Having been a former GIS admin for the State of Illinois and users of
ESRI products I have to say I am impressed with Map Server. So this is
freeware?....What do you need to get it up and running in terms of other
software....Apache?....someone said Chameleon?....this is new territory
for me and frankly I am glad to see there are some serious rivals. ESRI
once used unix as it development platform...which i used for 20+
years...but when they went to Microsoft the GUI and the underlying OS,
especially in a networked environment with SDE was sluggish at best.
Yes it is easier to set up out of the box but most of us who are in
charge of getting all this stuff to work shouldnt think working with Map
Server as a daunting task.
Can someone shed light on download sites...other piecies I need and what
spatial format will this server accept?...ESRI shape...coverages...sde
layers...DOQ...DEMS and other rasters?
I am now retired and do not have the budget I once enjoyed so I am
looking for Open Source solutions.
thks...by the way the dm site in canada is nice....very nice. :-)
regards,
