Rainer, sorry for the late reply. On 02/11/2013 02:27 PM, Rainer Lissewski wrote: > Hi ist there a how-to explaining the installation of dcmms with php5 ? Right now I'm not aware of any active DCMMS development. But the chances are good that the development will be revived in the first half of 2012 - PHP 5 compatibility issues will also be addressed then. I don't work at DC any more, please don't consider this an official statement from the DCMMS "owner". In order to direct resources in the right direction: What would be your preferred server OS to run DCMMS? Regards, Steffen |

Dear Maher, thanks for the update! This is the first version in the 2.0 series that actually installed on my test system and allowed me to log in :-) I think that the administration guide is still more confusing than helpful. I would make no promises to somebody who would like to install the application using this document. But maybe it's time that some adventurous (Hakim,Armand?) give it a try. Tip for testers: Use a virtual machine with a clean OS install. This will prevent typcial "over-installation" problems. Plus the application does not seem to work with the latest DCMMS sample installer: No sample data is available. I've entered/updated various bug reports. Regards, Steffen |

Dear All, Please be informed that DCMMS 2.0.4 has been released. The software can be downloaded from the sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=76364&package_id=76989&release_id=666810 You are kindly requested to test, and comment. On windows Vista, restarting the machine is required Regards Maher |

Hi, > Please note that I have released the DCMMS 2.0.3 release considering the > notes from Steffen. I've tested once again. The critical bug #2593566 is not fixed. This bug should prevent everyone who is not a PHP programmer from installing the application. This was my first test on Vista - I found two more bugs which I would rate critical (Missed Aapche restart, broken start menu entry). Details as usual in the trackers. > I am trying to tag the new release, but I am failing, I tried it from Syria, > and from Amman. If you can do it it will be good help I've tagged 2.0.3 now. Tagging should be less of a problem than e.g. committing files. There are different ways of tagging, maybe you could describe how you are trying to tag? Regards, Steffen |

Dear Armand, I'm not the DCMMS maintainer any more. I suggest that you direct such feedback to the dcmms-info mailing list. This is why I'm forwarding your mail. Regards, Steffen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Armand CAPO-CHICHI Date: Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 9:02 AM Subject: Hi Steffen To: Steffen Macke <sdt...@gm...> Hi Steffen I installed now the dcmms 1.1.2 on Windows vista and it work well. You know I had always kept the version 1.1.1 because I am afraid of the complications. For the new version 2.0.0 and PostgreSQL 8.3 .6 I prefer to wait for a same manual of installation like the one we have of the dcmms 1.1.1 Thank you very much for all Armand CAPO-CHICHI |

Dear Steffen, >>still not successful, because critical include files are missing.

Most important update should be in the mapping part, I am thinking to have it under the openlayer interface or if there is something better. I am still testing the openlayer, but it is really difficult as the documentation, and the web sources are very limited.

Dear All, I have updated the installer in the internet taking Steffen's remarks in my consideration. A new file dcmms-2.0.0-2.exe is available, and can be downloaded and tested. Your feed back is welcomed. PLEASE DO NOT USE REPLY-TO-ALL Regards Maher |

Dear Steffen, Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I have took your remarks in my consideration, and already applied it (may be still some thing needs to be done). I have already updated the release with a new dcmms-2.0.0-2 installer. This release has the following: This installer is tested fully, and working. The sample installer is working also. Semi updated administration guide (it includes installation instruction for MS4W., still missing the screen shots) >>Is it too much to ask for a concrete reply to my recommendation of the >>pgInstaller?

I had a look myself: MD5 and >>size of the libarabic.dll It is included now. Dear Steffen, Please note that I am trying to have this release as quick as possible, but at the same time I do not have any help, and I was working on it out of the working hours, in order to break the freeze of the DCMMS releases.

