Installing MapGuide Fusion
NOTE: It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you install MapGuide Fusion inside the WebServerExtensions/www directory of your MGOS/E installation.

NOTE: MapGuide Fusion must be installed on the same server as your MGOS/E Web Server Extensions because it uses the API included with the Web Server Extensions.

To install Fusion, extract the MapGuide Fusion source code from the distribution package that you chose (either a tar.gz or a zip file). By default, MapGuide Fusion is configured to be installed into the 'www' directory of your WebServerExtensions installation. You may install MapGuide Fusion into a different location, as long as you follow the Configuring MapGuide Fusion steps below, and you really, really know what you are doing. Seriously. If you don't have a good reason for installing to a different location, don't do it.

Configuring MapGuide Fusion
If you installed MapGuide Fusion into the WebServerExtensions/www directory, and your WebServerExtensions is installed in C:\Program Files, Fusion is ready to go.

If the Web Server Extensions are installed elsewhere, you must now change the default values in the following file:

fusion/mapguide/php/Common.php
At the beginning of this file (after the first comment block) are two lines as follows:

$defaultInstallDir = "C:/Program Files/MapGuideOpenSource/";
$defaultExtensionDir = $installDir . "WebServerExtensions/www/";
Modify these lines to point to your actual installation path.

If Fusion is not installed inside the WebServerExtensions/www directory, you must configure your web server to provide web access to MapGuide Fusion.

Doing this is dependent on the actual web server you have installed. As a minimum, you will need to set up an alias (Apache) or virtual directory (IIS) to the fusion directory and configure it to allow execution of PHP scripts inside fusion and make the PHP API extensions of MapGuide available as well.

If you do not know how to configure your web server to do this, please move the fusion directory to the WebServerExtensions/www directory.
