Tileindex of DGN's being opened as shapefile layer

[Delfos, Jacob]

Hi All,

I'm having some trouble creating a tile-index of DGN's, using php_mapscript (Chameleon). My tileindex is a shapefile. But I think the layer should be treated as OGR, yet the connectiontype seems to indicate it thinks it is a shapefile layer. According to my PHP log, it tries to open it as a shapefile, which obviously fails:

[20-Feb-2006 14:45:49] PHP Warning:  [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named 'DGNs'.
 in C:\chameleon\htdocs\common\wrapper\drawmap.php on line 560
[20-Feb-2006 14:45:49] PHP Warning:  [MapServer Error]: msTiledSHPOpenFile(): Unable to open a single tile to use as a template in layer DGNs.

I based my layer definition on http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/ogr_howto/#tileindex-with-ogr :

LAYER
  NAME "DGNs"
  TYPE LINE
  STYLEITEM "AUTO"
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
  TILEINDEX "dindex.shp,0"
  STATUS ON
  CLASS
     COLOR 150 150 150
  END
END

The DBF of the shapefile has 1 column, with these values:

location
C:\data\10nwa.dgn,0
C:\data\10nwb.dgn,0

I am using php_mapscript 4.6.1, with php 5.05. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Regards,

Jacob
