Problems reading a TIF file (newbie question)

[Brent Fraser]

Ray,

  The size of the tiff file is ok, and it's mapserver job to resample it to
your smaller window.

  I notice that your LAYER definition is a little terse.  You may need to
include a NAME and STATUS:

  LAYER

    NAME "MyLayer"
    STATUS DEFAULT
    DATA "./data/PAGE48.TIF"
    TYPE RASTER
  END


You may want to test out the map file using MapServer's shp2img command line
program (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/utils.html)
