PNG Output.

[Fawcett, David]

Ryan, 

Go to the commandline (or shell) and run your mapserver executable with the -v command.  

-cd to the directory that it is in

then at the prompt, type 'mapserv -v'

Frank,

Thanks for responding so quickly.

How do I look at the configuration file?  So I can use the "mapserv -v"
command.

Ryan,

Any chance your MapServer build lacks PNG support?  What
does your "mapserv -v" report look like?

Best regards,
