<DIV>Nasir,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You haven't actually specified an output format in your mapfile. Look
at:</DIV>
<DIV><A
href="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html#outputformat">http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html#outputformat</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You must have an output format in there with a name that matches your
imagetype. Your outputformat contain the instructions on what kind of image to
create for that imagetype. Once your put the outputformat object in there (can
be more than 1), your imagetype should work.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It probably works when you commented it out because mapserver uses a
default imagetype if it cannot find any output format object in the
mapfile.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
