Rainer, depends on your use i guess.
Have a read through all the options at,
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/?searchterm=wms
Most of the optional paramters are for CITE compliance or other
features (such as WMS-Time and WFS).
So long as your capabilities are reporting the correct online_resource
url and a correct BBOX, most clients should function without any
problems.

Hi Chris
cool, now it works. Thanks a lot.
Might there be some more wms-metadata fields I should add except the
mandatory fields?
Cheers

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] invalide extension in the wms capability
file
Rainer,
try adding the wms_extent parameter to your LAYER / METADATA object.
This will override the need for MS to try and determine the extents
from PostGIS, i have had some occasions where the BBOX was reported
incorrectly (especially from postgis/sde). Just make sure what you
specify is in the correct SRS.
eg.
LAYER ..
METADATA
wms_extent "2000073 5310090 3001881 6785641"

Hi there,
I have a problem with my WMS server. I am using the NZMG (ESPG:27200)
projection and my php client is accessing and visualise the data
perfect. But when I call the WMS service, I get a <inf> value in the
extention of the layers. I checked the exstension. ogrinfo delivers
the used map's extension and the epsg definition file defines the
projection as follow:
# NZGD49 / New Zealand Map Grid
<27200> +proj=nzmg +lat_0=-41 +lon_0=173 +x_0=2510000 +y_0=6023150
+ellps=intl +units=m +no_defs no_defs <>

The entity maxy="inf" in the LatLonBoudningBox field makes big
problems for WMS clients to parse this capability file. What might be
wrong on that?
