<br><br></div></div><div>If I were to change the name of the layer (on the line that I have mentioned) to 'Malawi_2012' or anything else, the mosaic would not load. It only loads if this layer name matches the name of my cgi file. I guess the question is if there are any limitations on the name you can give a layer in the 'layer' section of the mapproxy config.<br>

Is this absolutely necessary? Or is there something that I am doing wrong? I have several mosaics being served from this WMS server, and it appears to be the same with all of them.<br>
<br>
</div>MapProxy just adds the layers to the WMS URL. So it will request <a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/layerName.cgi?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=layerName&." target="_blank">http://localhost/cgi-bin/layerName.cgi?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=layerName&.</a>..<br>
You should look at your CGI wrapper/MapServer config.<br>
<br>
