Mapserver的安装介质可从 http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu下载
安装也非常简单，选择何时的服务http端口就可以了，这里我选择了8080
下载ms4w 5.0的App数据 workshop-5.0.zip
将其简单解压缩到 $apache/htdocs下即可；创建$(apache)/tmp目录
修改worksop-5.0/index.html文件，将其中 IMAGEPATH,IMAGEURL 修改为workship-5.0的路径即可
// EDIT THE NEXT 2 LINES TO MATCH YOUR SETUP
var snippet = "IMAGEPATH 'C:/gis/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/tmp/'";
snippet += " IMAGEURL '/tmp/'";
<!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->
<input type="hidden" name="map" value="C:\gis\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\workshop-5.0\itasca.map">
<input type="hidden" name="program" value="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">
<input type="hidden" name="root" value="/workshop-5.0">
来测试一下 http://127.0.0.1/workshop-5.0,即可看到itasca.map了
好好研究一把mapserver,配置好wms/wfs server 看看用openlayers/Qgis的效果
