Simple WMS server using MapServer.

WMS Server

In last time i was instaled a Mapserver+nginx and show a wms layer in browser. Now i want to make a wms server. For this just needed make a correct map file. But before for make sure that MapServer installed correctly run this command in console:

  $ ./mapserv -v 

Output:

    MapServer version x.x.x OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ
    SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=JPEG 
    INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

If SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER is here - go ahead.

1.WMS Server map file:

  #Output projection
  PROJECTION
   "proj=latlong"
   "ellps=WGS84"
   "datum=WGS84"
  END

You can use another projection defenition:

  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:4326"
  END

But i it evoke an error:

  msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. no system list, errno: 13

For TEMPLATE block using for GetFeatureInfo(). You can find template samples here and extract tamplates,symbols,images and fonts folders into map files directory.

You can try generate a map file using a MapManager.

Check what we have:

   http://MyHost/map/?map=/srv/www/maps/rew.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilitiess

In answer you get a xml file with you wms server settings.

2.Client side

On client side i have a application useing Leaflet so i just add a new layer:

   var wms_server = "http://MyHost/map/?map=/srv/www/maps/rew.map&"
   var NewLayer = new L.tileLayer.wms(wms_server, {
     layers: 'limite',
     format: 'image/png',
     transparent: true,
     srs:"EPSG:4326"
   });
   map.addLayer(NewLayer);
