I originally had an FGS setup installed and my OpenLayers page worked fine displaying both Google Maps layers and Mapserver layers which were retrieved by a WMS request.
However I have now moved over to HostGIS as a base and the WMS requests have become really strange. Originally a standard WMS request statement looked like this: http://192.168.1.130/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/mswmsrq.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=getmap&SRS=EPSG:4326&layers=grap,grcad,cadbd,propbd,fmbl,varbl However when running under HostGIS I kept getting mapserv errors and after satisfying all of the things it was whinging about, I got it to finally display again using the request shown below: http://192.168.1.130/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/mswmsrq.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=getmap&SRS=EPSG:4326&layers=grap,grcad,cadbd,propbd,fmbl,varbl&BBOX=144.841,-34.5838,146.344,-34.0477&format=image/png&width=800&height=600&styles= Notice the really strange "styles=" Despite this I cannot get WMS requests out of OpenLayers to work at all, even adding all of the extra parameters it is asking for. I have no idea what's going on here, possibly different mapserver settings are present in the HostGIS setup. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Cheers Brad
