[Mapserver-users] WMS mapfile snippet/WMS test server

[Nicolas Boretos]

Hello list,

Trying to test features of my static mapserver build (4.0.1) using msys...
My shape files test and queries work
My postgis stuff works..

Now while testing the WMS client stuff with this snippet in the map file...
I get the "msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. no system 
list, errno: 2" that's been reported on the list..

I have the "EPSG:4326" projection in my .....cgi-bin/ms401/proj directory...
as well as in c:\proj, and c:\proj\nad...

I saw this comment on the list....

"If your server runs on Windows, then the epsg file is searched in 
either C:\PROJ, or C:\PROJ\NAD depending on the version of PROJ that was 
used to compile MapServer...."

As noted above, I've used msys/mingwin to compile ms, is this a problem? 
I was under the impression that ms looked
into its own install dir for the proj directory....?


Here my mapfile snippet ...
##Extracted from WMS cookbook python script...
LAYER

        "wms_server_version"  "1.0.0"
        #"wms_formatlist"      "image/gif,image/png,image/jpeg,image/wbmp"
        "wms_format"          "image/png"
      END
    END
###End WMS

Do I need anything in my WEB object?

Could someone supply a valid snippet that tests the WMS servers posted 
at postgis site?

regards,

nicolas
