[mapserver-users] WMS works, WFS doesn't

Hi,

I followed the instructions on http://mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html to
set up a WFS server with the shown example file. I find that WMS works fine,
but WFS doesn't, even though I am basically using the same configuration.

The WMS server:
http://wms.cipix4.cipix.nl/?MAP=%2Fhome%2Figis%2Fwww%2Fdata%2Fwms%2Ftutorial%2Fhtdocs%2Fex.map&service=wms&request=GetMap&bbox=-180.000000,-90.000000,180.000000,83.627419&layers=continents&version=1.0.0&srs=epsg:4326&format=jpeg&width=500&height=500

GetFeatureInfo also works:
http://wms.cipix4.cipix.nl/?MAP=%2Fhome%2Figis%2Fwww%2Fdata%2Fwms%2Ftutorial%2Fhtdocs%2Fex.map&service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetFeatureInfo&bbox=-180.000000,-90.000000,180.000000,83.627419&layers=continents&version=1.0.0&srs=epsg:4326&format=jpeg&width=500&height=500&query_layers=continents&info_formate=xml&X=106&Y=80

But now for WFS:
http://wms.cipix4.cipix.nl/?MAP=%2Fhome%2Figis%2Fwww%2Fdata%2Fwms%2Ftutorial%2Fhtdocs%2Fex.map&service=wfs&request=GetFeature&TYPENAME=continents&version=1.0.0

It says:
msWFSGetFeature(): WFS server error. TYPENAME 'continents' doesn't exist in
this server.  Please check the capabilities and reformulate your request.

I don't get it: the typename should be the same as the layer name and that
works fine in the WMS request. /var/log/mapserver reveals nothing
interesting at all.

My mapfile is:


After a couple of hours of searching I though I should just ask someone.

Thanks!
