David,

Either add STATUS DEFAULT to your layer

or add &layer=Elevation to your URL string.

David.

I have installed ms4w on XP and am trying to display a simple map with the following map file.

MAP
  IMAGETYPE png
  SIZE 600 400
  EXTENT -120 49 -110 60
  UNITS dd
  SHAPEPATH "R:/GIS/"
  LAYER
    NAME "Elevation"
    TYPE raster
    DATA "srtm/elevation.tif"
  END
END

I am testing mapserv from the command line with the following command

mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=R:/Program_Dev/DHildebrand/geoprocessing_server/MapServer/sample.map&mode=map"

The following output is returned, which, I presume, is a PNG stream but there are no errors generated.

When but when I redirect the output to a *.png file, though, I simply get a blank white image.  Any clues?

Thanks.
