[Mapserver-users] 24bit Raster Image

[Angus J. Dickey]

Richie,

I had this same error and I believe it was because I had compiled
mapserver with both internal tiff and GDAL (with tiff option enabled)
support. 

To fix it I recompiled mapserver without internal tiff support
(--without-tiff) but with GDAL, the result is this:

#./mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.0.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=SDE INPUT=OGR
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

This fixed the error for me.

I am trying to add a 24bit raster image to my map without any success.
I get an error like this:

msDrawRaster(): Image handling error. Unrecognized or unsupported image
format 
drawEPP(): Image handling error.
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test_site\data\index\tifs\beedeville_ne.tif is not an
EPPL file.

I browsed the archives and saw some mention of a bug and having to
re-sample it down to an 8bit image.  I was wondering if there has been
fixes found for this error.  I would prefer not to create 8bit images
for a state wide ortho set (server space being limited).   Any help
would be great.  Thanks
