[mapserver-users] MapCache "missing a service" error

Hi,

The demo page seems like a very normal html page.  Perhaps your hosted server has troubles with finding the html code or something.  Unfortunately I am not expert on this area.

Hi,

It's a server IP address. The web site hosted on that server can be accessed well. And adding the service and request parameter to the URL works too. What I'm wondering is that why I can't access http://192.168.56.101/mapcache/demo/ as the document says.

Hi,

In the Mapcache documentation the service in installed on the local computer so that after installation the demo page is found from address http://localhost/mapcache/demo/ which is the same as http://127.0.0.1/mapcache/demo/

I saw from your previous mail that you were using another IP address for contacting your Mapcache, namely
http://192.168.56.101/mapcache/ so I used that in my address. I do not know if that address is also your own computer or some other machine. If it is the same computer where your keyboard is connected then localhost and 127.0.0.1 addresses should work as well.

I have installed my Mapcache into port 8060 of my computer so for me the link to the list of demos is
http://127.0.0.1:8060/mapcache/demo/ and in a browser it shows the page like this

Hi,

Great, then you have made it.  The message means that your URL connects Mapcache as WMS service but the message is missing the compulsory WMS parameters SERVICE and REQUEST because you only did

http://192.168.56.101/mapcache/

You will see the WMS 1.1.0 capabilities document by using
http://192.168.56.101/mapcache?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities
and you should be able to use your service and see the map layers as maps with some WMS client like OpenJUMP or QGis. If the demo is installed you can also test with http://192.168.56.101/mapcache/demo/wms

You need to pass the path_info from nginx to mapcache. Use something like

  fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;

in your location block.
