[Mapserver-users] WMS Cllient for ArcView 3.X

[Paul Ramsey]

The error reported turned out to be caused by the following:

"The error was related to TILEIDEX and missing data raster data that 
GDAL was trying to find.  When crafting the ogc file I had guessed at 
the extents and was trying to map more data than I had. (Now I need to 
see why Mapserver/GDAL did not IGNORE_MISSING_DATA like it was supposed 
to.)"

I do not know where in the cycle that falls. Sounds like after mapfile 
parsing but before data (or during) eading.
