[mapserver-users] combine many georeferenced tifs in one layer

Mon Mar 10 10:53:23 PDT 2008

not using the suffix causes mapserver to look for .shp and .qix which is 
the quadtree index file. Using .shp suffix causes mapserver looking for 
foo.shp.qix and not finding it, and not using your foo.qix
