WFS Problems

Thu May 4 03:12:41 EDT 2006

CONNECTIONTYPE LOCAL does not exist in Mapserver. Assuming your DATA is a
shapefile, just leave out the CONNECTIONTYPE part of your LAYER definition
at all.

Best regards,
Bart

Hi Tom,

I was hoping you could clarify for me the path name?

The path on my computer is
"C:/ms4w/apps/maplab-2.2.1/projects/gmf_projects/wfs_1.map" 

So all together it would be
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:/ms4w/apps/maplab-2.2.1/proje
cts/gmf_projects/wfs_1.map&version=1.0.0&service=WFS&request=GetCapabili
ties  ? 

I tried this and got this as this error

getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near (LOCAL):(line
29)

Not sure where I am going wrong.

Thanks for the help.

Mark

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
