Hi Jeff,
I came to this old post once again and I tried the above mentioned.
shp2img still produces an image which is blank or whatever the color of
the mapfile is defined. On the other hand I checked the EXTENT once
again and it was wrong so I changed to the appropriate one (EXTENT 17.00
33.00 32.00 42.00) which I checked on QGIS in WGS84 so it should be
fine. If STATUS is set to default or On there's no difference. I also
changed TYPE to line and polygon just to be sure but nothing.
My shapefile is a polygon with boundaries. Why wouldn't it appear on
the browser?
Thanks again and I'm sorry for writing about it so late.
Stefanos

Hi sorry long thread and I bet this has already been said, but here were
my thoughts when I read your problems:
- always test your mapfile at the commandline first, using the shp2img
utility (http://mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html). Once your layers
look find there in the generated map image then move to your application
- if using MapServer CGI (mode=map), a blank map often means you are not
specifically telling MapServer to turn on layers; try adding &LAYERS=all
- or setting each of your layer's STATUS values to DEFAULT might work
(but this can cause lots of trouble later, so this is not often recommended)
