require any editing of their files in order to work. Just unzip to the appropriate driver root and restart Apache.
WARNING: It is very possible that you may wish (but not encouraged!) to run multiple versions of the same product. For example, GeoMOOSE 2.8.0 vs. GeoMOOSE 2.8.1. When installing these ms4w GeoMOOSE application packages, you will notice when unzipping GeoMOOSE that the httpd_geomoose2_ms4w.conf file found under ./ms4w/httpd.d/ will be overwritten by the GeoMOOSE you are currently installing. The reason for this is that the GeoMOOSE Alias stays the same from version to new version of GeoMOOSE. So, if you overwrite the httpd_geomoose2_ms4w.conf when unzipping and then restart Apache, you will get the latest version of GeoMOOSE that you just installed. To run both GeoMOOSE versions simply follow the instructions in Step 7.
You also can create new Web Alias(es). To configure your own personal Web Alias(es), follow the instructions in /ms4w/httpd.d/README_HTTPD.txt
Oracle Spatial support in MapServer is handled by two methods: 1) natively in MapServer, or 2) through the GDAL library.
Make sure you have Oracle 10g or 11g or 12c client software installed on your machine (the same machine that you are running MS4W on).
Warning
Since the default MS4W package is 32-bit, you must install the Oracle 32-bit client, in order to allow MapServer and its tools to communicate with Oracle (even if the Oracle server is x64). If you need a full x64 custom MS4W build please contact Gateway Geomatics.
For direct access to Oracle Spatial, replace the existing libmap.dll in /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/ with the one in the /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/ignored-libmap/oracle12/ folder.
If this is successful, executing the following at the commandline (after setting /ms4w/setenv.bat) "mapserv -v" should return a string that contains "INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL".
Note
It is possible that MapServer/Apache may have trouble locating your Oracle client dll (oci.dll). If you are having trouble connecting, try copying your oci.dll (possibly from a path such as /oracle/product/12.1.0/client/BIN) into the cgi-bin directory (/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/)
Tip
Setting the Windows environment variables ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN will help MapServer/GDAL connect to your Oracle instance.
For access to Oracle Spatial through the GDAL library, move the ogr_OCI.dll plugin file up from /ms4w/gdalplugins/ignored/oracle12/ into /ms4w/gdalplugins/
If this is successful, executing the following at the commandline (after setting /ms4w/setenv.bat) "ogrinfo --formats" should list the OCI driver.
Restart Apache to be safe.
For mapfile configuration see http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/oracle.html (note that the LAYER syntax differs depending if you use native access or through GDAL). Here are some examples:
## Connect through OGR
LAYER NAME "park-ogr" TYPE POLYGON STATUS ON CONNECTION "OCI:user/pass@SID" CONNECTIONTYPE OGR DATA "PARK" CLASS NAME "Parks" STYLE COLOR 255 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 120 120 120 END END END # Layer
Tip
In the CONNECTION parameter you can specify a different HOST or PORT with the syntax: "OCI:username/password@host:port/SID"
## Connect through MapServer's OracleSpatial type
LAYER NAME "park-native" TYPE POLYGON STATUS ON CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial CONNECTION "user/pass@SID" DATA "ORA_GEOMETRY FROM (SELECT ORA_GEOMETRY FROM PARK)" CLASS NAME "Parks" STYLE COLOR 255 255 0 OUTLINECOLOR 120 120 120 END END END # Layer
A read-only, native MapServer driver that connects to Microsoft SQL Server 2008's spatial capabilities is available in MS4W as of version 2.3.0.
