[mapserver-users] msWMSDispatch(): WMS server error. Incomplete WMS request: VERSION parameter missing

[Cassiel]

I must say that this issue arised when I moved the website to another
webserver... same OS, debian lenny, but different arch 32bit -> amd64.
The 32 bit machine was hosting only one website.

Te new amd64 webserver hosts two sites (name based virtual host) so the wms
request is served by a virtual host (Apache 2.2), same ip address for two
dns. Could it be a dns related issue? does mapserv bin complains about
virtual hosts?

Since I switched from the old machine to the new I can't get no wms layer
with QGis even with the version request variable (it was there from the
start).

This is my WMS link:

http://193.206.192.55/cgi-bin/rf_mapserv?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

www.catastocen.apat.it is the dns name.

If you substitute the numeric address with the dns one mapserver returns a
binary file...

thanks for responding
regards

raffaele
