[mapserver-users] Mapserver as WMS on Windows

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello Erwin,

I should note that MS4W comes pre-configured for IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL, 
but I see that you have configured your own locations, which is fine 
(you can see the syntax in any one of the 63 working mapfiles that are 
distributed with MS4W applications, or also actually inside the WMS 
Server document at 
http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#sample-wms-server-mapfile). 
This isn't affecting your question, but I thought I would mention it for 
the record.

In terms of your question: what is the response for the following WMS 
GetCapabilities request? 
http://10.224.160.25:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/mapfile.map&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

If that gives you a valid GetCapabilities response, with no "WARNING" 
messages, then I would use the following in your WMS client: 
http://10.224.160.25:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/mapfile.map?

It is nice to hear that the MS4W product is working so well for your 
organization.  Please be sure to contact me directly to help fund this 
great product, that allows your organization to share; that assistance 
will help keep MS4W growing and sustainable.  Thank you so much.
