[Geomoose-users] Unsupported output format (image/png;bits=8)

I read all day about the outputs and it seems that it should display
everything ok even if I do not specify the outputformat.

Everything I modify returns *"msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): Image handling
error. Unsupported output format (image/png;bits=8)"*

Is it possible ?! to come from the following part:

WEB
METADATA
'ows_title' 'Parcel Maps'
'ows_srs' 'EPSG:26915 EPSG:4326 EPSG:900913 EPSG:4269 EPSG:2277'
'ows_enable_request' '*'
'ows_onlineresource' 'http://www.geomoose.org'
END
END

I did not use this before and I wonder if the MIMTYPE is somehow returned
all the time as png 8 bit. If I remove this part, again, I get an error.
