[Qgis-user] trouble with WMS layer

[Burkhardt, Glenn B UTAS]

The Mapserver I've set up doesn't seem to have all the configuration needed for Qgis to add layers.  I'm hoping to get some pointers on what needs to change.  The layers I've defined show up in the server query, but they simply don't display.  One of the problems is that the GetMap query includes lat/lon for the entire world, instead of the extent of the layer that's been configured.  But even when I adjust that and use Firefox to make the query, it doesn't display the map.  Other applications, e.g., TakukGIS and WorldWind work with this server.  I'm using QGIS 3.2.3.

The query my map server is receiving is:

127.0.0.1 - - [16/Oct/2018:10:09:41 -0400] "GET /cgi-bin/mapserv?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-90,-180,90,180&CRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=1408&HEIGHT=705&LAYERS=MassJ250k&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&DPI=96&MAP_RESOLUTION=96&FORMAT_OPTIONS=dpi:96&TRANSPARENT=FALSE HTTP/1.1" 200 4802 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0"

The layer information report includes:
