[mapserver-users] WMS Server problem

Wed Mar 24 18:51:42 EDT 2010

Hi guys,

Apologies for adding another question related to a similar previous post but
I too am having problems getting MapServer to serve a WMS layer.  At this
stage I can't get a GetCapabilities (it wants to download the mapserv file)
or Mode=map to work via the browser. I have been able to get the layer to
render correctly using openLayers in WMS mode however.

Below is my basic mapfile and openLayers file.  Note I have stripped most of
the styling out of the mapfile.
