Terraserver WMS

[Chip Taylor]

Sorry, I renamed the layer from ortho-18 to TSOrtho1 after running the map
and before sending the message.  My bad.

 

 

I think the JPEG issue is the problem.  I totally missed that.  As for the
projection, I know that will be a problem and will be addressed before
production.  I don't think that will prevent the map from displaying.  

 

I'll try changing the wms-format to jpeg.

 

Thanks for the help.

Chip -

 

Are you certain that's the map file you're really using for the request

that produces that error?  The error message refers to a layer named

"ortho-18", and your map file has no layer of that name.

 

The Microsoft TerraServer WMS services do not support GIF image requests

- the only image type supported is JPEG.  Be sure to check the

GetCapabilities document carefully so you don't request things the

server can't provide.

 

Your EXTENT seems to indicate that you want the output map to be in some

sort of "geographic" projection, but you do not have a PROJECTION block

in your map file to specify the output projection you want.  If you use

this technique you should realize that you will have problems at UTM

zone edges, as the TerraServer UTM layers will not match properly at

zone boundaries.
