Raster Layers

Not common, but you should rebuild MapServer WITHOUT "INPUT=TIFF"
support.  I'm assuming your rasters are TIFF images, and the GDAL
library provides much better support for TIFF than the former standalone
TIFF library.  If I recall correctly, I think the default configuration
does not include INPUT=TIFF support, so you may have added it when you
configured MapServer.  Reconfigure it without TIFF support and you'll
let GDAL provide TIFF support.

If you still have trouble, please provide more details about the image
you're using and how you're using it.  Thanks!

I've installed MapServer 4.4.1, and shapefiles are rendering well, but
raster layers are not. This is on Debian, and GDAL was installed from
APT. (MapServer is *not* in APT.) Info:

./mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

The GDAL utilities (gdalinfo, gdal_translate) appear to work fine --
I'm just not getting rasters from MapServer.

Common problem?
