This exercise uses some of the data collected by Christy Niemann
for her GEOM 4009 project, in a much simpler form, to help us
practice building up a Mapserver service.

Do the following to set up your own instance of this mapping
service, and begin exploring:

- obtain ottawamap.zip from cuLearn
- using FileZilla (or Putty), login to dges.carleton.ca, and
  create a subdirectory called ottMap underneath
  /var/www/courses/GEOM4008/Student/XXXXXXX
  (where XXXXXX is your login name)
- transfer ottawamap.zip to that directory and unzip it
  (use Putty at the prompt, cd to the directory and  
   enter: unzip ottawamap.zip )
- on your client computer, in a web browswer, go to the URL
  (all one line):
  http://dges.carleton.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv?
  map=/courses/GEOM4008/Student/XXXXXXX/map/ottawa.map&mode=map
- take a look at the mapfile ottawa.map (we'll discuss)
- compare to http://mapserver.org/documentation.html#mapfile
- try adding &layer=dem to the end of the URL in your browser
   - what does that do, and why?
- try editing the extents shown in the map by editing
  ottMap/map/templates/template.ref 
- check that you are serving out WMS content with (all one line):
  http://dges.carleton.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv?
  map=/var/www/courses/GEOM4008/Student/XXX/ottMap/map/ottawa.map
  &request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS
- check that you are serving out WFS content with (same as above,
  but change the last few characters to WFS)
- check that you can access WMS/WFS data with a mapping client, 
  such as qgis or udig
