Ok so basically it is done right? it created sample_index.dbf,
sample_index.shp, and sample_index.shx. Now, which file should i load
into the .MAP as my basemap?
Not necessarily. You should address StephenW's previous question
(because if there is an error with the gdaltindex command an empty
shapefile is created, which is no good to you).
To verify the 'sample_index.shp' file you should open it in QGIS and
view it's attributes (there should be a record for each tif file). For
an example of what an index file should look like, see the screengrabs
in http://www.mapserver.org/utilities/tile4ms.html
An example from Robert Sanson:
LAYER
NAME nz250ktm
GROUP "Toposcans"
TYPE RASTER
STATUS ON
TILEINDEX ../data/nztm/250k_index
TILEITEM Location
MAXSCALE 300000
MINSCALE 75000
well, this is a layer right? what i mean is, this tile index will be the
basemap of the map instead of a layer, for example llike:
correct, you would point to your valid 'sample_index.shp' file in the
TILEINDEX parameter.
