[mapguide-users] Having trouble figuring out the path for wms

[Greg Boone]

Which server are you trying to connect to? What path did you try? 

You can specify any valid path to a WMS server. You can test the
connection string by attempting to connect to the server using an http
browser. 

Here are some examples of valid WMS connection strings

Subject: [mapguide-users] Having trouble figuring out the path for wms

Hi All,
 
I am trying to use Autodesk MapGuide Studio to connect to a wms server,
powered by MapServer, using the latest wms/wfs connectors, but I can't
seem to figure out the path and can't find any documentation on this.
The MapServer documentation suggests a path something like
 
http://yourhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=path/to/your/map&
 
With a whole bunch of extra parameters after it, whereas a MapGuide
Studio connection to (say) geoserver seems only to require
 
http://yourhost/geoserver/wms <http://yourhost/geoserver/wms> 
 
The first option gives me an error that states 
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (559)
MgFdoException.

   at
Autodesk.MapGuide.Studio.Site.Comm.RequestManager.TestConnection(String
resourceId, String provider, String connectionString)
   at Autodesk.MapGuide.Studio.Site.FeatureSourceInfo.TestConnection()
 
Which is fair enough since I didn't think it was correct, but has anyone
managed to make a connection from Studio to a MapServer map, and what
path did they use?
 
Many thanks
 
Jo
