[Mapserver-users] Been trying all afternoon . . .

[Bob Basques]

All,

Ok, I've been trying to get this working all afternoon.

Trying to generate a PNG from a TILEINDEX of tiled PNG's (8bit I think 
with Alpha transparency)

As far as I can tell, the Tile indexes are fine, this same general
format (except for the OUTPUTFORMAT chunk works just fine for JPEG's)

Right now I get an image that is all Light green, it's popping out as a
PNG as well, so the mime type is right

The images that MapServer should be reading from are like this:

http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/cp_tiles/2002_property/L1T/570000_160000_1000_12_2002_SAINT_PAUL.PNG

I created these with GD (for the transparent backgrounds), so they
should be readable by MapServer.  I did try the GDAL/PNG with no
success, I'm wondering if I still don't have the MINSCALE/MAXSCALE thing
correct, to test this I commented them all out and left only one LAYER
uncommented to see if anything would be output, still nothing, it must
be a format thing, right?

Here is the MapFile at this point:
