I don't know of the DSO status (can someone else please answer?).
I followed the Verbose Linux Installation tutorial <http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/verboselinuxinstall> on the mapserver site to get PHP5 running as a DSO under Apache2. It works.. sort of. Under very light concurrent use, it would sporadically fail; usually refreshing the page in the browser 'fixed' it. And when I installed ka-map, it would drop tiles seemingly randomly (see attached screenshot). This lead me to believe that, as of release 4.8.3, running Mapscript under PHP5 as an Apache2 DSO is not stable for production use. Like most folks, I didn't have the time to debug this... I have reverted back to a PHP4-CGI/Apache2 setup with zero problems. -- Matt Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.perrygeo.net