The plugin exists in /ms4w/Apache/specialplugins/msplugin_mssql2008.dll
Modify your SQL Server 2008 layer in your mapfile to use the CONNECTIONTYPE PLUGIN parameter and point to the appropriate plugin using the PLUGIN parameter. Use the CONNECTION parameter to specify the required connection parameters to access SQL Server, and use the DATA parameter to specify the table that holds the spatial information:
LAYER ... CONNECTIONTYPE PLUGIN PLUGIN "C:/ms4w/Apache/specialplugins/msplugin_mssql2008.dll" CONNECTION "server=mysqlserver2008.com;uid=dbusername; pwd=dbpassword;database=Roads Database; Integrated Security=false" DATA "the_geom from roads" TYPE LINE STATUS ON CLASS ... END END
Test your layer, possibly by using the shp2img commandline utility with the '-all_debug 5' switch
The associated RFC document with the original notes on this support is RFC 38
MS4W >= 1.5.0 includes pre-built support files for CSharp, Java, PHP, and Python mapscript. In order to make use of these, however, they must be installed and configured in the appropriate locations on your system.
Obviously, in order to run Python mapscript, you need to have a python installed. The Python mapscript support files included in this distribution are built for Python 3.5.x; they will not work with 2.7 Python versions. Windows Python binaries can be obtained free of charge from ActiveState or the Python site.
See the respective sites for Python installation information.
Unpack /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/mapscript/python/mapscript*win32.zip in a safe location
In the directory structure that results from the above step, navigate to /Python-3.5.1/Lib/site-packages
Copy the 3 files into the /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin directory.
Place any python cgi scripts that you want to run under ms4w in the /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin directory, and add a "shebang" line at the top of each script. See the section on Configuring Apache to run Python scripts below for shebang-line details.
Unpack /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/mapscript/python/mapscript*win32.zip in a safe location
In the directory structure that results from the above step, navigate to /Python-3.5.1/Lib/site-packages
Copy the three files into the site-packages directory of your Python 3.5.x installation (eg., C:/Python-3.5.1/Lib/site-packages)
Add <drive_letter>:/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin to your system's PYTHONPATH environment variable.
You have a couple of options here:
This may be the preferred approach if you have multiple Python installations on your machine.
Add a "shebang line" to the top of each python cgi script in /ms4w/apache/cgi-bin. This line must be the first line in the script, and it must begin with #! followed by the path to your systems python executable. For example:
#!c:/python-3.5.1/python.exe -u
The -u option shown above causes the script to use unbuffered output, which is generally what you need in web-serving contexts.
This approach obviates the need to edit every python script in your cgi-bin directory; however, it may be problematic if you have multiple Python installations.
Add the following line to the end of ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
ScriptInterpreterSource Registry
You may also want to add these:
SetEnv PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1 PassEnv PYTHONPATH
The first of the above lines causes your python scripts to use unbuffered output (which you probably want), while the second passes the value of your system's PYTHONPATH environment variable through to Apache's environment (if set).
Follow these steps to test your Python MapScript installation:
Move the file /ms4w/gdalbindings/python/test-cgi-mapscript.py into the /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/ folder.
Open the file in a text editor.
Edit the first line of that script to point to your proper Python path.
In your web browser goto http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test-cgi-mapscript.py
The script tests that the Python CGI is working, and that the mapscript module can be successfully imported.
If successful you will see an HTML page listing several environment settings on your machine, as well a list of the Python MapScript module attributes at the bottom of the page.
Python Troubleshooting:
Python MapScript is handled through the SWIG API for MapServer: http://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript.html
See the previous section to configure GDAL for Oracle connections: Steps to Enable Oracle 10g or 11g or 12c Support in MS4W
As of MS4W 3.2.0, an old ECW version 3.3 SDK is used to read and display ECW files in MS4W. If you require more recent functionality from the newer v5+ SDK, please contact Gateway Geomatics for a custom build quote.
For access to ECW files through the GDAL library, move the gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll plugin file up from /ms4w/gdalplugins/ecw/ into /ms4w/gdalplugins/
If this is successful, executing the following at the commandline (after setting /ms4w/setenv.bat) "gdalinfo --formats" should list the "ECW" and "JP2ECW" drivers.
