[postgis-users] postgis and mapserver problem

[Jan Hartmann]

Hi Jeremy,

This seems to be the eternal STATUS DEFAULT problem. STATUS ON means 
that the calling URL has to indicate explicitly that the layer should be 
displayed (http://...?map=...&layer=...). Only layers with STATUS 
DEFAULT are always shown. It is confusing, and you are not the first one 
to have run into this.
