Problems reading a TIF file (newbie question)

[Brent Fraser]

Ray,

   I see that Frank and blaise have already commented on the pathing and
file naming.  The LAYER's DATA value is relative to the SHAPEPATH, so if you
have

    SHAPEPATH "./data/"

your DATA statement should look like:

    DATA "PAGE48.TIF"  (or DATA "page48.tif" if you've followed Frank's
suggestion)


I'm not  a Linux guy but you may want to try

SHAPEPATH "data/"

as I'm not sure Mapserver recognizes "./" as a relative path...

Brent
