[mapserver-users] Trouble shooting SLD?

[K]

Do you mean the part about using GetStyles to get a SLD blurb from 
Mapserver? I did try that originally, well I used PHP Mapscript to do 
it. On the odd chance that GetStyles does something different I just did 
a GetStyles request, changed the color and nothing else.

Still not working.
