Bernhard -

You need to set STATUS DEFAULT to make the layer turn on automatically.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Problems getting mapserver to run w/ bitmap
images

Hi, 
I'm trying to set up mapserver w/ an input file in tif format (map of the local area, 1280x1024). 
Even the simplest example doesn't seem to work though (the mapserver installation is ok though, the itasca 
example works perfectly). 

Support for bitmap formats is compiled in; mapserv -v says: 
MapServer version 3.6.5 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ 
SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=GDAL 
INPUT=SHAPEFILE 

This is the map file I'm using: 

MAP 
        NAME "TEST" 
        EXTENT 0 0 1280 800 
        SIZE 1280 800 
        SHAPEPATH "/var/www/mapserver/data" 
        IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255 

        WEB 
                TEMPLATE test.html 
                IMAGEPATH "/var/www/mapserver/tmp/" 
                IMAGEURL "/mapserver/tmp/" 
        END 

        LAYER 
                NAME "map" 
                DATA "tiled.tif" 
                TYPE RASTER 
                STATUS ON 
        END 
END 

This is the launcher html: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"> 
<html> 
<head> 
<title>Test</title> 
<body> 
<h3>Mapserver test install</h3> 
<img border="1" 
src="/cgi-map/mapserv?map=test.map&mode=map&map_web_imagepath=/var/www/mapserver/tmp/&map_web_imageurl=/mapserver/tmp/"> 
</body> 
</html> 

I don't get any error messages (even a mv mapserv mapserv.bin; echo 'strace -o /tmp/mapserv.trace 
mapserv.bin' >mapserv; chmod +x mapserv isn't too helpful - apparently mapserv doesn't even attempt to read 
the tif file), just a wrong result (1x1 png image). 

Am I overlooking anything obvious? 

Thanks, 
Bernhard
