[Mapserver-users] Problem with raster images

[Ed McNierney]

Martin -

Do you have a world file (.TFW) of the same root name as the TIF file in the same directory?  You need to have the geographic reference information to go with the TIF so MapServer knows how to locate it geographically.  If you don't have such a file, you need one.  If you do have such a file, could you post the contents?  It's a six-line text file.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Problem with raster images


Im trying to configure mapserver to show a background image but it's not working and Im not sure why:
my ex1.map has:
LAYER # Shaded Relief Raster
  NAME "coso"
  DATA "jul.tif"
  STATUS ON
  TYPE RASTER
END

but when I render the map, it shows all the other layers except this one. I've tried moving the file (jul.tif) to the same dir than ex1.map and the shapepath dir, but it still doesn't works.

Then, I straced mapserver and I found that it nevers try to open the file jul.tif, so I guess there's a configuration problem, but I've no idea where it is.

Some extra info:

------------

../mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.6.3 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=SHAPEFILE

------------

SHAPEPATH "/opt/runa/mapserver/shapes/"

LAYER # start of the "states" layer object

  END # end of class object
END # end of layer object
LAYER # start of the "states" layer object
  NAME "states"
  DATA "cari-lot"
  STATUS DEFAULT

  END # end of class object
END # end of layer object
LAYER # Shaded Relief Raster
  NAME "coso"
  DATA "jul.tif"
  STATUS ON
  TYPE RASTER
END

END # end of map file
----------

pd: Where can I find a log with mapserv errors?
