yap, you need some modification

1. after installing Mapguide, restart and see in windows service, and make sure that service "MapGuide Server" running, some people experience in delayed start service, that result in service not autostart, you need to reinstall Mapguide or set the setting service delay little bit longer

2. Install Apache2 server as a service, you need to do it manually

a. open CMD

b. go to Apache2 installation dir, usually at "C:\Program Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\Apache2\bin"

c. type :

httpd -k install -n "Apache MapGuide Web Server"

and press enter, this will install Apache as a service

d. type :

net start "Apache MapGuide Web Server"

and press enter, this will start the service

or simply make BAT file with script inside it :

@ECHO OFF

REM This installs and starts the apache service

cd Apache2\bin

httpd -k install -n "Apache MapGuide Web Server"

net start "Apache MapGuide Web Server"

cd ..\..

place at C:\Program Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web (default windows installation, you may change it based on your instalation)

and double click that BAT file

When 2 Service are Started, you can access Mapguide via this links

http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php

login with Administrator and password admin (remember, this is case sensitive, use A not a)

oh yeah after setting and installing Apache as a service, you can then manage it via Apache Monitor in C:\Program Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\Apache2\bin\ApacheMonitor.exe (make it a shortcut in Dekstop to make it easier to access)

Note :

1. you can manage data for Mapguide with external program, MapGuide Maestro , download here :

2. This setting I explain before is ONLY for Apache, if you use IIS, you need different setting

After restart your PC and you CAN'T run mapGuide although you already run Mapguide apache server, then the Mapguide server fail to start (remember to run Mapguide you need 2 service, Apache which can control via Apache monitor and Mapguide Server which should start automatically)

you can check in Control Panel>Administrative tools>Service

check on MapGuideServer Service, if this service didn't start then you need to do this action :

1. Download NET Framework 1.1 at here :

then install it, after that

2. Download NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 at here :

and install it

3. Restart your PC, then your MapguideServer will start automatically
