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

["Sampson, David" <dsampson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm actually troubleshooting someone else's server to point them in the right direction...

 

looks like that manually constructing the get map works fine but when an application relies on the get capabilities doc it fails...

 

Thanks for confirming my hunch.

 

Cheers

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
