[mapserver-users] WMS server error. Invalid layer(s) given in the LAYERS parameter.

[Mike Stoddart]

Thanks, I tried as you suggested after reading the documentation

    WEB
        IMAGEPATH "/opt/test/static/ms_tmp"
        IMAGEURL  "/media/ms_tmp/"
        METADATA
            ows_enable_request "*"
        END
    END # WEB

But I still get the same error.

Thanks
Mike
