= Configure Web Servers to run MapGuide Web Applications on Windows =

this document is written with windows 7 as the testing platform, the process may be slightly different under windows xp. Web applications are refered in mapguide project as web extensions, but they are really the same things. 

Under windows, you have the options to deploy mapguide web application to either Apache, or Tomcat, or IIS 

== Apache2 ==
1. Download and Install Apache2.2.16 for Windows from [http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ Here]. Unzip the downloaded file to anywhere, in this document, we unzip it to c:\Apache2

Apache is also available under svn/mgdev/Oem/LinuxApt, which can be copy and pasted to anywhere.  apache.org does not submit any build for 64-bit machines, try [http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/binaries this site] to obtain a binary 64-bit build.

2. add the following lines to httpd.conf
{{{ 
LoadModule mod_mgmapagent modules/mod_mgmapagent.so
include conf/mapguide.conf
}}}

3. Create another config file, name it ''mapguide.conf'' with the following contents(change the path accordingly for your system)
{{{
Alias /mapguide "c:/mapguideopensource-2.2-beta1/Web/www"
<Directory "c:/mapguideopensource-2.2-beta1/Web/www">
  AllowOverride All
  Options All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  AddHandler php5-script .php
  AddHandler mgmapagent_handler fcgi
  RewriteEngine on
