Sounds like you may be having connection issues  Can you get to remote
URL locations?

In MAP/WEB/METADATA/, you can set "ows_schemas_location" (see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/#web-object-metadata)
.

If you set ows_schemas_location, the code will output the correct
location of the DTD as per the main schemas.opengis.net site with the
ows_schemas_location you specify.  If you do not specify
ows_schemas_location, the code will use the default definition.

In either case, the DOCTYPE declaration is correctly outputted by the
code.
