[mapserver-users] WMS Request issue

[Maarten Plieger]

Hi Brian,

Mapserver is actually executed and sends an error report back to you:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM 
"http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/exception_1_1_1.dtd">
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
<ServiceException code="LayerNotDefined">
msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS server error. Invalid layer(s) given in the 
LAYERS parameter.
</ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>

Your layers parameter is wrong, it should be parcels instead of parcelswms:
http://douglas.houstoneng.com/cgi-bin2/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/douglas/maps_douglas/douglas_ogc.map&service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=parcels&styles=default&srs=EPSG:26915&bbox=276595,5065831,342552,5113395&width=600&height=500&format=image/png

When you use version 1.0.0 instead of 1.1.1 the error is reported as an 
image, so you can read it in your browser.

Regards,
Maarten Plieger
