[OpenLayers-Dev] Mapserver Mosaics with Tileindex

[Pedro Simonetti Garcia]

Hi Jeff,

I never worked with MapServer + Tile Mosaics + OpenLayers, so I don't
have much to share with you.

But here goes a small suggestion. Have you ever tried to use the
"shp2img" command line tool to verify if MapServer is rendering
correctly the mapfile? If you can't generate a proper image with
shp2img it may indicate that you have a problem in your mapfile
configuration.

I hope this helps,

Pedro Simonetti.
