[Mapserver-users] Can binary release of MapServer 4.0 for Windows able to manage ECW raster files?

[Pericles Nacionales]

Well, it should.  All the win32 binaries from the MapServer site are
compiled with ECW support (through GDAL).  However, I have note tested
them so I can't really say that it works.  But then again, I know some
people who use it and it works properly.  I bet you a pretty penny it's
got something to do with either your paths or your extents.  Is your shape
path a subdirectory of the directory containing your  mapfile?  Try adding
the full path to your ecw file, ie: DATA
"c:/some/directory/for/your/S21301.ecw" and quickly test it with this URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map="c:/some/directory/for/your/mapfile.map&layer=S21301&mode=map

Does it work?  If not, check your extent.  Do you have an extra zero in
there somewhere? 500004?

Good luck!
