[mapserver-users] MapCache and a transparent layer

[Evans, James R Civ USAF ACC 84 RADES/SCZE]

Hi,
If I select the "States" layer, I see the borders in blue, with red labals for the states, over a white background.  I see the same thing if I remove the <TRANSPARENT> tag.  I checked the xml file that is stored in my client cache, and it is virtually identical whether I'm hitting the mapcache or going to the WMS directly.

What do you see if you use the MapCache demo? E.g.  http://myserver/mapcache/demo

Hi,
I'm trying to get mapchache working, and I have one layer that I can not
figure out.  I have a states boundaries layer, all vector data, and it works
fine when reading from the WMS.  I added it as a layer in my mapcache.xml,
and I can not get it to be transparent.  I've added
<TRANSPARENT>true</TRANSPARENT> to the params in the source.  If I look at
the .png files that are stored in the cache, they appear to be transparent,
but when my client tries to display the boundaries, they have a black
background and obscure the other layers.  If I look in the cache of my
client, at the.dds files that it saves, they all have a black background.
If I look at the.dds files the client saves when hitting the WMS directly,
they appear to have a transparent background.  Below are my source, and
tileset from the mapcache.xml.  Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
James
