I've tested my WFS with
http://192.168.1.95/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:/myprojects/mun.map&LAYERS=Municipality&MODE=MAP

and all is fine i can see my data. And i see the states one time.

when i try to add it in Open Layers with:

<script type="text/javascript">
var map, layer, select, hover, control;

function init(){
OpenLayers.ProxyHost= "proxy.cgi?url=";
map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', {
controls: [
new OpenLayers.Control.PanZoom(),
new OpenLayers.Control.Permalink(),
new OpenLayers.Control.Navigation()
]
});
layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
"States WMS/WFS",
"
http://192.168.1.95/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:/myprojects/mun.map&LAYERS=Municipality&MODE=MAP
",
{layers: 'Municipality:MN_NAME', format: 'image/gif'}
);
select = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Selection", {styleMap:
new
OpenLayers.Style(OpenLayers.Feature.Vector.style["select"])
});
hover = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Hover");
map.addLayers([layer, hover, select]);

control = new OpenLayers.Control.GetFeature({
protocol: OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.fromWMSLayer(layer),
box: true,
hover: true,
multipleKey: "shiftKey",
toggleKey: "ctrlKey"
});
control.events.register("featureselected", this, function(e) {
select.addFeatures([e.feature]);
});
control.events.register("featureunselected", this, function(e) {
select.removeFeatures([e.feature]);
});
control.events.register("hoverfeature", this, function(e) {
hover.addFeatures([e.feature]);
});
control.events.register("outfeature", this, function(e) {
hover.removeFeatures([e.feature]);
});
map.addControl(control);
control.activate();

// map.setCenter(new
OpenLayers.Bounds(-140.444336,25.115234,-44.438477,50.580078).getCenterLonLat(),
3);
}
</script>

i see the states many time and not only one time! And i cannot "Query"
datas Why?

My guess would be an issue with SRS (mismatch between what OL thinks is
the SRS and what it actually is). Using chrome developer tools or
firebug, use the NET tab and see exactly what the WFS request looks
like. That should give you some big hints as to the nature of the problem.

1. I can see this many times:
<img class="olTileImage" style="visibility: inherit; opacity: 1;
position: absolute; left: 1565px; top: 76px; width: 256px; height: 256px;"
src="
http://192.168.1.95/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:/myprojects/mun.map&LAYERS=Municipality&MODE=MAP&FORMAT=image%2Fgif&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=45,45,90,90&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256
">

Do i have to change epsg in mapfile or in OL?

now i've this mapfile:
http://pastebin.com/rqjMnjuL

and from firebug i see always this:

Please keep on list so others might help.

Show you map, and then do the GETFeature click that is returning
everything. It is a call on the NET table with request=GetFeatureInfo in
it (and of particular interest will be the bbox and SRS).

I have never user Mapserver so not able to help there, but general
design is for OL to set the project and to pass requests to the WMS
server specifying the SRS that it is using. I could not see any SRS
specified on your map config so I guess it defaults to 4326. You might
want to reconsider this as 4326 (more or les Plate Carre) has no
redeeming features as a projection at all, but this isnt relevant to the
problem at hand. It looks to me like the getfeatureinfo request in OL is
sending a request that mapserver interprets as asking for a bbox over
the whole area. You might improve things somewhat by setting up the map
with maxextent etc.

Thanks for the answer!

I cannot understand why the same thing is replyed 19 times. I can see 19
times Getmapserve.exe in Net button of firebug, with same code

LAYERS=ALL
MAP=C:/myprojects/case.map

These are the getmap requests that build your map, one first each tile.
This is normal and not a problem. Have a look at the getfeatureinfo one
however.

btw: the proxy works?
try to build a sample page that runs inside your mapserver.
or even better: download a geoserver package, and the build an html
page that works without proxy, publishing it inside data_dir\www, and
that uses "states" layers.
So you can post here and we can debug easily what's happening.

As i told before the problem is not mapserver because if i put in my
browser:

http://192.168.1.95/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:/myprojects/mun.map&LAYERS=Municipality&MODE=MAP

i can see my map!

inspecting with firebug:

of course your wfs works, but OL app needs a proxy. try to check with
firebug if actual "proxy.cgi" calls works...

i've edited also another WFS Example but i still cannot see my layer..

The layer is a of some municipality of south Africa.. i cannot see them

This is the webpage that i edited
http://gisnewbye.hopto.org/openlayers/examples/wfs-states.html

so you can debug with firebug and maybe help me :)

Perhaps making this public would help. My understanding is that WFS was
working but returning too many features? Or am I getting confused with
another person? However, if you are not seeing POST requests to WFS in
the NET console, then this could be a proxy problem. You must have a
working proxy to use any ajax-type functionality otherwise the browser
security blocks the requests. GETs for fetch the map image dont need a
proxy.

sorry bou your WMS is "broken" I see a map repeated multiple times.
this is a problem related to Mapserver, nothing related to OL usage.

Definitely a mis configured WMS -
http://gisnewbye.hopto.org/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:/myprojects/mun.map&LAYERS=ALL&MODE=MAP&service=wms&request=getcapabilities&version=1.1.0
should
return XML not an image. (in fact all requests seem to return this image
hence the repetition).

@Gis Newbie: Try configuring mapserver with data and config from
ms-ogc-workshop: http://mapserver.github.io/ms-ogc-workshop
So you can be sure that server-side is right, and see how is the
problem in your mapserver config.

He should leave out the &layers=all&mode=map part from the WMS url in OpenLayers, this is the MapServer CGI interface and will interfere with WMS.
