[Mapserver-users] EXTENT and PROJECTION

[Ed McNierney]

Ethan -

OK - the colored background confirms that you're creating a valid map
image, and that MapServer is concluding (for whatever reason) that your
TIF image doesn't need to be rended in the map request.

How exactly are you using MapServer to create this image?  That is, what
is the URL you're using?  Are you using a copied "starter" form template
(like the demo) with a "show me the map" button on it?  If so, check to
see if that form is specifying the image extents - if it does, it will
overrule anything in the MAP file.

Thanks all!

I just worked through some of the suggestions.

I do have mapserver running and I'm able to display the file
mod09a12003161_ugl_ll_idxa.tif with no problems. I would assume had I
screwed up something in the installation that affected image display
capabilities that I would not be able to display this file.

I did have both tiff and gdal compiled and I followed Pericles
suggestion and recompiled. This had no affect. I did change the
IMAGECOLOR and I do get a big colored square now.

I have also ruled out any permisions/path problems. 

I will now try messing with the extents and the units of the extents but
nothing I've tried so far has given me anything different.
