Hi,
I am a newbie and have installed Mapserver 5.2.1 on OS X Server 10.5. I have been able to display maps that I exported from QGIS and though some problems are displaying the maps.
Now the next step is to get a framework around the maps and I have tried MapScript but I donĀ“t have PHP CGI on the server 
I also have tried GeoServer which I really donĀ“t understand because I have downloaded the GeoServer.app and when I run it I have no idea how to configure it since all the docs talk about using the "war" file but I canĀ“t find anything about using the GeoServer.app. I also am trying OpenLayers with a little success.
I would be glad for any tips as to where I should go from here. I have installed postgreSQL and POSTGIS and my goal is to write mapdata to postgreSQL and display maps for that source. I also want to be able to enter data into the maps i.ex. click a point in the map and enter location data for that coordinate that is written to database so it is displayed later.
I am glad for any ideas for a newbie

Hi Asle,
if you are now just playing around and testing different software, you might want to check this.
http://www.gisvm.com/
If you'll get it going, you don't have to install anything and still can fully test all kinds of GIS software.
