[mapserver-users] Simple MrSid map file

[Brent Fraser]

Ken,

  I don't use MrSID, but here are some general things to look at:

1. Does your MrSID file have geo-referencing and coordinate system
definition information with it?  Use GDAL's "gdalinfo" to find out.

2. Do your EXTENTS (with the related PROJECTION and UNITS) in the map file
actually cover/intersect the MrSID file?

3. Check your DATA value in the map file's LAYER.  Is the path correct? 
Is Mapserver able to access the file?
