[maplab-users] Map Browser Error

[Zak James]

Rodrigo,

The server you mentioned has been upgraded since Maplab was released
and now requires the service parameter to be set when requesting
capabilities.

You can either modify the php code in
C:\ms4w\apps\maplab-2.2.1\htdocs\common\phpwms\server_data_manager.php
so that it adds SERVICE=WMS to the url or you can change the url you
are requesting to be

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?SERVICE=WMS&

You will have to make the same change for other urls or places in the
code that generate urls.

Since Maplab is no longer being developed or maintained, you may want
to consider an alternative such as QGIS (http://qgis.org) which can
make WMS connections and export mapserver mapfiles.
