Thanks for the suggestion, Scott. I think the seeder is optional, right?
Anyway, I ended up figuring out that my <source> was wrong in a couple of
ways in mapcache.xml. I misunderstood the
<getmap> parameters. Now I have this:
<source name="faa" type="wms">
<getmap>
<params>
<FORMAT>image/png</FORMAT>
<LAYERS>FAA_Sectional_Charts</LAYERS>
<SRS>EPSG:3857</SRS>
</params>
</getmap>
<http>
<url>http://localhost:8080/wms</url>
</http>
</source>
I wrote a tiny little leaflet test and, after making every possible
mistake, finally
got it all to work so I'm all set. Thanks,
carl
