[mapserver-users] Σχετ: Mapserver can't read mapfile

[Stefanos Anastasiou]

Hi Jeff,

I came to this old post once again and I tried the above mentioned. shp2img still produces an image which is blank or whatever the color of the mapfile is defined. On the other hand I checked the EXTENT once again and it was wrong so I changed to the appropriate one (EXTENT 17.00 33.00 32.00 42.00) which I checked on QGIS in WGS84 so it should be fine. If STATUS is set to default or On there's no difference. I also changed TYPE to line and polygon just to be sure but nothing. 

My shapefile is a polygon with boundaries.  Why wouldn't it appear on the browser?

Thanks again and I'm sorry for writing about it so late.

Stefanos

Hi sorry long thread and I bet this has already been said, but here were
my thoughts when I read your problems:

- always test your mapfile at the commandline first, using the shp2img
utility (http://mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html).  Once your layers
look find there in the generated map image then move to your application

- if using MapServer CGI (mode=map), a blank map often means you are not
specifically telling MapServer to turn on layers; try adding &LAYERS=all

- or setting each of your layer's STATUS values to DEFAULT might work
(but this can cause lots of trouble later, so this is not often recommended)
