MapFishSample is a MapFish application. The goal of this sample application is twofold:

• provide a demo on http://demo.mapfish.org
• provide some sample code for application developers

MapFishSample is built and deployed using zc.buildout (http://www.buildout.org/).

For now the only way to install MapFishSample is from its sources (MapFishSample isn't distributed on http://pypi.python.org).

Get the sources: $ svn co http://svn.mapfish.org/svn/mapfish/sample/trunk/ MapFishSample

Build the buildout environment:

$ cd MapFishSample
$ python bootstrap.py --distribute --version 1.5.2

Build and deploy the application: $ buildout/bin/buildout -c buildout_dev.cfg

When buildout_dev.cfg is used on the buildout command line the application will use http://demo.mapfish.org/mapfishsample/2.0/mapserv as the WMS URL. To use a local mapserv use buildout_main.cfg. The latter is what we use when deploying MapFishSample on demo.mapfish.org.

To run MapFishSample in the Paste HTTP Server use this:

$ buildout/bin/paster serve --reload development.ini

To run MapFishSample in Apache mod_wsgi look at the apache/README.txt file.
