Thanks Brian,

Firebug is helping me figure things out.

First I had issues with the symbolset and fonts paths, and once that
was sorted, I came to 2 errors that I think are being generated by
GeoMOOSE when it creates the URLs to send to Mapserver. I'm sure I
probably missed something in setup that is causing the problem.

 If anyone has any idea about either of these problems I would be most
grateful for the hints...

--------------------------------

here is an example of the first error with a regular, local, non-WMS layer:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/geomoose/maps_mydemo/./parks/parks_8bit.map&mapext=-834744.6077081193%20655019.564290853%201608541.8577081193%201224697.755709147&mapsize=965%20225&mode=map&layers=&MOOSETIME=1231371797094

the problem looks like the name of the layer is not being inserted
after "&layers=" .... knowing where to specify this in my GeoMOOSE
setup will help alot, as this is happening for all my local layers. If
it helps, here is the relevant mapfile layer:

LAYER
  NAME  State_Park
  STATUS ON
  TYPE  POLYGON
  LABELITEM "Name"
  DATA "C:/mydata/parks_w_linebreaks.shp"
CLASS
 NAME 'National, State or Local Park'
  STYLE
   COLOR  168 203 150
  END
    label
      type truetype
      antialias true
      font tuffy_bold
      size 7
      position cc
      color 35 73 27
      outlinecolor 255 255 255
      buffer 5
      partials false
      minfeaturesize 100
      wrap "*"
      end
 END
END

---------------------------------------------

I have a second, different problem with the one WMS layer I am trying
to use, that is also a result of a badly formed URL, and in this case
I do not know if the problem is mine or not.

for the following WMS layer:

LAYER
    GROUP "Color Photos 2005"
    NAME "Ortho2005"
    TYPE RASTER
    CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
    STATUS OFF
    TRANSPARENCY 65
    CONNECTION "http://wms.oregonexplorer.info/ImageX/ecw_wms.dll?"
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:2992"
    END
    METADATA
      "wms_srs"             "EPSG:2992"
      "WMS_name"	    "2005ORTHOIMAGERY.ECW"
      "wms_server_version"  "1.1.1"
      "wms_format"          "image/png"
      "wms_transparent"	    "TRUE"
      "wms_bgcolor"         "0x000000"
      IMAGEFORMAT "AGGA"
    END
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:2992"
    END
END

GeoMOOSE is creating the following URL which is broken because of the
";" after the "FORMAT=image/png" :

http://wms.oregonexplorer.info/ImageX/ecw_wms.dll?LAYERS=2005ORTHOIMAGERY.ECW&amp;SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png;SRS=EPSG:2992&BBOX=-834744.6077081193,655019.564290853,1608541.8577081193,1224697.755709147&WIDTH=965&HEIGHT=225&MOOSETIME=1231372918836

This second error seems like it could be a bug in GeoMOOSE, but I
don't know enough to know.
