[mapserver-users] WMS Request issue

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Brian: what you're actually getting back is a service exception (try saving and opening the output in a text editor such as Notepad), which states invalid layers given.  In your WMS GetMap request, you specify the layer "parcelwms" which does exists in your mapfile (i.e. LAYER.NAME).  When I try changing the layer name to "parcels", i.e.:

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

I get a valid response back.

MapServer users:
 
Has anyone else ran into this issue.  I am trying to access a WMS
service I setup through a web browser to test it and the browser keeps
prompting me to download mapserv.exe instead of executing it.  Any ideas
why it works on a non-wms request and not the wms getmap request?  Both
are using the same location and .exe on the server.  It is using
MapServer 5.2 from MS4W 2.2.8. Thanks, Brian
 
If I do a non-wms request it works (example below):

If I do a WMS GetMap request it prompts me to download the .exe:

The mapfile is pretty straightforward as well.
