Hi

I have hundreds, probably thousands, of orthophotos which I would like to access as easy as possible. They are in MrSid format, but I will convert them to geotiff.

My problem is that it is sometimes quite difficult to find the one covering the region I am working in and it involves quite some trial and error to get the right one (which is time intensive and annoying...).

I thought about setting up mapserver as a WMS server, but I didn't manage (might have to spend some m ore time on that). What I would like to know:

1) Is mapserver as WMS server the best solution or is there a more effective one?

2) If mapserver (WMS server) is the way to go - can somebody give me an example .map file which is achieving that?

3) the whole layer is obviously in several single tiles - can mapserver handle this as a single layer or do I( have to do something special?

Sorry for the slightly oftopic questions - but 1) should be ontopic.

Thanks

Rainer
