Error "Cannot retrieve the WMS server capabilities"

Date de publication: Apr 13, 2024
Description

When adding a URL in the Add WMS Map dialog, the following error may occur:

Cannot retrieve the WMS server capabilities.

Cause

The URL entered does not point to a WMS service.
Résolution
Use a valid URL for a WMS Service. 

For assistance with obtaining the correct URL for your WMS service, contact the WMS server administrator, or the publisher of the WMS service.
Ressources supplémentaires
Being able to load a URL in a web browser is not a sufficient test to verify that the URL is for a WMS service. For example, the following URL loads in a web browser, but gives the above error when entered in the Add WMS Map dialog:
http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Imagery/MapServer

However, the WMS link on the above page http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/services/public/NSW_Imagery/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS can be added using the Add WMS Map dialog.

Other examples of URLs for WMS services include:
  • http://maps.heigit.org/osm-wms/service?
  • https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gebco_web_services/2019/mapserv?
  • http://giswebservices.massgis.state.ma.us/geoserver/wms?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1
Use Web Map Service (WMS) Servers
