Great suggestions Daniel. Here is what I have to report --

It is already reduced to a single layer.

Make sure the name of the layer is not changed: if you have multiple layers with the same name then the WMS handler will rename them to make them unique (WMS spec requirement)


That was very useful. No errors, but I do notice the following funky issue (see below)

   <Layer queryable="0" opaque="0" cascaded="0">
        <Name>gmna</Name>
        <Title>gmna</Title>
        <SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS>
        <LatLonBoundingBox minx="-2.5e+07" miny="-2.5e+07" maxx="2.5e+07" maxy="2.5e+07" />
        <BoundingBox SRS="EPSG:4326"
                    minx="-2.5e+07" miny="-2.5e+07" maxx="2.5e+07" maxy="2.5e+07" />
        <Style>
          <Name>default</Name>
          <Title>default</Title>
          <LegendURL width="167" height="7029">
             <Format>image/png</Format>

          </LegendURL>
        </Style>


Where the heck did that (+-)2.5e+07 business get into the BoundingBox? I didn't add that. All I did was query in lat/lon. Maybe that is where my error remains now.

Indeed, a great suggestion. Actually, that is exactly how I started. Got everything working with a Mapfile, then migrated to MapScript (I am touching MapScript after many years now, perhaps half a decade), got that working, and am now on to WMS.

Anyway, I seem to be close to a resolution. Something is going on with my BoundingBox.

Puneet.
