[Mapserver-users] mapserv cgi and raster layers

[Andrew]

I have a correction...I found the correct use of DEBUG in the docs and 
traced the cgi mapserv process. The landsat file failes with 
 "msDrawMap() Image handling" error, the tiff files abort the cgi before 
any log is made. Removing the offending tiffs from the path and trying 
to map them anyway gives "normal execution" concerning the missing rsater.
