Hi, I am having some problems trying to get GeoWebCache working with MapServer. I currently have a fully functional MapServer / TileCache / OpenLayers system setup on the server. MapServer is functioning as a WMS server.
With a GeoWebCache layer I receive pink tiles, right clicking and viewing the image tile reports the following type of GeoWevCache error: 400: Empty metatile, error message: MimeType mismatch, expected image/png but got text/html I believe this means that GeoWebCache received a text response from MapServer instead of an image response. The previous error also came with a MapServer url. Hitting that url brings back the following MapServer error: msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String (/data/map-files/gbhgis.map?exceptions=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage) failed expression test I tried stripping down my map file to just a single layer but that did not help. I also tried using the shp2img command with my full map file: shp2img -m /data/map-files/gbhgis.map -o test.png -map_debug 3 The following debug information was output and the resulting png was blank / transparent: msDrawMap(): Drawing Label Cache, 0.000s msDrawMap() total time: 0.001s msSaveImage() total time: 0.031s There are many layers in my map file, yet nothing much happened with shp2img. Something seems a bit fishy. But everything works alright with Tilecache or with MapServer on its own with no caching. I'm confused. Does anybody have any ideas? Perhaps I could look at and compare the TileCache and GeoWebCache requests in the server log? However, it seems that there may be something more fundamentally wrong if shp2img returns northing.