ECW -raster- (rw): ERDAS Compressed Wavelets (SDK 3.x) JP2ECW -raster,vector- (rw+v): ERDAS JPEG2000 (SDK 3.x)
For display in MapServer, after moving the plugin, follow the regular Raster Data document. Here is an example mapfile configuration:
LAYER NAME "ecw" TYPE RASTER STATUS ON DATA "00203065F09.ecw" CLASS NAME "ECW test" END END
MS4W contains GDAL bindings for CSharp, Java, and Python, and are located at /ms4w/gdalbindings
In order to use FastCGI you must do the following:
Open /ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor
Uncomment line#178, such as:
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
At the bottom of the file you will see a commented "<IfModule fcgid_module>" section. If you want to use FastCGI directives (listed on the mod_fcgid page) you can uncomment the section and add your directives, such as:
<IfModule fcgid_module> FcgidMinProcessesPerClass 0 FcgidIdleScanInterval 1 FcgidProcessLifeTime 10 </IfModule>
If you are connecting to an Oracle database using FastCGI, you must also add your Oracle Bin directory (where the 'oci.dll' file exists) to the PATH variable above, such as:
<IfModule fcgid_module> ... FcgidInitialEnv PATH "c:/oracle/product/10.2.0/client/BIN" ... </IfModule>
Save the file and restart apache (execute /ms4w/apache-restart.bat)
Change your CGI application to point to "/fcgi-bin/mapserv.exe" instead of the usual "/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe"
Add the following parameter to your layer for which you want this FastCGI connection:
PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"
Try the application. If successful you should see the "mapserv.exe" process in the Windows Task Manager remain open while the user interacts with your application.
Notes:
The MapCache Apache module and the mapcache_seed.exe utility (as of MS4W 3.1.0) are included. In order to use the MapCache Apache module you must do the following:
Open /ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor
Uncomment line#184, and change to your correct path, such as:
LoadModule mapcache_module "C:/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/mod_mapcache.dll"
Around line#412 of your httpd.conf file you will see a "<IfModule mapcache_module>" section. Modify the path to the included MapCache configuration (XML) file, such as:
<IfModule mapcache_module> <Directory "/ms4w/apps/mapcache/"> AllowOverride None Options None Require all granted </Directory> MapCacheAlias /mapcache "C:/ms4w/apps/mapcache/mapcache.xml" </IfModule>
Modify the mapcache.xml file. Please see the associated MapCache docs for assistance.
Save your httpd.conf file and restart apache (execute /ms4w/apache-restart.bat)
If the module was successfully loaded your /ms4w/Apache/logs/error_log.txt file should contain a message similar to:
[notice] Apache/2.4.33 (Win32) mod-mapcache/1.6.1 configured -- resuming normal operations
Test your MapCache configuration by following steps in the associated MapCache testing docs
The MapCache seeding utility is also included. To run the mapcache_seed.exe file be sure to first execute the /ms4w/setenv.bat file in your command window.
Notes:
this module was tested with the cache types: disk, sqlite, tiff, and berkeleyDB. You should follow the MapCache Cache Types docs for assistance, or contact Gateway Geomatics for assistance/custom builds/configurations.
the module was tested on Windows 10; if you are using an older version of Windows and require this module you should consider upgrading, or contact Gateway Geomatics for assistance/custom builds/configurations. .
as this module is still in development, feedback is more than encouraged, it is required. Please send your MapCache questions to the MapServer-users mailing list. You are also encouraged to contact Gateway Geomatics directly for custom builds and to help fund the development and maintenance of MS4W.
TinyOWS and demo data are included (as of MS4W 3.1.0). In order to use TinyOWS you must do the following:
Make sure that you have PostgreSQL and PostGIS installed locally, or have connection details for accessing it remotely.
First we must create a database and load some sample data:
Open /ms4w/apps/tinyows/demo/install-demo-data.bat in a text editor
If necessary, modify the PG-PORT, PG-SUPERUSER-NAME, and PG-SUPERUSER-PASSWORD for your installation (lines ~17-19). Save your changes.
