i already included the gdaltindex path in the environment variable. But another error occured, it said:

Creating new index file...

This error is ok, it is just telling you that the index file does not already exist and it is creating a new one. gdaltindex appends to an existing file so keep that in mind if you need to add to your tileindex.

ERROR 4: `sample*.tif' does not exist in the file system,
and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.

This says that there are no files in the current directory named sample*.tif what does a dir command respond with?

-Steve W

Unable to open sample*.tif, skipping."

what do you think is the problem here?

    It looks like it can't find gdaltindex.exe in the PATH environment
    variable. You will have to add the directory that gdaltindex.erxe
    lives in to your PATH variable, via Control Panel.
Option 2 is to specify the location of gdaltindex.exe when you run it: eg. C:\ms4w\data\raster>C:\ms4w\tools\gdaltindex sample_index.shp
    sample*.tif

    hi again robert,

    i tried running it in the cmd but it gives me an error message:

    C:\ms4w\data\raster>gdaltindex sample_index.shp sample*.tif
    'gdaltindex' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    so, what did i miss in the mapserver configuration? i'm using MS4W_2.3.1

        If you intend to store the sample_index.shp file in the same
        directory as your TIF files, then open a DOS cmd window and
        navigate to that directory "cd c:\ms4w\data\raster". once you
        are there, simply run:
gdaltindex sample_index.shp sample*.tif This will create the sample_index.shp file in that directory.
        the accompanying .dbf file will haev a single attribute field
        "Location" that will hold the name of each TIF file.
If you want, you can spatially index this file using the shptree
        utility that comes with Mapserver. It will create a spatial
        index .qix file.
In your Map file you will need to specify the location of the
        sample_index.
regards, Robert
