[mapserver-users] Trouble with IIS/WMS service in ArcGIS

[Bistrais, Bob]

Problem resolved!  We checked the directories where the map images
should have been, but nothing there.  There were a few things we
checked, including paths to the directories.  One important thing found,
the log file showed an error referring to a bad WFS request.  We have no
WFS requests in the map files.  With a Google search we found this error
is caused by a bug in the latest MapServer software.  So we switched
back to the next recent version of MS4W, and the service works fine now.

Make sure that the directory where the temporary map images /ms_tmp/ are

stored is accessible by your server's IIS_XXUSER otherwise no images 
will be served.

Don't trust IIS to arrange this for you, you have to set it yourself at 
system level.
