Small update, WMS is properly working now I can request it and it returns
the correct layers. the wrapper is not working at all but it can probably
wait till last. I have tried to get openlayers to import the WMS data but it
won't
This is is the code i've used:
var mapservwms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("De Bortoli Mapserver", ['
http://192.168.1.130/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/mapfiles/dbwwms.map&service=wms&version=1.1&request=getmap&layers=dbwap,bcadbd,hcadbd'])<http://192.168.1.130/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/mapfiles/dbw.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=getmap&layers=dbap>
however it does not work, i just get a blank screen

Ok after some mucking around i managed to get the request to return a file
save message, however it returns this even when i use getmap not just
getcapabilities. Any idea why it is doing this?
The message is something like you have chosen to open mapserv which is an:
application/vnd.ogc.se_xml
my request was
http://192.168.1.130/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/mapfiles/dbw.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=getmap&layers=dbap
Also i am having trouble getting the wrapper to work but this is not my
priority yet.
