[mapserver-users] Mapserver as wms client error trace

[Sowmya Tiramdasu]

Hi Jeff, 

 Thanks for your reply. Yes, I tried the example ones and it works fine. The
problem is only with my WMS Server. The data I have( shape files, ortho
images and the Las file[This is being rendered by my WMS Server]) are all in
the same projection and I gave the extents of the map also accordingly. With
the same projection and extents I am able to render the ortho images and
shape files using map server, but not able to render the image from my WMS
Server. 

How can I check if my extents are right and the projection information I
provided is right ? Are there any Tips or best practices to achieve this?
Also, can you guide me to a good tutorial where I can understand all this
projection stuff. I am fairly new to GIS domain. 

Thanks again for your patience in trying to help me. Appreciate your help. 

Regards, 
Sowmya.

Hello Sowmya,

Next I would probably test by adding a known working WMS server into
your mapfile: you can use the exact example from the docs here (just add
a projection object)
http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_client.html#adding-a-wms-layer If
shp2img shows a GetMap for that new layer, then you know it's a problem
with your WMS Server (or a problem regarding coordinates).

If all else fails, make a copy of your mapfile, then remove all other
layers from it, and any projection objects, and make sure your EXTENT
and UNITS match the coordinates of your WMS layer.

(yes projections are the hardest part of web mapping)

Good luck,

-jeff
