[mapserver-users] NQuery problem

[Steve Lime]

For a layer to be queryable you have to:

  1 - either set Status DEFAULT, or explicitly turn it on (e.g. layer=abc)
  2 - define the layer TEMPLATE property

Are those true?

Hi,

I am also facing a similar problem. It doesn't throw an error but it 
doesn't give me a result either.

My url looks like this :
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?MAP=abc.map&MODE=nquery&LAYERS=abc&imgext=8920506.9477+3496535.4213+8954750.736418456+3530779.2100573704&imgbox=657+209+686+239&imgxy=670+230

The extent given here is within  the map extent.
Can you please tell me if there's some mistake here?

Thanks a lot.

Subha
