I am developing a mapping application using Openlayers, Mapserver and Mapcache and I am trying to understand all the terminology. Mapserver without any WMS parameters in the MAP file will return an image based on the url request. Mapserver becomes a WMS server when you add the necessary WMS parameters in the MAP file and will return an image similar to a plain Mapserver setup. When Mapcache is added to the mix, it can generate image tiles and serve those tiles to users as needed. What is the quickest way to serve image tiles using Mapserver? The image tiles will act as a custom background which displays buildings, roads, road names, parcel boundaries, and contours.
