[OpenLayers-Users] Displaying the whole world centered on Pacific

[Paul Spencer]

Sorry, forgot you were using mapserver.  There is no particular  
difference in this case, probably MapServer is easier because it  
doesn't require anything special in the map file.

I don't know why you are getting white lines on the borders of your  
tiles.  If you grab the url from one of the tiles and load it  
directly, does the image have the white borders in it?  If yes then it  
is something to do with your mapserver map file.  If not, then it is  
some artefact coming from openlayers or css, you can use firefox and  
the firebug extension to inspect your tiles and see where the border  
is coming from.

Cheers

Paul
