To increase the maximum size that MapServer will generate, add the MAXSIZE keyword to you mapfile (in the MAP section)<BR>
<BR>
eg<BR>
<BR>
MAXSIZE 8000<BR>
<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
There is an open ticket (<a href="http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-55.html">http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-55.html</a>) for something somewhat related but it offers some good advice on what I am trying to do, however the maximum size that Mapserver allows you to request is 2048 x 2048, and my current viewport is 757 which scales like: 757 (old size) * 300 (new resolution that is good for 300 dpi according to ticket) / 72 (old resolution) = 3154.1666666666666666666666666667 which is way to big to request from Mapserver.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone have experience with this? <BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
