[Tilecache] Tilecache and MapServer

[John Westwood]

Hi Tim,

Looking at tilecache.cgi with a text editor reveals the following
error:

msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS server error. Invalid SRS given : SRS must
be valid for all requested layers.

Which seems to indicate that there is a problem with the projection. In
the index html file I have set projection: "none" for each of the
MapServer layers. This worked fine when just using OpenLayers without
TileCache. If I specified "epsg:4326" when just using OpenLayers then I
would receive a similar error, but not if I specified "none".

Maybe I should try specifying "epsg:4326" in index.html

Regards,

John W.

Hmmm, try opening it with a text editor and see what it shows.  When
it
works correctly it returns an image; otherwise it should return some
text error message.
