[mapserver-users] problem with raster data..

[MeLv1n wAuRaN]

Ok so basically it is done right? it created sample_index.dbf, sample_index.shp, and sample_index.shx. Now, which file should i load into the .MAP as my basemap?

An example from Robert Sanson:

LAYER
  NAME nz250ktm
  GROUP "Toposcans"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
  TILEINDEX ../data/nztm/250k_index
  TILEITEM Location
  MAXSCALE 300000
  MINSCALE 75000

well, this is a layer right? what i mean is, this tile index will be the basemap of the map instead of a layer, for example llike:

MAP
   NAME "..........."
   STATUS ........
   EXTENT ....................
   IMAGETYPE ........
   SIZE ..............
   SHAPEPATH "......................."
   IMAGECOLOR .........
   .........
   .........
   .........
END


or is this tileindex supposed to be a layer instead of a basemap?

This error is ok, it is just telling you that the index file does not already
exist and it is creating a new one. gdaltindex appends to an existing file so
keep that in mind if you need to add to your tileindex.

This says that there are no files in the current directory named sample*.tif
what does a dir command respond with?
