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

Hi Patrick,

My guess is there is some issue validating your wmsConfig.xml file. 
ThreddsWMSController tries to read that file and for validating it uses 
a dtd that lives in 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/schemas/thredds/dtd/ncwms/wmsConfig.dtd and 
that might cause the connection issues.
Can  you try the attached wmsConfig.xml, that has an internal dtd?

Cheers!
