[mapserver-users] R: URL redirection under Apache2-Difference WMS and WFS server

[Pasquale Regina]

if I did not add to rewriterule  &service=wms&request=getcapabilities ... not working. The problem is on wfs that reads the wfs request GetCapabilities but when I ask for qgis (add wfs layer) to add the layer (getfeature) this passes 2 times the request, getcapabilities (due to rewrite) and getfeature and generating error.
I would avoid using SERVICE in rewrite statement but no it does not work.

I'd avoid using the SERVICE= rewrites as the handling of capital letters may prove to be problematic. You should also not be adding the REQUEST= and other parts in your rewrite rule.

Basically, just:

<Directory “…/public_html”>

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule mywms(.*)?(.*)$
/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/biss.org/public_html/pmapper/config/default/pmapper_demo_wms$1.map&$2
RewriteRule mywfs(.*)?(.*)$
/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/biss.org/public_html/pmapper/config/default/pmapper_demo_wfs$1.map&$2

</Directory>
