[mapserver-users] Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] getString(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near (map):(line 21)

Simone,

I'm responding to the new list at osgeo.org...  Please remember to use 
this new address as the old one will go away soon.

What exactly does the error say and what does your mapfile look like?  
Can't help you when we can't see what's wrong.  There have been a few 
changes in MapServer 5.x (from MapServer 4.x)--you might want to check 
the WMS documentation.  Chances are there are a few more required 
WMS-specific parameters that you have to add to your WMS layer.
