[mapserver-users] Open Layers Problem

Fri Apr 27 19:25:30 EDT 2012

Thanks,

I used this

http://173.236.45.118/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/bicimapas/mapdata/BiciMapasM
S.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

and now get the capabilities report, which seems to be correct, but still
the map does not show with OpenLayers.

Any ideas?

Try using the complete (absolute) path to the mapfile.