Open a Command prompt window, and cd into /ms4w/ and execute setenv.bat
cd into /ms4w/apps/tinyows/demo/ and execute the following in that same window:
install-demo-data.bat
Verify that a new database was created ("tinyows"), and that there is a spatial table ("frida").
Tip
You can use QGIS to view your new "frida" PostGIS layer (through Layer/Add Layer /Add PostGIS Layers)
Next we must configure TinyOWS:
Open /ms4w/apps/tinyows/config.xml in a text editor
If necessary, modify the online_resource and pg connection parameters, for your installation. Refer to the TinyOWS documentation for parameter descriptions. Save your changes.
to test this configuration, in the same Command prompt window, execute the following (change the drive path if necessary):
set TINYOWS_CONFIG_FILE=C:/ms4w/apps/tinyows/config.xml
once that is set, execute the following in the same Command prompt window to see details about your TinyOWS configuration:
tinyows.exe --check
the response should be something like:
TinyOWS version: 1.1.0 FCGI support: Yes Config File Path: C:/ms4w/apps/tinyows/config.xml (TinyOWS XML) PostGIS Version: 2.4.3 PostGIS dsn: host=localhost user=postgres password=postgres dbname=tinyows port=5432 Output Encoding: UTF-8 Database Encoding: UTF8 Schema dir: /ms4w/apps/tinyows/schema/ Display bbox: Yes Estimated extent: No Check schema: Yes Check valid geoms: Yes Available layers: public.frida (31467) -> tows:frida [RW]
Note that Apache sets this same environment variable TINYOWS_CONFIG_FILE in the file /ms4w/httpd.d/httpd_tinyows.conf
Next we should configure the demo HTML application:
Finally we are ready to test a WFS-T transaction to your database:
in a Web browser, goto http://127.0.0.1/tinyows/demo/tinyows.html (or modify that address if need be)
click on the "Draw Feature" icon on the top-right of the map, and click anywhere on the map to generate a polygon (to close the polygon double-click).
now click on the "Save Changes" icon, you should see a message in the right panel of that page as:
Transaction successfully completed
Changes to the "frida" layer should be saved to the database.
The H264 Streaming Module is included for Apache (as of MS4W 3.1.0). One of the features of this module is enabling your viewers to immediately jump to any part of the video regardless of the length of the video or whether it has all been downloaded yet. In order to use the H264 Streaming Module you must do the following:
Open /ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor
Uncomment line#183, such as:
LoadModule h264_streaming_module modules/mod_h264_streaming.so
Around line#608 of your httpd.conf file you will see a "<IfModule h264_streaming_module>" section. You can leave this section as-is (no changes are needed):
<IfModule h264_streaming_module> AddHandler h264-streaming.extensions .mp4 </IfModule>
Save your httpd.conf file and restart Apache (execute /ms4w/apache-restart.bat)
To test that Apache has loaded the module, at your Command prompt, cd into the /ms4w/Apache/bin/ directory. Then execute the following:
httpd -t -D DUMP_MODULES
You should see a list of loaded modules, and the H264 Streaming Module should be listed near the end, such as:
log_config_module (shared) mime_module (shared) negotiation_module (shared) setenvif_module (shared) h264_streaming_module (shared)
To test the module on an actual video file:
Download this mp4 file locally (right-click and Save Link As): https://gatewaygeomatics.com/dl/mapserver-6-0-visualization.mp4
Copy the file into the folder /ms4w/Apache/htdocs/
Open a Command prompt window, and cd into /ms4w/ and execute setenv.bat
Execute the following command in that same window:
wget -S -O mapserver-6-0-visualization.mp4 "http://127.0.0.1/mapserver-6-0-visualization.mp4?start=0&end=5"
You should see a response as follows (notice the mention of the "X-Mod-H264-Streaming" and also that the size of the video is very small (click on the saved file now in /ms4w/mapserver-6-0-visualization.mp4 and view it, only the first 5 seconds of the video should be loaded):
