[mapserver-dev] can mapserver serve xyz

[Richard Greenwood]

I'm not sure what you're trying to do so apologizes if I'm stating the
obvious, but MapServer is a rendering engine that takes raw data (vector
and/or raster) and returns a rasterized representation of that data based
on the request. That may be a single image or multiple tiles depending on
the request. If you already have tiles then you don't need MapServer. Your
client (QGIS, OpenLayers, etc.) can fetch those tiles directly. Neither of
the query strings that you've pasted into the email look valid to me so I'm
not surprised that you're not getting any results.
