Hi everybody!<br><br>I get the following error when I try to consume a MapServer WMS service:<br><br><b>One or more layers failed to draw:<br><br>Servicio WMS Cartografia Basica 1:500.000:   WMS service exceptions:-Service Error Code:InvalidFormat<br>
Service Error Description: msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS server error. Invalid format for the EXCEPTION parameter.<br>-Service Error Code:InvalidFormat</b><br><br>This error description is taken from ArcMap, but I have problems in gvSIG and QuantumGIS too. <br>
<br>The error seems to be related with a tag in METADATA definition of <b>&quot;wms_exceptions_format&quot;</b>. Here is my METADATA tags:<br><br>METADATA<br>                &quot;wms_title&quot;  &quot;Servicio WMS Cartografia Basica 1:500.000&quot;<br>

  END  # Metadata<br clear="all"><br><br>Any idea of what I have to put there? Or this error has another cause?<br><br>Clients like ArcMap or gvSIG take by default 1.3.0 as the version of the WMS service. This could be the problem too. When I select the 1.1.1 version of service in ArcMap, the WMS works well. <br>
<br>I&#39;ve been reading in many sites, and it seems to be a frequent error. I hope you know how to solve it.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>-- <br>LUIS FERNANDO ORTIZ REYES<br>INGENIERO DE SISTEMAS<br>UNIVERSIDAD DISTRITAL<br>
