[Mapserver-users] simple mapserver configuration

[Eric Sokolowsky]

I am trying to use mapserver as a simple WMS interface into data images
that I already have.  I would prefer to have a very light server that
does not reproject images or convert to different formats.  I tried to
set up mapserver and I got all of the pieces to compile.  The
capabilities is returned as expected.  However, when I try to use a wms
client or a web browser to formulate some queries, all I get is a blank
image.  Is mapserver capable of acting as a very light server?  How can
I use mapserver to serve any image that isn't blank?  My server's
location is listed here, if anyone is interested:

  http://svsdev.gsfc.nasa.gov/esok/cgi-bin/map?

When run locally, mapserv -v returns:

MapServer version 4.0.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Here's my map file:
