Hello,
I am trying to consume the WMS service provided by MapGuide. I am using Map
as the client application. I am not sure if my problem is in Map or in
MapGuide, so I am posting this here in case somebody has an idea.
In AutoCAD Map (2008) I set up a connection to my MapGuide server. To rule
out firewall issues, the MapGuide server is running on the same machine that
I am trying to connect from. First, I set the coordinate system of the dwg.
Then, I added a WMS connection in the Data Connect palette. Here is the URL
that I am using:
http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?service=WMS
After I click "Connect" I enter my MapGuide username and password. The Data
Connect dialog then shows me all of the available layers. The only layers
which are currently configured to show up are the Sheboygan sample layers.
It doesn't matter which layer I select, the result is always the same: Map
pops up a baloon warning that says "There was a problem adding data to Map.
Failed to get bands data. Unable to connect to the host.".
I find it difficult to believe that there would be a connection problem to
localhost, so I must be doing something wrong. Am I skipping a step? Any
ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can offer.
Jon
