[mapserver-users] diff between shp2img and mapserv

[Steve Lime]

The biggest difference between the programs is in how layer STATUS is
interpreted. Shp2img
takes what's in the mapfile at face value. That is, if the STATUS is
ON/DEFAULT the layer is
drawn, if OFF it is not. Mapserv by default assumes a layer is OFF
unless explicitly requested
by the user (DEFAULT layers are always on). Shp2img also ignores
anything in the WEB section.

 Hi !
 I have made a few experiments and confirmed that shp2img does
 what I want whereas mapserv does not... Have nayone experienced that
 and could anyone give me some hints to know what i should look
 after in order to understand the problem ???
 Thanks in advance
