Bernhard,
I'm not sure if your EXTENT matches the coordinates of the TIFF
.wld-file, but you have to set STATUS DEFAULT anyway to see somehing.
STATUS ON only shows those maps that are specifically requested in the
URL: .../mapserv?map=...&layers=...
MapServer's golden rule #1: If you don't see anything, set STATUS
DEFAULT and check your EXTENT.
Couldn't we create a separate mailing list for this problem?
