[mapserver-users] wrong tileindex path make mapserver 6 crash

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello,

When I need info like that during testing of tileindexes, I always use 
the shp2img commandline utility 
(http://www.mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html) with the "-all_debug" 
switch (see examples on that page).

Hope that helps.
