[Pywps-devel] PyWPS on WindowsXP

[Jachym Cepicky]

Hi,

AFAIK there are note many users of PyWPS on Windows. I managed to setup
PyWPS on Winwdows once (befere 3.1.0 should work). There is special
pythonoish cgi-bin wrapper script in doc/examples, which can be used in
/cgi-bin/ directory of the server, then you should be able to install
pywps anywhere in the system.

You also need htmltmpl package

NOTE: Because of there is no support for fork on Windows and similar
functionality would have to be implemented via subsystem module with
little bit different logic, currently, only synchronous processes can be
run (status will always be false).

So, the general installation procedure is similar to unix (linux)
systems.

1) Install apache
2) install python
3) install htmltmpl package
4) download and install pywps
6) prepare your processes directory (at least one file __init__.py wiht "__all__  = []" in it)
5) setup the cgi-bin wrapper script
6) try getcapabilities - it should work

jachym

P.S. I expected some problems you will have to face, just drop and
message to this list - it would be nice to prepare some tutorial at the
end.
