Re: [mapserver-users] Making mapserver into a WMS

[Jeff McKenna]

Matt,

Since you are using MS4W you might also want to check out the  
following ms4w add-on packages:

1) MapServer OGC Web Services Workshop
2) GMap75 PHP/MapScript Sample Application (the localhost page shows  
locally served WMS URLs)

Hi,

I'm trying to test ms4w as a WMS for use with OpenLayers.  Went
through the tutorial at:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/#setup-a-mapfile-for-your-wms

I created a simple mapfile according to the specs (I think).  It is
after the '===========' delimiter.  I called it with the following
url:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\tmp 
\map.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

and it asked me to download the mapserv.exe application.  Not what i
expect.  I'm pretty sure everything else is in order, because when I
call:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\tmp 
\map.map&mode=map

I get the expected map in my browser.

Any ideas what is wrong or how I am screwing up the incantation?

Thanks,
Matt
