Also just thought that I'd mention that my Mapserver is not properly set up as a WMS and it will be quite difficult to do so so I'd rather use the cgi mode of Mapserver. However when looking at the Mapserver examples I failed to see anything at all which resembled this. It calls " http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0"; but shouldn't there be a "cgi-bin/mapserv?map=" somewhere.
The form the URL looks at the beginning is irrelevant for a servers compliance with the WMS protocol. There are many -- reasonably well documented -- ways how the 'cgi-bin/mapserv?/map=' can be hidden. See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cgi-wrapper-script. But the first thing to test is if your server works at all -- outside the OpenLayers client. Run something like http://www.yunnanexplorer.com/cgi-bin/wms?request=getmap&service=wms&version=1.1&layers=earthquakes in your browser (substituting your layer names and your URL). If your server works, you should get a map image, if not an XML error message. Once this is working, you can add your server to your OpenLayers client as a WMS server (the HttpRequest bit will not work). HTH Ludwig
