[mapserver-users] WMS rendering

[Håvard Tveite]

Hi Francesco,

Do you get any error messages?

Your map file looks a bit like the example from the WMS
Server documentation (http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html),
and that should be a good starting point.

To make it easier to find the source of your problems, I
suggest that you start with the basic example in the
WMS Server documentation and expand it gradually.

Håvard

PS: You are using SIZEUNITS meters in your test layer.  That
means that your SIZE 0.0019 symbols will be very small if
you are not operating close to a 1:1 map scale.

I'm using a shapefile as a map source and it's a map of points (generated by a csv using ogr2ogr - Could I use directly csv with Mapserver? I don't know). I can't get the rendering of this map using for example QGIS or this URL in the browser (which I hope it's correct):