1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2 Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 15:10:31 GMT 3 Server: Apache/2.4.27 (Win32) mod_fcgid/2.3.9 4 X-Mod-H264-Streaming: version=2.2.7 5 Content-Length: 574375 6 Last-Modified: Thu, 03 Dec 2015 02:15:30 GMT 7 ETag: "451ed18-525f4f7037480;574375" 8 Accept-Ranges: bytes 9 Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 10 Connection: Keep-Alive 11 Content-Type: video/mp4 100%[====================================>] 574,375 547.77M/s ETA 00:00
Now test the module in your Web browser, by going to: http://127.0.0.1/mapserver-6-0-visualization.mp4?start=0&end=5

As of MapServer 5.4.1, MapServer can connect through HTTPS connections to WMS/WFS servers. MS4W 3.0 includes the necessary configuration as follows:
Certificate authority bundle is included in /ms4w/Apache/conf/ca-bundle/cacert.pem
Apache's httpd.conf points to the ca-bundle:
SetEnv CURL_CA_BUNDLE "/ms4w/Apache/conf/ca-bundle/cacert.pem"
MS4W's setenv.bat points to the ca-bundle:
set CURL_CA_BUNDLE=\ms4w\Apache\conf\ca-bundle\cacert.pem
For more information on SSL certificates, see: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
To setup MapServer as a client to access a remote WMS/WFS server through HTTPS see: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/3070
As described earlier, MS4W is designed so you can easily include your application's Apache settings in the /ms4w/httpd.d/ folder (see the README_HTTPD.txt inside that folder for more information). The following examples will use the existing MS4W "MapServer CGI Viewer" application; the CGI viewer's Apache settings are stored in the file "httpd_cgi_viewer.conf" inside the /ms4w/httpd.d/ folder. The contents of the file is:
Alias /cgi/ "/ms4w/apps/cgi-viewer/htdocs/" <Directory "/ms4w/apps/cgi-viewer/htdocs/"> AllowOverride None Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Note
If you would prefer to make your application changes directly in the /ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file you can, or also include them in an .htaccess file inside your application's folder.
Let's say one of the filenames has changed (from "viewer-index.html" to "ttt.html"), but we want to make sure the old url works. MS4W loads the mod_rewrite module by default (more about mod_rewrite: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/), so we can add a few lines into our "httpd_cgi_viewer.conf" to call this rewrite, such as:
Alias /cgi/ "/ms4w/apps/cgi-viewer/htdocs/" <Directory "/ms4w/apps/cgi-viewer/htdocs/"> AllowOverride None Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine On RewriteBase "/cgi/" RewriteRule "^viewer-index.html$" "ttt.html" </Directory>
We can alternatively use the Redirect directive through the mod_alias module, which is loaded by MS4W by default (read more about mod_alias at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html) such as:
Alias /cgi/ "/ms4w/apps/cgi-viewer/htdocs/" <Directory "/ms4w/apps/cgi-viewer/htdocs/"> AllowOverride None Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Redirect 301 "/cgi/viewer-index.html" "/cgi/ttt.html"
Tip
Be sure to always restart the Apache service after any changes made to conf files (execute apache-restart.bat at the commandline, after executing setenv.bat in the same window)
Note
Python 3.5 is required for the Python GDAL module in MS4W, and you must have C:/python-3.5.x in your PATH to use the utilities.
The Python GDAL module and its utilities are installed in /ms4w/gdalbindings/python/gdal/. To run the utilities:
gdal_merge.py
gdal_merge.py notes:
Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library '/ms4w/Apache/php/extensions/php_mapscript.dll'
Verify that the dll in question exists in the specified location (/ms4w/Apache/php/extensions/). If this dll is not in that location, you might have to modify the application to point to a different version of the dll (e.g. you might have php_mapscript.dll in the extensions directory, and your application might be configured for php_mapscript_48.dll which is not in the extensions directory).
