Upgrading MS4W
Here’s a quick overview of how I upgraded my custom MS4W binded with ColdFusion..
1. Extract the new ms4w_new.zip to E:\ms4w_new
2. diff E:\ms4w_new\Apache\conf\httpd.conf E:\ms4w\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
If the changes is minimal, then proceed.
3. Uninstall ColdFusion connector from Apache.
D:\CFusionMX\bin\connectors\Remove_ALL_connectors.bat
4. Uninstall Apache from services.msc. Run
E:\ms4w\apache-uninstall.bat
5. Move
mv E:\ms4w E:\ms4w_old
mv E:\ms4w_new E:\ms4w
6. Install Apache as a windows services to services.msc
E:\ms4w\apache-install.bat
7. Bind ColdFusion again to Apache
D:\CFusionMX\bin\connectors\Apache_connector.bat

Installing Chinese Font for Mapserver
about 2 years ago - No comments
We wanted to use a different font for mapserver which is Microsoft Yahei instead of zysong. Apparently, mapserver have some issues with path problems or with the ttf having more than one word as a font name. Thanks to Martin Hosken’s perl modules for fonts, we were able to rename the Microsoft Yahei TTF to

Installing Mapserver on Debian (reprise)
about 2 years ago - No comments
As noted from my previous blog post regarding Mapserver on Debian, you don’t get AGG with Mapserver when installing directly from Debian packages. Thus, it would be better to install Mapserver by source. However, debian still helps because it would install all the necessary libraries needed for compiling mapserver. ./configure \ –with-agg \ –with-jpeg \

I can now play with different debugging modes as described from RFC28. Here is a simple output of my error.log with a DEBUG 2
