====== MapServer ======

  * {{/files/software/unixport/MapServer-5.2.0-1.dmg|MapServer 5.2.0-1}} (framework) [9.4 MB] for Tiger and Leopard.
  * {{/files/macosxport/mapserv-fw_build_script.zip|Build script}} for framework version.

Mapserv CGI, PHP-MapScript and Python MapScript are included. PHP-MapScript is for PHP CGI-only for now.  Of course, PHP-MapScript needs [[php|PHP]], but the CGI mapserv will run without PHP.  Python MapScript requires the [[http://www.python.org/|Python 2.5]] package on Tiger (Python 2.5 is included in Leopard). MapServer requires the **UnixImageIO**, **FreeType**, **GEOS 3**, **PROJ** and **GDAL** [[frameworks|frameworks]].  PDF support is currently in limbo, and will hopefully return soon.

For testing MapServer, look at the demos and tutorials on the [[http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/|MapServer website]].

Included also are simple (and a bit old) drag-n-drop GUIs for the shptree, tile4ms and sortshp tools. The other tools you will have to use from the terminal.

===== 5.0.3-1 Cleanup =====

I didn't catch a bug in Apple's beta PackageMaker soon enough, and __MapServer 5.0.3-1__ will install everything directly in your HD root.  You only need to do this if you installed 5.0.3-1.  There are two steps to clean this up:

__**1:** Trash the files.__  Most of them are obvious, as they have %%'%%''mapserv''' or %%'%%''mapscript''' in their name.  The framework files are probably loose, these are:

  * MapServer [an alias]
  * Programs [an alias]
  * Resources [an alias]
  * Versions [a folder]

__**2:** Repair Permissions.__  The installer may have left the root with the wrong permissions.  Run **Disk Utility**, and select your boot HD.  From the __First Aid__ tab, click the **Repair Disk Permissions** button.

Sorry for the mess.

===== Panther =====

For an up-to-date MapServer that runs on Panther, see the [[macosx:build:mapserver|build instructions]] to compile from source.
