WMS connection error. Failed to draw ...

[Sol Lederman]

MAPSERVER-USERS Digest - 5 Dec 2006 to 6 Dec 2006 (#2006-339)Dear List Members,

I've been pulling my hair out trying to get MapServer running on a linux box. I once got it working on a different box but this was over a year ago so I may be missing a step or the other box might have been configured differently.

When trying to draw a demo map I get this error:

msDrawMap(): WMS connection error. Failed to draw WMS layer named 'land_fn'. This most likely happened because the remote WMS server returned an invalid image, and XML exception or another unexpected result in response to the GetMap request. Also check and make sure that the layer's connection URL is valid. 

The box that I set mapserver up on a year ago can render the same .map file just fine so I don't believe anything in the map file is incorrect.

Below is the map file. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this.

Thanks,
Sol
