I tried to connect WMS from my MapServer 7.0.4 in QGIS 2.18.3 (QGIS 2.10.1 too) but it failed with error:

Map request error (Status: 200; Response: <HTML>
            <HEAD><TITLE>MapServer Message</TITLE></HEAD>
            <!-- MapServer version 7.0.4 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=KML SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=CAIRO SUPPORTS=SVG_SYMBOLS SUPPORTS=SVGCAIRO SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE -->
            <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">

I think there is a problem with "?" in a request GetMap. A correct one should be:

...wmstest.map&SERVICE=WMS....

and QGIS make a link:

...wmstest.map**?**&SERVICE=WMS....

Here is my link for connecting WMS (not accessible from internet):

http://192.168.0.127/mapserver/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=D:\MapServer\map\wmstest.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

Can someone explain me?

my map file contents:

"wms_onlineresource" "http://192.168.0.127/mapserver/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=D:\MapServer\map\wmstest.map?"

I tried it without "?" at the end, but it didn't work. A request GetMap works fine in my browser (without that "?").

  • you could use an environment variable to set the map file location to avoid this

  • I would rather suspect wrong configuration in the mapfile. What do you have in "wms_onlineresource"?

  • I made a test with QGIS 2.18.7 with same kind of setting and it does work for me. Delete your old connection, make sure to have "wms_onlineresource" "http://192.168.0.127/mapserver/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=D:\MapServer\map\wmstest.map" and use the same URL for connecting your server. A workaround that you should not need to use is to check the Ignore GetMap/GetTile URI reported in capabilities.

  • ? is correct it separates the endpoint of the service from the query parameters, such as map=&, request=GetMap&, ...

Thank you for help, it works now. I deleted old connection and use http://192.168.0.127/mapserver/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=D:\MapServer\map\wmstest.map for connecting my MapServer. I edited wms_onlineresource too.
