[mapserver-users] styling point shapefile for wms

[Jeff McKenna]

I can imagine after you do a GetCapabilities request you will notice 
many warnings in that response: be sure to get rid of all warnings, or 
else there will be problems in clients downstream (QGIS etc).  For 
example, be sure to add metadata for all layers, and a projection object 
to all layers, etc etc.  Best/easiest to just follow a working example 
mapfile:  http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#sample-wms-server-mapfile

Have a nice easter,
