[Mapserver-users] WFS Anyone?

[Keith Campbell]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your reply.

I've discovered what the problem was - MapServer had not been compiled 
--with-wfs as I thought it had - D'oh! Anyway, it's been recompiled 
appropriately and the GetCapabilities request does work. However, the 
GetFeature request returns this error:-

msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. no system list, errno: 2

So far the MapServer error messages I've come across have been 
self-explanatory, but I'm not sure about that one. Presumably it's come 
from PROJ4, but I don't know what system list it's referring to. Any 
ideas? And how do I put this right?

The WFS can be found at:-

Regards,

Keith
