    Installation of an IMS Viewer

    I am hosting my domain using a LAMP server (7.10) and would like to install the equivalent of an ArcIMS viewer to 'stream' spatial data. Has anyone in the community installed such a system and what open-source software is available?

    You may check here:

    Most common solution these days seems to be Mapserver+Openlayers.

    Or http://featureserver.org/
    Thanks to all who help me out and the developpers!

    Friendly greetings... CU

    Yep MapServer.... any OGC WMS / WFS compliant service should do though.

    Interestingly someone tried to build a WMS service on the QGIS libraries:
    http://www.foss4g2006.org/contributi...Id=41&confId=1
    Don't know what happened to it though.

    It would also be possible to build something on GRASS (although it would probably be a pain in ****).

    Never installed MapServer - all ESRI shop at work unfortunately.

    Good luck - I'll visit your website to check up!

    Yes, ESRI at my shop too. I keep threatening to install a dual boot on my work computer, but the IT guys just scowl. Thanks all for the suggestions.
