MapServer: Make a video tutorial on how to install MS4W on Windows
1.Make a short video (2 minutes or more) on how to download and install MS4W (MapServer for Windows) on a Windows machine, and upload it to Youtube.
- MS4W homepage: http://ms4w.com
- Use the *setup.exe installer
- During the install be sure to also download one of GeoMOOSE or Mapbender packages
- Install at the root of your drive (e.g. C:/ or D:/)
- After installing, click on the shortcut on your desktop named "MS4W-Localhost" (which should open your browser to the MS4W local page)
- At bottom of that page, click on one of the GeoMOOSE or Mapbender demo links and show a map in your browser
- Also, click on the shortcut on your desktop named "MS4W-Shell", and execute the following inside that shell window:
- mapserv -v
- (this shows how to execute MapServer at the commandline)
- mapserv -v
- upload the video to Youtube
- in the video properties on Youtube, set the license to "Creative Commons"
- You are not required to talk in the video, if you don't want to; but you should at least have text inside the video for the major steps
2.Please also add your video on the MapServer wiki at: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-Google-Code-In-2018#ms4w-video
3.Please subscribe to the MS4W mailing list (subscribe at http://lists.ms4w.com/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users) and send an email there to share your video to the MS4W community. Thank you! :)
