G'Day List,
We're having some troubles with our GeoServer 2.1.2 WMS.
Just wandering around looking for clues, I clicked on the Service Capabilities link to [WMS 1.1.1] from the right sidebar oof the GeoServer Welcome page, and got the XML response:
<ows:ExceptionText>No workspace specified</ows:ExceptionText>
Is this expected?

If you have disabled the global services, it is, only the per workspace capabilities
call work, which the GUI does not provide links for.

Hmm… I guess it would be a nice addition to hide/disable the global links if the
global services are disabled, and replace them with some sort of a table
providing all the per workspace ones… or something like that.

Cheers

My site, www.autismmaps.org was not working properly when i first saw Andrea’s email (data was not being returned to a popup box on a mouse click), but is now. I assume the problem is fixed???

For future reference, is there anything that can be done to circumvent the problem if it occurs again?

Andrea,

Thanks for your reply…it was indeed the fact that Global Services had been (inadvertently) turned off.

Now, turning them back, we get an xml response from WMS1.3.0, which is good.

But WMS1.1.1 tries to return a xx_wms mimetype, which usually means something is broken in the WMS.

So again I’m stuck here on how to find the problem from:
http://74.50.62.108:8080/geoserver/ows?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities

Sorry to be blind…hopefully my stumbling through the “silly mistakes” assists with the effort to ruggedise the software!

Kind regards,

JB
