The latest release of Mapserver can also act as a tile server as well, see here: http://mapserver.org/output/tile_mode.html

Hi,

I'm not very clear about the concept of map server v.s. tile server. Can a
map server be used as a mip server? Is that a normal way of doing tile
server.

Here is what I have,

I have a collection of NATIF files that I need to serve them in a map client
(in OpenLayers, via WMS), sevring these cadrg files as base map. In other
words, these CADRG files together is  the base map. Clients will zoom, in
and out, pam, and so on.

How do I make a base map? Use Map Server? Use gdaltinex commnad? shpe file?
And, I need it to serve with WMS commands

Anyone please help with your idea.

Thanks.

JK
