I would appreciate any help I can get on getting this map to work...

Reuven,

A couple of things to try:

1.  Set the STATUS  of each layer to 'default'.  When a layer status is
set to 'on', you need to specify the layer name in the URL to display or
query it.  Default will make it show up.

2.  If that doesn't work, comment out your projection info.  If all of
your layers are in the same projection, you don't need to include
projection info in your Map file.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the list.
I just started working on a project, and as the first
order of business I need to get mapserver up and
running (which I have done).  However I tried to get
my own thing working (Spend a lot of hours reading),
and I am still having some trouble.

This is actually one of the demos, so it should work,
but by image is coming back blank white.

Here is the map file (reuven.map):

MAP
    NAME REUVEN
    STATUS ON
    IMAGETYPE PNG
    SIZE 800 500
    SHAPEPATH
"E:/Dev/Tools/mapserver/workshop/reuven/data/"
    EXTENT -6086744.000 -2784127 4278894 4485901
    UNITS METERS
    PROJECTION "proj=laea" "lat_0=45" "lon_0=-100"
"ellps=GRS80" "datum=NAD83" END
                WEB
                        IMAGEPATH "E:/Dev/Source/web/workshop/tmp/"
                        IMAGEURL "/workshop/tmp/"
                        TEMPLATE "reuven.html"
                END

                LAYER
                        NAME "lights"
                        TYPE RASTER
                        STATUS ON
                        DATA
"E:/Dev/Tools/mapserver/workshop/reuven/data/nitelti020l.tif"
                END

                LAYER
                        NAME "boundaries"
                        TYPE POLYGON
                        STATUS ON
                        DATA "statesp020"
                        PROJECTION
                                "proj=latlong"
                                "ellps=GRS80"
                                "datum=NAD83"
                        END
                        CLASS
                                NAME "US states"
                                OUTLINECOLOR 50 50 50
                                SYMBOL 0
                        END
                END

END


All of the files are under the following directory:
"E:/Dev/Tools/mapserver/workshop/reuven/data/"
(including: nitelti020l.tif and
statesp020.shp/shx/dbf)

This is the template contents (reuven.html in same
directory as map file):
<input type="image" name="img" src="[img]"
width="[mapwidth]" height="[mapheight]" border="0"
alt="this is the map">


I am calling the server with the following URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?&map=E:/Dev/Source/web/workshop/reuven.map


Version information:
MapServer version 4.2.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG
OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF
 OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLI
ENT INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

I am sure the problem is something simple, but I am
just not seeing it.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Sincerely,
Reuven
