[mapserver-users] Help with configuring WMS

Greetings,

 

I have what I hope is a simple issue.

 

I have a working mapfile in which I have setup WMS.  When I test with
GetCapabilities, everything seems to return fine (mostly, see below).
However, when I test with GetMap, I just get a blank image (set to the
background color I have in the map file).

 

One odd thing, though, with the GetCapabilities results is that the bounding
box coordinates reverse the X and Y:

<BoundingBox CRS="EPSG:4326" minx="33.6158" miny="-103.002" maxx="37.0023"
maxy="-94.4307"/>

 

However, the GeographicBoundingBox is correct:

   <EX_GeographicBoundingBox>

        <westBoundLongitude>-103.002</westBoundLongitude>

        <eastBoundLongitude>-94.4307</eastBoundLongitude>

        <southBoundLatitude>33.6158</southBoundLatitude>

        <northBoundLatitude>37.0023</northBoundLatitude>

    </EX_GeographicBoundingBox>

 

I am running this on my local machine so I am attaching the sample mapfile
and the GetCapabilities results, and including the GetMap example I am using
which is returning the blank image.

 

Example:

GetMap

 

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OK_TEST/OK_Counties.map
<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OK_TEST/OK_Counties.map
&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=Counties&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX
=-103.002,33.6158,-94.4307,37.0023&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=300&FORMAT=image/png&STY
LES=&TRANSPARENT=TRUE>
&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=Counties&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX
=-103.002,33.6158,-94.4307,37.0023&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=300&FORMAT=image/png&STY
LES=&TRANSPARENT=TRUE

 

GetCapabilities

 

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OK_TEST/OK_COUNTIES.map
<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/OK_TEST/OK_COUNTIES.map
&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities>
&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

 

Todd
