[mapserver-users] mapfile

[David Hildebrand]

I have installed ms4w on XP and am trying to display a simple map with the following map file.

 

MAP

  IMAGETYPE png

  SIZE 600 400

  EXTENT -120 49 -110 60

  UNITS dd

  SHAPEPATH "R:/GIS/"

  LAYER

    NAME "Elevation"

    TYPE raster

    DATA "srtm/elevation.tif"

  END

END

 

I am testing mapserv from the command line with the following command

 

mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=R:/Program_Dev/DHildebrand/geoprocessing_server/MapServer/sample.map&mode=map"

 

The following output is returned, which, I presume, is a PNG stream but there are no errors generated.

When but when I redirect the output to a *.png file, though, I simply get a blank white image.  Any clues?

 

Thanks.
