[mapserver-users] tile4ms - Layer object STATUS

[Ted Spradley]

Hi All,

Still working on basics.  Now tiling.  Following the steps to tile data on
http://mapserver.org/utilities/tile4ms.html#tile4ms.

1. With STATUS ON, MS does not display the tiled data at any zoom level
2. With STATUS DEFAULT, MS displays the tiled data at all zoom levels

I have scratched my head over this one.  Your thoughts please?  The steps
followed and the associated mapfile are below.  The commented out lines are
exactly as in the actual file from debugging.

Thank you!

Ted S.

Steps from http://mapserver.org/utilities/tile4ms.html#tile4ms:

1. Create the meta-file
# find *areawater.shp -print > areawater_list.txt

2. Execute tile4ms
# tile4ms areawater_list.txt areawaterindex

3. areawaterindex.dbf, areawaterindex.shp, areawaterindex.dbx are created
     (I notice the contents of areawaterindex.dbf is only a single column,
LOCATION.  The instructional
      page shows an ID column)

4. Create the layer object for the mapfile.
