[Mapserver-users] Raster layer and Projection

[Jan Hartmann]

Frauke,

Please please please set "STATUS DEFAULT". This is a "rite de passage" 
every MapServer user has to go through. Is there any kind-hearted person 
who can explain why we need STATUS DEFAULT in addition to STATUS OFF and 
STATUS ON? If you want to set layers on via the URL, you can just as 
well use STATUS OFF in the MapFile.
