[ms4w-users] using ms4w as a WMS server

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

 

I am using MS4W 2.3.1 with the Mapserver 5.2.2 upgrade and Geomoose as a
client.  I would like to know how to set up a WMS server.  I started to
follow the instructions in the mapserver documentations however I how to
format the "wms_onlineresource" correctly.

 

The mapfile is located at c:\ms4w\apps\geomoose2\maps\data\transit\roads.map

 

1)  Would my online resource be:

 

"wms_onlineresource"
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=c:\ms4w\apps\geomoose2\maps\data\transi
t\roads.map&"

 

2)  would I supply the same connection string to my clients?

 

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=c:\ms4w\apps\geomoose2\maps\data\transit
\roads.map&

 

p.s. yes I do realize that I am using localhost.  I will change that to my
actual server once I get things running.
