Re: [udig-devel] Some WMS help...

Hi David,

Seems to be something with the GetCapabilities.  The base url it advertises is:

http://www.pagc.sk.ca:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=alup.map

If you use that to make a GetMap request you get the error message: 

msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (alup.map) 

You are going to have to debug your mapserver so that it either gives a different base URL in the getCapabilities document or that url will work

Hey Folks,

Wondering if some people can shed some light on some issues I am having.

I am trying to access some WMS layers through UDIG but it is proving to be a challenge I am curious if the issues are with UDIG or the WMS server.

First, the get capabilities link

http://www.pagc.sk.ca:8080/cgi-bin/aluptest.exe?service=wms&request=getcapabilities

Here is a sample map.
http://www.pagc.sk.ca:8080/cgi-bin/aluptest.exe?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&layers=Saskatchewan-Boundary,Core-Stage-2-Boundary,Overlap-with-Communities-to-the-South,Overlap-With-Communities-to-the-Southeast,Lakes,Rivers,Lake-Labels,Community-Labels,Communities

I can not however get this goin in UDIG…  or QGIS for that matter.

Yes I am able to get other WMS working….

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers
