[GeoNetwork-users] Need help configuring geonetwork to use WMS

Willem_Nieuwenhuis · October 19, 2006, 3:08pm

I have Mapserver and Geonetwork (v2.0.2) running (both locally still).

I use the following WMS request to display some data:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:/ms4w/apps/GDI/gdi.map&SERVIC
E=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-18,25,52,55&FORMA
T=image/gif&WIDTH=640&HEIGHT=480&LAYERS=region,gdi

I want to add a link in geonetwork to this request.

1. I tried to add it as interactive map (OpenGIS Map service (ver
1.1.1)) in the linkage field.
   The Intermap window is opened, the layer is populated, but no image
is displayed (small red cross in the
   internet explorer). Now I read in an earlier E-mail that the WMS
server should be put in the linkage field
   and the layer in the Name field;
   But in that case where do all the other parameters go? Do I need to
configure Intermap for this? If so, how?

   BTW: if I put the server in the linkage and the layer in the name
field the request generated by
        geonetwork is:
http:/localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe&service=region&type=2’: I thought
service should
        be "WMS".

2. I also tried to add it as an online resource (Web Address (URL)) and
using the complete request as the URL. Unfortunately geonetworks
prepends http://localhost:8080/ in front of the URL

Appreciate any help

Hi Willem,

You're right, WMS server base url should be put in the linkage field and the
layer in the Name field. So in your case,
Linkage = http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:/ms4w/apps/GDI/gdi.map
Name = region,gdi
Select protocol = Open GIS WMS 1.1.1.

All other wms parameters will be defined by Intermap

I think problem come from your "?map=C:/" parameter in the url parameter.
Try to create an alias for your WMS in your web server.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/mapservice(.*)
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:/ms4w/apps/GDI/gdi.map&$1

If you use "Add Layer" button in intermap does it work ?

HTH. Francois

Hi Francois,

Your information did help me out partly.
We have a very simple WMS setup without an application build around
the data. I followed your info and changed the linkage field to include
the link to the map-file. This allowed me to see what Mapserver received
as a request. It turns out that Intermap sends the request as:
/gdi/index.html?SERVIVE=WMS&...
But because we do not have an index.html this of course fails.

The "Add Layer" in Intermap does work: it will add the layer, but
again the request fails (same problem)

As to your suggestion about configuring MapServer to translate the
request URL: I must admit that this is completely new to me. I think
I rather create a simple WMS application to handle the Intermap requests
sometime soon.

Thanks

Willem
