      <pre wrap="">Hi,

I followed the instructions on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html">http://mapserver.org/ogc/wfs_server.html</a> 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:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="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">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</a>

GetFeatureInfo also works:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="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">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</a>

But now for WFS:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="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">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</a>

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:

    your mapfile is missing .. ?<br>
    are you sure that your layer METADATA section contains <span
      class="s">"wfs_enable_request"</span> <span class="s">"*"</span>
    (or "ows_enable_request" "*") ?<br>

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

Thanks!
