[Mapbender-users] problems in loading a mapserver-WMS to mapbender

[Astrid Emde (WhereGroup)]

Hello Albert,

please change the WMS_ONLINERESOURCE in your mapfile. Always use / .

WMS_ONLINERESOURCE
"http://www.xxx.info/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=D:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/maps/bplan.map"


Please check first whether you get an xml as response from the MapServer:
http://www.xxx.info/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=D:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/maps/bplan.map&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities

Then you can load the WMS in Mapbender

Best regards Astrid
