David,
Either change your layer to say STATUS DEFAULT or add the layer to your
URL. e.g.
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apache/htdocs/test/t
est.map&mode=map&layer=Installation
The status thing catches a lot of people.
David.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] MapServer Beginner Stuck
I've been following MapServer from afar on James Fee's blog and
I've finally decided to take the plunge. I'm a long time ArcIMS
developer so these concepts in MapServer aren't that far off from what
I'm used to doing, but I have to admit I'm at a loss at getting my first
WMS service up and running.
I installed MS4W and have that running. The Demo runs
perfectly, but when I try and create my own .map file, I seem to have
hit a wall. This is the contents of my mapfile.
MAP
NAME Installation
SIZE 800 500
IMAGECOLOR 240 240 240
EXTENT 582919.88200 4182989.235900 610195.822000
4207241.321900
UNITS METERS
PROJECTION
"init=EPSG:32616"
END
WEB
IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"
IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"
END
LAYER
NAME "Installation"
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS ON
DATA "Installation_Area.shp"
CLASS
NAME 'Installation'
OUTLINECOLOR 60 60 60
COLOR 255 255 0
SYMBOL 0
END
END
END
Now when I test it, I get a blank grey background.
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apache/htdocs/test/t
est.map&mode=map
I'm sure there is something here I'm overlooking, but I just
can't seem to debug it. Any direction would be wonderful.
Thanks,
David
