Hi!

The problem was with the missing absolute path in shape table. Thanks Jukka.

Check this field and think if Mapserver should be able to find the images by that. If your images are not located in the same directory as your SHAPEPATH is you must create tileindex so that it includes the whole path to images (for example: gdaltindex catalog.shp c:\imagery\*.tif)

If you have very many big images included in tileindex you might reach the server timeout limit. For me with tiff files without overviews the 300 second timeout hits if my request means rendering some 10 gigabytes of original imagery.
