I turned off my custom layers and turned on Sheboygan. My GetCapabilities
now looks identical to a site that I found on the list that works in ArcGIS
and Udig (mapguide.spatialgis.com).
One difference I see in our implementations is they use port 80 and I use
8008. Could my choice of 8008 at install time have messed up anything? I'm
port forwarding through a little router. Is there anything I might have
messed up on the Windows user setups? I've got Permissions on the Service
and layer set to Everyone.
