[mapserver-users] Trouble with mode=tile

Dave,

- Remove the PROJECTION block from the MAP level (leave the one at the
LAYER level). Tile mode constructs its own output projection object,
it doesn't need map file configuration for the output projection, just
the inputs.
- Confirm that the shape file you are using *is* in fact epsg:4326
- Try manually accessing the service using tile=0 or tile=1, and see
what comes back
- Show some pictures of "wrong" in your next mail
