[mapserver-users] MS3.5 for Win2K with Postgis

[Tyler Mitchell]

I'm just starting to scratch the surface of WMS, but in my opinion that
error doesn't look it necessarily means WMS isn't compiled into the build,
but perhaps the WMS server isn't setup properly?  How do you know that
everything is setup properly in your map file?

A quick question,

according to the readme file in the zipfile, "This is the precompiled
distribution of MapServer version 3.5 nightly build with
GIF, OGR, GDAL, PostGIS (PostgreSQL) and OGC WMS server support."

When I do mapserv -v

I get:

C:\mapserver>mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PR
J SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

And when I try:
http://plasma/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/demo.map&request=GetCapabilities

I get the following output.

    mapserv(): Web application error. No template provided.

I'm assuming that this version doesn't have WMS support, as stated in the
README file. Is it possible to get hold of a copy which does?

Thanks,

Andrew
