WMS doesn't show maps

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Hi Luca,

with respect to the GetCapabilities request, download the file anyway,
that's because the content type is something the browser does not know. It
is just an XML file though. Check if there are warnings or errors in the
XML.

For your METADATA at LAYER level you need at least (see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc46/wms-server-howto.html):

-wms_title
-wms_srs (if you did not define this at the WEB object)

Also, define a PROJECTION object for your LAYER.

A full request would be for instance:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQU
EST=getmap&layers=park,popplace&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-173.537,35.8775,
-11.9603,83.8009&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=300&FORMAT=image/png

Best regards,
Bart

	STATUS ON
	TILEINDEX "/var/www/pmapper/comalo/fotogrammetrico.shp"
	TILEITEM "Location"
	TYPE RASTER
	MAXSCALE 3003

If I do the request above in browser I get "mapserv" downloaded and in
Jump it gives "description not provided" error.

SRS

could you give an example of what I miss in .map as you suggested ere above?

Really thanks Bart.