This php_mapscript dll requires several other dlls, and the problem may be that one is missing on your system. In order to hopefully get more information on what dll is missing, go to a command prompt, and do the following:
cd ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin php C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/phpinfo_mapscript.php
A windows error window should open with a message like:
The dynamic link library ***** could not be found in the specified path...
Locate this missing dll and copy it either to /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/ or your system32 folder.
If you are still unsure what dll is causing this unable to load dynamic library error, a useful utility to find what associated dlls are missing on your system is Dependency Walker. Download the utility, execute the exe, and open your php_mapscript dll.
The Program can't start because MSVCRxxx.dll is missing from your computer
Please follow the instructions included locally inside the document /ms4w/REQUIREMENTS.txt to install the C++ Redistributable.
Clicking on apache-install.bat flashes a DOS window and does not install the service
To see the exact error message, open a Command window, and execute the 'apache-install.bat' file from a DOS prompt.
cd ms4w apache-install.bat
Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down
Apache with MS4W is configured to use port 80. Your system might be already using this port (IIS could cause this for example). If you want to change the port that Apache uses modify the following file:
/ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf line 120: Listen 80
TCPView is an example of shareware that lets you see how the ports on your machine are being used.
The procedure entry point xxxx could not be located in the dynamic link library xxx.dll
Make sure that MapServer (or the utility that you are trying to use) is actually using the 'xxx.dll' file that is part of the MS4W package. You could be experiencing 'dll hell' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_hell) where MS4W is actually finding an older dll on your system. Try renaming the other dll(s) of the same name, keeping the one in MS4W as is, and retrying your application/command.
Other Problems...
Do the following steps in a text editor:
Recommendation: avoid installing MS4W in a path that contains spaces
The following instructions will help non-MS4W users who want to only use the MapServer binaries included in MS4W:
Custom EPSG projections can be added to the bottom of your epsg file at /ms4w/proj/nad/epsg/.
As of MS4W 3.0-beta11, previously included custom projections for Canada have been removed. Here is some of the history:
For reference, here are the old custom Canadian EPSG codes:
## ## Custom projection codes for Canada ## ## WGS84 / LCC Canada <42101> +proj=lcc +ellps=WGS84 +lat_0=0 +lon_0=-95 +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77 +x_0=0 +y_0=-8000000.0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m no_defs <> ## NAD83 / BC Albers <42102> +proj=aea +ellps=GRS80 +lat_0=45 +lon_0=-126.0 +lat_1=50.0 +lat_2=58.5 +x_0=1000000.0 +y_0=0 +datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <> # ## NAD83 LCC for Canada <42304> +proj=lcc +ellps=GRS80 +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-95 +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77 +datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <> ##
The following section explains how to add password authentication to your MS4W application. However there are many other possible settings in Apache for this, so please consult the Apache HTTP Server documentation.
Here are the minimal steps for password protection:
Modify your application's httpd_xxx.conf file, so that "AllowOverride None" is replaced with "AllowOverride AuthConfig", such as:
Alias /gmap/ "/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/" <Directory "/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Create a password file.
open a DOS command window, and go to Apache's bin directory
enter the following (replace "jeff" with the username you want to create, press ENTER and you will be prompted for a password to create):
C:/ms4w/Apache/bin> htpasswd -c htpasswd.txt jeff
Create the htaccess file.
create a file in your application directory (/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/ in this example) named '.htaccess'
the file should contain (you can modify it however you wish though):
AuthType Basic AuthUserFile C:/ms4w/Apache/bin/htpasswd.txt AuthName "Password Required" require valid-user
Restart Apache
Access your application in a web browser.
Troubleshooting:
some Windows versions may have difficulty with the '.htaccess' filename, so you might try naming it something else, but you would have to modify Apache's httpd.conf file (/ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf) and add your filename, such as:
AccessFileName .htaccess yourfilename
'htaccess.acl' is recommended, such as:
AccessFileName .htaccess htaccess.acl
for more information please see the Apache documentation
