[THREDDS #GIL-658582]: http 500 errors with wms service

Hi Patrick,

I'm guessing that if you are running a new installation of the TDS directly 
from a new war file, that perhaps you haven't set up WMS as an allowed service. 
 You do this in ThreddsConfig by uncommenting the relevant section and setting 

<WMS>
  <allow>true</allow>
</WMS>

Let me know if that isn't what's going on, and we'll dig deeper.