Dear Steffen,
Thank you for the early feed back.
First of all, Please when you reply back to me, reply for the dcmms-info
list or the direct users, in order to avoid entering my management on email
loops
which they do not like, unless if someone wants to be in it.
Our colleagus names were added in order to be informed that there is a new
release, but they do not want to receive emails which they are not
interested in, they want only to have the service provided by the technical
people.
>>First of all the administration guide does not contain any
>>instructions for the new MS4W-based
I will check it, and update it.
Please note that I am doing this in parallel with many other tasks, so this
why I am asking for the testing, because I may make alternative during
installation which could be not part of the standard installation
>>I've reported my problem with the PostgreSQL 8.3.6 one-click-installer
>>that you recommend yesterday. I encountered the same problem in a test
I have tested the recommended software, and every thing is working, but it
still needs more testing as I have already indicated.
>>Is the sample data installer compatible with the 2.0.0 release?
I did not test it.
>>I think that most users will prefer the MS4W installer over the
>>zipfile distribution. Is there a reason why you recommend the zipfile?
>>Previously
If you are following the commits to the installer script you will find that
it is One Installer for all, no need to download any thing, the executable
resulting from this file will be very big, and I have checked other site
offering MS4W based installers, and they are using it like this e.g.
openlayers.
The One package installer will be available on the CD which I have already
created, and will be used for our standard installations

I have recommended the PostGIS installer instead of the PostgreSQL stack
builder , as the stack builder needs an internet connection which we can
not guarantee for the users, and the person who knows how to use the stack
builder will be for sure able to manage him self, we are more concentrated
about unexperienced future users.

Yes, it is included.

Dear Maher,
this is good news!

Was anybody able to install the new version?
I've tried my best, but so far, I wasn't successful.
First of all the administration guide does not contain any
instructions for the new MS4W-based
installation:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2590050&group_id=76364&atid=546880
I've reported my problem with the PostgreSQL 8.3.6 one-click-installer
that you recommend yesterday. I encountered the same problem in a test
on Windows 2000. I can only recommend the pgInstaller version! Another
benefit: The pgInstaller is 10 MB smaller and is is the "traditional"
method used before. You'll have to do less new screenshots for the
documentation.
Using the installer, the database creation fails for me on Windows XP
and Windows 2000
using PostgreSQl 8.3.6:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2590035&group_id=76364&atid=546880
Is the sample data installer compatible with the 2.0.0 release?
> MS4W from http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_2.3.1.zip
I think that most users will prefer the MS4W installer over the
zipfile distribution. Is there a reason why you recommend the zipfile?
Previously, we've always tried to make the whole DCMMS installation
process installer-based. Do you recommend zip files and commandline
installations now?

If users decide to use an older release even if you recommend them to use the latest one, there might be something broken.

So for DCMMS 1.1.1 on Windows Vista you recommend to use PostGIS 1.3.5 which can be installed using Stack Builder. By the way, do you recommend to use the One-click-installer or the pgInstaller version of PostgreSQL 8.3.6? On Windows XP Home, I couldn't get the Service started using the One-click-installer. The pgInstaller installation worked, but the DCMMS 1.1.2 installer stops after creating the database with empty log files. My first workaround was to simply start the installer again and skip the "Create database" step. However, this didn't work, because this will lead to a database without PostGIS loaded. The following worked: Create the database using pgAdmin using UTF8 and template_postgis as the database template. What is the recommended PHP version to use with DCMMS 1.1? Regards, Steffen |

Hi,
>>Why DCMMS 1.1.1 and not 1.1.2?
We are not talking here about DCMMS version, we are talking about the
PostgreSQL installation.
The user knows that there is a DCMMS 1.1.2 version, but he is still using
1.1.1, He should decide! we are only recommending him to use the latest
version.
>>Is DCMMS 1.* really compatible with PostgreSQL 8.3.6? Which is the
>>Which is the recommended PostGIS version to use in that case?
We are using PostgreSQL as spatial database container, and the ready
installed postgis will work for us.
The exception we face is the postArabic version used with 1.1.1 will not
work with the 8.3.x, but downloading the latest version
from the internet will solve the problem
Dear Steffen,
We are trying to answer the question(s) not to enter in a loop of
discussions and recommendations which can be done out of the scope of

Some questions:
Why DCMMS 1.1.1 and not 1.1.2?
Is DCMMS 1.* really compatible with PostgreSQL 8.3.6? Which is the
