[Chameleon] WFS layer display problem

[Bird, Derek]

Hi, this is the same question I asked on the chameleon forum ...
 
What is occuring is the URL to your map server has a ? followed by the map and whatever parameters .. The Chameleon all then takes that URL and automatically appends a ? to the URL, you can not have two ? marks in a URL.
 
The only solution I know of would be to create an alias in Apache for your map...  ie http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/fgs/apps/chameleon-2.0/test/map/test.map&typename=sightings2004_point becomes http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/maptest then it will work great.
 
If you notice DMS has their world map demo does not go through mapserv .... They must either have an scriptalias or some custom cgi script. I have not had an answer from them yet...
 
Regards,
Derek

	I have a layer (pulling from a shapefile) set up on my server set up to share as a wfs layer. The layer displays properly, when tapped via a getfeature request, the data comes back parsed properly with no errors, when using a chameleon experssionbuilder widget, I can see each of the headers for my columns of data. However, when I try to tap that wfs layer to display it in a mapserver, I instantly get a red x in the upper left corner and my map won't load. Even tyring to tap it in the same mapfile (as a wfs connection to the url) gives me errors. 
	 
	here is the layer attempting to tap the working layer (note, this is on a intranet):
	 
	 
	LAYER
	          NAME wfs_sightings_test
	          TYPE POINT
	          STATUS off
	          CONNECTIONTYPE WFS
	          CONNECTION " http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/fgs/apps/chameleon-2.0/test/map/test.map&typename=sightings2004_point <http://10.59.36.53:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/fgs/apps/chameleon-2.0/test/map/test.map&typename=sightings2004_point> &"
	          METADATA
	            "wfs_typename"          "sightings2004_point" 
	            "wfs_version"           "1.0.0"
	            "wfs_request_method"    "GET"
	            "wfs_connectiontimeout" "60"
	   "wms_srs" "epsg:4326" 
	          END
	        END # Layer
	 
	I've read every piece of documentation I've found, and searched every mailing list archive, and I've yet to see any reason why this should be happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
	 
	Thanks,
	 
	Matt
