Hello list I've been trying to set up a wms server on my laptop for testing purposes but I can't seem to make it work. I'm using mapserver, having installed version 5.4.2 as supplied by the ubuntugis-unstable repository for ubuntu 9.10, which is my operating system. I created the mapfile[1], tested the GetCapabilities request through a web browser (it came out without any warnings) and I can see my map through shp2img and also through a web browser[2]. However, I cannot see it through Qgis. I am defining my wms server with the following connection string:
http://pig/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/ricardo/Public/public_html/pig/mapfiles/teste.map ('pig' is just the name I gave to my apache virtual host, so that is why it is there, instead of 'localhost') I can connect to the server and see the available layers, but when I select one layer to be loaded Qgis acts like it loaded the layer but I get only a blank image that is not even showing up in the place that it was supposed to. Maybe this question would be better suited for the mapserver mailing-list but I can see the map through a browser, so I am guessing that my mistake is in the definition of the wms server inside Qgis... Please note that I can use the default wms servers that come with Qgis (the JPL, Lizardtech and DMSolutions) without any problem. As a side note, I tried the same thing with Kosmo and the result was the same. I can see the available layers but when I load a layer the result is just a blank image. Through Kosmo I can even see the legend of the map, which appears fine, showing my 2 classes and their color.. Thanks for helping me out [1] - mapfile named teste.map follows: # testes para mapfile para PIG map name "nomeServWMS" status on size 800 600 extent -89082.193 -100704.460 -88936.384 -100604.0546 units meters imagecolor 255 0 255 imagetype png projection "init=epsg:27492" end web imagepath "/home/ricardo/Public/public_html/pig/temp_images/" imageurl "/temp_images" log testes.log header "/home/ricardo/Public/public_html/pig/templates/header.html" template "/home/ricardo/Public/public_html/pig/templates/blank.html" footer "/home/ricardo/Public/public_html/pig/templates/footer.html" metadata wms_title "titulo do servico" wms_abstract "pequena descricao do servico wms" wms_onlineresource "http://pig/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/ricardo/Public/public_html/pig/mapfiles/teste.map&" wms_srs "epsg:27492" end end layer name salasP1 type polygon status on connectiontype postgis connection "host=localhost dbname=pigTeste user=gisuser password=resusig" #data "the_geom from (select * from sala where pi_gid=1) as salaP1 using unique sa_gid using srid=27492" data "the_geom from salasp1 using unique sa_gid using srid=27492" template "../templates/blank.html" dump true projection "init=epsg:27492" end metadata wms_title "salasP1tit" wms_abstract "Breve descricao" wms_keywordlist "teste" wms_srs "epsg:27492" wms_include_items "all" gml_include_items "all" wms_feature_info_mime_type "text/plain" end classitem "tipo" class name "WC" expression "Casa de banho" style color 232 232 232 outlinecolor 0 0 0 end end class name "Sala" expression "Sala" style color 255 0 0 outlinecolor 0 0 0 end end end end [2] - calling it as http://pig/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/ricardo/Public/public_html/pig/mapfiles/teste.map&service=wms&mode=map&layer=salasP1 -- ___________________________ ___ __ Ricardo Garcia Silva _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
