[mapserver-users] Problems displaying tiffs and jpegs

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Nicole,

The .wld files are in some kind of projection in METERS. What does the
top of your mapfile look like? Have you specified a PROJECTION .. END?
What are your EXTENTS? What are your UNITS?

I think maybe these do not match your images. Which would account for
your images not showing up.
