Is the MINSCALE property necessary?

Check your tomcat logs for incoming requests for the WMS photo service. Those will give clues. I suspect you'll find that the requests are using bboxes that are too large for your photo service. (Your photo service seems to reject requests with bboxes larger than the extents of the DOQ layer. It's a bit finicky, and you may have to work around that. Perhaps increase the extents of your photo service.)

Actually, I'm using the bbox range that you indicated in your other reply and still not getting a wms layer image. That error message that I posted is old. I just thought that it might indicate a problem because I haven't changed much since then.

Yes, that URL from the Tomcat log is probably the one that Mapserver used to request the photo layer.

Recall the error message I mentioned before said "Invalid Lon-Lat coordinates, must specify at least one (lon,lat) pair correctly; Longitude must be between -170 and -60 Latitude must be between 15 and 75 ". The bbox in your URL is outside that range.

Thanks for the reply. I tried changing the bounding box and still nothing. I even removed all the layers except the wms layer to make sure it wasn't any conflict with the other layers.

I noticed this message in red after I stopped the Tomcat server. It has only appeared a few times after stopping the server.

Do you think that it is possible that the url for this layer is somehow being requested exactly how it appears in this Tomcat message?

I made a WMS request in my browser using the request parameters specified in your photo layer:

http://terraservice.net/OgcMap.ashx?request=getmap&service=wms&version=1.1.1&width=500&height=500&layers=DOQ&bbox=-170,60,-150,75&srs=EPSG:4326&format=png



The WMS gave an error: "Invalid Lon-Lat coordinates, must specify at least one (lon,lat) pair correctly; Longitude must be between -170 and -60 Latitude must be between 15 and 75 "

With a different lat-long bounding box it seems to work. I tested with bbox=-124,46,-110,52. I think the source WMS server doesn't like your bounding box.

That's just a guess. I don't know exactly what WMS URLs mapserver is using to request the photo layers. If you have a way to intercept those outgoing URLs that should give you enough clues to fix the problem.

Hi, I'm new to the Mapserver Listserv. I am having problems displaying the wms layer on my map. My problem is that I don't see any aerial shots at all. It is as if the map is being drawn without the layer.

Here is a snippet out of my map file where the wms layer is defined:

LAYER
NAME "photo"
STATUS DEFAULT
TYPE RASTER
MINSCALE 10000
#MAXSCALE 10000

CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
CONNECTION "http://terraservice.net/OgcMap.ashx?";

METADATA
"wms_srs" "EPSG:4326"
"wms_title" "Orthophoto"
"wms_name" "DOQ"
"wms_server_version" "1.1.1"
"wms_format" "image/png"
"wms_layers" "doq"
"wms_group_title" "background"
"wms_onlineresource" "http://terraservice.net/OgcMap.ashx?";
"wms_latlonboundingbox" "-170 -60 15 75"
#"wms_connectiontimeout" "120"
END
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326"
END
DEBUG ON
END

BTW, my map extent is -178.21759836236586 18.924781799316406 -66.96927103600244 71.40623535327121. Thanks for your reply.
