WFS Problems

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Hi Mark,

What happens when you try:

http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=$MAPFILE&version=1.0.0&service=
WFS&request=GetCapabilities

(where $MAPFILE is the file path to your .map file)

Also, you might want to take a look at the MapServer OGC Web Services
Workshop (http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html).

Hope this helps.

..Tom
