[mapserver-users] Map is OK with shp2img but blank with CGI

[Benoît Andrieu]

Hi,

which version of mapserver are you using ?

In the actual version, and as expected from the specifications, some 
parameters are mandatory such as :
width, height
srs
styles
version
request

But maybe I am wrong and the mode=map is doing something else..

Hope it helps !!
