About ShapeTree and Raster TileIndex

[Bart van den Eijnden]

You should not use the qix entension directly in the TILEINDEX. Mapserver
will handle that part for you behind the scenes.

Use
TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000.shp"

Or:
TILEINDEX "MSRAS_12000"

My experience is that Mapserver only finds the qix file (and uses it) in
the latter case.

Best regards,
Bart
