Problem with map file serving WMS - tiff

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

I've had the most luck with using absolute paths in tileindexes.

How did you generate your tileindex? If you generate it from the root of
your drive you should get absolute paths.

So:

cd \
for /r %i in (*.tif) do gdaltindex mytileindex.shp %i

Alternatively, you can try and set SHAPEPATH to
/ms4w/apps/chameleon/samples/data/topo/

Best regards,
Bart
